LIBRARIAN'S REPORT:
Discussion was held regarding the Librarian's report on budget cutbacks, the Hillsborough
Contract, and proposed policy changes. Action on these items to be taken during this
meeting's business.
CORRESPONDENCE:
Chairman Hechinger read a letter received from Mrs. R. F. Dunbar, 712 Crossway, Burlingame.
Mrs. Dunbar expressed her views and concerns regarding the library's cutback in funds
resulting from the passage of Proposition 13.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
Budget Cutbacks: The Librarian reported on the activities of the City Council to date, and
no final decisions have been made as to how much each department's budget will be cut back.
She stated that the City Council asked for a prioritized list of cutbacks with figures on
the amount saved with each cutback. She then reviewed and discussed each item on the list
with the Board. Trustee DeMartini suggested that it might be necessary to close more hours
to continue to provide as many of the basic library services as possible when the library
was open.
City Council also asked the Librarian to prepare figures on the cost to close the Branch
Library and what Branch cutbacks were included in the 25% priority list already presented.
The Librarian reviewed these figures with the Board along with a list of considerations
regarding the closing of the Easton Branch Library.
The Board was in agreement regarding the Librarian's recommendation to close the Main
Library on Sundays in view of budget cutbacks.
The Board gave Librarian Bergsing full support in her effort to delay closing of Easton
Branch Library until more information was available regarding City revenues.
The Board commended the City Librarian and her staff for the effort and thought in
developing the prioritized list of cutbacks in such a short period of time.
User Survey Form: . Copies of the final drafts of the user survey forms for the Main
analc 3ranc i raries were distributed and discussed. The survey forms were approved
by the Board and the forms will be duplicated and distributed to library patrons as
soon as possible.
NEW BUSINESS:
Policy Decisions:
Hillsborough Non-Resident Fee: Discussion was held on setting a fee for Hillsborough
non-resident cards. The Librarian was asked if the San Mateo Public Library had set
their fee. The Librarian reported that San Mateo City Council has set their non-
resident fee at $75.00. After further discussion, Trustee Lynes entertained a motion
that the library establish the non-resident fee at $75.00 and that there will be no
student cards, no courtesy cards, and no cards for Hillsborough residents owning
Burlingame property. The motion was seconded by Trustee Phelan and unanimously carried.
The $75.00 fee will become effective on July 1, 1978.
Raise Reserve and Interlibrary Loan Fees to 25¢ each: Discussion was held on the
Librarian's recommendation to raise reserve and interlibrary loan fees. On a motion
by Trustee DeMartini, seconded by Trustee Phelan, the reserve and interlibrary loan
fees were raised to 25Q effective July 1, 1978. Motion carried.
Charges for Use of Meeting Room: The Librarian discussed the recommendation of charging
a fee for the use of the meeting rooms. The Librarian reported that the Recreation
Department currently charges for the use of their facilities and would like to coordinate
our fees with that of the Recreation Department. On a motion by Trustee DeMartini,
seconded by Trustee Phelan, charges for use of library meeting room facilities will
become effective July 1, 1978; charges will be consistant with fees charged by the
Recreation Department; and will be reviewed by the Board at their July meeting.
Motion carried.
Eliminate Telephone Renewals: On a motion by Trustee DeMartini, telephone renewal
service will be eliminated as of July 1, 1978. Motion was seconded by Trustee Phelan
and carried.

