Adam Weinacker
Library Board President
Noah Baskett
Executive Director
It is with pride and gratitude that I present this proposed budget for the Salt Lake City Public Library for fiscal year 2025. Having
stepped into the role of Executive Director in January 2024, I am humbled by the opportunity to further this 125-year-old institution’s
mission alongside a committed team of staff, and the broad trust of our city’s residents.
This budget focuses on strengthening the role that the Library plays in our city as a whole, and the unique and distinct
neighborhoods served by our eight locations.
April 2024
Mayor Mendenhall, City Council Members, and Residents of Salt Lake City,
Our operational priorities are:
• Making progress toward optimal staffing levels across the system – ensuring that we are fully equipped to serve all
patrons with excellence.
• Staff compensation and training – fairly compensating and supporting our staff who serve our residents with deep
commitment and care.
• Increasing the investment in our collection – extending access to books and other materials for our growing number
of residents.
Our capital priorities are:
• Improving our safety and security infrastructure – ensuring all patrons feel safe at the Library.
• Completing ongoing maintenance projects – maintaining our facilities for effective operations.
• Our Library Facilities Plan – building the groundwork for future growth and facilities to better serve city residents.
We created these priorities in alignment with the City’s Four Pillars, and feel as if we are marching in step toward a brighter future for
all of Salt Lake City.
This budget will allow us to deepen our connections to the communities we already serve and expand our reach – stepping into the
places where there are unmet needs. We’re already deeply embedded in SLC neighborhoods, but as the city grows, we must continue
to invest in the Library system so we can be active in contributing to a flourishing Salt Lake City. I’m confident that this budget
propels us toward the City’s collective goals.
A letter from the Executive Director
& Board President
We thank you for your close partnership and continued support!

This chart reflects the estimated property tax amount for each $100,000 of residential property
value and each $1,000,000 of commercial property value.
Tax Year 2024 amounts are based on FY25 budgeted real and personal property tax revenue less
estimaged new growth and a five percent increase in 2023 property values.
Tax Revenues
The Library’s primary source of funding is
property taxes. Current Year Property Tax
revenue has been budgeted at the amount
generated by the 2023 certified tax rate plus
an estimated amount for new growth of
$300,000 and a proposed increase of $5.3
million. The Library’s current property tax
rate is 0.000580, which is 58.0 percent of
the ceiling established by the Utah State
statute. If the proposed tax rate increase is
adopted, the 2024 estimated tax rate would
be 0.000710.
The Library is also required to budget for
property tax revenues collected by Salt Lake
County that are paid directly to other
government entities without coming directly
to the Library. An offsetting transfer from
the Library equal to this revenue is reflected
in the Transfers from the Library. The
amount of this transfer for FY25 is
estimated at $1,280,000.

reopened and demand for services such as passports was
temporarily high.
Charges for Lost/Damaged Items
Revenue from Charges for Lost/Damaged Items is anticipated to
remain at consistent levels with FY24.
Miscellaneous Revenues
Miscellaneous revenue is budgeted to decrease as interest earnings
are projected to decline if interest rates settle and some of the
Library’s fund balances being used to fund capital projects.
Contributions & Transfers
The FY25 budget does not propose using any of the General Fund
balance, as projects in recent years have drawn down some of these
funds for one-time expenditures and capital projects. Transfers from
the General Fund include $3,894,000 for capital projects and
$986,000 to make payments on bonds for the Marmalade and
Glendale branches.

Debt Service Overview
Funds necessary to meet the lease payments on the Glendale and
Marmalade branches are derived from a portion of the Library’s
certified tax rate designated for such. The designated revenues are
deposited in the General fund.
Granite School District’s youth Powwow group Li’l Feathers perform at Main during Native American Heritage Month.
The amount needed to meet the lease payment is then transferred
to the Debt Service fund. The Library is funding the lease payment
one year ahead of schedule — the FY25 transfer will cover the
payment for FY26.

Revenues Overview
Funding for capital projects accounted for
in the Capital Projects fund comes from
three sources: a transfer from the General
fund, interest earnings on the cash balance
in the fund, and the Capital Projects fund.
The fund balance is a result of unspent
money accumulated from prior years. The
transfer from the General fund to the
Capital Projects fund includes the annual
$900,000 of designated facilities
maintenance funds and $600,000 of
designated technology-related funds.
Expenditures Overview
Budgeted capital projects are unique from
year to year based on needs and requests.
