Matthews and Associates, Inc. (JMA) proposes to provide consulting services to the public library jurisdictions of Marin County, to gather, analyze and present critical planning information and assist in the development of both countywide and individual library service goals and objectives. JMA will dedicate one hundred forty --two (142) days of consulting time to completion of the following tasks: 1. Collection and analysis of planning information; 2. Assessment of present and future library service needs; and 3. Development of short and long-range plans and schedules to meet those needs. The consultant team assigned to this project will consist of Joseph R. Matthews, Joan Frye Williams, Raymond Holt, and Falconi and Associates, Civil Engineers. The total cost for the study will not exceed $92,900. Additional assistance during the post -study implementation period will be available at the rate of $500 per day, plus expenses. J. Matthews and Associates, Inc. is uniquely qualified to assist the Marin County public library jurisdictions with this important project. The combined experience and expertise of our consultant team in areas of library planning, management, building assessment, and the application of technology will ensure a ii thorough needs assessment and analysis and a balanced presentation of key issues and recommendations. We know that our clients expect and deserve results, and are prepared to make this project our highest priority. iii OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT J. Matthews and Associates, Inc. (JMA) has read and understood all sections of the Marin County public library jurisdictions' Request for Proposals and is prepared to comply with all conditions and requirements described therein. We understand that public library services within Marin County are provided by six library. jurisdictions. Given the financial constraints being experienced by these jurisdictions and the changing information needs of library users and non-users, the six jurisdictions agree that there is a need to reassess existing services, project future trends, and establish realistic short term and long term library service goals, both within the separate jurisdictions and throughout the county as a whole. The six jurisdictions are seeking consultant assistance to provide the information needed for a coordinated planning effort and to develop realistic service goals and objectives. Specifically the consultant has been asked to complete work in three phases, as follows: Phase I. Analysis and Fact-finding. For each jurisdiction and countywide, JMA will identify and prepare an analysis of present and projected (five and ten year time spans): 1. Use patterns, services and service levels (quality and quantity); -� 4 1 ?S 2. User and non -user needs, including essential services not now provided, services for which the need may diminish, and new types of services which may be needed; 3. Demographic and economic trends which may affect the above; 4. Financial resources available and likely to be available; 5. Organization and staffing; 6. Automation; 7. Inter -jurisdictional cooperation, by functional area; 8. Distribution and location of library facilities; 9. Space utilization; 10. Structural adequacy (San Rafael and San Anselmo libraries only); and 11. Service imbalance/funding inequity between jurisdictions. Work on Phase I tasks will yield a comprehensive "database" of planning information, including -a thorough needs assessment and set of scenarios describing likely future characteristics of the library service environment. This integrated pool of information will enable the six jurisdictions to base service decisions on a set of common facts and assumptions, in a coordinated fashion. JMA's scope of investigation will be inclusive, recognizing that public libraries' services and activities are part of a larger information delivery context. Special attention will be given to anticipated changes in the information and communications industries likely to have a significant impact on the role of libraries in the community. 3 Phase II. Review and Evaluation of Phase I Data, Initial Formulation of Goals. JMA's next responsibility will be to review and synthesize Phase I data, and, through a series of working meetings with representatives of each jurisdiction, develop an initial formulation of long and short term goals and objectives. These goals and objectives will provide for the improvement and rationalization of complementary library services for each jurisdiction and countywide. These library plans will include recommended activities, as warranted and feasible, in each of the following areas: 1. Service changes; 2. Organizational and staffing changes; 3. Extension of automation; 4. Additional functional cooperation, and consolidation and minimization of duplicate services; 5. Relocation of facilities, closures, expansion, and space utilization improvements; 6. Optimum allocation of financial resources and exploration of new revenue sources, including fees for services, with an evaluation of the impact of proposed changes on classes of users and mitigation measures for negative impact. This analysis will include added tax potential if the contemplated June 1984 election is successful in one or more of the jurisdictions; 7. Recommended solution(s) to any service imbalances/funding inequities found; 4 8. Such other goals and objectives as may become apparent in the course of the review; and 9. Such alternatives as appear worthy of consideration. Phase II will conclude with a written report to the governing bodies of the six jurisdictions, and oral presentations before each of the governing bodies. The Phase II report will be written to provide useful information to the voters of those jurisdictions placing library tax measures on the June 1984 ballot. Time will be allowed for each jurisdiction to conduct public meetings and staff reviews as necessary to review these recommendations. Upon approval or modification of these recommended goals and objectives by each jurisdiction, JMA