Mr. Ray Duhamel, Vice-Chair of the Barrie Public Library Board and Mr. Al Davis, Library Director provided a presentation on the Barrie Public Library Board’s 2014 Operating Grant Request. Mr. Duhamel provided an overview of the operating grant request noting that the reserve accounts used to fund a portion of the Library’s expenses are nearly depleted. He noted that although expenses are only projected to increase by 1.3%, due to the reduced availability of funds from the reserve accounts, a higher increase will be required to maintain the level of service. Mr. Duhamel also observed that building maintenance costs charged to the Library are anticipated to be over-budget due to the aging main branch building and that a building maintenance audit is being conducted in 2014 which could impact the Library’s grant request for 2015. In closing, Mr. Duhamel summarized the 2014 and 2015 operating forecasts.
