LIBRARY BOARD COMMENTS Geoff Armour stated that staff has been so busy checking out the videos that there are not enough people available to check them back in. Mr. Armour said that the number of videos being checked out is almost double what it was before they were displayed in the Library. In reply to query regarding the funds collected for insurance, Dr. Lange stated that money is restricted to audio/visual expenditures. Dr. Lange and Geoff Armour answered any questions the Board Members had regarding the individual Division Heads Reports. Some of the language used in the Reports was explained to Board Members and Geoff Armour stated he would ask the Department Heads to use language that is understandable to everyone and avoid using abbreviated words. Geoff Armour stated that in the Statistics Report for December that the Total Circulation column should be a ’plus 18” instead of the ’minus 18’ shown there. January 20, 1993 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Page 2 LIBRARY BOARD COMMENTS (Continued) Library Board Trustee Curtin suggested that when high school students do communtty service in the Library that is now required of them, that they be recognized for that service. CITY AND LIBRARY BUDGET STATUS REPORT - Potential State Budget Impact Dr. Lange referred to his Memorandum regarding the budget, which was contained in the packet. He said that at this time there is nothing new to report. The Board discussed the possibility that in the future, the public may have to vote whether they want to pay for certain Library services. Dr. Lange stated that there can be no charges for basic Library services. He added that if further cuts are made in the budget, hours and materials may have to be cut. VOLUNTEER PROGRAM BROCHURE Dr. Lange stated the Brochure needs further editing and asked the Board Members to review it and make suggestions. In reply to query regarding where these brochures will be available, he stated there will be copies available in the Library and a copy could be included in the envelope with the new Library cards that are issued. There was a discussion on whether to include a Circulation Category, which would include the basic jobs that high school students have been doing, and would include check in and check out work. LIBRARY ACQUISITIONS AND TECHNICAL SERVICES PRESENTATION (This item was trailed to the end of the Meeting) DIRECTOR’S REPORT: Dr. Lange reported that adequate parking for the Library has become an issue, particularly since3he rainy weather. Staff has met with the City to make improvements to the lot north of the paved parking lot. That lot will be improved and decomposed granite will be spread there. Dr. Lange said that in changing to the new security system, the checkpoint tags were left in books. MiraCosta College has that same system, and when books are taken into the College, the alarm is triggered. Geoff Armour has been discussing this with the College Library Director to resolve the problem. Dr. Lange reported on the Staff Meeting held last Friday, where the long-term part-time employees were recognized. He thanked the Board Members for attending and called attention to the photographs on display at this Meeting. He said there will be Staff Meetings every other month, with five more this year. The City is ready to launch the 9/80 work schedule on a voluntary basis. Staff would have every other Friday off and work four-nine hour days each week. Dr. Lange stated this is set to begin February 1. This is a negotiated employee benefit, and Council has stated it is not to lesson service to the citizens. * 1 ’I January 20, 1993 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Page 3 DIRECTOR’S REPORT: (Continued) Dr. Lange stated he will be on vacation the third week in February, and asked the Board to decide what to do about the regular Meeting date.

FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY: Dr. Lange announced the Friends will hold a book sale on Saturday, January 30, 1993, in the front yard of the Library. If there is rain, it will be held the following Saturday. GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY Virginia Watterson reported that the Society raised and spent over $2,000 for books for the month of December, with a total of over $17,000 for books and microfiche. She said the classes have been well-attended. SERRA ADVISORY BOARD: Dr. Lange reported the Board will meet this Thursday, January 21 , 1993, at the new Penasquitos Branch Library of the City of San Diego.

Attention was called to a letter from Mona O’Neal, 3631 -D Village Circle, Carlsbad, dated December 22, 1992, where Ms. O’Neal praised the service she has received in the Reference Section over the past few years. She stated the entire Library Staff are Yruly loving professionals in every sense and that the Carlsbad Library is THE BEST”. ADJOURNMENT: By proper motion, the Regular Meeting of January 20, 1993, was adjourned at 3:55 p.m., to be given a tour of the Technical Services area by Chris Pickavet and Susan Simpson.

The only program this month was storybooks about loving and giving, important to the themes of Christmas and Hanukkah. Their Bedtime Storyhour. Preschoolers listened to DECEMBER 1992 CIRCULPiTION DIVISION The newly remodeled circulation desk and video area opened during the first week of December. The video collection that had been in storage was placed on shelves in the new video area. This expanded the video collection from 2637 to approximately 7000 videos shelved in the new self-serve video area. The increase in the number of readily available videos and the ability of the patrons to browse through the open stacks have caused the circulation of the videos to increase 96% over the same period of 1991. During the month of December $6363.50 was paid in video insurance fees. The new book labels have been modified to indicate the date the book was added to the collection. This will enable the staff to place books in the regular collection after six months on the new book shelves. This procedure provides more room for the newer additions to the collection. With the overall increase in the circulation of items in the library and the departure of some personnel, the circulation staff has been working extremely hard. It is to the staff's credit that the library's standard of courteous, efficient service has been maintained. During the mon CHILDREN'S DIVISION MONTHLY STATEMENT DECEMBER 1992 h of December we had over 400 children and aLcllts attend preschool storyhours, Prime Time Club, Hanukkah program, Storycraft, the Tree Trimming Party, and a Multicultural Program at the Centro de Inforrnacion. .

