Selected Comments from Respondents
“$67,500 of start-up costs was for a camera. Ongoing costs are based on FY2006 data.”
“At the moment, cost is included with the current library operational budget and is not tracked separately.”
“Figures above are primarily for equipment and vendor services. There are additional ongoing expenditures
for staff and benefits that are not included in the above figure. Start-up funds were contributed at different
times.”
