 FY 2017 Budget
As of April 30, 2017, 58.1% of the fiscal year has elapsed.
DC Public Library (DCPL) Local obligations are at $36.1M or 61.8% of the total Local budget of
$58.4M. Gross obligations are at $38.2M or 62.3% of the total Gross Budget of $61.3M. The
Local budget is supported by tax and non-tax revenue that is not earmarked and is allocated

Special Purpose (or Other or O-Type), Private and Intra-District and encompasses the Districts
day-to-day activities.
Both the Local and Gross budgets are made up of two major categories: Personal Services (PS)
and Non-Personal Services.

overtime). The Librarys FY 2017 PS expenditures-to-date are at 56.0% of the Local ($24.4M) and
56.0% of the Gross ($24.6M) budgets, respectively, as compared to 58.0% and $24.3M of the
Local and $24.5M of Gross budgets, at the same time last year.
Non-Personal Services includes other than personnelrelated items, such as supplies, rent,
contracts and equipment. DCPLs NPS Local obligations are at 78.6% ($11.7M) of the Local
budget and 78.1% ($13.6M) of the Gross budget. FY 2017 NPS obligations are ahead of FY 2016
