into the King Coun~ Rural Libraft District
This agreement is dated the 26th day of November , 1996,
and is entered into by and between King County Rural Library District, hereinafter
referred to as DISTRICT, and the City of Auburn, hereinafter called CITY.
This agreement is to define the rights and obligations of the parties in the event
annexation of the CITY to the DISTRICT is approved at the special election to be held
in February 1997 or a subsequent election prior to May 31, 1997. If the annexation of
the CITY to the DISTRICT is not approved at such election(s), this Agreement shall be
of no further force or effect.
The parties agree as follows:
1. The DISTRICT will not realize any direct tax revenue for provision of library
services within the CITY until the 1998 calendar year. The CITY agrees to
fund the Auburn Library, located at 808 9th Street Southeast, Auburn, at
current service levels for the 1997 calendar year.
2. The DISTRICT has experience in managing numerous public library
construction projects and will work with CITY staff to develop the program
plan and manage the construction of the new Auburn Library. The project
schedule will be jointly determined by the CITY and the DISTRICT. It is the
intention of the DISTRICT and CITY to begin pre-design of a new library
facility in 1997 with construction to begin in 1998.
3. The CITY will provide the land for the new library and an appropriate number
of additional parking stalls from lands already owned or acquired for this
purpose. The CITY shall lease the land for the facility to the DISTRICT for
one dollar annually upon the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the
new library. A map of Les Gove Park showing the locations in the park
acceptable for new construction is included herein as Attachment A.
4. In addition to land, the CITY will provide an amount not to exceed $4 million
for the new facility. In addition the CITY will contribute all library equipment,
furnishings, and the entire collection from the Auburn Library as of
December 31, 1997 valued at $1.6 million. The DISTRICT will contribute a
minimum of $250,000 for the design and construction of the new facility.
The District will contribute whatever is necessary to complete a minimum
15,000 square foot facility.
5. The DISTRICT will be responsible to develop a minimum 15,000 square foot
resource-level library (but a larger facility is desired), adequate parking for
library patrons, and shall provide all furnishings and materials. The facility
will be designed to be expandable to 22,500+ square feet and all additional
costs for construction will be paid for by the DISTRICT.
EXHIBIT 1 TO Resolution No. 2784
6. Effective January 1, 1998 the DISTRICT will fund all operations,
maintenance, and other costs of the Auburn Library. The CITY will continue
to be responsible for grounds maintenance around the existing Auburn
Library. The City of Auburn will pay their fair share of major capital repairs to
operate the existing facility. Upon completion of the new library the CITY will
retain ownership of the old library building.
7. Beginning January 11998, the CITY will no longer be responsible for the
GO management of a library, and the staff of the Auburn Library will be absorbed
!:-
~ into the DISTRICT. The plan to incorporate Auburn Library staff into the
District is included herein as Attachment "B".
8. Title to all materials, furnishings, and equipment in the Auburn Library will be
transferred to the DISTRICT January 1, 1998. When the new facility is
completed, the collections should be comparable to other resource branch
collections. The Auburn Library has maintained special language
collections; a genealogical collection; a literacy program; and outreach for
low income, homebound, and elderly populations. The Auburn Library
Board recommends that these programs continue when the DISTRICT
assumes the operation of library services in our community.
EXHIBIT 1 TO Resolution No. 2784
9. The CITY has an active Library Board appointed by the Mayor, and should
the Mayor choose to continue the appointment of a Library Board during any
time period when the CITY is annexed to the DISTRICT, the DISTRICT shall
regularly solicit input from the Board on issues relating to all aspects of
library services and facilities for the residents of Auburn. The DISTRICT
shall also work with the Auburn Friends of the Library on projects relating to
this community library. The DISTRICT shall appoint a staff member to
attend all meetings of the Library Board and Friends of the Library.
