GOVERNOR SIGNS BUDGET-GREAT DAY FOR LIBRARIES! $7 MILLION FOR PLF AND $7 MILLION FOR TBR INCLUDED IN AB 1801 At 11:30 a.m. today, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger held a press conference to announce he was signing the $131 billion 2006-07 State Budget in the Rotunda of the State Capitol, while flanked by the legislative leaders in each house and the two Budget Chairs. The Governor, wielding his pen, signed the Budget bill, AB 1801, at 11:50 a.m., and then posed for photos with Assembly Speaker Nunez and Senate President pro Tem Perata. Speaker Nunez called the Budget one that "reflects a shared vision for California -one that can be fiscally conservative, and compassionate."Assembly Republican ' eader George Plescia praised the efforts of his colleagues, noting that in terms of his caucus' goals, "paying down debt )s our number one priority." -Tn a document released shortly before noon that accompanies the Governor's action on the State Budget, it states: "The 2006 Budget Act signed by Governor Schwarzenegger fulfills the two principal budget priorities he put forth in his May Revision - improving the State's fiscal health by; 1) paying down debt and building a reserve; and 2) fully funding education while also providing critical funding for law enforcement, disaster preparation and services for abused and neglected children." Thanks to the successful lobbying efforts by CLA, the strong support of the Governor and his Administration, and the action of the Senate Budget Subcommittee on Education Finance and the Assembly Budget Subcommittee on Education Finance, today's Budget bill contains a significant increase in two important library programs -the Public Library Foundation and the Transaction Based Reimbursement. The Governor's Budget document released today states: California State Library "The Budget provides a $7 million General Fund increase to the Public Library Foundation (PLF) program and an additional $7 million General Fund increase to the transaction-based Interlibrary Loan and Direct Loan Program. The augmentation to the PLF will enhance base support for local libraries, allowing for longer hours of operation, the purchase of more books or expenditures for other local priorities. The increase to the Interlibrary and Direct Loan programs will allow local libraries to recoup costs incurred when libraries share resources with other library districts, thereby encouraging efficient resource allocation." This important action by the Governor and the legislature brings the total baseline for the PLF to approximately$21.3 million and the total baseline for the TBR to approximately$18.6 million. Il. SCHOOL LIBRARIES BIG WINNERS AS WELL _ .ie Budget also provides for funding for an Instructional Materials, School Libraries, and Education Technology Grant under the K-12-Proposition 98 portion of the Budget. $100 million is set-aside for this purpose and the Budget document reads as follows regarding this item: 1 Instructional Materials, School Libraries, and Education Technology Grants "The Budget includes $100 million in one-time Proposition 98 funds for the purchase of instructional materials, school and classroom library materials and one-time technology costs. High-quality instructional materials for every student are a _ fundamental building block of a strong educational program and are required under the Williams settlement. These resources will help schools fill gaps in their instructional material programs and replace lost textbooks. Further, school libraries play a vital role in promoting academic achievement and providing instructional support. The resources provided in the Budget will help to replenish and refresh both school and classroom library materials. In addition to the purchase of books and materials, these funds are available for the purchase of one-time education technology which provides schools with many options for enhancing instruction through the use of electronic multimedia materials. Grants will be allocated to school districts and county offices of education on an equal amount per pupil based on the number of pupils in kindergarten through grade 12." III. SENATE COMMITTEE PASSES CABLE BILL- DEFERS ISSUE PERTAINING TO THE "PEG"AND LIBRARIES Despite the fact that the Senate and Assembly were scheduled to depart for their month-long recesses after the conclusion of yesterday's Floor sessions, the Senate Energy, Utilities, and Communications Committee held another hearing yesterday afternoon, to finish the work they began on AB 2987-Nunez, on Tuesday. You will recall from our memo to you earlier this week, that on Tuesday the Senate Committee held a three hour hearing on the very controversial measure, that is sponsored by AT&T and Verizon, which would enable the two telephone companies to enter into the local market without having to negotiate with cities and counties, as is currently allowed with traditional cable companies. Under the bill, the Public Utilities Commission