APPROVE Appropriation Adjustment No. 5053 authorizing the transfer of appropriations in the amount of $275,000
from the Library Community Services (0621) to Library Administration and Support Services (0620) for the purchase
of book security equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This action increases appropriations in Library Administration & Support Services (0620) and decreases
appropriations in Library Community Services (0621) by $275,000. 100% Library Fund.
BACKGROUND:
In the Contra Costa County Library strategic plan, libraries that are being moved to new buildings, new locations,
being renovated, or have aging book security equipment will use an 80/20 self-service model to handle circulation
functions. In this model, 80% of circulation will be self-service and 20% will be handled by staff. RFID-ready
self-check machines that include self-return software are major components to achieve the goals of the strategic plan.
The Antioch, Concord, Dougherty Station, Hercules, and Moraga libraries have very old book security equipment.
The libraries will be configured to use the 80/20 self-service model. The equipment also needs to be the same in each
location for staff that move between different locations. It is imperative for network and staff training that the systems
are compatible and the same in each location.
