L-2. BUDGET INCREASE TO CONVERT THE MESA PUBLIC LIBRARIES TO POLARIS AUTOMATION SYSTEM Authorize an increase to the FY 2008-09 Library District (650) Library District Fund (244) Non-Recurring/Non-Project (0001) expenditure budget in the amount of $252,650 to convert the Mesa Public Libraries from their current Library Automation System to the Polaris Automation System. The conversion was negotiated two years ago and is now ready for implementation. This is in conjunction with the Library District's "Plan of Service" approved by the Library District Board of Directors on May 2, 2007 (C-65-07-033-M). The $252,650 is the necessary funding for the one-time implementation of the Polaris Automation System in Mesa’s Libraries. Future recurring maintenance charges will be included in the Library District FY 200910 and future budget requests. These adjustments result in a net impact of zero and do not change the duly adopted budget as approved by the Board of Directors.

The District has valid licenses to run the Polaris software on the current WIN 2003 Server. The license does not prohibit the District from adding additional libraries. (C-65-09-014-3-00)
