SAN DIEGO COUNTY REGIONAL LIBRARY AUTHORITY ORDINANCE
Dr. Lange reported the ordinance was approved by the Library Authority at the second
meeting, and this authorizes placing the measure on the November 6 ballot. He stated
this is what will be voted on and needs to be understood. There will be a one quarter
cent tax for five years, beginning April 1, 1997. This measure requires a 2/3 vote of
approval and all of the library jurisdictions listed have targets for the expenditure of
the money (this is required by State law). He said that Carlsbad made theirs as
generic as possible. He reiterated that these funds must supplement-not supplant.
Dr. Lange said the Taxpayers Association met last week and voted to oppose this
ordinance and will write arguments in opposition. He said the ballot language is still
being worked on, and all 18 cities have agreed to and voted for this.
Board Trustee Moss asked about the money to be placed in the endowment, and Dr.
Lange stated that they may put half into the endowment and the other half to be for
the things they need to do immediately. He added that there are about five or six
years of things accumulated that need to be done now.
Board Trustee Moss stated she would like to see some numbers before the percentage
is determined and Vice President L’Heureux concurred. The consensus was that the
amount needed for “catch-up” projects is needed, with specifics.
Dr. Lange indicated that he could get that information. He said that the County will
supply the staff and the cost of the election, and if the ordinance passes, that will be
paid for out of tax money. He said that the new library will be built, regardless of
whether this passes or not. He told of the groups that are supporting the measure and
said there will be a massive campaign waged for the passage of the ballot measure.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION TRANSFER TO LIBRARY. -
Discussion
Dr. Lange stated that this item has been discussed previously, and the reason for the
transfer to the Library is that this Commission no longer relates to the Building and
Planning Departments, as it had originally. He said that Geoff Armour has agreed to
staff this Commission.
Geoff Armour said that there had been a recommendation to combine this Commission
with the Arts Commission, but that was rejected. He said the Library is responsible
for the Arts Commission and the Sister City Committee, so it would fit to have this
Commission as part of the Library’s responsibility.

LIBRARY WORKSTATION REORGANIZATION IN CIRCULATION,
CHILDREN’S AND LOADING DOCK AREA.
Dr. Lange explained the changes made and referred to the drawing included in the
packet. He stated they are purchasing new furniture and this will provide a more
effective use of the space. These improvements are budgeted for in the re-model of
the Library, and the furniture there is 29 years old.
Geoff Armour stated that there will be a major change in the loading dock area, with
more space available for gifts from organizations. He said that in the Fall, the
storage room back of the Children’s Area will be re-organized.
ACCEPTANCE OF GIFT FROM FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY.
ACTION: On motion by Library Board Trustee Moss, the Library
Board accepted a donation of $43,520.00 from the Friends
of the Library, and directed an appropriate letter of thanks
to be written to the Friends.
AYES: L’Heureux, Curtin, Moss and Woodward
ELECTION OF OFFICERS.
ACTION: On proper motions, the Library Board unanimously elected
Board Member L’Heureux as President for the coming year
and Board Member Curtin as Vice-president.
DIRECTOR’S REPORT:
Dr. Lange reported that the State Library networking forums have been going on for
five or six years, with over 2,000 Librarians involved. He said they are to the final
version of what they want to do, with a series of workshops to review the draft
legislation to enable them to tap into all types of libraries. He said there will be a
meeting in Pasadena this Friday to review draft legislation, and the revised draft will
be on next month’s agenda for this Board to review.
Dr. Lange stated that the program for funding of service to non-residents has not been
fully funded the last few years, and there has been a great deal of discussion with
regard to this as it has caused havoc throughout the State. Some libraries want to be
able to charge non-residents a fee, but do not want to lose their status as members of
the Library System. It will take three million dollars to fully fund a transaction based
reimbursement program.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT: (Continued)
Dr. Lange said that the City Manager asked him to Chair the Strategic Initiative Team
on Communications, and there have been seven meetings so far, and there may be two
more. This involves internal and external communications, and Dr. Lange said it has
been an interesting experience.
Dr. Lange reported that a sunshade has been installed in the atrium, and that will help
with the sun glare that had existed for the Circulation Desk. This will also help the
self-check out machine.
Dr. Lange stated that the linked-systems project that connects this Library with the
San Diego City and County and Chula Vista, will be available to the public by the end
of this year.
Dr. Lange reported that the part of City Hall housing the Council Members and the
City Manager is being remodeled and that building will be out of commission for the
next few weeks. He said that the Media space will also be redone.
Dr. Lange said he was happy to report that final approval has been given to fill the
Reference Librarian position.
Dr. Lange reported on the State of the City luncheon, which was attended by more than
150 people. He said there were breakout sessions, and one was for the Library, and
six or seven people wanted information on the new library.
Dr. Lange stated that October IO would be the Teachers Open House in the Council
Chambers, with an orientation session on the Library and the services provided. He
said that this was a successful event last year, with over 50 teachers in attendance.
FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY:
Dr. Lange stated that the Board will meet in September and there will be a new liaison
for this Board.
GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY:
Geoff Armour stated that the Library is trying to have closer communication with the
Genealogical Society and the Board of Directors. He said he is meeting with their
Board every month, and that the biggest issue is one of space. The Genealogical
Research Collection does not get any smaller, and it is a problem to make the
maximum use of the space available in order to satisfy both the Society’s and the
Library’s needs. He added that this is the most significant resource of its kind south
of Los Angeles. In response to comment by President L’Heureux, Mr. Armour agreed
that one of the options is to have them move to another site; however, the cost to rent
space then creates another problem.

