9/19/78 CP-43 Program
PROPOSAL PROPOSED BY: Louis J. I Y MANA ER'S REVIEW
Zapata, Councilman ` ,
During the City Council Budget study session for the Public Library, the Library
Director requested continued funding for two half-time Equipment Operator positions
which had been deleted in the proposed Budget from the Outreach Programs at the
North and Southeast Branches. It was my understan3ing that the reduced funding
that the Council approved for the Bookmobile Program ($66,113) was contingent upon
these Equipment Operators being reinstated in the adopted Budget. For this reason
the item was not specifically placed on the list of items to be considered for
funding by the City Council.
Recommendation
It is my recommendation that the City Council approve funding of $10,117 for these two
positions for FY 1978-79 to provide for continuation of the Outreach Programs at their
existing staffing level.
Fiscal Note
Reinstatement of these two part-time positions would require addit' Qf=ds i the
amount of $10,117. If the City Council approves this actio .f om ow-lb) Cil
Contingency (Account Number 40-70-00) could be used f _: Ypo r
Legality
Not required.
City Manager's Comments
The FY 1978-79 Adopted Budget reflects the delet n o he alf-t' tri'
Operator positions from the Public Library. The po ons we ed for
deletion in the initial stage of the budget revie process. The rary Director did
not appeal their deletion to either the Budget Dir ctor o e City Manager and the
item was not included by the Library Director in t st of unfinanced needs for
the Library. An appeal was made before the City Council during the budget study
sessions but was not formally acted upon by the Council. Historically, the Equipment
Operators have assisted the librarian operating the Outreach Program by serving as
drivers, assisting in equipment preparation and operation, and, at times, providing
transportation for individuals to programs being offered in the Branches.
