MEMORANDUM Date: October 15, i~O To: Michael Ru~fin, Manager, Cabarrus County From: Tom Dillard, Library Director Subject: Renewal of Library Agreement between City of Concord and Cabarrus County relative to public library operations. This is to advise you that the current agreement between the City of Concord and Cabarrus County which defines the administrative status of the joint public library system serving Concord and Cabarrus County uill expire on December 51, 1~0. The agreement was reviewed by the Cabarrus County Library Board of Trustees in their September meeting. The unanimous recommendation of the Library Board was to renew the agreement in its present form with the exception that the term of the agreemeot be set at five years rather than three years. The Board also recommended that the agreement should be reviewed by the legal counsels of both Cabarrus County and the City of Concord. Any changes suggested by counsel should be resolved by the City of Concord and Cabarrus County. A copy of the current agreement is attached. I do request that it be reviewed by you and Mr. Hartse]l. In that the agreement has facilitated good access to public library service for our citizens and in that, that access has translated into strong use by those same citizens of the library system, I also recommend that the agreement be renewed. As a system~ we are certainly competitive statistically with other county systems which serve populations of a similar size. I have asked that the agreement be submitted to the Concord Board of Aldermen at their next scheduled monthly meeting which will be November B, possible and you feel it feasibIe, the agreement be submitted to the Board of County Commissioners for approval at their next scheduled meeting on November 5j
