Adopt Resolution Reinstating the Library Department August 20, 2019 Page 2 In July 2019, the Santa Ana City Council approved the creation of the Library Services Director classification as part of the Fiscal Year 2019-2020 Budget process. The Library Services Director will oversee all operations at the Main Library and Newhope Branch Library including Adult Services, Youth Services, and Technology and Support Services to ensure an integrated program of library services. In order for the Library to operate independently from the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency, the reinstatement of the Library Department with a Library Services Director is needed as the Executive Director or Department Head of the Agency. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #7 Team Santa Ana, Objective #5 (Create a culture of innovation and efficiency within the organization), Strategy E (Identify best practices and opportunities for process improvement and automation across City departments in order to provide effective and efficient delivery of City services to the community). FISCAL IMPACT As part of the fiscal year 2019-2020 city-wide budget process, the City Council approved a General Fund budget for the Library in the amount of $5,414,880 (Accounting Unit 01111150), which included 25 funded full-time employees and one unfunded full-time employee. Additionally, there is one full-time funded employee included in the Strategic Plan Fund (Accounting Unit 05213018) to support the E-Library program. Therefore, the accounting structure for the Library to become a stand-alone department has already been established with the adoption of the fiscal year 2019- 2020 city-wide budget. rlf�_WU_J& Steven V.
