27 UNION STREE'T, NORTH <br /> CONCORD. NORTH CAROLINA 28025 JAN 2 <br /> <br />OFFICEOFTHEDIR£CTOE <br /> <br /> Date: January 24, lggl <br /> Te: Diane SeafDrd, County Budget Officer <br /> From: Tam Dillard, Library Director <br /> Subject: Amendment of igg0-gl Library Budget to include <br /> LSCA revenue funds currently not budgeted <br /> <br /> This is to advise yDU that I have requested a pertiDn of the <br /> LSCA (Library Services and Construction Act) Federal grant for <br /> lggO-gl received by the City of CDncDrd be transferred to <br /> Cabarrus County for library related equipment purchases. LSCA <br /> guidelines are specific in hew grant funds may be appropriated <br /> and are, consequently, limited as to use. <br /> <br /> The amount that will be transferred is $ 4~&~5.00. Specific <br /> expenditures will be for a new generator far the Cabarrus County <br /> Bookmobile at an appreximate cost Df $ 5,200.00 and a facsimile <br /> machine fDr the Kannapolis Library at an approximate ~ost of <br /> $ 1~65.00. <br /> <br /> The present generat~r on the bDokmobile has exceeded its <br /> anticipated service life by several months and we are currently <br /> experiencing sporadic if minor prob]ems with it. With the <br /> approach of warmer weather, it is likely that the present unit <br /> will fail under the increased load demands created by the need <br /> far air 6onditioning. I am recommending that it be replaced as <br /> soon as possible and that we take advantage of the LSCA Grant to <br /> do so. <br /> <br /> The facsimile machine w~l] enhance significantly our ability <br /> to transfer information, especially patron specific reference <br /> information, between the two libraries. It will eliminate in <br /> need for redundant purchasing of reference <br /> some <br /> cases! <br /> a <br /> materials by both libraries, and it will also eliminate a wait by <br /> patrons of one to two days before reference information can be <br /> moved between the two libraries. In examining the current <br /> Library budget~ adequate funds are available to cover the <br /> ~nstallation and funding Df the line for this machine through the <br /> remainder of the fiscal year. <br /> <br /> LSCA funds which are nDt spent in the fiscal year granted <br /> must be returned to the U.S. Government. Should the cost of <br /> these items be less than anticipated, ! will request that any <br /> <br /> <br />