Thursday, August 22, in San Diego.

ADULT LEARNING PROGRAM
Monthly Report
July 1996
1. Librarv Assistant Position
While the proposed Library Assistant position is processed, the Assistant City Manager approved
having staff member Shirley Taylor continue working, with her hours changed from 40 to 19
hours per week, starting July 1. She continues to staff the classrooms during evening hours, plus
some morning hours. The change in number of hours has thus far resulted in delays in learners
starting tutoring, delays in preparatiodavailability of tutoring materials, more interruptions for all
staff, and delays in tutorsflearners getting needed assistance. However, we are gratefbl to still
have Shirley working with us, and on July 9 we celebrated her 78* birthday!
2. Adult Learning Proeram Collection
For the first time since its establishment over 12 years ago, the Adult Learning Program collection
in the Main Library acquired professional section and shelf labels in July. The labels are color-
coded, bilingual, and have the Adult Learning Program logo on them to help adult learners locate
the collection. Additional shelf labels will be added this year.
3. Intermediate Curriculum
Eight experienced tutors and staff met on July 25 to review and implement the work done by
volunteers and staff so far in developing a curriculum for learners progressing to intermediate
level skills.
4. Strategic Planning
On July 2, stafF met with volunteer consultant Carrie Scott to review progress on the Adult
Learning Program’s Strategic Plan and to target areas still needing improvement. Specifically,
new strategies were planned to speed the rate at which new learners are able to enter the program
and begin instruction.
5. Internet Access
Coordinator Lynda Jones researched options for an Internet provider, and chose ElectriCiti. A
new 28,800 modem was installed by volunteer Randy Scott.
6.
The City’s new policy on covering volunteers with Workers Compensation requires that
volunteers sign an agreemendrelease form. The Adult Learning Program has now made this form
part of the Volunteer Application filled out by each new volunteer.
Workers ComDensation Coverage for Volunteers
7. Workstations
Planning continued with the City Facilities Manager for design and ordering of new office
workstations.
8. Parking
One of the tenants in the Colonial Professional Building, where the Adult Learning Program is
located, has again been spending much time and energy on his concerns about the parking
situation. His attitudes and actions have impacted the time and energy of other tenants and their
clients, including those of the Adult Learning Program.

