MEMORANDUM
www.kenai.city
TO: Mayor Brian Gabriel and Kenai City Council
THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager �?p .
FROM: Mary Jo Joiner
DATE: 13 June 2017
SUBJECT: Library Fee Schedule
Please see the attached resolution to adjust the fee schedule for equipment rental at the library.
Due to issues with return of city equipment we are proposing a daily rental fee of $3.00 which is
modest. We are also suggesting a deposit of $50 on this equipment. Our projectors have a value
of $1,100 and we love sharing them with the community, but we are having issues with people
checking them out and not returning them in a timely manner. In one case, a customer kept it for
three months and only returned it under duress. We believe the refundable deposit will keep this
from happening.
