CHANDLER <br />COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR <br />H.T. "SONNY" DEAN, DIRECTOR <br />DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES <br />FROM: MARY D. POWELL, DIRECTOR, IRC MAIN LIBRARY <br />LYNN WALSH, DIRECTOR, NORTH IRC LIBRARY <br />SUBJECT: ALLOCATION OF STATE AID GRANT FUNDS <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Indian River County will receive $316,491.55 in May from State Aid <br />Grant Allocation from the State of Florida. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />The two new Library Facilities are..experiencing increased usage with <br />a shortage of staff to supply the increased demand for library <br />services. New staff positions are required to satisfy this increased <br />need. Using a portion of the State Aid Grant would allow the hiring <br />of these positions upon receipt of the monies with the understanding, <br />they would be tied to the availability of grant monies. No new <br />positions will be requested from the General Fund for at least two <br />years. At the end of the Grant Funding, the library staffing needs <br />would be addressed through the budget process. The remaining State <br />Aid Funds will be expended on library materials. <br />IRC Main Library: <br />Change 3 part time positions to full time <br />Add 3 full time and 2 part time positions $117,828 <br />North IRC Library: <br />Add 4 full time positions $ 85,298 <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Staff respectfully requests that the Board of County Commissioners <br />approve this allocation of Grant Funds. A Budget Amendment will be <br />brought back to the Board for approval, to cover this request. <br />49 <br />BOOK <br />