Children’s Services
Monthly Statement
July 1996
In July, programming attendance and circulation reached new heights in the
Children Services Division. Over 1000 parents and children attended 19
programs. Nearly 23,000 items streamed out of the Children’s Library.
Program highlights for the month included a fishing trip, Teddy Bear Picnic,
Mountain Mushers, Backyard Bugs, Campfire night, So Cal Movie Party and the
Audubon Society Center program.
Helgren’s Sport Fishing Trip was a great incentive for 13 lucky teens who enjoyed
a free half day fishing trip. Rods, reels and bait were supplied by the
management. The long day began at 5:30 am. Seven boys and six girls enjoyed
themselves all morning catching fish and being out on the ocean.
The Let’s Make a Birdhouse program was a free activity presented to 50 children
by Doug Peterson of Home Depot. Children and their parents used nails, glue
and hammers to construct a traditional birdhouse. The Library received several
thank you notes from appreciative patrons.
The Wildlife Hike and the Audubon Society Tour were both educational and
enjoyable for both children and adults. These programs were well organized,
highly interesting and well attended.
The Campfire Night was an exciting program for the whole family. We roasted
hot dogs, ate s’mores and crafted bear claw necklaces. Cowboy Bob led us in a
sing-a-long of traditional camping songs. The program started at 6 pm and
ended about 8:30pm.
The So Cal Cinema Corporation was extremely generous this year. They provided
coupons for free popcorn, sodas and movies to SRP patrons. Over 1,300 passes
were handed out at our three locations. In addition, So Cal hosted a free Movie
Party featuring “Babe” for 180 appreciative fans. Chicks Sporting Goods and the
Friends of the Library supported the camping equipment giveaway at the movie
party. Over 26 items were raffled off at the movie theater.
At our Teddy Bear Picnic Browser the Bear led youngsters on a bear parade.
Patrons participated in a bear sing-a long, a bear of a parachute ride and
refreshments. Brower Bear was portrayed by Richard Engle and Dan Almos
throughout the summer.
The 3 locations had a combined participation of 1,427 this summer, up from 1,207
last year. Over 21 businesses contributed to Summer Reading Program this
year.

CHILDREN’S ACTMTIE8
Children’s book circulation increased 17% this month over July of 1995.
(10,599 children’s books and 9,742 adult books circulatedl) Much of this is due to a major increase in the number of Summer Reading Program
participants. This year by the end of July 576 children had registered.
This is in contrast with the total registration in 1995 of 417.
Six Summer Reading Activities took place in July. The indoor “campfire”
highlighted the month. In the early evening as the outdoor light dimmed,
children gathered in the Children’s room around a pretend ‘campfire”.
Cowboy songs and stories were performed by Bob and Debra Sasse, and
ghost stories were read and told by Pat Brunini, A similar program was
given for the preschoolers with %ot-so-scW stories. The program
blended perfectly with this year’s Camp Read S’more theme.

Technical Services Report
July 1996
In July, Technical Services staff added 1,203 new print items and 393 audiovisual items to
the library's collection. They deleted from the system 795 print items and 326 audiovisual
items. For the first time, our audiovisual cataloging including CD-RO-Vs, which will soon
be available for the public to check out.
Patrons used home computers to dial into the library catalos 304 times. Patrons with the
Mainstreet service accessed the catalos 66 times.
In July, four more staRwere trained to use the sofhvars being provided for the Linked
Systems Project, the state-fbnded grant that will provide access to the catalogs of four
public libraries in San Diego County, including Carlsbad. The software has been installed
on five staff computers and will be installed on the CD-ROhf workstations for the public
after the City's Information Systems department installs Windows 95 and appropriate
security software. At this point, only the catalogs of San Diego County Library, San
Diego Public Library, and Carlsbad City Library are available; Chula Vista Public Library
has had problems establishing a secure Internet connection and will probably make their
catalog available later.
There have been questions as to whether this project means that anyone with access to the
Internet will be able to access the Carlsbad Library catalog. The answer is No. Due to
security concerns and the expense of providing additional access, only terminals at the
other libraries involved in the project will be able to reach our catalog. Any patron with a
computer and modem, however, is still able to reach our catalog by dialing it directly.