will becin work on Phase III of the project. Phase III. Development of Action Plans and Schedules. For each jurisdiction and countywide, JMA will assist with the development of action plans (including financing plans) and schedules of activities necessary to achieve the approved goals and objectives. Plans will be prepared in detail for the first five years and in broad/brush form for the coming ten years. Phase III will conclude with a final written report to and oral presentation before the governing bodies. This report will incorporate the Phase II report, as modified, together with detailed implementation plans and schedules. Following the completion of Phase III, JMA will be available for additional consulting assistance, on an as needed basis. It is our intention, however, that the products of this study will be sufficient in their own right to allow the jurisdictions -to proceed with implementation without undertaking an additional round of follow-on studies. THE WORK PROGRAM Phase I In order to complete the analysis and fact finding activities of F Phase I, JMA will perform tasks as outlined below. Recognizing that several aspects of the study process may occur concurrently, the Phase I study tasks can be broadly grouped into three categories: 1) Needs Assessment and Planning Process; 2) Space Utilization, and 3) Fiscal Issues. 1. Needs Assessment and Planning Process Information about the existing quality and quantity of library use, the pattern of library service delivery, and current service levels will be assessed, using information provided by the six jurisdictions and other local agencies as appropriate. Should information about patrons' geographic location be unavailable from one or more libraries, a map of Marin 5 'Z , Y .5 `, County will be provided to each library facility; during a sample period, patrons will be asked to place a mark on the map to indicate the location of their workplace and/or residence. This information will help us to determine which geographic areas of Marin County are or are not presently being served by the libraries. User and non -user needs will be assessed in two different ways. For users, a self-administered brief questionnaire will be distributed during random time periods to a sample of users of each library. This questionnaire will assess attitudes of the patron towards the variety and quality of library services as well as probe to determine unmet information needs. In addition, demographic information about the patron will be requested. A random public opinion telephone survey will be made within the boundaries of each library jurisdiction to help determine the information needs of non -library users. A stratified sample will be used to insure that a representative number of households from each jurisdiction is contacted to assure the accuracy of the statistical analysis. The Library Planning Study Oversight Committee will, of course, review drafts of the self-administered questionnaire and the telephone interview script. y A survey of staff members will also be conducted, to get their comments on library use as observed at service points throughout the county. Demographic and economic information from the County and Municipal Planning Departments will be gathered and analyzed. This information will be supplemented with data obtained from the U.S. Department of the Census, State Department of Finance, State Employment Development Department, and other public agencies as appropriate. Private sector information sources such as local communications providers, chambers of commerce, educational institutions and professional and charitable organizations will also be contacted and asked to share available data about present and future trends in area population, employment, and educational levels. Budget and staffing data for the previous five years in each of the libraries will be collected in order to develop a fiscal and human resources profile for each jurisdiction. The extent and nature of library automation activities within each library jurisdiction will be assessed. This information will be used to determine the cost effectiveness of existing automation applications and to identify additional functions which would benefit from 7 ' automation. Special attention will be given to cooperative automation projects and the evaluation of present activities in the light of identified service goals and recent and projected changes in the state of the art in computerized library services. Included in this assessment will be an analysis of computer linking and networking activities, as well as an examination of both current and future library telecommunications requirements. Inter --jurisdictional cooperation in a full range of functional areas will be assessed. JMA will review available data on the amount and kinds of resource sharing among the Marin County library jurisdictions. We will also look beyond gross numerical measures (such as numbers of interlibrary loans) to an assessment of the quality and depth of services provided by each of the libraries. Both complementary and duplicative services will be identified. The information drawn from these many sources will be integrated and analyzed to produce one set of consistent, comprehensive planning documents for each of the participating jurisdictions. This needs assessment and planning database will be prepared and presented by JMA in such a way that it may be used by the jurisdictions for planning and decision-making purposes beyond the scope of this study, if desired. 9 2. Space Utilization The distribution and location of library facilities will be compared to the present and projected distribution of population and workforce within Marin County. The usable space in each library facility will be determined and compared both with available standards and with an assessment of present and projected programmatic space needs. The structural adequacy of the San Rafael and San Anselmo libraries will be reviewed by the firm of Falconi and Associates, Registered Engineers, located in Auburn, California. They will prepare a separate written report } on the condition of each of the two facilities. Falconi and Associates have state-of-the-art experience and expertise in providing.civil engineering, construction and architectual services, including prior structural adequacy work for libraries. Finally, the possible re -location, closure, combination or expansion of library facilities will be addressed as a part of the space utilization study. 