RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA APPROVING CHANGES TO THE LIBRARY
MASTER FEE SCHEDULE
WHEREAS, as part of the Fiscal Year 2004 budget process the Library recommended
changes to its master fee schedule; and
WHEREAS, these changes include increasing the insurance charges for video/DVD and
the interlibrary loan fee, reducing the video/DVD insurance charge per item option; and
WHEREAS, also amending the lost item processing fee and overdue charges for video
tapes; and
WHEREAS, the Library Board of Trustees was scheduled to review this proposal at their
June 18 meeting, however, there was no quorum and the meeting was cancelled.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
does hereby approve the following changes to the library master fee schedule:
1. Increase the video/DVD annual insurance fee for borrowing videos/DVD's from
$15 to $20. This fee has not been increased since 1996. The $5 increase will ensure that
revenues are in line with those collected at other libraries within the Serra Cooperative
Library System.
2. Increase the imerlibrary loan fee from $1 to $5 per item. (interlibrary loans are
the borrowing and loaning of library materials to and from libraries outside of the City's
jurisdiction. This includes universities and out-of-state libraries.) The fee for this service
has not been increased in over 10 years. The increased fee will offset staff costs to
process and obtain interlibrary loans. The $5 per item fee is consistent with the fee
charged by San Diego Public Library.
3. Reduce the video/DVD per item transaction fee from $2 to $1. The reduction in
this per transaction fee should encourage greater usage of the video/DVD collection by
those customers who do not wish to purchase the annual fee, providing greater customer
service and increase overall revenues.
4. Limit the $12.50 lost item processing fee only to items that cost $12.50 or higher
and amend the overdue fines for videotapes ($1 per day/per item) to include DVD's.
Both changes in the master fee schedule reflect actual practice.
