 FY 2009 Budget Status
• The District remains under Continuing Resolution (CR) (P.L. 110-329).
• Recently, the OCFO reported an additional $127.1M revenue shortfall over
and above the $131M shortfall reported in the September revenue estimate.
• As a part of the citywide effort to offset the September decrease in FY 2009
revenues, DCPL’s FY 2009 budget now reflects the two adopted reductions:
1) $89K in telecommunications; and 2) $442K from furniture, fixtures and
equipment (FFE). The $442K cut may be restored should revenues, based
on the February 2009 revenue projection, get back on track.
• With 26% of the fiscal year elapsed, 24% of the personnel services (PS)
budget and 59% of the non-personnel services (NPS) have been obligated.
• DCPL’s PS spending is projected within budget, with a 1.5% forecasted
surplus. To expend these funds, additional matching FTE authority will be
requested.
• The increase of $424K in federal budget authority reflects the carryover
balances of the Library Services Construction Act (LSCA) Grant and the
National Endowment for the Humanities Grant.
