San Bruno City Council Meeting July 27, 2010 10d. Approve 2010-11 Operating Budget
A
B
B
Specifically,
the
City
Council
asked
that
we
evaluate
options
for
restoring
a
portion
of
the
part-time
hours
at
the
library
that
were
proposed
for
elimination
and,
more
specifically,
that
we
evaluate
that
request
in
the
context
of
assuring
that
the
library
would
then
not
need
to
close
on
fridays.
As
the
city
council
is
aware,
the
budget
currently
proposes
elimination
of
70
thousand
dollars
or
roughly
fifty
percent
of
the
previous
year's
allocation
to
part-time
hourly
salaries
for
staff
in
the
library.
B
I
would
only
mention
for
the
council's
information
that
they're
the
amount
that's
in
the
prior-year
910
budget
is
already
substantially
reduced
from
years
prior
to
that
period
of
time.
So
there's
been
a
successive
almost
annual
over
the
past
several
years,
elimination
of
funding
for
part-time
hours
in
the
library.
B
So
at
this
point
we
we
move
to
reduce
the
remaining
amount
by
fifty
percent
as
one
of
the
many
budget
reduction
strategies
by
restoring
approximately
twenty-two
thousand
dollars
of
that,
seventy
thousand
dollar
amount
staff
can
avoid,
or
the
city
can
avoid
reduction
in
library
hours
where
the
library
is
open
and
available
to
the
public.
Currently,
the
library
is
open
from
1pm
to
5pm.
On
Friday
and
10pm
29
p.m.
on
monday,
through
thursday,
the
library
is
open
from
window
in,
on
saturday
nine
to
five
ten
25
on
saturday.
B
The
budget
proposal
is
at
its
to
eliminate
12
hours
of
operation
that
includes
opening
an
hour
later
in
closing
an
hour
early
earlier
on
monday
through
thursday
as
well,
and
so
for
total
of
eight
hours
in
eliminating
the
four
remaining
hours
of
operation
on
fridays.
As
I
indicated,
the
city
council
asks
that
we
come
back
to
you
with
options
that
would
eliminate
the
need
to
close
on
friday.
That
would
essentially
restore
22
thousand
dollars
of
funding
for
part-time
hourly
staff.
B
The
report
that
you
have
in
front
of
you
tonight
evaluates,
or
gives
you
some
perspective
about
number
of
different
options.
That
staff
considered
focus
on
the
recommendation,
and
that
is
that
this
amount
could
be
funded
via
a
restricted
fund
that
the
city
has
generated
has
built
up
over
the
past,
though
in
many
years
we
receive
on
an
annual
basis,
proximately
sixty
thousand
dollars,
or
at
least
that's
the
current
annual
receipts
in
two
pots
of
money
from
the
state
library
fund.
B
So
there
is
a
real
coordination
cooperation
that
occurs
not
just
regionally
through
the
peninsula
library
system,
but
on
a
statewide
basis.
A
portion
of
the
costs
for
participating
in
that
type
of
program
is
reimbursed
to
the
city
through
the
interlibrary
loan
program
and
those
amounts
have
in
in
prior
years
accrued
to
the
development
of
a
state
library
fund
that
is
on
deposit
with
the
city.
B
Those
are
city
resources,
they
are
generally
restricted
by
council
policy
to
library
uses,
and
it
was
originally
I
think
the
City
Council's
intent
that
that
fund
would
provide
seed
money
for
a
new
library.
I
think
that
this
intent
goes
back.
A
number
of
years,
in
fact,
we
have
generated
or
had
generated
a
relatively
substantial
balance
of
in
the
seven
to
eight
hundred
thousand
dollar
range.
B
My
situation
incident
is
not
in
the
foreseeable
future.
The
amount
that
the
city
receives
from
a
state
library
fund
program
in
recent
years
in
the
past
approximate
for
years
has
in
fact
not
been
deposited
to
that
fund,
but
has
been
funding,
has
been
offsetting
the
general
fund
costs
of
operating
the
library
in
the
current
year.
We
are
using
115,000
dollars
from
that
fund,
a
portion
of
which
will
be
received
in
new
revenue
this
year,
but
a
portion
which
is
simply
drawing
down
the
balance
of
that
fund.
B
The
proposal
tonight
is
to
take
an
additional
twenty
two
thousand
dollars
out
of
that
fund
to
restore
the
operating
hours
on
Friday
via
the
additional
contribution
to
part-time
hourly
staff
salaries.
I
think,
as
my
presentation
has
probably
clarified,
this
is
a
an
option
that
remains
viable
for
the
City
Council
to
consider
for
a
limited
period
of
time.
B
It
very
briefly
other
options
that
staff
considered
related
specifically
to
the
library
and
one
that
I
want
to
comment
on
in
particular
is
okay.
So
maybe
you
could
just
look
at
closing
the
library
at
different
four
hours,
maintain
the
library
open
on
fridays,
but
maybe
close
at
an
additional
third
hour
of
the
day
on
Monday
through
Thursday
and
thereby
get
to
the
same
number
of
hours
in
consultation
with
library
staff.
B
That
was
something
that
they
felt
very
strongly
was
not
immediately
workable
in
that
that
you
reach
a
critical
point
in
staffing,
any
operation
and,
in
particular,
I
think.
