SUMMARY STATEMENT:
To support the upcoming library expansion, the Library Board is in contract negotiations with Markley, LLC for fundraising consultant work and Amy Rush for local fundraising coordination.
The work to be done by the consultants were not budgeted in FY17, but staff would like to have this work scheduled to start in April. Therefore a budget amendment is requested. The
public hearing for the budget amendment would be scheduled for March 23rd. Currently, $23.291.46 is available through the library’s LGIP fund, which would be expended first. Then for
the remainder of funding that would be needed would utilize some of the library fund balance. A full accounting of the requested budget amendment to include the amount of funds available
in the library’s fund balance will be presented to Council during the meeting. It is anticipated that both contracts would continue into FY18, but would be budgeted according to the
City’s usual timeline.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve the request for a budget amendment in the amount of $30,000 to cover the costs of the library fundraising consultants, direct staff to notice a public hearing for the budget
amendment and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