would issue the new franchises and oversee the new process. The hearing on Thursday afternoon lasted three hours -again! This time, the Chair, Senator Martha Escutia, noted that the rules of the hearing would change significantly. She stated, On Tuesday, we had 100 supporters and 100 opponents. I know who the stakeholders are, and I want only a few stakeholders for each today." She then asked only the representatives for Verizon, AT&T, the cable industry, the League of Cities, and CSAC to come to the table. Speaker Nunez then thanked the committee members and staff for all of the hard work and time that has gone in to the bill. There have been very legitimate concerns raised by the stakeholders." Speaker Nunez, flanked by Assemblyman Lloyd Levine (a co-author on the bill and Chair of the Assembly Utilities and Commerce Committee) then went issue by issue through the bill and attempted to take amendments that would satisfy the concerns of the committee members and the opponents. The bill became particularly complicated when it got to the issues of"build-out" and "non-discrimination" and how much AT&T and Verizon will have to commit to building in areas dominated by minority communities, etc. Similarly, the issues regarding the public, education, and government (PEG) channels and funding for Institutional networks, and such things as free drops to schools, public buildings and libraries, have become increasingly complex. The issues have been all lumped together by the committee as the"PEG debate." When we spoke to the Speaker's lead consultant on the PEG issue on Thursday, he said that the Speaker wasn't prepared to offer amendments in committee because of the complexity of the issue, and that it was "too hard to cut the pie here. He said he believed the committee would defer the issue and attempt to work on it during the July break and tackle it again when the Senate Appropriations Committee meets in August. Chair Escutia stated, "I had no idea what a PEG channel was before the hearing the other day and now we need to try to define how to keep the cities whole, how many channels, etc." Speaker Nunez stated, "I agree, this is a complicated matter. There are differing levels of PEG channels. Some communities are more sophisticated than others. Let's try to find a framework to develop an over-arching service that has a common thread." He then proposed working through the summer break with Senator Murray and Simitian on a solution. Said Senator Simitian, "I thank the Speaker. I represent an area where PEG is very important...I am not wild about abrogation. I wasn't in the room when that came up. But I think it is not appropriate for[the cable companies] to walk away from PEG when it is nickels and dimes in terms of a multi-million dollar contract obligation." Senator Cox said, "I would like to thank the Speaker for recognizing the importance of the PEG. Some communities are very far along in terms of the INet." It was then agreed that Senator Simitian and Senator Murray would head up the group that would lead the discussion on the PEG amendments during July, and would bring back something definitive for the Speaker to consider at the Senate Appropriations hearing in August. The job of local government advocates has become much more difficult now that the cable companies, who were strongly against the bill, have negotiated amendments to serve their needs, and are now siding with AT&T and Verizon. Incidentally, the bill went out of committee on a bi-partisan vote yesterday of 9 "ayes" to 0 "noes."We will keep you posted. -----------------------------------------------------------------ca I ix-+ 2 Law office of ALBERT K.

We will do some publicity on the opening in the coming weeks. The main library sign has been updated. But the small book sign, and library inserts still need to be updated. We are very pleased to offer later hours on Friday for our busy public. Summer Reading Clubs a Roaring Success! Sue Reiterman reports that the 3 children's summer reading clubs are the biggest ever, with nearly 1,OOQ children enrolled at this writing. Sue and her children's staff visited 87 classrooms in person, reaching some 2,104 children in May and June. The personal touch has paid off with new library cards for many children, and a visit to the library. The Family Fun Nights are sell outs each time. We can accommodate about 120 people. The events are ticketed at no charge to help with crowd control. The Family Fun Nights have been underwritten by the Burlingame Library Foundation, and a generous donation from staff artist Maryam Refahi. Schools visited included: South Hillsborough, North Hillsborough, West , Hillsborough, Washington, Franklin, Lincoln, .Roosevelt, McKinley, and Our Lady of Angels. One was an all-school assembly, but the most successful contacts were the classroom visits. Trustees Receive $ 20,000 Gift The Trustees received a bequest from the O.E.E. Anderson Trust on June ` 29, 2006. We had known about this bequest for about 18 months, but there were some legal hurdles for the estate. Mr. Anderson was a San Mateo resident and apparently used Burlingame Public Library and certainly appreciated it! The funds have been deposited into the Trustees Special Fund and are undesignated. 