We've
reached
that
with
the
library
where
it's
not
just
a
matter
of
you
can
cut
back
the
hours
and
still
stretch
the
rubber
band
as
as
far
as
as
we
would
like
to
do
that.
That
additional
day
really
does
present
a
need
for
the
flexibility
that
the
part-time
staff
availability
provides,
and
that's
the
reason
that
we
are
recommending
to
you
number
one
that
it
requires
the
additional
funding.
B
If
you
want
the
outer
library
open
on
Friday
and
that
again,
and
my
recommendation
is
that
you
use
they
library
fun
as
opposed
to
going
to
other
resources
trying
to
juggle
around
other
funds
or
as
I
know,
the
council
is,
would
not
have
anticipated.
You
wouldn't
want
me
coming
back
and
saying
you
could
use
the
reserve.
So
I
didn't
do
that.
B
B
A
B
A
A
Still
be
70,000
would
would
restore
everything
Michael
here
if
I
remember
correctly
from
the
report,
you
did
mention
possibly
reducing
staff
during
portions
of
when
the
library
is
open,
but
that
might
have
some
negative
impacts,
and
I
was
wonder
if
you
could
maybe
elaborate
on.
If
say,
one
less
person
was
working
on
a
shift.
A
B
Yeah
I
didn't
actually
address
that
in
detail
in
the
report
and
I.
Actually,
if
John,
if
you
can
come
to
the
podium
and
maybe
address
this
in
a
little
more
detail,
my
understanding
is
that
we
currently
staff
the
library
with
the
minimum
of
four
persons,
honestly
what
I
would
say
given
the
size
and
the
utilization
of
the
facility,
the
numbers
of
persons
in
it
just
from
a
safety
perspective,
cutting
that
it
gives
me
a
great
deal
of
concern.
It's
a
very
busy,
very
active
library.
B
Not
only
do
we
want
to
be
able
to
if
you're
going
to
open
the
doors,
I
think
you
need
to
be
able
to
provide
the
service
that
people
come
to
a
library
expect
qualified
reference,
professional
somebody
that
can
assist
you.
It's
not
just
a
matter
if
people
can
come
in
and
get
books
and
check
them
out,
there's
really
a
great
deal
more
to
what
goes
on
in
the
library.
So
I
would
say.
There's
two
things:
one
is
to
be
able
to
provide
at
least
a
minimal
level
of
regular
service,
and,
secondly,
safety,
considerations
and.
A
That
your
question
already
has
been
answered.
We
have
already
taken
that
into
consideration
so,
regardless
of
whether
I
was
there
or
not,
we
already
have
to
reduce
by
one
person
our
on
the
desk,
primarily
between
the
hours
of
two
and
five,
which
are
typically
busier.
We
usually
had
a
additional
person
on
that
already
had
to
be
taken
off
the
table
as
well.
So
that's
already
in
the
mix
in
this
conversation.
So
thank
you.
C
Just
through
the
chair,
I
appreciate,
yes,
sure
I
would
not
have
supported
it
with
if
it
were
reserves.
I
understand
this
doesn't
solve
the
problem.
It
gets
us
through
this
budget
cycle.
We
could
still
have
the
same
situation
come
forward
again,
but
this
is
a
I
think.
The
resource
that
has
been
identified
is
what
it's
supposed
to
be
used
for
is
library
and
services
and
I
think
this
is
a
service
that
community
needs
in
these
challenging
times
and
I
would
agree
that
I
think
if
we're
only
having
four
at
that
point,
that's
very
minimal
staffing.
C
Obviously
people
do
get
ill.
There
are
occasions
and
other
issues
that
arise
and
I
think.
If
we
are
going
to
open
the
doors,
we
have
to
have
a
full
complement
of
staff
that
will
be
able
to
not
only
maintain
the
safety
of
the
facility
and
the
risk
factors,
but
also
be
able
to
provide
the
service
to
the
community.
D
The
chair,
I,
first
of
all,
I,
do
appreciate
all
the
effort
it
took
to
find
the
money.
I
know
it's
not
easy
and
to
do
the
analysis
to
say
where
the
staff
should
go
and
shouldn't
go.
I
really
hope
that
the
public
appreciates
the
enormity
of
what
four
people
do
in
the
library
there's
900
people
in
and
out
of
that
library.
All
day
long,
every
single
day
the
people
who
are
there
answer,
I
I've
stood
there
and
watched
they
answer
questions
they
hurt
children
in
and
out.
D
They
help
people
at
the
computers
they
find
things
for
people.
There
is
a
self-checkout
station
that
if
you
have
your
books,
but
it's
like
the
self
checkout
at
the
grocery
store,
I
mean
you
stand
there
and
you
know
every
third
person
you
need.
You
need
assistance
on
you've
all
done
it
I've
done
it.
It
doesn't
it's
not
seamless
as
much
as
we
would
like
it
to
be
it's.
You
know
if
you
stand
there
and
look
behind
the
desk
and
all
those
books
that
have
to
be
resolved
and
looked
at
and
repaired
every
single
day.
D
It's
its
twenty
two
thousand
dollars
is
a
small
price
to
pay
to
keep
the
library
open
for
people
who
have
no
other
resources.
You
know
this
is
I
realized.
They
still
take
the
furlough,
but
this
is
44
days
that
people
will
now
be
able
to
use
the
library,
so
I
would
love
to
introduce
the
resolution
to
approve
of
this
and
the
rest
of
the
budget.
