Danville for the Danville Library at 400 Front Street (1996 Agreement); and
WHEREAS, under the terms of that use agreement the Town assumed ownership and
maintenance responsibility for the Library site, building, furnishings and equipment used to
provide service to the public, while the County was solely responsible for delivering library
services; and
WHEREAS, the 2006 Contra Costa County Library Master Plan recommends that the terms
and conditions under which each of the 20 branches of the County Library are operated be
standardized so that Cities and Towns are responsible for building ownership and all facility
related costs required to operate a library, and that the County Library is responsible for
making County Library services available to each city or town on an equitable basis from
within these buildings; and
WHEREAS, the Contra Costa Public Managers Association (PMA) has worked with the
Contra Costa County City Attorney's Association, the Contra Costa County Librarian, Real
Estate Manager, and County Counsel to develop a new Library Lease and Service Agreement
between the County of Contra Costa and all of the cities and towns that are currently served
by the Contra Costa County Library (2011 Agreement); and
WHEREAS, the 2011 Agreement does not materially alter or increase the obligations of the
Town as set forth under the 1996 Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the 2011 Agreement was considered and approved by the Contra Costa County
Board of Supervisors at a duly noticed public meeting on November 2, 2010; and
WHEREAS, the 2011 Agreement underscores the desire to continue and strengthen the
cooperative relationship that exists between the Contra Costa County Library and the Town of
Danville with the goal of providing the best possible library services to Danville residents in
the most effective fashion; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Danville Town Council hereby approves the 2011 Library Lease and
Service Agreement between the County of Contra Costa and the Town of Danville and
authorizes the Town Manager to execute the agreement in the form as lodged with the City
Clerk; and, be it further
