Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute a
cooperative agreement with the Santa Ana Unified School District to
extend library services at three high school sites for a one year term
in a not to exceed valued amount of $269,044.
DISCUSSION
Libraries provide a safe and wholesome environment for youth and their
families to access information, materials, technology, and other resources
leading to enhanced academic success. In order to extend library services
in the southern areas of the City where public library facilities do not
currently exist, a cooperative agreement between the City of Santa Ana and
the Santa Ana Unified School District is recommended for approval. Under
the terms of the agreement, the District would provide library services,
including book loans, at Valley, Saddleback and Century High Schools from 4
p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday, during the period of the year
the schools are in regular academic session. Bookmobile services for
children at Valley High School would also be provided by the City four
evenings per week, valued at $55,236.
In addition, the City will provide up to 4,000 books appropriate for
preschool through 8th grade readers with a new retail value of $79,600 to
augment the schools' existing collection. The City will also provide
$134,208 to the District to fund staff and one-time set-up costs associated
with the additional hours of service to the public at the high school
sites. The total aggregate amount of funding and in-kind assistance
provided to the District under the proposed agreement is $269,044.
