Temporary Quarters Update - Librarian Escoffier:
Librarian Escoffier discussed the options for temporary quarters during
construction. Central leased sites in the downtown area are generally not large
enough to house the collection and would require a second site. This would drive
up the lease costs as well as the labor costs of servicing the collection on two sites.
He said that modular structures are a good option if they can be set-up on one site
(20,000 square foot structure), at a reasonable cost. The turn-key library that is
manufactured by "Porta-Structure" is too small and expensive and would require a
secondary site for storage of the collection. A "tent" or fabric structure can be
elaborate like the UCLA Towell Library or more modest. The issues of building
security, humidity and temperature control, and seismic bracing are significant
challenges with a fabric structure. The options will be reviewed by the project
architect in the coming months.
Unfinished Business:
None
New Business•
a. Librarian Escoffier said the date for the Task Force to meet with Jim Bower
to begin formation of the Library Foundation will be on May 5th.
b. On Legislative Day there will be no bus to Sacramento so the Board

Friends Book Sale the Best Ever!
The Friends of the Library came through with the best book sale ever! Over
$ 5,100.00 was raised at the 3 day sale. Thanks to the hard work of dozens of
volunteers, the group did a terrific job! What a great way to end National Library
Week, 1994!
The Friends Annual Meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 12, 7:30 pm. In
addition to election of officers, a brief presentation on the library building project will
be given by Al Escoffier.
Architect Selection Update
Bull, Stockwell, Allen and Ripley and Group 4/Architecture were selected as the
two finalist architectural firms for the library building project. Both firms will make
formal presentations to the City Council at a study session on Wednesday, May 18,
7:30 pm.
Duncan Trust

Easton Branch Re-Carpeting
The re-carpeting of the Branch is scheduled for the week of May 16th. The
branch will be closed for a week, reopening May 23rd.
Library Budget
The Library Budget was approved by the City Manager. The next steps in the
budget process include: Council review, Council Study Session, June 8th; and a
Public Hearing on June 20th and final approval.
Temporary Quarters
Six options have been submitted to the City Manager for review. (Reviewed at
last Board meeting.) We will return to the development of a viable plan for temporary
quarters, following architect selection.
Dynix System Update
Data Com has been selected as the vendor to install the cable plant systems in
the 33 sites in San Mateo County libraries and branches. Installation will begin as
early as May, with some test sites. The Easton Branch has been targeted as a test
site, along with Half Moon Bay, to test telecommunications nodes and equipment.
Reference Division
Sandy Gleichmann and Dan Alvarez attended a workshop "On Celebrating
Diversity" on April 12. The objective of the workshop was to train staff on
understanding and respecting cultural diversity.
Reference continues to explore new staffing arrangements for the Reference
Desk and the Reference telephones. The mid-afternoons and evenings have been
extremely busy during May. We are considering double staffing a 1/2 hour earlier in
the day. In addition, we are looking at options to have the reference phones
answered electronically, when staff are unable to answer the two lines.

CORRESPONDENCE "A"
r BURLINGAME
April 8, 1994
TO: Dennis Argyres, City Manag
FROM: Al Escoffier, City LibrarianE�
RE: Budget Message, FY 1994-1995
Attached is the recommended library budget for fiscal year 1994-1995. The total
budget reflects an increase of 4.9 %, or $ 93,397.
Major Objectives: 1994-95
Planning for the library renovation is a MAJOR PROJECT! The planning
currently involves a great deal of time in meetings with staff, as well as design
professionals and vendors, to develop maximum functionality in the interim
environment, as well as the new building.
A. Building Planning
The Design Development phase and the construction documentation phase
include heavy staff and administrative involvement. It is essential that changes and
revisions in the design take place early, as later changes will be difficult and/or
expensive. There is, and will continue to be, a good deal of staff, management, and
Board participation.
B. Temporary Quarters
The design of a functional Temporary Quarters is much like designing and
organizing a brand new library---only for the short term! Major tasks include:
analyzing potential sites, looking at portable structure alternatives, pricing alternatives,
reviewing modular structures in use, looking at leasing options, developing a viable
list of alternatives for Council consideration. When the ultimate alternative is chosen;
implementation will be a major task including: reallocation of staff, space planning for
the new facility and move planning.
C. Dynix Conversion
The conversion to the Dynix automated system comes at a particularly busy
time. In normal times, this would be a big project. With the added building
responsibilities, several library managers will be handling major conversion project
components, as well as training. A team approach is being used for implementation
both at the system level and locally. However, the time needed for the planning,
installation and training, will pull library managers away from their regular duties.

