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, La Conner, and Concrete, hereinafter
referred to as "Cities and Towns" .
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.
Skagit County, in 1992, has made funding available for a portion of
the costs to provide services to non-resident users.
In consideration of the facts listed above, the parties agree as
follows:
1. During 1992 the County will provide the Cities and Towns a
total sum of $120, 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, except La Conner and Concrete, which shall receive
$4 , 800 each.
2 . Based upon circulation and collection figures provided by the
Cities and Towns, the $120, 000 will be distributed as follows:
Mount Vernon $ 49 ,983
Anacortes $ 32 , 577
Burlington $ 13 , 207
Sedro Woolley $ 14 , 633
La Conner $ 4 , 800
Concrete $ 4 , 800
Total $120, 000

3 . Each of the Cities and Towns 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 Towns of Concrete and La Conner, pay at least $10 per
library card.
b) Copies of the 1991 and 1992 library budgets documenting
that city support of library services did not decrease
between 1991 and 1992 .
c) Documentation in the 1992 library budget indicating the
County library services payment will be used for 1992
library activities.
4 . All assets acquired as a result of this funding will become
the property of the respective City or Town. Each City or
Town will be responsible for all aspects of library operation.
5. The term of this agreement is January 1, 1992 to December 31,
1992 .
This Agreement is entered into this day of May, 1992 .
