INTERLOCAL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
FOR
LIBRARY SERVICES
This Interlocal Cooperative Agreement for Library Service is entered into between Skagit County,
hereinafter referred to as "County", and the municipalities of Mount Vernon, Anacortes, Burlington, Sedro
Woolley, and Concrete, hereinafter referred to as"Cities and Towns", and the LaConner Rural Partial County
Library District, hereinafter referred to as "District".
This Agreement is based upon the following facts and circumstances:
The County does not, nor is it required by statute, to provide a general library service to the citizens residing
in unincorporated Skagit County.
Historically, each of the Cities and Towns has provided library service to residents and non-residents alike.
Depending upon the policies in each of the Cities and Towns, non-residents have paid a fee for library
services.
Due to increasing competition for funding and increasing library usage, the Cities and Towns are having
difficulty providing services to residents and non-residents alike.
In 1993 votes within the LaConner School District approved establishment of the LaConner Rural Partial
County Library District, thereby establishing a funding mechanism for the years 1995 and beyond.
The County, in 1994, has made funding available for a portion of the costs to provide services to non-
resident users of libraries located in the Cities and Towns, and a one-time service payment to the District.
In consideration of the facts listed above, the parties agree as follows:
1. During 1994 the County will provide the Cities,Towns and District a total sum of $100,000 to assist
in providing library services to the citizens of unincorporated Skagit County. This sum will be
distributed to the Cities and Towns based upon the library book collection and circulation of each
municipal library, and Concrete, which shall receive $4,000 each and the District which will receive
one-time payment of $10,000.
2. Based upon circulation and collection figures provided by the Cities and Towns, the $100,000 will
be distributed as follows:
Mount Vernon $ 41,895
Anacortes $ 27,228
Burlington $ 11,196
Sedro Woolley $ 11,682
Concrete $ 4,000
District $ 10,000
Total $106,001
3. Each of the Cities,Towns,and District will receive its payment for library services when the following
information is provided to the County:
a) Documentation that non-resident library users, except in the Town of Concrete and the
District, pay at least $10 per library card.

services did not decrease between 1993 and 1994.
c) Documentation in the 1994 library budget indicating the County library services payment