Doris and Connie presented the story of Strega Nonna and her During the month of December we worked on two programs in cooperation with the Centro staff, in order to encourage Spanish speaking children and parents to use the Main Library as well as the Centro. Working with Lizeth, the Centro director, we wrote and recorded a puppet show in Spanish and presented it at the Centro. The show consisted of The Elephant's Child and Are You My Mother?, in Spanish, of course. This was to help the audience to become acquainted with us. 44 The Centro staff assisted us in our Tree Trimming Party so that Spanish speakers would feel that they would know someone at th'e Party and feel encouraged to come. in Spanish and also gave each child a jingle bell. Lizeth presented The Polar Express In addition, the children made - Page 2 ' decorations for our tree and for their own and we had refreshments. Last year we tried a sample of Juvenile C.D.s to see if they would ciiculate, and they did so.we11 that we'are expanding the collection considerably this year. We are also expanding the Juvenile-Oversize cassette collection(what most. people call "Talking Books"), due to increased demand. Records are still circulating, but we will need to weed this section in order to make room for the other collections. TechniCaI Services Report December 1992 In December, Technical Services staff added 1,073 books and 263 audiovisual items to the library's collection.

The Governor has just released his proposed budget for next year along with a very rough outline of how this plan affects schools, counties and cities. Needless to say, it is not a pretty picture. The Governor has proposed a plan that will take $2.1 billion from cities and counties, $300 million from redevelopment agencies, and an additional $180 million from enterprise special districts. In short, as expected, the State will be looking to local government to help balance the State budget in 1993-94. Although this early information is very skerchy, we can begin to quantify the effects of the Governor's plan on the City of Carisbad. They fall into the following three categories: 1. General Fund The Governor's proposal will take a significant amount of property tax revenue away from the General Fund in 1993-94. These losses would be over and above the amount taken in 1992-93. If the State were to take the so called "AB 8 Bail Out Funds" remaining after the 1992-93 reduction (which is one interpretation of the Governor's proposal), the General Fund would lose about $1.5 million. .This represents about 11% of the current General Fund property tax revenue of $13.2 million and is equal to 4% of the total General Fund budget for 1992-93. There is another rumor circulating that the Governois proposal will not be limited to taking the remaining balance of the AB 8 funds, but will take as much as 45% of the total General Fund property tax revenue. This would be a loss of about $6 million in property tax revenue, or a total reduction in the General Fund budget of 15%. In either case, this additional loss, when added to the reductions experienced in 1992-93, would cause a significant budget problem for the City. The State's interest in taking additional funds from local government comes as no surprise. Most proposals placed before the legislature last year called for a series of reductions in local government support. The disturbing portion of the Governor's proposal is the depth of the cut into local government programs, and the continued attack on property tax revenues. 1' 2. Redeveloument Anencv The "One-The" reduction in redevelopment revenues imposed by the State in 1992- 93 appears to have been misnamed. The Governor has proposed continuing the reduction. 1993-94 Stare Budget January 8, 1993 Page No. 2 In 1992-93 the Stare rook $260,000 from the City of Carlsbad Redevelopment Agency. This was clearly to have been a one-time occurrence as stated in the budget explanation documents. The Governor has proposed a continuance of this reduction, plus taking an additional $100 million from all redevelopment agencies by limiting the total revenue to any agency to that amount necessary to pay annual debt service. This plan would effectively eliminate the ability to pay for the operation of an agency from current tax increment revenue. The City of Carlsbad would feel this reduction in two ways. First the Redevelopment Agency would have to pay the State $260,000 in 1993-94 out of its existing fund balances, if any balances exist. If funds are not available in the Agency’s fund balance, the General Fund would have to make up the shortfall. Second, the Agency’s annual operating budget would have to be funded from the General Fund. The current Agency budget is $780,000. The combined effect of these two reductions could seriously restrict the Redevelopment Agency‘s ability to operate, and could cost the General Fund as much as $1 million in 1993-94. 3. Enternrise SDecial- Districts The Governor has again proposed that the State take away the property tax paid to enterprise special districts like the Carlsbad Municipal Water District (CMWD). This plan was seriously considered last year, and was scrapped as the final budget plan was adopted in September 1992. CMWD receives about $750,000 annually in property tax revenue, used to support the District‘s Capital Improvement Program (CIP). If this source if funding is lost the District will need to reduce CIP expenditures on both a short and long tern basis, or increase water rates to make up for the shortfalk A water rate increase of about $0.115 per unit would be needed to make up for this loss. In summary, the City stands to lose significant amounts of revenue under the Governor‘s 1993-94 Budget. It is still much too early to know exactly how the State’s budget will finally look, but we can begin to estimate the range of our exposure. The attached table gives a snapshot of how the City‘s losses look at this time. Please remember it is very early cycle. Anything can, and probably will, happen in Sacramento. We will keep ed as the year‘s events unfold. n I/”””” F. -Ow Enclosures c: Department Heads c ‘City of Carlsbad Governor’s Budget Proposal - January 1993 Fund Range of Loss Percent of Operating Budget General Fund Low High Low Hiqh Property Tax Loss 1,500,000 6,000,000 3.8% 15.2% Redevelopment Tax Loss Paid from General Fund 260,000 1,000,000 0.7% 2.5% Total General Fund 1,760,000 7,000,000 4.5% 17.7% Carlsbad Municipal Water District Property Tax Loss 750,000 750,000 Total Potential Loss - All Funds 2.51 0.000 7,750.000 January 8, 1993 TO: ALL COOPERATIVE LIBRARY SYSTEMS FOR FORWARDING TO MEMBER LIBRARIES AND ClA LEGISLATIVE CONTACTS ,.A;; '. -* .. .: s=: .
