TO: Board of Supervisors
SUBMITTED BY: Kelley Worman-Landano, Interim County Librarian
SUBJECT: Amendment to Master Schedule of Fees - Library
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Conduct first hearing to amend the County of Fresno Master Schedule of Fees, Charges, and Recovered Costs Ordinance by amending Section 1100 - Library; waive the reading of the Ordinance in its entirety, and set the second hearing for June 20, 2017;
2. Designate County Counsel to prepare a fair and adequate summary of the proposed ordinance; and
3. Direct the Clerk to the Board to post and publish the required summary in accordance with Government Code Section 25124(b)(1).
REPORT
There is no Net County Cost associated with the recommended actions. Approval of the recommended actions will revise existing fees in the Master Schedule of Fees, Charges, and Recovered Costs (MSF) (Section 1100) based on actual Library costs. Such fees are used for reimbursement of costs related to materials and services provided to the public.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION(S):
Your Board may direct staff to use current fees or propose alternative fees which may not recover 100% of Library costs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no increase in Net County Cost with the recommended actions. It is anticipated that with the establishment of these fees, the Library will ensure 100% cost recovery for salaries, benefits, direct and indirect costs.
