In January 2013, the Library Department(Library) added a full-time Database Administrator to be fully
funded from the Special Revenue Library Automation System Sharing Fund. This fund (established by
M&C G-7311, November 3, 1987) is reserved to offset the costs associated with improving and expanding
the Library's Integrated Library System (ILS), a software computer system which manages the Library's
materials inventory, borrower database, check-out and check-in processes, fines accounting, acquisitions
and materials budget, on-line catalog and related function. Through Interlocal Agreements, the Fort Worth
Library provides ILS, telecommunications, delivery services and reciprocal borrowing for client libraries in
Benbrook, Burleson, Haltom City, Keller, Richland Hills and Watauga, Texas. All revenue received from
buy-in, annual maintenance and delivery service received from these client libraries is deposited in this
account. This action will move the funds from the Special Revenue Library Automation System Sharing
Fund to fund future salary payments and reimburse the General Fund for the previous salary payments for
this Database Administrator.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Financial Management Services Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations
and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the current operating
budget, as appropriated, of the General Fund.