480 Primrose Road 9 Burlingame, CA 94010-4083 • (415) 342-1038 0 Fax (415) 342-1948
Budget Breakdown: Personnel
The increase in personnel is $ 64,413 an increase of 4.7 %.
This figure includes a potential 3% salary adjustment for all employees, plus
another 1% or so, for anticipated merit raises. The major increase in personnel is
additional hours for part-time "on call' staff to backfill for permanent staff who are
working on the conversion to the Dynix system, building planning, and planning for
temporary quarters.
I have proposed one reclassification from Librarian I to Librarian II for added
responsibilities. A justification for this position reclassification is attached.
Adjustments continue to be made to better utilize staff. The readjustment allocates .25
FTE to pages from Librarian hours; The total FTE remains the same.
Special Projects
To fulfill the obligations of our three major projects, I have reallocated some
personnel resources. Staff is already feeling the pressure of the added workload, and
the reality is that it will only increase as the building project moves forward. Job
descriptions have been streamlined and some public service programs will be
- dropped.
Assuming we are able to hire a consultant to plan and implement the myriad
of details of the temporary quarters project, and that we are able to hire a construction
manager for the duration of the library construction phase, we can likely hold library
operating costs to the levels shown.
Temporary Quarters Personnel Costs
If we do not hire a consultant to assist with temporary quarters, the staff time
involved, mainly the Reference supervisor and myself, will spiral upward and we will
need additional money to backfill, so that other staff can run the day to day library
operation. According to vendor estimates, the typical need for local staff time to
assemble the temporary quarters package is conservatively one half- time position for
at least 6 months, to coordinate the implementation.
Construction Manager Personnel Costs
A construction manager would likely begin work part time sometime this year
and then add more hours of consulting time as the project moves forward. According
to Ralph, one approach would be that a Construction Manager review plans during
the design phases to assure "build ability." Then, the bulk of construction
-2-
management duties would be accomplished during the 1995/96 and 1996/97 budget
cycles. The estimates from other library directors is that at least 1/2 of their
time is spent on the building construction project, and the time increases as the project
moves into construction. The hiring of a Construction Manager would help ease the
burden on staff and assure that the building project receives the day to day oversight it
requires to make it successful.
Operating Budget
The Operating Budget reflects an increase of 5.6 % or $ 28,984.
The regular operating budget increased $ 7,056 or 1 .4%. The capital outlay
portion of the budget increased 54% to $ 40,428. This reflects the first of three
payments for the Dynix automated system. The Dynix system expense includes the
central and local portion of hardware and software costs to operate the automated
system (circulation, bibliographic functions, and the online public catalog.)
Subsequent annual payments should reflect a savings over the present system,
particularly in maintenance and system overhead. Dynix maintenance costs are
considerably cheaper than Geac, and the reduction in overhead, with the relocation of
the central site to the Community College District Computer Center, will ultimately
save costs for the network.
Because of the heavy demands on staff in all areas, and the other large
expenses this year, I am not recommending that the book and audiovisual budgets be
increased this year. This will be a loss in buying power of approximately 2%.
Line Item Highlights
Binding/Electronics (123) has increased 3% due to a shift in how
information is stored. We are gradually seeing a reduction in microform. I anticipate a
gradual phase out of microform storage for all but archival use such as older
newspapers. Microform will begin to be replaced by full text document delivery
beginning as early as next year.
Cataloging (124) A 10% increase is anticipated from OCLC, the vendor who
supplies the bibliographic database for cataloging books and other materials.
Communications (160) A modest increase in telephone services for the
addition of a data line for access to the Internet.
Utilities (170) A projected increase of 2% is recommended. There has been
no increase in our budget for utilities for the last two years.
-3-
Equipment Maintenance (200) A projected 15% increase in computer
maintenance has occurred for two reasons: our older computers are breaking down
more frequently and PLAN no longer covers repairs of computers on the automated
network. We also have increased the number of computers we use to access
databases and the automated network. We will be replacing some hardware with the
implementation of Dynix which should help hold the line on maintenance.
Professional and Specialized Services (210) The Peninsula Library
System Council approved a 10% increase in costs to run the system. This is the first
increase since 1990.
Insurance Costs (701) The insurance cost allocation is a divided cost over
city departments which has increased this year.
Capital Outlay (800) The capital costs include the first of three payments on
the Dynix Automated System. Costs include system hardware and software, staffing,
overhead, etc. First year costs also include site specific costs for Main and Easton,
including hardware, modems, routers, terminals, etc.

