• /0 <br /> The professionally trained librarians on the Task Force, directed by the BOCC and Task Force <br /> at large, have created a Matrix, which is attached, of Library Standards identifying those Orange <br /> County libraries that meet the standard or the financial impact of achieving the standard. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no immediate financial impact•to receiving this Executive <br /> Summary and Attachments. These documents identify specific•funding initiatives for the CIP for <br /> Library Services in Orange County. The BOCC would ultimately need to discuss and determine <br /> the overall magnitude and relative priority of these future capital project proposals and <br /> associated impacts on program operations and facility maintenance. The Library currently holds <br /> in trust approximately $129,000 that can be used as a capital contribution towards a proposed <br /> Heritage Center. Additionally, the current Library budget contains $10,000, earmarked to <br /> engage an outside consultant to explore interoperability among all Orange County Libraries. <br /> These funds can be used to address the 2000 Task Force recommendation to conduct a cost- <br /> benefit study of implementing a county-wide,jointly—operated,technology-system. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: <br /> 1. Accept the Library Service Standards and Facilities Needs Matrix developed by 2007 <br /> Library Services Task Force; and <br /> 2. Direct County and Library management to begin discussions with the Town of Chapel Hill <br /> for a consolidated county-wide library system. <br /> • • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br /> • <br />
