The City is in a relatively healthy fiscal position. The City's major revenue sources— property tax, sales tax and hotel tax (TOT) have all increased. These three revenue sources make up 84%of the General Fund revenues. These revenues are also expected to increase in the new fiscal year— FY 2013-14. The City Council approved approximately a 2% (non-personnel) increase in all departments. Personnel increases are determined by a variety of factors—bargaining unit contracts, increases in health care costs, etc. The Council also approved 5 new positions in the City. Most of these positions replaced positions that were in the City before 2008. A full-time Children's Librarian position was approved for the Library. We are obviously very excited and happy to get this much needed position in the Children's Department approved! This position is funded as of July 1, 2013. We have a current Children's Librarian list and will be hiring from this list—more info to follow. First outcome of this hiring will be a weekly Baby Story Time beginning September 6. We now have a monthly Baby Story Time and patrons have `�- been asking for it to be weekly. Library Project update: The other good budget news for the library is the funding for the Millennium Project now named "Our Library, Our Future", for the purpose of the capital campaign. The Project is estimated to cost approximately$3.5M. The FY12-13 capital budget appropriated $385K for architectural design and design development for the project. The FY 13-14 capital budget appropriates $1.2 M to begin construction. The project will be sent out to bid in January 2014 and is expected to span two fiscal years. The remaining funding request for FY 2014-15 will be $915K. $1M will be raised through the capital campaign. Construction will be done in one phase but one floor at a time to minimize disruption to Library patrons. The Library will remain open during construction. Capital Campaign—Capital Campaign met May 29t". Items discussed included: revised timeline of the project; revised campaign brochure; and next steps. Patty Anixter, Michael Ma and I attended a Bay Area wide Library Foundation meeting at San Mateo Public Library on June 4. Group included Foundation directors and members from San Francisco Public, Berkeley Public, Los Altos Public, Redwood City, and San Mateo. Participants shared fund-raising experiences ranging from book selling to large capital campaigns. 1 Problem Patron—We had a recent incident with a problem patron, Mr. Robert Greggans. Mr. Greggans has had a number of incidents in the Library since 2007. The most recent incident occurred on May 21, 2013. Three Library managers including myself were trying to assist a woman who was passed out at one of the computer stations. Mr. Greggans who has his back to us jumped up and inserted himself, laughing and making loud derogatory comments and profanity. He became very vocal, yelling that we better not come to his house. His voice, words, and manner were threatening and I called the police. I will be meeting with Kathleen Kane and Sergeant Don Shepley on Tuesday, June 18 to discuss next steps in dealing with Mr. Greggans. I have also asked Don to attend our August All-Staff meeting to discuss when to call the police when handling a difficult situation and have him answer questions from the staff.

DATE TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL SUBMITTED BY DATE: October 18,2004 APPROVED FROM: Parks & Recreation Director (558-7307) BY SUBJECT: COMMUNITY RECOGNITION POLICY ADOPTION RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that Council review and approve the attached Community Recognition Policy. BACKGROUND: During the process of renaming the Burlingame Soccer Center Murray Field, the City began to formalize the Community Recognition process. The Mayor appointed a committee of Council members Baylock and Nagel to review the draft originally recommended by the Parks&Recreation Commission. The Council Committee met with staff on three occasions and has revised the policy. The Policy being submitted for approval allows for recognition for either long-term service to the community or one-time donations. Recognition may come in the form of inclusion in the Walk of Fame (to be established) or the naming of facility component—such as a field, room or playground. Recommendations to the Walk of Fame will be made to the Council by representatives from each of the City's Commissions. Recommendation to name a facility component after an individual would come from the Commission with the closest sphere of influence to the facility in question. BUDGET IMPACT: The cost of soliciting annual applications for the Walk of Fame will be minimal. Fund for recognitions for one-time donations and facility renamings will be considered during the approval process.
