Agenda Staff Report

MEETING DATE

AGENDA ITEM NUMBER
6.
 TO:
Mayor Benetti and City Councilors

 
 FROM: 
Sami Pierson, Library Director

 
 THROUGH:
Rodger Craddock, City Manager 

 
 ISSUE:Consideration to Accept Contract for Library Services 
 SUMMARY:

Each year, the eight public libraries in Coos County enter into a contract with the Coos County Library Services District for library services.  The annual contract contains, in part, the tax distribution formula for the libraries and the contractual amount for Extended Services Office.  The contract is for July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023.

 
 ACTION REQUESTED:

If it pleases Council, staff recommends approving the contract and authorize the City Manager to sign the contract.

 
 BACKGROUND:

In 1992, the voters overwhelmingly approved the formation of the Coos County Library District and the establishment of a permanent tax base for the taxing district. Coos County collects the tax base dollars and distributes them to the cities, the Dora Library, and the fiscal agent for the Extended Services Office (at this time that is City of Coos Bay).

 
 BUDGET IMPLICATIONS:

The 2022-2023 Coos Bay Public Library budget includes an estimated $1,220,000 in revenue from the Library District to cover operational expenses.  The contract also provides $653,500 to operate the Extended Services Office.