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
July 18, 1978
1978 - 1979 BUDGET
The City Council met on Wednesday,July 12th, to continue discussion of the 1978-79 budget.
In general , it appears that the City is moving toward a 10% or $1,000,000.00 reduction
in personnel by July 1979 primarily through attrition. I am enclosing the Finance Direc-
tor's latest information and suggestions regarding budget strategy, and the preliminary
Council reductions to date. The Council has set another budget session for Saturday
morning, July 15th,at 10:00 AM to discuss additional long-range options. I understand
that one of the items on the agenda will be the closing of the Branch Library. I ' ll
report the outcome to you at your Board Meeting.
HILLSBOROUGH CONTRACT
Enclosed is a copy of the letter from Bob Davidson, Hillsborough City Manager,to Mr.
Schwalm and Mr. Schwalm's request to the Burlingame City Council to continue the Hillsborough
contract on a month-to-month basis. This is the status to date, except that Burlingame is
receiving two-thirds of the payment and San Mateo is getting one-third. Last year the
split was 60% to 40%.
CHARGES FOR USE OF THE LIBRARY MEETING ROOMS
Attached is a copy of the facility usage and the new application blank for the library
meeting rooms. I would appreciate any suggestions, corrections, comments, etc. We would
like to notify the public immediately after the Board meeting and institute fees beginning
August 1st.
USE SURVEY
_ The survey of Library users was begun toward the end of June and it will continue until
July 23rd. The public has been very cooperative in filling out the questionaires. I 'll
have a summary of the results for your August Board Meeting.
APPOINTMENT OF THE NEW LIBRARY BOARD MEMBER
No appointment has been announced as of this writing, but there is a possibility that the
Council will decide at their regular meeting on July 17th. If so, I 'll report to you at
your meeting on July 18th.
CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT AND EASTON DRIVE BRANCH
The Summer Reading Program began the week of June 26th. The program has been modified, in
that we are encouraging the children to draw pictures of their favorite character and/or
make a mobile, diorama, or write a report, rather than give oral reports. As soon as
school was out the children really began reading. The juvenile circulation has doubled or
better these past few weeks. Pre-school story hours are being held at the Easton Branch on
Tuesday mornings at 10:00 AM.
PERSONNEL
Richard Jones and Victoria Landauer have completed their terms of employment under the City
of Burlingame Comprehensive Employment Training Act Title VI Project, on June 30. They are
currently taking their earned vacation and terminate officially on July 14th. Their assis-
tance has been invaluable and we accomplished many tasks this past year which otherwise
might have never been done. Elizabeth Hallock, our third CETA employee has assumed the
duties of Mary Lang who retired May 31st, and coordinates the Burlingame Public Library's
Outreach Program.
STAFF DEVELOPMENT
CIN offered a middle management workshop conducted at BPL on Wednesday, June 21st and 28th.
The two-day course was attended by Al Escoffier, Marilyn Morrison, Joan Riordan-Leach,
Barbara Rowe, Helen Ward, Pat Thomas and Joy Molder. Earlier I attended a one-day version
of the same workshop. It was a very basic, practical approach to problem solving, organi-
zation of work and decision making.

TO: City Council
FROM: Irving Amstrup, Budget Chairman
RE: Attached letter.
The attached letter from our Finance Director is a compilation
of many talks that he and I have held about our City ' s budgetary
direction. It expresses both of our ideas and is presented to
the Council as suggested- discussion items to base our decisions on.
It is true that we have some breathing space since we will not get
definite $ figures from the County or State until late July or
August. But I feel that the Council should make some tentative
policy determinations which deal with a number of subjects.
1. What is our true long range target in carrying out the will
of the people?
2. How does the Council wish to carry these targets into effect?
: 3. Elimination of the fat is not simply a matter of attrition.
Perhaps we should discuss which jobs we anticipate eliminating
or being absorbed by others .
In my •estimation, the public and our personnel are entitled to know
our plans - even if only tentative.

TO: City Manager
FROM: Finance Director
RE: Burlingame' s share 1% property tax and State surplus
Based upon very preliminary information we have received from
the League of California Cities and the County Controller' s
office, the following are- estimates of our share of the 1% property
tax and State surplus
State Surplus - $399, 000
Assuming no reduction for "Reserves" based on Council action
and favorable interpretations of th.e law. .
1% Property Tax - $929, 000
Based upon County estimate of 1978-79 1% roll and 3 year average
of City' s property tax - includes reduced State business inventory
and Homeowners Tax Relief subventions . The 10s share represents
47. 8% of the 1978-79 proposed budget property tax requirement
of $1, 944 , 637 (includes State subventions HPTR,BITR; excludes
debt service. ) Our property tax loss, and required budcet
reduction, is approximately $1, 015 , 000 without the State surplus .
If the State surplus estimate is accurate, our loss could be
reduced to $616, 000.

