Dear Mr. Burrell:
The following information provides the cost for library service in your city as well as the amount of property tax collected and special tax, if applicable. You will note that this year we are reporting the cost of service and property tax for the same year, 2003-2004. Many cities indicated to us that they would prefer data that reflected the same fiscal year for both property tax and cost of service.
Cost of Library Service | $598,310
Total Contribution | $601,382
• Property Tax Contribution | $601,382
• Special Tax Contribution | -0-
Enclosed you will find additional data relating to the cost of service and a chart indicating the data for all the cities that we serve.
I am pleased to report that, thanks to the passage of Proposition 1A and the Board of Supervisors' continuing financial assistance, the County Library will have a stable budget for the coming fiscal year of 2005-2006.
As always, I will be happy to discuss any questions that you might have or provide additional information.
Sincerely,
Margaret Donnellan Todd
