South Central Library System Financial Overview 2013 System Budget
Factors in Budget Development • When developing a budget for the System, many factors are taken into account, to include: • Member needs and priorities • Individual department budgets and resources • Financial challenges • New Opportunities
Financial Challenges • 10% cut in State Aid: $228,593 • Loss of interest income: $75,000 • Reduced LSTA grant income • Reduced revenue due to reduction in delivery services (ex: 4 day delivery instead of 5) • Increasing supply costs • Built in escalators in our contracts with vendors/cost of living increases • Broadband increases • WRS contribution increases
New Opportunities • Investing SCLS funds in higher yielding bonds and treasuries to recapture some lost interest income. • Establishing corporate accounts with discounted purchasing power, as well as sourcing new vendors, to reduce supply costs. • Renegotiated copier lease and building lease to reduce rents. • Reduced or eliminated several budget lines on annual budget. • Eliminated positions (Delivery Drivers, Associate Director, Technology Projects Manager, computer operator) • Reorganized the technology department • Collaborating with other Systems and offering services outside our system.
