FOR ACTION
1. Approval of Summary Minutes of September 7, 2005.
Commissioner Lantry moved approval. Adopted Yeas - 6 Nays - 0
2. Resolution L.B. 05-005—Adoption of Library Agency Budget and Tax Levy for 2006.
Chair Harris requested Greg Blees, City Council Fiscal Policy Advisor,and Margaret
Egan, City Council Chief Budget Analyst, to present the proposal for the Saint Paul
Public Library Agency's Budget and Property Tax Levy for 2006. Ms. Egan distributed
copies of the Resolution adopting the 2006 Budget and Requesting Property Tax Levy to
the Board.
Mr. Blees stated the independent Library Agency must adopt a budget for the year 2006
and forward it to the Saint Paul City Council for adoption in mid-December 2005. He
stated the City Council met earlier today as a budget committee to review possible
changes to the Mayor's proposed budget for the Saint Paul Public Library Agency.
•
November 23, 2005 Public Library Agency Minutes Page 2
Mr. Blees referred to the three documents distributed by Ms. Egan and stated the
document dated 11/23/05 is the dollar list that identifies the detail changes the Council
considered this morning. The Council made changes to increase the Net Spending Plan
for the Library Operations Fund by $105,000; however, no changes were made to the
Debt Services Fund. The Capital Improvement Budget was increased by $201,000 worth
of interest earnings for the Rondo Library Project, and the Reserves were established for
the Sun Ray Materials Management Center in the Capital Projects Fund. Overall, the
budget is 1%higher then the Library's budget from 2005, the total budget for 2006 is
$14,628,002 which includes the Operations Debt Service and Special Grant Funds.
Mr. Blees stipulated to Chair Harris and the Board that a resolution was placed before
them to adopt the summary changes in the Library Operations Special Funds, Debt Funds
and Capital Project Funds. The Property Tax Revenues required for the budget is
$10,116,505. Mr. Blees stated this was the same amount proposed in 2005 for property
tax financing. He stated to that figure, 2% shrinkage would be added to show the
financing required for the fund. The actual levy for the libraries will be a part of the
City's levy and established when the Council acts in mid December to certify final levies.
Commissioner Helgen stated he was surprised to discover the budget proposal did not
include any additional investments for Wi-Fi capabilities in the Library systems, either
• demonstrational or on a system-wide basis. Mr. Blees responded that the library's
budget proposal did not include any additional investments for Wi-Fi capabilities.
Commissioner Helgen stated the Board had discussed this issue in the past, including
options to leverage some funds to create available financing. He stated it is becoming a
trend in libraries and that it is a missing piece of technology in this information age.
Commissioner Lantry requested amending the resolution by adding Mayor Kelly's last
name, and stated she moves approval of the resolution.
Chair Harris stated Commissioner Helgen made some good remarks concerning Wi-Fi
technology upgrades for the library and stated the Board would bring up this subject
again next year for discussion.
Commissioner Lantry moved approval. Adopted Yeas - 7 Nays - 0

Saint Paul Public Library Board Report
DATE: January 18, 2005
SUBJECT: Information Report on Library Services and Technology Act
(LSTA) Grant to Market Library Services to Underserved
Communities
• PURPOSE:
This report provides information about a grant funded project to follow up on
recommendations in the 2004 Needs Assessment for Underserved Communities prepared
for the Library by Tom Cytron-Hysom.
BACKGROUND:
In 2004, the Library contracted with Tom Cytron-Hysom and the Saint Paul
Community Literacy Consortium to conduct a Needs Assessment for Underserved
Communities, particularly those for whom English is not their first language. One
of the most significant findings of the report was that the Library was already
offering many of the services that the various communities said they wanted.
Clearly the Library was not marketing its services well enough to these targeted
audiences.
Acting to meet this clearly defined need for marketing, the Library sought and
received an LSTA grant for $33,000 to work again with Tom Cytron-Hysom and
cultural liaisons to design a strategy to take information about Library services
• directly to the Hmong/Asian, Hispanic and Somoli communities, three groups who
had participated in the first project.
•
Three liaisons, Alejandra Reyes Cejudo, Kaltun Deriye and Leona Xiong, will
create culturally appropriate plans to tell the Library's story to their communities.
They will also represent the Library at various events and carry cell phones in
order to help potential Library users answer questions about the Library's services.
The anticipated outcomes for this project include increased cultural awareness for
Library workers; increased understanding of how the Library can serve diverse
communities; increased use of the Library by targeted communities; increased
understanding of how to communicate with the Hispanic, Somali and Hmong
communities.
The Library will make a full report to the Library Board at the completion of this
project.
