SUBJECT: PCSA FY2011 : 2008 Equalized Valuation and Municipal Support for
Library Service
With the publication of the Certification of the Table of Equalized Valuation
for 2008 in October 2008, each library can determine the amount of municipal
support necessary during 2009 to achieve particular per capita state library
aid categories ($.50 to $1.50). The support can include dedicated tax
payments in those counties where the municipality contributes to the
support of a county library system, expenses incurred by the municipality in
support of the public library not specifically appropriated to the
library, and the budgeted appropriation.
The total municipal support during 2009 is divided by the 2008 Equalized
Valuation in calculating the per capita aid to be paid in October 2010.
Based on the 2008 Equalized Valuation for your municipality
( $1,013,724,794), the minimum municipal support needed:
To earn $.50 per capita is $491
To earn $.75 per capita is $202,745
To earn $1.00 per capita is $253,431
To earn $1.25 per capita is $337,908
To earn $1.50 per capita is $506,862
The 1/3 mil funding level is $1.25. The alternate minimum for municipal
libraries is prior year 1/3 mill plus 15%, ( $392,521), and will
earn $1.25 per capita.
It is not possible for the State Library to estimate the apportionment
of per capita aid for those libraries which are members of a county
library. The additional amounts expended by the county library which are
credited to the member municipalities in their total expenses also cannot
be calculated as it varies from year to year.

To earn $1.00 per capita is $962,255
To earn $1.25 per capita is $1,283,005
To earn $1.50 per capita is $1,924,509
The 1/3 mil funding level is $1.25. The alternate minimum for municipal
libraries is prior year 1/3 mill plus 15%, ($1,457,899), and will
earn $1.25 per capita.
It is not possible for the State Library to estimate the apportionment
of per capita aid for those libraries which are members of a county
library. The additional amounts expended by the county library which are
credited to the member municipalities in their total expenses also cannot
be calculated as it varies from year to year.

SUBJECT: PCSA FY2011 : 2008 Equalized Valuation and Municipal Support for
Library Service
With the publication of the Certification of the Table of Equalized Valuation
for 2008 in October 2008, each library can determine the amount of municipal
support necessary during 2009 to achieve particular per capita state library
aid categories ($.50 to $1.50). The support can include dedicated tax
payments in those counties where the municipality contributes to the
support of a county library system, expenses incurred by the municipality in
support of the public library not specifically appropriated to the
library, and the budgeted appropriation.
The total municipal support during 2009 is divided by the 2008 Equalized
Valuation in calculating the per capita aid to be paid in October 2010.
Based on the 2008 Equalized Valuation for your municipality
( $1,888,649,537), the minimum municipal support needed:
To earn $.50 per capita is $12,050
To earn $.75 per capita is $377,730
To earn $1.00 per capita is $472,162
To earn $1.25 per capita is $629,549
To earn $1.50 per capita is $944,325
The 1/3 mil funding level is $1.25. The alternate minimum for municipal
libraries is prior year 1/3 mill plus 15%, ( $682,094), and will
earn $1.25 per capita.
