Toronto Public Library – Operating Budget (Recommendation 255):
That City Council delete Recommendation 255 and adopt instead the following recommendation:
Recommendation 255 to be deleted:
255. City Council request the Toronto Public Library Board to meet the revised reduction of $3.890 million from new revenue sources and service efficiencies, such service efficiencies not to include any reduction in open hours, and report back to Budget Committee prior to the 2013 Budget process on how the unspecified reductions were achieved on a sustainable basis.
New Recommendation:
The remaining unspecified reductions in the Library Budget of $3.890 be reversed and offset by a draw of $3.890 from the Tax Stabilization Reserve to preserve current service hours, programs and books/materials.
