Reason for Recommended Action/Background
The Library needs to adjust their FY 2016-17 budget as follows:

1) $15,000 receipt of a grant from the California State Library to purchase Broadband Equipment for the Yolo Library;

2) $100,000 increase to charges for services to offset 211 Yolo salary and benefits running through Library budget.  The 211 Yolo program was transferred to HHSA in FY 2016-17, but the accounting change was never made in the payroll system so salaries and benefits have continued to be charged to the Library budget, necessitating this budget adjustment; and

3) $90,000 increase in property tax revenue to offset the increased cost in communications due to delay in receipt of the CENIC erate credits. Through CENIC the Library is able to provide 1G Internet access to the branches of Yolo, Knights Landing and Esparto and 10G Internet access from Central Services at a much reduced rate once the erate credits are approved by the Universal Services Administrative Company (USAC).  For example, the normal monthly cost for the 1G line to a small branch is $1,012 but after erate credits this monthly cost is reduced to $200 per month, making the cost affordable.  However the application and approval process through the USAC is very complicated and time consuming.  We have received notice from CENIC that the USAC has approved their application for FY 2016-17, though actual receipt of credits is not expected to happen until FY 2017-18.
