Our county uses the current year s library appropriations, not the prior year s operating expenditures in the formula used to determine unit cost for reimbursement. Is this acceptable?
Perhaps. Your county must fund and be able to demonstrate it is funding each library at a level of at least 70% of cost using the prior year s operating expenditures (minus federal expenditures) to determine cost. As long as this minimum level is met, the county can distribute funds according to any formula specified in the county library plan.
