Indirect CostsQuestion 3.10 A cost incurred for a normal library operating expenditure that is not part of the library’s budget, but is paid for by a local government agency on behalf of the library.
Indirect Costs Example: The city purchases Internet access for all city departments, including the library. These costs are not charged back to the library’s budget.

Indirect Costs When does a library utilize indirect costs? When the library does not have sufficient expenditures to meet Maintenance of Effort (MOE).
Indirect Costs What is not allowed as an indirect cost? Capital expenditures “Rent” for gov’t owned space
Indirect Costs Documentation needed: Breakdown of indirect costs from governmental entity that provided support. Must be signed by government official with fiscal authority.
Indirect Costs Final note: Only report what is needed to make up MOE deficiency so it will not adversely affect MOE for the next fiscal year. Documented amount can exceed amount needed-only report enough to meet MOE
Capital Outlay One-time or extraordinary expenditures. Building sites New buildings Building additions New equipment Major computer installations Initial book stock Furnishings for new or expanded buildings New vehicles
Accreditation Questions Question 3.10-If indirect support needed to meet MOE
SECTION 4 Local Financial Effort
What is Local Financial Effort? The amount a library spends from local funds on operating expenses. Local funds are funds from the city, county, school district, library district, fines, memorials, and monetary gifts from within the county where the library is located.

Local Collection ExpendituresQuestion 4.1 This is derived from information provided in Section 3. It is the local funds expended in Print, Electronic, and Other Materials. The subtotal of these is Question 3.7.
Local Collection ExpendituresCont’d If the library spent Loan Star Libraries funds on Collections, deduct that amount from Local Collection Expenditures.
Local Funds ExpendituresQuestion 4.2 This is derived from information provided in Section 3. It is the local funds expended in Total Operating Expenditures (Question 3.11).
Local Funds ExpendituresQuestion 4.2Accreditation Question This question is what we use to determine whether the library meets MOE. Include indirect (3.10), if needed.
Maintenance of Effort is from rule 13 TAC 1.74. A public library must demonstrate local effort on an annual basis by maintaining or increasing local operating expenditures or per capita local operating expenditures… What is MOE?
Expenditures for the current reporting year will be compared to the average of the total local operating expenditures or to the average of the total per capita local operating expenditures for the three preceding years. Libraries that expend at least $13.50 per capita and at least $125,000 of local funds are exempt form this membership criterion. What is MOE?
Per the rule, we calculate both expenditure average and per capita average. We use the lesser amount to determine whether a library meets MOE. If do not meet MOE, must appeal. What is MOE?
Library X is assigned the following population: LFY2006 – 25,000 LFY2007 – 26,500 LFY2008 – 27,000 LFY2009 – 28,000 Library X reported the following amounts in Question 4.2: LFY2006-$160,000 LFY2007-$170,000 LFY2008-$180,000 MOE Example
MOE for LFY2009 would be: $160,000 + 170,000 + 180,000 = $510,000 $510,000 / 3 = $170,000 Or MOE Example-3 year ave.
MOE for LFY2009 would be: $160,000 + $170,000 + $180,000 = $510,000 25,000 + 26,500 + 27,000 = 78,500 $510,000 / 78,500 = $6.50 per capita $6.50 X 28,000 = $182,000 MOE Example-Per Capita
MOE for LFY2009 would be either: $170,000 or $182,000 We will use the lower amount of $170,000 Staff looks for at least that amount in 4.2. HOWEVER: make sure also meet 1.81(A) for the library’s appropriate population range. Amount in 4.2 divided by current pop (28,000). MOE Example
Keep in mind: Census estimates, and population assignments, are updated annually. Population assignments are not final until sources of income are analyzed for all libraries, so the 09 pops could change and affect a library’s MOE. MOE
