Re: Projected Budget Revenues for 2003-2004
We have received the good news that the Library Budget should receive additional revenues of
approximately $200,000 next year, thereby reducing the shortfall to approximately$400,000 for
2003-2004. Although we have not discussed this change with the Board officially, we would like
to ask the Council to ensure that the budget reflects this additional anticipated revenue.
At this moment, we would recommend that $112,000 of this restored funding be added to the
operating contingency. If the full revenue estimate materials by April of 2004, we would allocate
these funds to restore some of the cutbacks planned for collections. If not, we have a bit more in
contingency to absorb any additional revenue disappointments.
We would like to keep the two branches - Sprague and Day-Riverside - open on Sundays. These
cutbacks seems to have created the greatest concern from patrons.
We would also like to use approximately $25,000 for limited one-time performance recognition
awards for staff. Since merit increases were eliminated and we think it wise to avoid increases
that could have long-term impact this year, this would enable us to acknowledge the remarkable
performance of many of our staff throughout this very demanding and successful year.
Therefore, the changes would restore approximately $100,000 to the Personnel Budget and the
other $112,000 to the operating contingency.
We will look forward to additional conversation on Thursday.
