8 <br /> Erin Sapienza, Interim Library Director, said staff looks at visits to the library on a daily <br /> and hourly basis. She said Sundays had fewer visits than during the week. She said shifting <br /> hours might not accomplish the intended goal. She said there are differences in the visits <br /> between weekdays and weekends. She said that the library tries to align hours during <br /> weekdays to accommodate reference questions, business-related questions, and work and <br /> resume advice. She said weekends tend to have more leisurely, family-type visits. <br /> Chair Price said the library has fantastic programs for children and teens and that there <br /> are always something going on. She asked the County Manager if she was ok with the funding <br /> source. <br /> Bonnie Hammersley said she was comfortable with the proposal. <br /> All of the Commissioners said they were in favor of budget amendment 22-23OP-003. <br /> Slide #6 <br /> Operating Budget Amendments <br /> OP FF777-nerH277on WPX Abbate add4wEI RPAfundripfortl-e <br /> Unp Time Horneanne1rA9ktwr9 <br /> Prcgramla ewa1325D.QD0 in awaleble <br /> flx�drg fo+FY 2CQ2-23 from dx <br /> Una1Dm3 dPra' a <br /> 2.230P4N rnrniy4merliamkn AIRPA Reduce UnakxftoProjeclb�316,36410 (S16364 <br /> cUe#irveaselo Lang The Homeowner <br /> vlance Frpgram <br /> 2.230P-M mraisaioneniamkp Edux m easene*o schoddWcl'opera q 52509 <br /> budpalby325D 3�dimMbyADM)wd <br /> eawieta-M wdteirrng for al rccnty <br /> arh"0 25DQDQ. <br /> 2-2dOP-0D6 mraie merfiwkn N1 i325D.QDQ <br /> setawel and 7aicA49 for al ccuq <br /> b=nBm by 525d DUtDof&al <br /> nmmgBia qdiadq currun exp3nse <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> h OFM r cAlk{}1 INA <br /> All of the Commissioners were in favor of budget amendment 22-23OP-002, which <br /> would increase ARPA funding for the Long Time Homeowner Assistance Program by$16,364. <br /> In reference to budget amendment 22-23OP-006, Commissioner Hamilton said the <br /> schools are in crisis.
