EXHIBIT "A"
POLICY OF REDDING CITY COUNCIL
IN SETTING THE LIBRARY BUDGET
Recognizing that the budget for the City of Redding Library
will be financed from (a) dedicated funding from the utility
users tax as it applies to City residents, and (b) other sources
of revenue as it provides services for residents outside the
City, it shall be the policy of the City Council of the City of
Redding to utilize the average of per capita expenditures for
other city libraries in the State of California, as reported by
the State Librarian, as a basis for determining that portion of
the budget providing services to City residents. The per capita
average will be applied to the population of the City of Redding,
and may be factored 1 . 2 times to account for the inherent lag in
accumulating and publishing State statistics.
Further, it is the policy of the City Council of the City of
Redding, in budgeting for the Library, to ensure that adequate
compensation is received for the provision of City services to
1 non-City residents.
