Recommendation: Director Wieber recommended the board take the following actions by separate motions and votes: 1. Approve the “General Operating Fund Final Close Estimate Budget Revision for Fiscal Year 2017 – 2018” 2. Approve the “Special Revenue Fund Final Close Estimate Budget Revision for Fiscal Year 2017 – 2018” 3. Receive the “General Operating Fund Preliminary Budget for Fiscal Year 2018 – 2019“ 4. Approve the “Special Revenue Fund Preliminary Budget for the Fiscal Year 2018- 2019” 5. Approve the “Capital Improvement Plan Budget for the Three Years Ending June 30, 2021” Executive Summary: 1. The Kalamazoo Public Library typically amends the Library’s General Operating Fund budget prior to fiscal year-end when final revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year can be more closely projected (the “Final Close Estimate Budget”). Administration has continued that practice with this Final Close Estimate Budget. Salaries and benefits were revised to reflect vacancies and new hires; certain allowances were reduced and budgetary reserves have been eliminated. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, we project that the Library’s Operating Fund will generate net income from operations, as shown in the line “Net Operating Surplus / (Deficit)” of $170,785. 2. The Special Revenue Fund budget is also revised at close to the end of the fiscal year. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, the Special Revenue budget reflects gifts and grants received during the fiscal year, including donations and mini-grants from the Friends of KPL, as well as the continued receipt of bequeaths from both the Jochem Fund and the Mesara Trust. The Special Revenue budget revision also includes a forecast of Library funds assigned for the Local History Room that are managed by Kalamazoo Community Foundation. 3. Notes attached to the Preliminary Estimate Budget (or “PEB”) for FY 2018–2019 summarize our assumptions and / or inclusions in each line item. A few highlights: a. Revenue: Property tax revenue from the Library’s taxing districts is budgeted to increase modestly. The Library’s property tax revenue forecast in the PEB is based upon a millage of 3.9487 mills levied for operational purposes. We budget for a reduction in fines and fee revenues from KPL Circulation that is offset by increased forecasts for payments in lieu of taxes and interest earnings on Library investments. District Court Penal Fines for the PEB have been reduced to the approximate amount received in FY 2016-2017. The Library’s share of the State’s Local Community Stabilization Fund (Personal Property Tax replacement revenue) –was budgeted for FY 2018-2019 at 70% of that which KPL received in the current fiscal year. The net result of these revenue 81 III. A. assumptions is a projected increase in revenue of $306,069 in the Preliminary Estimate Budget for FY 2018-2019 compared to the Final Close Estimate Budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018. b. Expenditures: Among Salary and Benefits the only new position included in the PEB for FY 2018-2019 is a Youth Programming Librarian at the Oshtemo branch. However please note, the full-year impact of a for the Head of IT, a new IT Library Assistant and the upgrade of an existing position at Oshtemo to Assistant Branch Manager are reflected in the preliminary budget. A total compensation reserve has be set aside for salary and benefit changes as of July 1. Retirement expenses are reduced considerably due to the Library voluntary $200,000 contribution to MERS to reduce its unfunded pension liability during FY 2017-2018. A similar contribution is not recommended by Administration at this time but could be reconsidered at mid-year. Please note that the PEB also reflects a continuing shift in spending on Materials for use by Library patrons towards electronic and digital materials. While the overall expenditures for physical materials have dipped slightly over the past three fiscal years, expenditures for E-Books and digital material has risen sharply.

  • WMUK Underwriting
    WMUK underwriting Why underwrite? Underwriting is a unique partnership with WMUK public radio that affords your business the opportunity to build additional awareness in West Michigan. 2 Crafting your message Message guidelines Underwriting differs from traditional radio advertising in both sound and spirit. The public radio audience responds to straight- forward information presented with clarity and sincerity. WMUK underwriting announcements are fifteen seconds in length and may include some of the following elements: • The sponsor’s product or service line • A neutral description of products or services • The sponsor’s established corporate slogan • Business location/telephone number/website • Time sensitive or event information • A statement of the underwriter’s institutional goals The format of underwriting announcements is fundamental to the non-commercial content of public broadcasting and protects the style and sound that our listeners value so highly. We help you to craft a clear, memorable statement that will have a positive impact on listeners, and is FCC compliant. Sample announcements “Support for WMUK comes from Bell’s Brewery, makers of fine beer, ale, porter and stout. A wide selection is offered at Bell’s Eccentric Cafe located at the original brewery in Downtown Kalama- zoo. Bell’s – Inspired Brewing; on the web at bellsbeer–dot–com.” “Support for WMUK comes from the Gilmore, proud supporters of Performance Today broadcasts on WMUK.

  • Appendix 10. Education Plan: Black & Paw Paw River Watersheds
    Appendix 10. Education Plan: Black & Paw Paw River Watersheds Introduction The Black River Watershed and Paw Paw River Watershed Information & Education (I&E) Plan was formulated through the efforts of the joint information & education sub- committee. This sub-committee consisted of members from both watershed Steering Committees. The purpose of the plan is to provide a framework to inform and motivate the various stakeholders, residents and other decision makers within the Black River and Paw Paw River watersheds to take appropriate actions to protect water quality. This working document will also provide a starting point for organizations within the watersheds looking to provide educational opportunities or outreach efforts. The geography of the Black River and Paw Paw River watersheds lend themselves to a partnership approach, which has been a focal point for all information and education efforts to date within the watersheds. With both watersheds sharing multiple municipal boundaries as well as many similar water quality concerns, a partnership approach to education and outreach enables both watershed projects to maximize their resources and effectively reach a larger audience than could be accomplished alone. Information & Education Goal The I&E plan will help to achieve the watershed management goals by increasing the involvement of the community in watershed protection efforts through awareness, education and action. The watershed community can become involved only if they are informed of the issues and are provided information and opportunities to participate. The I&E plan lists specific tasks to be completed. These tasks will increase the general awareness of watersheds and water quality issues for all audiences, educate target audiences on specific issues and motivate target audiences to implement practices to improve and protect water quality.
