SUBJECT:      ADOPTION OF APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE AND FUNDING SOURCES RESOLUTION AMENDMENTS IN THE GENERAL FUND TO REBUDGET FUNDING FROM 2000-2001 FOR THE ACQUISITION OF BOOKS PROJECT IN THE LIBRARY DEPARTMENT

.

COUNCIL DISTRICT: City-wide

 

 

RECOMMENDATION

 

It is recommended that the City Council adopt the following Appropriation Ordinance and Funding Sources Resolution amendments in the General Fund:

 

1.      Increase the Library Capital appropriation for the Acquisition of Books project in the amount of $621,000.

 

2.  Increase the Beginning Fund Balance by $621,000.

 

BACKGROUND

 

The Acquisition of Books project provides funding for the acquisition of books, periodical subscriptions, and other types of publications.

 

ANALYSIS

 

At the end of 2000-2001, the acquisition of books project had a remaining balance of $621,000.  The recommended technical adjustment would restore these unexpended funds from last fiscal year.  One million dollars was allocated for a two-year initiative to increase the holdings at the Main Library.  Materials are being ordered and processed, and will continue through fiscal year 2001-2002.  This would fund acquisition of materials including books.
