LIBRARY BUDGETS (86-1. 86-2, 86-3. 86-4. 86-5 AND 86-6) REVIEWED - TENTATIVELY APPROVED Library Director Dick Joder presented the proposed budget for all six librari under his jurisdiction and stated that the increase of approximately 9.3~ is nece~ if an equal level of operation is to be maintained. Some of the increases. he sai ~ . are beyond his control - i.e. fixed costs. utilties; salaries; but stated that the figures for the Plant. Collection and Staff have remained much the same. From the Capital Improvement Fund. there has been earmarked for the improvement of the Nort Collier area, approximately $272.000 while the operational budget includes an appr imate $75,785 for the purchase of materials - i.e. audio-visuals. periodicals. mic N!~( 047 ~'~r~Rn ~c~~ 04.7 rACE 58! August 1. 1979 forms and books (an increase from the $73.671 for the FY 1978-79) and even with this increase. there will not be enough monies to keep up with the inflation. Mr. Jodcr continued. that his requc~ts for n~w employees are as follows: Headquarters 1 Clerk and 1 CETA Page (This position to be converted to regular payro 11 ) Marco Island 1 half-time Page (Converted to regular payroll) Immokalee 1 Professional Librarian and explained that the additional personnel will result in better service and not require the closing of one or two of the libraries. as h~s happened in the past. due to the staffing being too thin. County Manager Norman recommended that a small station wagon be purchased for Building Maintenance and in turn be swapped with Mr. Joder for the step van that has been used by his department for the last year. It will answer a need both in the library Department and the Building Maintenance. he said. It was the consensus of the Board that the budget for the Library Department I tentatively approved in the amount of $458.724 which includes a reduction of $4.301 for the deletion of the half-time page for Marco Island library from the original budget figure of $463,024. BUILDING DEPARTMENT (35-1) REVIEWED - TENTATIVELY APPROVED AS AMENDED County Manager Norman, with the assistance of Building Director Dulaney. presented the proposed Building Department budget of $466.649, saying the figure is predicated on an anticipated increase in permit fees - that figure being approximately $800,000. During the discussion it was determined that many builder! are getting permits before the Federal Flood Program becomes effective in Septembel 1979 which will require that new structures be greatly elevated. Mr. Dulaney said the above-referenced building permits are good for six months and in order to be "grandfathered in" the builders must have paid for and picked up the permits by August 13. 1979. Also discussed was the possibility of a study which would indicate the amount af costs for each department involved in the building permit and inspection praces! August 1. 1979 i.e. health department. zoning department. etc. to show if the current permit fee schedule is sufficient. Mr. Dulaney stated that in the new proposed ordinanc regarding fees. it is being requested that the $18.00 per square foot of living area be increased to $20.00 per square foot and. even though this is not as high as the City of Naples' building fee of $24.00 per square foot. it is approximatel the same when the overall picture is considered. It was the consensus of the Board that the Building Department budget be tentatively approved in the amount of approximately $425.649 which reflects a deletion of two (2) inspector positions (approximately $41.000) from the original budget figure of $466.649.
