COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing Library Director to Accept Bequest Funding ($98,299.05)
from Daisy Scaletta and Appropriating Funds ($98,299.05)
MEETING DATE: June 7, 2023
PREPARED BY: Library Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution accepting bequest funding, in the amount of $98,299.05,
from Daisy Scaletta and appropriating funds in the amount of $98,299.05.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 2022, the library submitted a request to use one-time funding for capital
improvements, including self -check out automation: 2 Bibliotheca self -
check 1000 kiosks, 1 selfCheck 1000 desktop including 2 -5 -year
service and maintenance agreement totaling $55,711.45. This request was approved using the library fund
balance. The acquisition of the equipment is still pending due to delays in parts for the particular equipment
with the vendor.
The library budget request has been reduced by $100,000 for FY 24 and it is not prudent to make the purchase
using the fund balance. The Director would like to use the bequest from Daisy Scaletta for $98,299.05 for the
purchase of self -check kiosks accounting for inflation or potentially switching vendors.
Staff recommends that Council authorize the Library Director to receive the bequest and recognize revenue in
account code 12000000.57702 (donations) and authorize expenditure appropriation in account code
12090000.77030 (machinery and equipment).
FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact to Library operations budget or depletion of fund balance.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: $98,299.05 bequest from private donor, Daisy Scaletta
