$350,000.00 for the Library Department Worth Reading Program and Additional Library Books and

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated
receipts and appropriations in the Special Donations Fund in the amount of$350,000.00 for the Library
Department Worth Reading Program and additional library books and materials.
DISCUSSION:
In order to reconcile previously received funds in the Special Donations Fund and establish the financial
framework to support Worth Reading programs and buy additional books and materials for the Library
Department, an appropriations ordinance is needed. The Library Department receives special use
revenues from donations and other designated funding. These funds are used to provide additional
support for programs and events at libraries and to buy additional materials for public use.
In prior years, the Library has received donations from the Fort Worth Public Library Foundation, the
Friends of the Fort Worth Public Library, the Virginia O'Donnell Trust, Briggs Freeman Real Estate
Brokerage, the Fort Worth Genealogical Society, the Turner Living Trust, The Parenting Center, the
Elizabeth Crockett Chapter NSDAR, Financial Executives Int'l, G. Hill Lattimore, EKB Hospitality
Associates, LLC, Elizabeth A. Battista, S.E. Havis, J.A. & J.Z. Davis, C & R Estrada, JF & CJ Patrick, and
C & G Yocom.
After review of the actual receipts in the Special Donations Fund, Staff has determined that a portion of
the receipts from prior years have not yet been appropriated by the City Council.
This Mayor and Council Communication is subject to the restriction that the total amount of all such
appropriations will not exceed the actual amount received by the Special Donations Fund that are
assigned to the Library Department. Furthermore, the Special Donations Fund is subject to the
