SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Adopting Revised Library Fine and Fee Schedule
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Currently, the Moorpark City Library has two black and white vending copy machines which
were acquired from the County when the Library was established in January, 2007. Staff
budgeted for a replacement vending copy machine in the Fiscal Year 2013-14 Operating
Budget and is ready to proceed with the purchase. The one replacement copier being
purchased is a color copy machine which will give patrons at the library the added option of
choosing to make a color copy. The second black and white unit will remain as is.
Most of the volume of patron use will continue to be printing from the public computers;
however, there are times when a patron (often students or children) wants to make a color
copy from. a book or other material and previously this was not an option. The proposed
cost of a color copy at 25¢ per page will cover all associated costs for making the copy.
The current vending system attached to the copy machine will be upgraded to
accommodate the second fee selection for color copies. Staff has taken into consideration
that the 25¢ charge is less than what a member of the public would pay if they had their
copies made at a retail store; however, since the copy machines are vending units no staff
time will be needed for a patron to make a copy. Staff time is required for printing material
at the library due to the printer location behind the circulation desk. Staff is recommending
25¢ per page not only for monetary reasons but for ease of use when paying for copies. A
patron will be able to copy 10 black and white pages or 4 color pages for $1.00.
The proposed modification to the Library Fine and Fee Schedule Resolution (Attached) is
to add a copy fee for a color 8 Y2" x 11" page at 25¢ per page.
