Resolution Establishing Library Levy County Administrator Witt reviewed how the library funding works. Explained two adjustments we have made in past years with reimbursement to injured libraries from the Hudson Joint Library rural circulation aid and the additional amounts we are distributing for hot spots. Administrator Witt further explained an alternative funding plan for the Hudson Joint Library that would require an agreement between the four members of the joint library and the County., whereby they would waive their exemption status and the County would levy additional funds for them at the same equalized mill rate calculated from the rural circulation numbers. Since the alternate plan requires additional approvals, Administrator Witt recommended adopting the resolution as presented, status quo, and amending it later if an agreement is reached by all parties. Discussion on whether funding library hot spots in this method was the best way. Moved by Ard, seconded by Peterson to recommend approval of the library funding resolution.