`- TO: City Manager
FROM: Finance Director
RE: Budget Strategy 1978-79
With the implementation of Proposition 13 upon us, very
little reliable information , currently exists upon which to
make basic budget decisions. We are sure that the City
must cut- or reduce programs, but exactly how much must be
reduced'.is still unknown. Following are important consider-
ations.
o State legislation to allocate the remaining to property tax
on a pro-rata basis and the State surplus is effective for
only one year. Recent information seems to indicate that
that the State surplus may be available for two or more
years at approximately the same level.
o Accurate estimates of the amount of property tax or State
surplus which Burlingame will receive will not be available
until late July or August. Our best "guesstimate" is that
we will lose approximately $900, 000 in property tax
revenue. Burlingame' s share of the State surplus may be
between $150, 000 to $300, 000, assuming favorable interpreta-
tions of the State legislation.
O Preliminary Council reductions to date total $938, 000. Of
this amount, approximately $461,000 are long-term reductions ,
including five positions;and $477,000 are short-term, or
one time only reductions .
For the short run (1978.79) we appear to be in good shape,
assuming that all of the preliminary Council reductions are
acceptable. In order for the City to adjust to the long run
(as we currently know it) , $477, 000 in additional long-term
reductions must be made. Assuming that 75% of these additional
Tong-term reductions must be in personnel (normal budget pattern)
then approximately 18 additional full-time or full-time
equivalent part-time positions must be reduced. These 18 positions-
plus the five positions that Council has tentatively elimin-
ated total approximately 100 of our full-time staffing.
The City Council' s three-month old hiring freeze has resulted
in seven vacant positions. Of these seven positions , three
(assistant electrician, meter maid, and street sweeper) are
included as part of the five positions cut from the prelimin- •
ary budget (the three positions above plus one police clerk
and a net reduction of one position of dispatcher. ) The other
vacant positions include : fire fighter, tree trimmer, park
grounds equipment repair worker, and public works inspector.
July 10, 1978
City Manager = 2 -
Normal 5% attrition should result in about 12 additional
vacancies a year.
To adjust for the long run, at least three possible courses
of action exist:
1. Continue hiring freeze and set goal of loo reduction in
total City personnel within one to two years. By using
a two-year time frame, one of every three vacant positions
could be refilled if the position is deemed to be essen-
tial by the City Council.
2. Combine the hiring freeze and selected layoff positions
possibly with six months - one year "target" dates for
elimination of selected positions.
3. Establish a lay-off procedure and eliminate existing
positions.
SUGGESTED BUDGET STRATEGY
By deferring salary increases and capital outlay purchases
plus the City Council ' s proposed long-term reductions , the
City has "bought time" for attrition to reduce our work
`- force and time for the staff .to increase productivity or reduce
service levels gradually. The continuation of the hiring
freeze with only limited City Council approved exceptions, combined
with *a goal of loo reduction in total City personnel within one to
two years by attrition , should provide the time necessary for
long run adjustments to City operations under Proposition 13.
During the hiring freeze adjustment and/or transfers should be
made to insure that priority services are continued and that no
one department is overly affected by the freeze. A six month
review of the effectiveness of the hiring freeze is also
suggested. ,..

Memo to Council:
Re: Library Contractual Service to
Hillsborough
Bob Davidson has asked if Burlingame would continue
library services for Hillsborough on a month-to-month
basis pending their deciding whether they can handle
the matter on a yearly contract.
We previously negotiated a more realistic split of
the $90, 000 whereby Burlingame will receive $60 ,000
or 66-2/30. This would be the payment.
It is recommended that the contract be continued on
a month-to-month basis pending their determination
of their financial capabilities on a more permanent
basis.

Mr. Charles E. Schwalm, City Manager
City of Burlingame

Burlingame, CA 94010
Dear Mr. Schwalm:
As I conveyed to you by telephone this morning, the Hillsborough Town
Council authorized me to propose a month-by-month extension of our Library
Agreement for up -to three months.
The Town of Hillsborough agrees to pay the City of Burlingame $5,000 per
month and the City of San Mateo $2,500 per month in consideration of providing
�- library services according to our Library Agreement.
It is our intent to maintain our Library Service Agreement- as long as it
is financially feasible. Since the Agreement terminates this Friday, June 30th
unless extended and since our financial future is not clear at this time, it is
our desire not to allow the Agreement to end but to extend it based upon the
above provisions until we are able to adopt our 1978-79 budget.
I appreciate your verbal staff approval of this extension and I will
initiate the July payments due July 15th pending your written approval.
Very truly yours,
f

TO: Groups Using Burlingame Library Community Room
FROM: Patricia M. Bergsing, City Librarian
DATE: July 18, 1978
RE: Fees to Use the Room
With the passage of Proposition 13, the Library is facing cutbacks in
service hours and staff. In order to continue to provide basic library
services at as near the same level as before, it has been necessary to
take a careful look at all of the services we have been furnishing.
After a complete reassessment of these services, and a thorough study
of our priorities, it is apparent that we can no longer afford to
provide free meeting space to community groups. The meeting room
and its facilities require considerable custodial care, staff time
for scheduling, utilities costs, and equipment upkeep and replacement
costs.
Therefore, beginning August 1 , 1978, the attached fee schedule will
go into effect. If you have already had an application for use of
the room approved for any dates after August 1 , it will be necessary
to contact the library again, reapply, and submit payment of the fee.
If we do not hear from you by August 1 , and your meeting is scheduled
in August; or by September 1 , if your meeting is scheduled after that
date, we shall consider your application cancelled.
We are sorry for the necessity for this action, and any inconvenience
it may cause you.
