EQUIPMENT & FIXED ASSET
RECOMMENDATIONS
The installed equipment should be simple to use, easy to maintain, and not require a costly technician to make adjustments. On those occasions when the needs of an event exceed the capabilities of the equipment on site, such requirements can be met through rentals and the hiring of outside technicians, and would be incorporated into the budgets for in-house events or added to the rental fees charged to the outside user.
A preliminary estimate for the purchase and installation of recommended equipment is $350,000, which it is recommended be included in the capital improvement costs for the Hunt from its overall $5 million in State grants.
FINANCIAL MODEL
• Partner with a local cafe/catering company to provide administrative staff, daily operations, and revenue to support community programming.
• Collaborate with academic institutions and local nonprofits to execute a series of community discussions, lectures, and workshops with an emphasis on literacy, art and culture, urban agriculture, community engagement, education, technology and innovation, entrepreneurship, business and workforce development. • Connect with artists, galleries, museums, and local art groups to curate exhibitions, festivals, performances, and screenings.
The plan is for the Hunt Library operation to be sustainable after a three- to five-year launch period during which it will be necessary to subsidize start-up expenses. Funds for these initial expenses in the amount of $250,000 were approved in the State of California budget in July 2021 as requested by Senator Josh Newman and supported by Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva.
This Financial Model depends upon the assumption that major building maintenance, groundskeeping, parking lot and driveway maintenance, and library services would continue to be handled by the City of Fullerton.
