SUBJECT: LAW LIBRARY ISSUES
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
REMOVE as a referral to the 1996 Internal Operations Committee the subject of the
remaining issues which are outstanding between the County and the Law Library
Board of Trustees and instead REFER this subject to the 1997 Internal Operations
Committee.
BACKGROUND:
Our Committee has had on referral this year the resolution of the two issues which
remain outstanding between the County and the Law Library: namely, the issue of
whether the Law Library will pay for some or all of the costs of occupancy for the
space they occupy in the Bray Courthouse Annex and the Richmond County
Building, and the issue of whether the County is required to pay interest on the Law
Library Trust Fund which is deposited with the County.
On November 18, 1996, our Committee met with Carol Chan, from the County
Administrator's Office; Arthur Walenta, Assistant County Counsel; Mary Wrightson,
Deputy County Counsel; and Philleatra Gaylor, the Law Librarian. Carol Chan
summarized the attached report for our Committee. Arthur Walenta clarified that his
office has received a response from the Law Library Board of Trustees and is in the
process of preparing a reply.
In the meantime, the County is not receiving any revenue for the occupancy costs.
Our Committee is anxious to get this matter settled and hopes that it can be resolved
in the very near future.

SUBJECT: Law Library Board of Trustees
This is in response to your November 7, 1996 memo regarding the
lack of response from the Law Library Board of Trustees to the
compromise proposed by County Counsel. Arthur Walenta, Assistant
County Counsel, has advised that he has received correspondence
from an attorney on behalf of the Law Library Board of Trustees .
In the correspondence the attorney raised a legal issue which now
requires research and response by County Counsel. Arthur has
assigned this matter to a Deputy County 4imz .
Within the week Arthur Walenta should have some time estimate of
when County Counsel will be responding to the Law Library. When I
know, I will advise you.
