SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
On November 8th, 2022, Measure O was passed by Mendocino County voters which calls for a special library tax fund to be created. Monies deposited into the fund, along with interest, are to be used for maintaining, improving, and extending branch library services to residents of the County. At least 40% of the funds are to be reserved for capital investments for Library facilities, and the new fund 1303 will specifically be marked for this and which will include Capital projects, equipment purchases, and upgrades for the Library system. Proceeds from the tax will be allocated by the Board of Supervisors taking into consideration the recommendations of the Library Advisory Board.
Retroactive approval is requested to create this new fund in response to the Measure O requirements. The Auditor's Office will deposit the tax revenue according to Measure O split: 60% into budget unit 6110 for operating expenses, and 40% into budget unit 1715 for capital investments. Capital investment expenses will be reviewed and signed off on by the facilities manager and library administrator.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Provide alternate direction to staff.
