SECTION 4

Local Financial Effort

37

What is Local Financial Effort?

The amount a library spends from local funds on operating expenses.

Local funds are funds from the city, county, school district, library district, fines, memorials, and monetary gifts from within the county where the library is located.

38

What is not Local Financial Effort?

• Loan Star Libraries• Tocker grants• Gates grants• Book Festival grants• LSTA grants through regional systems

39

Local Collection ExpendituresQuestion 4.1

This is derived from information provided in Section 3. It is the local funds expended in Print, Electronic, and Other Materials. The subtotal of these is Question 3.7.

40

Local Collection Expenditures

Cont’d

If the library spent Loan Star Libraries funds on Collections, deduct that amount from Local Collection Expenditures.

41

Local Funds ExpendituresQuestion 4.2

This is derived from information provided in Section 3. It is the local funds expended in Total Operating Expenditures (Question 3.11).

42

Local Funds ExpendituresQuestion 4.2


This question is what we use to determine whether the library meets MOE.

Include indirect (3.10), if needed.

43

What is MOE?

Maintenance of Effort is from rule 13 TAC 1.74.

A public library must demonstrate local effort on an annual basis by maintaining or increasing local operating expenditures or per capita local operating expenditures…

44

What is MOE?

Expenditures for the current reporting year will be compared to the average of the total local operating expenditures or to the average of the total per capita local operating expenditures for the three preceding years. Libraries that expend at least $13.50 per capita and at least $125,000 of local funds are exempt form this membership criterion.

45

What is MOE?

Per the rule, we calculate both expenditure average and per capita average. We use the lesser amount to determine whether a library meets MOE.

If do not meet MOE, must appeal.

46

MOE Example

Library X is assigned the following population:

LFY2006 – 25,000 LFY2007 – 26,500 LFY2008 – 27,000 LFY2009 – 28,000

Library X reported the following amounts in Question 4.2:

LFY2006-$160,000 LFY2007-$170,000 LFY2008-$180,000

47

MOE Example-3 year ave.

MOE for LFY2009 would be:

$160,000 + 170,000 + 180,000 = $510,000

$510,000 / 3 = $170,000

Or

48

MOE Example-Per Capita

MOE for LFY2009 would be:

$160,000 + $170,000 + $180,000 = $510,000 25,000 + 26,500 + 27,000 = 78,500

$510,000 / 78,500 = $6.50 per capita

$6.50 X 28,000 = $182,000

49

MOE Example

MOE for LFY2009 would be either:

$170,000 or $182,000

We will use the lower amount of $170,000

Staff looks for at least that amount in 4.2.

HOWEVER: make sure also meet 1.81(A) for the library’s appropriate population range.

Amount in 4.2 divided by current pop (28,000).

50

MOE

Keep in mind:

Census estimates, and population assignments, are updated annually.

Population assignments are not final until sources of income are analyzed for all libraries, so the 09 pops could change and affect a library’s MOE.

51

Local Gov’t Funds ExpendituresQuestion 4.3

What are local government funds?

City, county, school district, or library district funds

52



This is the question we use to determine whether the library meets the Local Government Funds Expenditures criteria. This is from rule 13 TAC 1.77.

Indirect costs can be used, if necessary.

If do not meet this, must appeal.

53


We calculate the minimum required in conjunction with rule 13 TAC 1.81 (A). This is the minimum per capita expenditure required. This is different from MOE.

54


As stated earlier, Library X has an assigned population of 28,000 for FY09.

Per rule 13 TAC 1.81(5)(A),need $5.00 minimum per capita

55


Per rule 13 TAC 1.77, we divide this by 2 and multiply by the population assigned.

$5.00 /2 = $2.50$2.50 X 28,000 = $70,000

56


Staff will look for at least $70,000 in Question 4.3.

57


Note:We use the minimums in 13 TAC 1.81 to calculate Local Government Support.

13 TAC 1.81 minimums increase in 2010.

If the library spends at least $13.50 per capita and has at least some government support, it is exempt from this rule.

58

Local Per Capita Expenditures-

Accreditation Criteria

13 TAC 1.81 (A) is also an accreditation criteria. Derived from Question 4.2 and population.

13 TAC 1.81 (A) minimums increase in 2010.

If the library fails to meet not more than one criteria in 13 TAC 1.81, can be probational.

Will look at the rest of 13 TAC 1.81 in Part II webinar
