Contra

County
Subject:400 FRONT STREET, DANVILLE - LEASE WITH THE TOWN OF DANVILLE FOR COUNTY'S
OPERATION OF THE DANVILLE LIBRARY
FISCAL IMPACT:
No rent is due or payable from the County. In exchange for the use of the Library premises,
the County will perform Library services and related activities at the Library during the
Term. The Town will pay for and provide all maintenance, utilities, and janitorial to the
Library.
The County Library has included $591,651 in its FY 11/12 budget for the personnel costs
necessary for the operation of the Danville Library for 35 hours per week. The Town of
Danville has included $194,408 in its FY 11/12 budget to pay for the County to operate the
Danville Library for an additional 25 hours per week.
BACKGROUND:
The County has leases or operating agreements with 18 towns and cities throughout Contra
Costa County to operate 21 libraries in those jurisdictions. Many of those existing
agreements provide that the County will pay for the maintenance and utilities provided to
those libraries. For the purpose of reallocating Library resources, and transferring the cost
of maintenance, utilities, and other facility costs in the buildings from the County to the
cities and towns, the County and a subcommittee of the Public Managers Association,
which included City Managers and attorneys from several cities and towns, worked together
to develop a template Library Lease and Service Agreement that would be used to replace
existing Library agreements. The Board of Supervisors approved the new Library Lease and
Service Agreement on November 2, 2010.
The County and the Town of Danville (Town), entered into a Lease Use and Maintenance
Agreement on August 6, 1996, for the County to provide library services from the building.
The County and Town are replacing the existing lease with the new Library Lease and
Service Agreement that will provide that the County will operate the Danville Library for 35
hours each week. The Town would like the County to operate the Library for an additional
25 hours each week, and has budgeted the funds necessary to pay the County for those
additional hours of operation. The Danville Town Council approved the Library Lease and
Service Agreement on March 1, 2011.
The new Library Lease and Service Agreement provides that the Term will automatically
renew on a yearly basis unless written notice is given by either party of their intent to
terminate the Lease at least one year in advance.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Library Lease and Service Agreement is not approved, there may be a reduction in
library services in the Town of Danville.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
