Attachment: O <br />Fiscal Capacity: Santa Ana Public Library <br />The City of Santa Ana uses the Lawson Financial Management System to monitor <br />revenues and expenditures. Grants are provided a unique accounting unit and activities are used <br />to track grant program expenditures and grant matches. Every expenditure requires an <br />accounting unit and activity and Lawson is capable of generating reports at the accounting unit <br />or activity level. <br />The Lawson Financial Management System provides for a system of checks and <br />balances that ensure that all purchases are electronically routed for approvals from the <br />department manager and department fiscal. Impacted items, such as computer hardware and <br />cameras, are routed to the Budget Office for review and approval. (Please refer to attachment II <br />for our City Purchasing Policy Guide) <br />Staff from the City's Finance and Management Services and Parks, Recreation and <br />Community Services agencies will work together to submit detailed invoices with adequate <br />back-up. Both agencies have staff with many years experience working on federal and state <br />funded grants. <br />The Library has a $2.8 M general fund operating budget and access to resources from <br />Parks, Recreation and Community Services and other City agencies. In addition, the Library <br />receives Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) and State Public Library Fund (PLF) <br />funds that support library operations. Hence our stability is not dependent on WIA funds. <br />
