SECOND STREET,ROOM 202 MOUNT VERNON,WA 98273 INTERLOCAL COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT FOR LIBRARY SERVICES This Interlocal Cooperative Agreement for Library Services is entered into between Skagit County, hereinafter referred to as the "County", and the City of Anacortes, hereinafter referred to as the"City"pursuant to RCW 39.34. This Agreement is based upon the following facts and circumstances: • The County does not, nor is it required by statute to provide general library services to the citizens residing in unincorporated Skagit County. • Historically, each of the Cities and Town has provided library services to residents and nonresidents alike. • Depending upon the policies in each of the Cities and Town, non-residents have paid a fee for library services. • Due to increasing competition for funding and increasing library usage, the Cities and Town are having difficulty providing services to residents and non-residents. • The County, in 2004, has made funding available for a portion of the costs to provide services to non-resident users of libraries located within the Cities and Town. In consideration of the facts listed above, the parties agree as follows: 1. During 2004 the County will provide the City a total sum of $15,198 to assist in providing library services to the citizens of unincorporated Skagit County. The sum will be distributed to the City based upon the library book, audio, film, video and subscription collection and circulation of each municipal library. 2. None of the County funds received by the City may be used to supplant funding that the City would otherwise provide for library services. The City will receive its payment for library services when and only when the following information has been provided to the County: A) Documentation that non-resident library users pay at least $10 per library card; B) Documentation in the 2004 City budget indicating the County services payment will be used for 2004 library activities for the express benefit of non-resident library users; C) Documentation that shows the City's budget amendment expressing the addition of these funds to the present 2004 adopted City budget. If this allocation was incorporated into the current fiscal year budget, documentation that shows that this allocation is an increase from the 2003 budget; and D) Final audited financial records to show that these funds are being used in the manner specified. 3. It is agreed that any portion not used for its intended purpose will be returned to the County within a reasonable time period after the close of the fiscal year. 4. All assets acquired as a result of this funding will become the property of the City. The City will be responsible for all aspects of library operation. 5.
