PURPOSE:
State Statutes require municipalities to have governing board approval for interlocal agreements. The attached annual interlocal agreement between the City of Greensboro and Guilford County regarding additional County funding for the Greensboro Public Libraries requires City Council approval.

BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to authority granted in N.C.G.S 153A-261, et. Seq., and in compliance with all applicable laws, the City supports a public library system for the benefit of all citizens of Guilford County. In order to carry out the programs and activities of the Greensboro Library, regardless of whether citizens live inside or outside the city of Greensboro, Guilford County and the City have established a formula based interlocal funding agreement with Guilford County Contract 36460-03/11-171. Guilford County approved an initial appropriation funding for fiscal year 2014-15 to the City in the amount of $1,302,286.

Based on the formula, the County has appropriated an additional amount for fiscal year 2014-15 not to exceed $54,561. This interlocal agreement amendment is made as a supplement to the Guilford County Interlocal Agreement on Public Libraries, Contract 36460-03/11-171 and shall not supersede the Interlocal Agreement or vice versa.

BUDGET IMPACT:
In consideration for the City's Library Services, the County will pay the lump sum of $54,561 under the terms of this interlocal agreement for fiscal year 2014-15 by December 31, 2015. This will increase the original Guilford County allocation from $1,302,286 to $1,356,847.
