 CY 2026 Monthly Financial Update
 Month Ending January 31, 2026
 Preliminary: Subject to Audit)


Where We Stand
Overall, the library is slightly ahead compared to the approved budget.

So far this year, we are spending less than expected for this point in time. Money coming in is higher than expected, and
we have enough cash on hand to comfortably pay our bills.

Since this is the first month of the year, results mainly reflect timing. Some spending occurs later in the year, and some
money comes in earlier. At this point, this does not change our overall expectations for the year.

Money Coming In
 So far this year, we have received $ 571,805, compared to $499,732 planned.
 This month’ s results were mainly influenced by:
 o Property tax coming in slightly higher than planned.
 Differences from the plan are due to when money arrives during the year, not because we expect to receive less
 overall.
Summary: Money received is slightly higher than expected.

Money Going Out
 So far this year, we have spent $756,806, compared to $1,163,299 planned.
 Spending overall is below the plan.
 A few things worth noting:
 o Staff pay and benefits: Spending looks normal based on our staffing plan.
 o Other costs: No items stand out this month.
Summary: We spent less than planned so far, which is typical early in the year.

Staffing Overview
 Our staffing levels remain within the approved budget.
 Changes this month:
 o Two hires were made in January, both of which were budgeted.
 o The month ended with one position open.
Summary: Staffing activity falls within planned budget with no surprises.

Cash on Hand
 We have enough cash available to cover day-to-day expenses.
 We do not expect any difficulty paying bills in the coming months.
Summary: The library can comfortably cover its expenses.

Looking Ahead
Over the next few months, staff will keep an eye on:
 Upcoming software renewals, which will occur later in the year and will increase spending at that time
 Property tax revenue, to ensure collections continue to align with expectations

Fayetteville Public Library Staff Parking Permit Guidelines


Effective February 1, 2026


PURPOSE


The purpose of the Staff Parking Permit Guidelines isnot to limit staff in any way, but to
support staff safety and help ensure that employees have a reliable place to park when they
come to work.

These guidelines are intended to protect staff access to parking during work hours, reduce long -
term non-library use of library parking spaces, and create a safer, more predictable parking
experience for everyone.


WORK-IN-PROGRESS


These guidelines are a work in progress and part of a broader, evolving approach to addressing
parking challenges around the library. Staff feedback is welcome, and adjustments may be made
as we learn what works best.


WHO NEEDS A PERMIT


All FPL staff who park in library-designated staff parking areas, including:


 Parking Deck
 South Lot


A valid staff parking permit is required for vehicles parked in designated staff parking areas
during library operating hours.


Active enforcement occurs during posted hours, as indicated by on-site signage.


PARKING PERMIT OPTIONS & DISPLAY GUIDELINES


Staff may choose one of the following permit options:


 Hanging Permit – Hung from the rearview mirror and clearly visible from outside the
 vehicle
 Window Cling – Recommended placement: rear window
 Bumper Sticker


To assist Facilities during routine checks, staff are encouraged to park in a way that makes their
permit most visible:


 If using a hanging permit, backing into the parking space may improve visibility




 18
 If using a window cling or bumper sticker, pulling forward into spaces may improve
 visibility


These suggestions are intended to improve visibility and assist Facilities. Occasional variations
in how a vehicle is parked—due to space availability, accessibility needs, unloading materials,
or other reasonable circumstances— are expected and acceptable.


LICENSE PLATE REGISTRATION ( REQUIRED)


When picking up a parking permit, staff must provide license plate information for the
vehicle( s) they plan to use. Staff may register more than one vehicle if needed, and license
plate information must be provided for each vehicle.


Please notify Human Resources if your vehicle or license plate information changes. Email
notification is sufficient, including during evenings or weekends , and updates will be handled
during regular business hours. This process is intended to keep records accurate and is not
designed for immediate enforcement action.


ENFORCEMENT, SIGNAGE & PURPOSE


Parking enforcement begins February 1, 2026.


Updated signage will indicate either " Staff Parking Only" or "Library Parking Only," as
appropriate, with posted library and staff usage hours. Signage will vary by location to reflect
the intended use of each parking area.


ENFORCEMENT FOCUS


This process is designed to support staff, not penalize them . Enforcement efforts are primarily
focused on vehicles that use library parking spaces for extended, non-library purposes, rather
than on staff or patrons using the library appropriately.


This is different from patrons who park in the South Lot to access the Greenway or other short -
term, appropriate uses of library parking.


The goal is to recognize the many legitimate reasons people use library parking
while maximizing availability for library patrons and staff , particularly during busy hours.


Staff are not the focus of enforcement and should not experience this process as punitive.


STAFF PARKING LOCATIONS


To help maximize parking availability for patrons, staff are asked to park in designated staff
spaces on the bottom level of the parking garage or in the south parking lot during their shift.




 19
During large events or particularly busy times, staff may choose to consider nearby street
parking only if they feel it is safe and reasonable to do so . Staff should never feel obligated to
park in a location that feels unsafe, inconvenient, or unsuitable for their individual
circumstances.


Staff safety and accessibility are always the priority , and these guidelines are intended to
support—not override—those considerations.


Staff are never expected to park in areas that compromise their personal safety or accessibility
needs.


IMPLEMENTATION PERIOD


During the first 30 days, the focus will be oneducation, communication, and reminders as
everyone becomes familiar with the process.


Vehicles parked without a valid, visible permit after the implementation period may be subject
to enforcement actions, including towing, particularly in staff -designated areas. This will be for
non-staff parked in Staff designated parking.


If a staff member forgets a permit or experiences an issue displaying it, they should contact HR.


Staff may register more than one vehicle if needed. License plate information must be provided
for each vehicle to ensure accurate records.


IMPORTANT NOTES


 Staff parking permits are not transferable to family members or non- library vehicles
 Permits are issued to active FPL employees only
 Permits may change annually ( including color or format) to support enforcement
 Permits must be returned or deactivated upon separation from employment


STAFF PARKING FAQ & TALKING POINTS


 Staff will receive a Parking FAQ and set of talking points designed to help
 answer common patron questions when parking is limited, the library is extremely
 busy, or large events are taking place.
 This resource is intended to provide clear, consistent, and supportive language so staff
 are not put in the position of explaining policies, enforcing parking rules, or resolving
 parking disputes.
 The FAQ is a communication tool only and is meant to support welcoming, respectful
 interactions during high-traffic periods.


QUESTIONS OR UPDATES




 20
For questions, permit pickup, or vehicle updates, staff may contact Human Resources:


 Patty Burchett – pburchett@faylib.org
 Shelton Brister – sbrister@faylib. org


Thank you for your patience, feedback, and partnership as we continue to refine this process
together.




 Why This Exists


 Parking around the library can be challenging during busy days and large events. These
 guidelines are intended to protect staff access to parking, support safety, and help
 ensure the library can operate smoothly— while continuing to welcome patrons,
 programs, and community gatherings. This permit system is one part of a broader,
 shared effort to balance access, fairness, and safety.
