On January 14, 2003 the Antioch City Council unanimously approved a budget of$1,508,600 annually for 64 hours of service at the new library. BACKGROUND California Reading and Literac Improvement and Public Library Construction Bond Act The California Reading and Literacy Improvement and Public Library Construction and Renovation Bond Act of 2000 was created by the passage of Proposition 14, a statewide bond measure approved by the voters of the State of California on March 7, 2000. The Bond Act authorized the sale of$350 million of state general obligation bonds for the purpose of public library construction and renovation. Application Cycles Applications are accepted in three cycles: First Cycle: June 14, 2002: The cities of Hercules and Walnut Creek submitted applications in the first round.

Resolution committing to operate the library Any city, county, city and county, or district that is authorized at the time of the project application to own and maintain a public library facility may apply for Library Bond Act funding. When a city is part of a county library, either the city or the county can be the applicant. The Board's long-standing policy is that it is the local community's responsibility to provide the library facility, so the cities will be the applicant. However, If the City is the applicant, there must be an accompanying commitment from the County to operate the building as a public library once construction is complete. If the completed public library will be operated by a jurisdiction other than the applicant, the applicant (the city) must obtain from the operating jurisdiction (the county) a copy of a resolution of its goveming body that certifies a commitment to operate the completed facility and provide public library direct service and submit the copy with the Application Form. A library facility constructed with grant funds received must be dedicated to public library direct service use for a period of 40 years following completion of the project. 3. Library operating budget Because the competition for funds will be keen, the Bond Act Board is requesting information in the application that will assist them in making an informed and fair decision about the proposed project based on the priorities and "review considerations" stated in the Library Bond Act. There are seven "factors"which the Library Bond Act Board will consider while reviewing applications. • Needs of urban and rural areas. • Population growth. • Age and condition of the existing library facility. • The degree to which the existing library facility is inadequate in meeting the needs of the residents in the library service area and the degree to which the proposed project responds to the needs of those residents. • The degree to which the library's plan of service integrates appropriate electronic technologies into the proposed project. • The degree to which the proposed site is appropriate for the proposed project and its intended uses. • The financial capacity of the local agency submitting the application to open and maintain operation of the proposed library for applications for the construction of new public libraries. The Bond Act Board will consider the financial capacity of the local jurisdiction to operate the library. In order for the application to be competitive, the Board must be assured that the facility will be operated at a reasonable level. Library staff has worked with the City of Antioch to develop both start-up expenses and annual operating expenses for the new library. The projected operating budget must be submitted as part of the application package. The operating agreement with the City of Antioch specifies that the City of Antioch agrees to provide funding to the County for the personnel costs, services, books, supplies, materials and other costs to operate the new Library at 64 hours per week. 4. Cooperative agreement with school districts First priority for funding will be given to joint use projects in which the agency that operates the library and one or more K-12 public school districts have a cooperative agreement. The library has worked with the Antioch Unified School District and the City of Antioch to develop a joint venture project in order to qualify as a first priority project. Applicants with joint use projects must submit a copy of the cooperative agreement between the public library and the public school district(s) that includes the following elements: • A definition of the roles and responsibilities of each party with respect to funding, staffing, supervision, operation, management, and others as applicable. • A description of the joint library services and how they will be provided. • The library hours of service for the public and for students. • The number and classifications of staff members. • The use of volunteers, if any. • Identification of the location of the proposed joint use, project. • Ownership of the site, facility, furnishings, equipment, and library materials. • All sources and uses of funding. • Responsibility for facility operation, maintenance, and management. • Review and modification process for the conditions of the agreement.