3. Fiscal Review The quality and quantity of services provided by each of the library jurisdictions will be compared to the available funding for each jurisdiction in order to determine the presence (and extent) or absence of current LI -i- * 4 3 10 funding inequities. Should any service imbalances and/or funding inequities be found to exist, a range of equalization strategies will be explored and the consultants will recommend one or more possible solutions. These recommendations will address, an appropriate, issues such as the transfer of funds between jurisdictions, contracts for library services, consolidation of libraries, and library boards and governance. The allocation of existing financial resources and possibilities for new revenue sources, including fees for service, will be thoroughly examined. One avenue which JMA will investigate is to present to the voters in 1984 a coordinated information program, explaining the quality and quantity of existing library services, the financial constraints presently faced by the library jurisdictions, and the service implications of a tax increase. Though J. Matthews and Associates, Inc. is sometimes characterized as a high technology/automation consulting firm, we would like to emphasize our significant prior experience in exploring creative financial alternatives for libraries. For example, we are currently assisting libraries in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota to create a non-profit corporation to provide 11 selected library services. At our suggestion this group is also exploring the use of a Limited Partnership, both to derive significant income tax savings for the participating investors and to provide the necessary capital for projects designed to to improve library services. Consultant team members are well versed in current developments and strategies for public sector budgeting, fundraising and finance. Information gathered during Phase I and the resulting data analysis will be presented in a separate report for each jurisdiction, with a countywide overview and summary. This report will integrate the results of the needs assessment and planning process activities, the space utilization study, and the review of fiscal issues and options. Phase II The experience of libraries which have gone through the needs assessment and planning process to date suggests that the primary focus of activity should not be on data gathering but rather on the philosophies and policies associated with library service goals and objectives. A major purpose of the Phase I data analysis and fact finding activities, therefore, will be to set the scene for, highlight and clarify the implications of the major library service goals and their associated objectives, which will be developed during phase II of the study. Major service goals will be developed in a series of intensive working meetings with representatives of each library jurisdiction. JMA will provide senarios and issue briefs to be used by these representatives in preparation for the working sessions. During these meetings the results of the needs assessment and data analysis will be used by each library jurisdiction to explore the implications of alternative library service goals, given present and future community characteristics, demographic and economic trends, user and non -user needs, etc.. Once major library service goals have been identified, objectives for improving and rationalizing library services for each jurisdiction -and on a countywide basis will be explored in.the context of a series of scenarios. Each scenario will identify recommended service changes, with associated organizational and staffing requirements, the implications for alteration or expansion of facilities, opportunities for cost effective automation, and the need for functional cooperation and/or consolidation in order to minimize unnecessary duplication of services. Throughout this process the consultants will draw upon their knowledge of the planning process as recommended by the Public Library Association, as well as the best of the planning reports which have been prepared by other libraries across the U.S. The 1,hase II activities, i.e., the initial formulation of goals and objectives along with an exploration of alternative service 12 y 13 programs, will conclude with a report to the governing bodies of the six jurisdictions. This written report will be prepared in a series of drafts, each of which will incorporate new sections based on the analysis of data gathered to date and the decisions reached by each library jurisdiction. We expect each jurisdiction to be responsible for discussing draft materials with its staff and the community, and sharing their feedback with the consultant study team. In addition, the Phase II written report will include an executive summary designed to be distributed as an information package to voters of those jurisdictions placing library tax measures on the June 1984 ballot. A final Phase II report will also be presented orally before each library jurisdiction's governing body. I 'n1 - TTT This phase of the project, the development of action plans and schedules, will focus on the preparation of a comprehensive written implementation report. The action plan will include schedules of activities, including financing options, needed to achieve approved service goals and objectives in each jurisdiction and countywide. Each section of the action plan will be presented in detail for the first five years and in more general terms for the activities to occur between years five and ten. Implementation will be planned as a series of phases or modules, and tasks will be organized in such a way that failure to complete one step will not bring other implementation activities to a standstill. Again, drafts of the action plan sections will be prepared in time to be thoroughly reviewed by the Library Planning y -L -iWI Study Oversight Committee and by staff and interested parties in each library jurisdiction. Each draft action plan will then incorporate suggested revisions. This study phase will culminate in an oral presentation before the governing board of each library jurisdiction. 