BOX 326 TELEPHONE 305 1611100 August 2, 1984 M E M O R A N D U M TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: CITY MANAGER RE: LIBRARY FUNDING Fundscontributed by the City and the donation from Shuford Mills to the Cape Canaveral Library have been expended. Irene Sanders has requested that the City continue funding the part- time personnel until September 30 so that the Library can remain open Monday evenings and Saturdays. Circulation and Library patrons have increased since the extended hours were begun. Patrons have became familiar with the new hours and are taking advantage of the evening and weekend service. Though the 1984-85 County Library budget has not been approved by the Board of County Commissioners, there is some optimism that additional funding may be available after October 1 for the Cape Canaveral Library. The Commissioners have approved for further consideration, a ten percent (10%) increase in ad valorem taxes for the County Library System. Also, the County staff is discussing a mechanism to distribute the revenues more equitably to the various Libraries. Increased circulation and community support should help the Cape Canaveral Library obtain more funding. The cost to the City for continuation of the subsidy to the Library until September 30 would be $970.00. Funds are available in the Contingency account for this expense. gee c C. Nut PCN. ab
