Proposed Resolution No. R26-170- Approving the updated Boynton Beach City Library Long Range Plan for Fiscal Years 2026-2031.
Requested Action:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Resolution No. R26-170.
Explanation of Request:
The Florida Department of State requires the City Commission to formally approve the Library Long Range Plan, which includes a Technology Plan, in order for the City to remain eligible for State Aid to Libraries Grants. This approval ensures that the Library’s strategic and technological planning aligns with state requirements and maintains the City’s qualification for ongoing library grant funding.
How will this affect city programs or services?
Approval will qualify the Library to apply for State Aid to Libraries Grants. This plan does not commit the City to any additional budgetary commitments beyond those addressed in the Technology section and already requested in the FY 2026-2027 Budget Request.
Fiscal Impact:
State Aid to Libraries Grants bring additional library resources to the community (estimated grant amount $36,704 for FY 2026-2027). The Technology Plan expenses are all addressed in the existing budget request. No additional funds are included nor requested in this plan.