14 STUDY METHODOLOGIES The Consultant Team will employ such methodologies and techniques as may be best suited to the individual study tasks; these will include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following: Utilization of Available Data Review, study, and analysis of all data supplied by the individual libraries, local governments, and other sources. Statistical Analysis Analysis of statistical data for purposes of comparison and evaluation of the six library jurisdictions. Construction of Demographic Profiles Demographic profiles will be established for the purpose of comparing and understanding the people living and working in each library jurisdiction. These profiles will utilize data provided by such agencies as the planning offices of the City and County governments and the State of California, as well as private sector information resources. Questionnaires A variety of questionnaires will be employed, ranging from those required for the user and non -user needs assessment program to those needed for staff members. Questionnaires will also be used to update information where necessary and to provide a useful source of current information for analysis. 15 Interviews Both structured and informal interviews will be used as a means for gathering information. Members of the consultant study team will conduct both individual and group interviews of selected library staff, government officials, and other interested parties. Such interviews shall be arranged in advance and conducted at mutual convenience. visits Visits by the consultant study team will be relied upon as a valuable source of information. The consultant will visit all Marin County public library facilities. A sample of Marin County academic, school and special libraries will also be visited to obtain first hand information and impressions. Comparative Analysis Where appropriate, data representing resources and activities in the six library jurisdictions will be compared with information and/or statistics acquired from other libraries possessing similar characteristics: size, service areas, etc. Such comparisons are most likely to be used to provide a frame of reference for data such as staff workloads, facility development, etc. Observation Since the members of the study team are experienced and capable observers of the library scene, their impressions gathered during field work and documented by field notes will be a valuable source of information. 17 REPORTS AND REPORTING The following reporting methods and schedule are proposed in the belief that reporting is essential to maintain the necessary communication between Client and Consultant: Monthly Study Sessions With the Library Planning Study Oversight Committee The consultant will meet monthly with the members of the Library Planning Study Oversight Committee to report on the progress of the study and to work on goals and objectives. These meetings will be scheduled in advance, at a mutually convenient time and place, to provide an opportunity for the consultant's report and for an exchange of pertinent views and information. Monthly Progress Reports Brief progress reports will be written and provided to the client at monthly intervals. These progress reports will summarize work done to date and work in progress. Six copies of each report will be provided for distribution. Study Sessions With City and County Officials Occasional study sessions - perhaps every other month - with interested members of Library Boards, City Councils and County Board of Supervisors, as well as City and County administrative staff, are suggested as a means for keeping local officials aware of findings, tentative conclusions, and recommendations during the 18 course of the study. Such sessions provide a place for the informal exchange of views which can facilitate the understanding of study recommendations and promote their implementation. Master Plan Study Report (Phase II product) The findings, conclusions and recommendations arrived at during the course of this study will be presented in the form of a Master Plan Report, with sections for each library jurisdiction and a countywide overview and summary. The plan will present demographic information, survey results and the data analysis prepared for each library jurisdiction. A countywide library role statement and the goals adopted by the library, together with each goal's corresponding set of objectives, will also be presented. Fifty (50) copies of this report will be provided for distribution. Action Plan Report (Phase III product) An Action Plan to achieve the approved goals and objectives will be prepared for each library jurisdiction and countywide. The Action Plan will include schedules and financing plans for both the 5 year and 10 year time horizons. One hundred (100) copies of this report will be provided for distribution. SCHEDULE OF ACTIVITIES The time schedule as outlined in the Marin County public library jurisdictions' Request for Proposals is acceptable to J. Matthews and Associates, Inc.; our study design was prepared with this schedule in mind. We consider this study to be a major contribution to the practical exploration of important modern day library service issues and expect the results to be significant both to the participants and to the library community as a whole. For this reason we are prepared to give this project our highest priority. During the one year work period the consultant will meet monthly with the Library