Dear Dear Ms. Robertson, Ms. Cannon and Mr. Escoffier:
Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to
visit my office this morning and educate me regarding the major
issues and concerns of the California Library Association and our
San Mateo Community Librarians.
I only regret that the vicissitudes of life in the
Capitol, which includes committee hearings, both morning and
afternoon, and the personal advisability of listening to my
sister's birthday vibrations, precluded more leisurely
conversations.
In any event, you may be assured of my support of the
positions advocated in the handsome folder of fact sheets and
summaries which you presented me.
Thank you also for the spectacular T-shirt. I appreciate
very much the kind thoughts reflected by your generosity and you
may be assured that I shall continue to try to provide the very
highest standard of leadership and representation to the people I
have the honor to serve.
Sin rely yours,

RE: State and Fed6ral Financing Options for Library Construction
I have been in contact with Richard Hall at the State Library. Richard
coordinates the Proposition 85 Bond Act Library Construction for libraries in the state.
The outlook is not very hopeful right now for state or federal funding. Here is a
summary.
1) LSCA Title II Funds (Federal). This is Federal money which could be used for
library construction. Preliminary applications are due January 1995 for the next
funding cycle. Although we might qualify, there is only about $ 2 million dollars
available nationwide.
2) Proposition 85 Bond Act Funds (State). There is currently no state money
left from the Proposition 85 Bond Act. The only way money might be freed up would
be if a jurisdiction who received funding decided not to build. Hemet is an example of
a jurisdiction that did not build and $ 7 million was returned to the State. The money
was then allocated to other projects which had already applied for funds under
Proposition 85. (We were not far enough along in our process several years ago to
apply for Proposition 85 Funds.) If more money is returned, and if the queue of
projects does not meet the guidelines, it might be possible to apply, but this is a
Iongshot. The State Library will keep us informed.
3) Bond Acts: AB61 and SB174. The most promising source, according the the
State Library are two pending bond acts, which should they be approved, might offer
us an opportunity to apply for funds before our construction.
AB61- Library Construction Bond Act for $100M has passed the full Assembly
and is now in the Senate Education Committee. Gary Hart is the Committee Chair.
This will likely be on the November ballot.
S13174- Library Construction Bonds, $ 150M, sponsored by Marks. This could
be on the June or November ballot.

"This is a tremendous opportunity for public/private collaboration that will
allow California public libraries to become full participants in the National
Information Infrastructure," said California State Librarian Gary Strong. "I
commend Pacific Bell for its efforts, and encourage other businesses to join in
the initiative to ensure that everyone, everywhere can access the
communications superhighway through their local public library."
Strong said Pacific Bell's initiative will enhance the state library's own
community Internet access program, a grant program for placing nearly 200
public access workstations in California libraries.
Pending approval from the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC),
Pacific Bell will wire targeted locations within each institution for the video and
data applications, install service for free, and waive usage charges for one year
after installation. Pacific Bell also will work with the CPUC to develop a special
educational access rate that will help ensure universal telecommunications
service for libraries and schools statewide.
In addition to basic data and video connectivity, Pacific Bell also will give
public schools and libraries access to video-on-demand and other forms of
interactive multimedia -- the high-speed lanes of the communications
superhighway-- as the company deploys its interactive broadband network
across its territory in California.
Specifics of Pacific Bell's education initiative include:
• Switched digital service, allowing telecomputing and interactive telelearning
capability, will be made available to all public libraries, K - 12 schools, and
community colleges in Pacific Bell's service territory by the end of 1996.
Subject to regulatory approval, each institution can get free installation of
four 1SDN lines for these applications, and Pacific Bell will waive the usage
charges for the first year after installation.
• The company will work with the California Public Utilities Commission to
develop an educational access rate that will ensure affordable
telecommunications connectivity for all schools and libraries in the state.
• Subject to regulatory approval, Pacific Bell will connect public schools and
libraries to its broadband network as it is deployed, allowing these institutions
access to video-on-demand and other forms of interactive multimedia.
• Pacific Bell will provide intra-building wiring at up to two sites at each public
library and school -- a library media center, classroom or computer lab for
telecomputing, and a location for interactive telelearning. The company also
will contribute $5 million in "seed money" to organize and support a drive to
raise the funds needed to wire the remainder of classrooms in the state for
full broadband capability.
• Pacific Bell President Phil Quigley will spearhead a public/private consortium
to ensure that every California library and classroom is wired and equipped
for full access to the communications superhighway by the year 2000. As
part of this effort, Compression Labs, Inc. has agreed to work with Pacific
Bell on a program to provide the group videoconferencing systems for the
schools.
• Pacific Bell will expand its partnership with the Detwiler Foundation and the
California Community Colleges for placing donated computers in the schools.
• The company will field dedicated resource teams which will work directly with
libraries and schools to help librarians and teachers fully utilize the new
telecommunications equipment and resources at their disposal. At the same
time, the company will collaborate with universities and colleges to help
increase the emphasis given to educational technology issues in the library
sciences and teaching curricula.
Pacific Bell has set up a special hotline -- 1-800-901-2210 -- to answer
questions from libraries, schools, and community colleges, and to handle
inquiries from businesses interested in participating in the technology initiative.
Pacific Bell is a subsidiary of the Pacific Telesis Group, a worldwide
diversified communications corporation based in San Francisco.