1 480 Primrose Road•Burlingame•California 94010-4083 " Phone(650) 558-7474-Fax(650)342-6295-www.burlingame.org/library San Mateo Public Library Closed 7 Weeks The San Mateo Main Library will be closed from July 7th through August 26th, reopening, Sunday, August 27th. We have made contractual arrangements with the City of San Mateo to have their staff fill in on our service desks and behind the scenes. We expect with the main library closed such a long time, Brlingame and Foster City will bear the most increase in library usage. San Mateo has been very cooperative in this effort. Governor's Budget is a Great Day for Libraries! Governor Schwarzenegger signed the state budget, adding about 30% support for local libraries. The Public Library Fund, which is based on population served will increase Burlingame's-share from $ 13,000 to approximately $ 17,000. The Transaction Based Reimbursements for serving non-residents will go from $ 160,000 to approximately, $ 205,000. Just to keep this great gift in perspective, the Public Library Services Act has never been fully funded. These increases bring us back up to where we were 3 years ago. Foundation Strategic Plan By the time you read this report, the Stephen-Hamilton, President of the Foundation Board will have hosted the Foundation Strategic Plan Soiree, Friday, July 14, from 5 PM- 7 PM. The evening was an opportunity to gather Foundation Board members, Foundation Advisory Board members and Library Trustees to announce the formal plan. The plan is . an ambitious one to help guarantee support of library programs and collections on an on-going basis. I am thrilled with the Foundation's enthusiasm for future fundraising! Personnel Matters Recruitment to replace the vacant librarian position will close Friday, July 14th. Interviews will be held on Wednesday, July 19th. We expect to have someone on board by the end of August. The Kite Runner: One Book/One Community_ At least 70 copies of the Kite Runner book have flown off the library shelves! We have seen great interest in the book and the Afghan culture. Libraries will be sponsoring a number of programs in October before Dr. Hosseini speaks about his book. Burlingame will feature Stephen Olsson (Kris Cannon's brother!) who is an Emmy award winning film maker. He will be showing his "Last Images of War" and offering a question and answer session in the Lane Room on October 11, 2006. 2 Upcoming Events: • "Novelist"Training for all staff, Tuesday, July 11, 1 PM • Library Foundation Soiree, Friday, July 14, 5 PM-7 PM �, • Library Board Meeting, July 18, 5:30 PM • Library Board Meeting, August 1-5, 5:30 PM • San Mateo Main Library Opens, Sunday, August 27 • Labor Day Holiday, Septe}nber 3 8v 4, Closed x Alfred H. Escoffier City Librarian July 5, 2006 Item IXA Memorial Designation for Bequest of Mr. O.E.E. Anderson Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board authorize a memorial leaf in honor of the late Mr. Otto Evart Edward Anderson of San Mateo in gratitude for this bequest of$ 20,000.00 to the Burlingame Public Library Board of Trustees Special Fund. Background: Mr. O.E.E. Anderson passed away at 86 years old, on January 12, 2004, at his Isabelle Avenue home in San Mateo where he had lived with his wife the late Patricia Ann Anderson (Tobin) for 50 years. Born in San Francisco in 1917, he was a graduate of the first Graduating Class of the University of California, Berkeley, School of Optometry in 1939. Mr. Anderson traced his ancestry back to early California through his maternal grandmother, Maria Ramona Briones. Her ancestor was Marcus Briones, a member of one of the two deans Expeditions, of 1775- 1776. The deAnza Expeditions were carried out under the leadership of Juan Bautista deAnza during the Spanish Colonial period to bring settlers from Sonora, in the northern part of what is now Arizona, to the San Francisco Bay. Mr. Anderson's father was Otto Evart Anderson, a successful San Francisco contractor who built more than 60 flats and `- homes in San Francisco's Richmond and Sunset districts. Mr. Anderson cataloged and photographed 60 extant structures for the California Historical Society before his death. Although he was an optometrist by profession, he left his practice to serve in World War II, from 1942-1946. After the war, he was an engineer for United Airlines from 1952-1981. He was a member of the International Association of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and a member of Los Californianos, a group dedicated to preserving the heritage of early Hispanic Californians in Alta California. Until shortly before his death, Mr. Anderson donated his time and energy to doing eye exams and prescribing glasses for needy seniors.