Planning Study Oversight Committee to report progress and to receive suggestions. Where possible these monthly progress report meetings will coincide with scheduled reviews of written draft materials,. CONSULTANT STUDY TEAM The Work Plan, as previously described, will be carried out by a qualified Consultant Study Team, directed and coordinated by the lead consultant. The lead consultant for this engagement will be Joseph R. Matthews, Managing Director of J. Matthews and Associates, Inc., Mr. Matthews will be assisted by Joan Frye Williams, project 19 20 consultant for J. Matthews and Associates, Inc., and by Raymond'M. Holt, a former public library director and recognized authority on planning for library buildings. Mr. Matthews, with an MBA from the University of California, has experience in the planning and delivery of information services for a number of different organizations. He has provided consulting assistance to libraries for more than seven years and has written extensively in the area of planning and managing technology in the library environment. Ms. Williams has considerable experience in providing consulting assistance to the library community. As Coordinator of the California Library Serivices Act (CLSA) Program, she planned and managed the implementation of statewide legislative goals for improving library services and resource sharing. She developed long and short range service plans, administrative regulations, service measurements and funding strategies used by California's fifteen regional cooperative library systems. She conducted research and prepared all planning and decision-making documents for the thirteen -member California Library Services Board. She also designed the California Statewide Bibliographic Database and assisted libraries throughout the state in its phased implementation. Ms. Williams is a capable writer, with the ability to present complex technical issues clearly, in the context of larger fiscal, managerial and service concerns. She understands the need for 21 each autonomous library jurisdiction to balance cooperative service goals and objectives with its own unique needs, resources, and priorities. Her reports, presentations and action plans have proven to be very useful to governing bodies, citizens, management and technical personnel. Ray Holt has managed a full-time library consultant practice, offering a variety of services to public and academic libraries, including needs assessments, long-range planning, management, services and operations analysis, facility evaluation, and building programs. He has developed a user -oriented basis for library studies and anchors his analysis in a exposition of demographic characteristics related to library use. His studies always include practical plans and guidelines for implementation, including suggested action schedules. In the field of facility analysis and library building planning, Mr. Holt offers a wide range of experience, from small branch libraries to central library headquarters buildings. In addition, he has prepared detailed building programs for library projects of various sizes and types, including remodeling/expansion and new buildings for both public and academic libraries. 22 Falconi and Associates, the subcontractor which will provide the necessary structural adequacy review and written reports, has completed inspections of buildings of all types to assess their structural condition. Studies of this type have been completed for the Grass Valley Public Library and the Lincoln Public Library. In addition, Falconi and Associates provides city engineer, building inspection and plan checking services on a contract basis for several cities. Figure 1 illustrates the relationships among the members of the Consultant Study Team. Resume's and references for Mr. Matthews and Ms. Williams, Mr. Holt and Falconi and Associates are attached as an Appendix to this proposal. w Figure 1 Organization Table for the Consultant Study Team Library Planning Study Oversight Committee The Consultant Joseph R.

OUR EXPECTATIONS OF TEE MARIN COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY JURISDICTIONS The on-site data collection period will constitute an intensive immersion in the Marin County public library service environment. Participating libraries will need to assist the consultant study team with preparations for and scheduling of local meetings and interviews. In addition to its representative to the Library Planning Study Oversight Committee, it is highly recommended that each jurisdiction designate a staff liaison to the project, who will be responsible for directing information flow within the library and the community, and following up to make sure materials are distributed, data is gathered and questions are clarified in a timely manner. We estimate these liaison tasks would require, on 26 average, one to two hours per week throughout the study period. In addition, individual professional staff members in each library can expect to spend between ten and forty hours on study activities (e.g., completing questionnaires, interviews) over the twelve month period; library administrators and key department heads should expect to devote approximately one d'ay each month. Members of the Library Planning Study Oversight Committee will probably need to schedule two to three days per month to complete study activities successfully. The final products of this study can only be as good as the concerted effort expended to prepare them. The cooperation of participating libraries in scheduling interviews, responding to questionnaires, providing information by established deadlines, preparing for meetings, and providing input during meetings will be essential to the success of this project. While on-site the consultant study team will need the use of a desk, chair and telephone in each of the six Marin County public library jurisdictions. 2-7 En rr w n rr I C b Q, m 0 N G � � CJ' (D I--' :3 rD rr En N 0 C n A (D 0 0 0 \ 0 En 0) n A "d 00 r• Cr -"L7 (D (D " 0 O IZ 0 C rrGC(D wr(DN rt, (D m H.
