Mr. Steve Bocian March 29, 1989 Page 2 COMMUNICATIONS COSTS ]989/90: $5,167 The total estimated'annual communications costs have been apportioned to the City and to the County as follows. The City share is computed as 35.5% of estimated costs based on the percentage of hours funded by the City (22 out of the total 62 hours per week). JANITORIAL & UTILITIES COSTS 1989/90: ($19,590) + ($48,020) = ($67,610) The amount shown is a credit to the City for the County's 64.5% of estimated annual costs {40 of the total 62 hours per week). This represents that portion of the costs that would have been borne by the County had the City not paid for these costs directly. Reimbursement for janitorial services is based on an estimated janitorial contract providing a level of service allowed by .the County's bid process. The amount of $19,590 is 64.5% of estimated annual costs of $30,364. The utilities costs are based {as they were in lg88/Bg} on an estimate obtained from the architects. Because we have not seen any actual billings, we could not base the estimates on real costs. The amount of $48,020 is 64.5% of estimated annual costs of $74,431. The Library Commission also considered'other options that might be included in the contract for additional library services. These options had been discussed with the County Counsel in previous years, but any serious consideration of implementation was delayed until after the new Library opened. The Commission recommends the City Council consider the following augmentation to library services provided by the County: * More Money for Books and Other Library Materials The Library's primary mission is to provide books and other library materials to people of all ages. The County Library will spend approximately $135,000 for books and other library materials for the Pleasanton Library. The City could augment this amount at whatever level they choose. Recommendation might be $60,000 to be spent half for children's materials and half for adult materials. Any amount could be considered. * Money for Special Library Programs Currently the Library provides a variety of special programs for children and others. Performers are paid by the Pleasanton Library League or by the Library. A special fund of $5,000 would greatly expand the number and the variety of programs we could offer and would be a special way to introduce the new Library to the community during our first year.
