L6

7 Operational Goals Excellence in Service Delivery 2.

8 Service Level Changes Business Unit: Halifax Public Libraries on under served youth. Downloadable e books and downloadable video service available.. Debt Collect program implemented to facilitate collection of outstanding accounts. Decreases In Services / Operational Pressures: None Expected Services Not Being Delivered: L8

9 Service Level Changes Capital Advancement of Central Library In 2007/08 Council approved the award of tender for the Planning Consulting Services: Central Library Building Program and Space Requirements study to HOK Planning Group Inc. The building program will develop a vision for current and future needs of the facility to meet the needs and expectations of the general public and library users, as well as, identify size and cost estimates. With the Building Program and Space Requirements report now complete, in order to move the project forward approval in principle by HRM Council is required. $400,000 included in the 2008/09 Capital budget could be redirected to the design phase for the Central Library building. The capital design and construction costs have not yet been incorporated into the five year Capital Plan, and no contribution has been made to reserves. The situation is growing more critical to have a plan in place to replace the Spring Garden Library. The Master Plan identified an annual infrastructure recapitalization deficit of $350,000. While some issues have been addressed in the proposed 2008/09 Capital Budget and commitment to annual funding through capital recapitalization would further support the implementation of the Master Facilities Plan. In 2008/09, a total of $400,000 has been allocated for the Library in the Infrastructure and Asset Management budget. Of this, $200,000 is for the repair and maintenance of Spring Garden Road Memorial Library; the remaining $200,000 falls short of the recommended $350,000 recapitalization required to complete the refurbishment of Captain William Spry Library and refurbish the Sackville Library. L9

10 Service Level Changes Capital Request: Operating Succession planning / Staff relations: Implementation of effective succession planning strategies, staff training and development and recruitment strategies cannot be advanced. Current funding for staff training and development is inadequate to ensure appropriately trained staff and to address succession planning concerns. Operating request: $50,000. Improved service hours and public access: The Library will be unable to address ongoing requests from the public and from Councillors to expand hours of operation at Musquodoboit Harbour to improve service access. Ongoing complaints are received regarding a lack of open hours. While fixed costs are not affected by hours of operation, the Library is unable to meet the service demand without increasing staff levels. Increased hours are requested at Musquodoboit Harbour libraries from 22 hours/week to 50 hours/week. Operating request: $257, FTE Collection Management Centralization and process efficiencies in Collection Management will not be implemented. An additional FTE is required to consolidate and coordinate activities now carried out at the Manager level, enabling the Branch Managers to more appropriately focus their work on community development and public service. Operating request: $58, FTE L10
