Recommendation of Approval to City Commission of Amendment #3 to Final Library District IGA
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Move to approve recommendation to City Commission of Amendment #3 to Final Library District IGA
BACKGROUND:
Last year, Clackamas County and the City of Gladstone settled pending litigation related to the construction of library facilities and provision of library services in the Oak Lodge and Gladstone library service areas. The settlement agreement reached by Clackamas County and the City of Gladstone contemplates that the County will construct and operate two new libraries, one located within the City of Gladstone, and one located in unincorporated Clackamas County within the Oak Lodge Library service area.
In order to proceed with these plans, it’s necessary to make minor amendments to the Library District Master IGA. Per the terms of the IGA, the proposed amendments require the agreement of the Library District and at least two-thirds of Library Cities.
The proposed amendment includes:
- An amended section 1.6, which would designate the County, and not the City of Gladstone, as the eventual recipient of retained funds currently held in trust by the District to support the construction of new library facilities for the Gladstone and Oak Lodge service areas.
- A new section 2.4, which would establish Clackamas County as the permanent Library Service Provider for the Oak Lodge Library Service area and memorializes the intent for Clackamas County to construct and manage two new libraries using District distributions, accumulated reserves, and other revenues.
- An amended Attachment B, which would eliminate language regarding service area boundary changes which were originally contemplated when it was anticipated that the City of Gladstone would construct a single facility to serve both the Gladstone and Oak Lodge library service areas.
