2 <br />approve the proposal of dissolution and transition plan for the regional library system. The <br />Person County Board of Commissioners voted on May 2, 2011 to approve the dissolution plan <br />of the regional system. The Caswell County Board of Commissioners is scheduled to vote on <br />May 16. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Beginning in FY 2011-12 Orange County would begin to absorb certain <br />expenses that are now paid by the regional library system. In FY 2011-12 there would be an <br />additional expense of $11,896 in personnel costs. In FY 2012-13 the County would assume <br />another $28,093 in personnel costs and $6,000 in POLARIS (book catalog and patron account <br />software) maintenance. However, these costs would be off set by elimination of the $18,000 in <br />fees paid from each county to the regional system. The estimated overall net financial impact to <br />Orange County following the 1St year of dissolution in FY 2012-13 would be an increase of <br />$28,500. The increased funding will be included in the library's proposed annual operating <br />budget for FY 2011-12. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the Hyconeechee <br />Regional Library System Dissolution Plan and authorize the Chair to sign. <br />
