6.1. - Page 4 of 20 Beginning in FY 2022-23, the City will pay the JPA $400,000 per year to offset approximately 50% of the cost of current service levels. It is anticipated that the JPA will expand library service hours at Fair Oaks Library, which will increase operational costs, but the City will not bear any financial responsibility for the increased service hours. The City's payments will be adjusted by the Consumer Price Index for fiscal years 2023-24 through 2025-26, and the agreement calls for a new base contribution starting in FY 2026-27 to realign the City's contribution to 50% of the total operating costs of the Library for a level of service similar to that provided by the City in FY 2018-19. In the long term, the agreement with the JPA is expected to increase service hours at the Fair Oaks Branch Library while achieving minor savings in the Library's annual budget through reductions in staff costs, library materials, reduced charges for Peninsula Library System fees, and reductions in pension liabilities associated with the 3.06 FTE reduction in allocated positions.