SECTION 5.0 PURPOSE. This Ordinance is adopted for the
following purposes, and for the uses of the tax revenues specified
in Section 4.1, and directs that the provisions hereof be
interpreted in order to accomplish those purposes:
5.1 To impose a retail transactions and use tax
for countywide library programs, operations, and
facilities in accordance with the provisions of Part 1.6
(commencing with Section 7251) of Division 2 of the
Revenue and Taxation Code and Section 7285.5 of Part 1.7
of Division 2 which authorizes the Authority to adopt
this Ordinance which shall be operative if two-thirds of
the electors of the County of San Diego voting on the
measure vote to approve the imposition of the tax at the
November 5, 1996 election called for that purpose.
5.2 To adopt a retail transactions and use tax
Ordinance which incorporates provisions identical to
those of the Sales and Use Law of the State of
California, insofar as those provisions are not
inconsistent with the requirements and limitations
contained in Part 1.6 of Division 2 of the Revenue and
Taxation Code.
18
5.3 To adopt a retail transactions and use tax
Ordinance which imposes a tax and provides a measure
therefor that can be administered and collected by the
State Board of Equalization in a manner that adapts
itself as fully as practicable to, and requires the
least possible deviation from, the existing statutory
and administrative procedures followed by the State
Board of Equalization in administering and collecting
the California State Sales and Use Taxes.
5.4 To adopt a retail transactions and use tax
Ordinance which can be administered in a manner which
will be, to the greatest degree possible, consistent
with the provisions of Part 1.6 of Division 2 of the
Revenue and Taxation Code, to minimize the cost of
collecting the transactions and use taxes, and at the
same time, minimize the burden of record keeping upon
persons subject to taxation under the provisions of this
Ordinance.
SECTION 6.0 CONTRACT WITH STATE. Prior to the operative
date of this Ordi’nance, the Authority shall contract with the
State Board of Equalization to perform all functions incident to
the administration and operation of this transactions and use tax
Ordinance; provided, that if the Authority shall not have
contracted with the State Board of Equalization prior to the
operative date, it shall nevertheless so contract and in such a
case the operative date shall be the first day of the first
calendar quarter following the execution of such a contract.
SECTION 7.0 TRANSACTIONS TAX RATE. For the privilege of
selling tangible personal property at retail, a tax is hereby
imposed upon all retailers in the incorporated and unincorporated
territory of San Diego County at the rate of one-quarter of one
percent of the gross receipts of any retailer from the sale of all
tangible personal property sold at retail in said territory on and
after the operative date of this Ordinance.
SECTION 8.0 PLACE OF SALE. For the purposes of this
Ordinance, all retail sales are consummated at the place of
business of the retailer unless the tangible personal property

state destination or to a common carrier for delivery to an out-
of-state destination.
include delivery charges, when such charges are subject to the

state sales and use tax, regardless of the place to which delivery
is made. In the event a retailer has no permanent place of
business in the state or has more than one place of business, the
place or places at which the retail sales are consummated shall be
determined under rules and regulations to be prescribed and
adopted by the State Board of Equalization.
SECTION 9.0 USE TAX RATE. An excise tax is hereby imposed
on the storage, use or other consumption in San Diego County of
tangible personal property purchased from any retailer on and
after the operative date of this Ordinance for storage, use or
other consumption in said territory at the rate of one-quarter of
one percent of the sales price of the property. The sales price
shall include delivery charges when such charges are subject to
state sales or use tax regardless of the place to which delivery
is made.
SECTION 10.0 ADOPTION OF PROVISIONS OF STATE LAW. Except
as otherwise provided in this Ordinance and, except insofar as
they are inconsistent with the provisions of Part 1.6 of Division
2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, all of the provisions of Part
1 (commencing with Section 6001) of Division 2 of the Revenue and
Taxation Code are hereby adopted and made a part of this Ordinance

necessarily limited to sections referring to the
exterior boundaries of the State of California, where

storage, use or other consumption remain subject to
tax by the State under the provisions of Part 1 of
Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, or;
(b) Impose this tax with respect to certain sales,
storage, use or other consumption of tangible
personal property which would not be subject to tax
by the State under the said provision of that Code.

