Latest version.
  • There is hereby established a special revenue fund to be known as the Library Fines Revenue Fund , the "Fund." All funds and interest thereon received by the Jacksonville Public Library that arise out of the revenue generated from the collection of fines shall be deposited in the Fund and shall be accounted for separately within the Fund.

    Sums now or hereafter placed into the Fund, which shall include all interest earned or accrued thereon, shall be appropriated within the City Budget annually for the purposes of capital improvements or maintenance of capital improvements. The funds shall not be used for operating costs associated with regular library functions. The Director of Finance and Administration, or their designee, is authorized and directed to make disbursements from the Fund upon the written requisition of the Library Board of Trustees, subject to the availability of funds in the Fund, and annual appropriation. Any unspent funds remaining from an appropriated City budget and/or unencumbered in the Fund at the end of the fiscal year shall not lapse and shall carry forward. The Fund shall be reviewed annually as part of the budget process. Within 60 days of the end of each fiscal year, the Chairperson of the Trustees (or the Chairperson's designee) shall file with the Council Secretary and the Council Auditor a statement of all of the previous year's revenues and expenditures from the Fund.