the last sentence thereof), 6711, 6715, 6737, 6797

Code, of any tax or any amount of tax required to be collected.
SECTION 16.0. MAINTENANCE OF EFFORT. It is the intent of
this Ordinance and the Authority that a maintenance of effort

transactions and use tax revenues provided from this measure be
used to supplement the base level of expenditures, as defined in
Section 16.2, for library operations and maintenance for each
library jurisdiction in the County for the uses set forth under
Section 4.2.1. The tax revenues shall not be used to supplant
this base level of expenditures for library operations and
maintenance as set forth herein.
25

defined in Section 16.2.
16.2 The base level of expenditures for each of
the seven City library jurisdictions and the County

average amount of expenditures for library operations
and maintenance in the 1993-94, 1994-95, and the 1995-96
fiscal years. For the County library jurisdiction, the
County library dedicated share of property tax revenues
shall be excluded from the calculation of the base level
of expenditures. The County library’s dedicated share
of property tax revenues, as required by the State, are
revenues that are restricted to library purposes only,
and may not be used for any other purpose.
16.3 No’twithstanding Section 16.2, the
maintenance of effort requirement for the City of San
Diego library jurisdiction shall be governed by the
maintenance of effort provisions set forth in the
Charter of the City of San Diego if its maintenance of
effort charter amendment is approved at the November 5,

use tax revenues shall be distributed to the City
library jurisdiction.

after the City library jurisdiction has certified to the
Authority that it has met its maintenance of effort in
the additional fiscal year.
This distribution shall be made
16.4.3 If the City library jurisdictions does not
meet its maintenance of effort requirement in the
additional fiscal year, the amount of the withheld
transactions and use tax revenues shall be redistributed
to the other seventeen Cities and the County on a pro
rata basis based upon the sales and use tax revenues
generated in the additional fiscal year in each of the
seventeen Cities and in the unincorporated area of the
County. This distribution shall be made in the fiscal
year following the additional fiscal year after the
Authority’s Auditor has certified that the City library
jurisdiction did not meet its maintenance of effort in
the additional fiscal year.
16.5 The following maintenance of effort rules
shall apply to the County library jurisdiction:
16.5.1 If the County library jurisdiction does
not meet its base level of expenditures required by its
maintenance of effort in any given fiscal year, the
County and the eleven Cities within the County library
jurisdiction shall have the amount of the shortfall
withheld from their distributions in the fiscal year
following the fiscal year of the shortfall. The amounts
withheld from the County and the eleven Cities within
the County library jurisdiction shall be on a pro rata.
27
basis based upon the sales and use tax revenues
generated in the fiscal year of the shortfall in each of
the eleven Cities and in the unincorporated area of the
County. The Authority shall set aside the amount
withheld from distribution in an account in the names of
the eleven Cities and the County, according to their
respective amounts. The County library jurisdiction
shall have one additional fiscal year (i.e., the fiscal
year immediately following the fiscal year of the
shortfall, hereinafter referred to as the "additional
fiscal year") in which to meet its maintenance of effort
requirement.
16.5.2 If the County library jurisdiction meets
its maintenance of effort requirement in the additional
fiscal year, the amount of the withheld transactions and
use tax revenues shall be distributed to the eleven
Cities and the County. This distribution shall be made
in the fiscal year following the additional fiscal year
after the County library jurisdiction has certified to
the Authority that it has met its maintenance of effort
in the additional fiscal year.
16.5.3 If the County library jurisdiction does not
meet its maintenance of effort requirement in the
additional fiscal year, the amount of the withheld
transactions and use tax revenues shall be redistributed
to the other seven City library jurisdictions on a pro
rata basis based upon the sales and use tax revenues
generated in the additional fiscal year in each of the
seven City library jurisdictions. This distribution
shall be made in the fiscal year following the
additional fiscal year after the Authority's Auditor has
certified that the County library jurisdiction did not
meet its maintenance of effort in the additional fiscal
year.
16.6 An annual independent audit may be
conducted to verify whether the library jurisdiction
complied with the maintenance of effort requirements.
SECTION 17.0 DURATION OF TRANSACTIONS AND USE TAX. The
imposition of the transactions and use tax shall terminate five
(5) years after April 1, 1997, or the operative date of this
Ordinance, whichever is later.
