compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined
that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the
environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines
the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.

DISCUSSION
In August 1993, the City and Sweetwater Union High School District entered into the
first agreement to jointly provide library services at Eastlake High School. In September
1999, the agreement was renewed for a third time. This innovative partnership has
resulted in the City's ability to provide very popular library services to the eastside of the
city.
Library staff with support from the City Attorney's Office, has negotiated another multi-
year agreement (Attachment "B"). The proposed renewal agreement continues the basic
premises of previous agreements.
The District will:
· Allow the City to use the Facility, rent free, for public library services, with hours
beginning no earlier than 3:30 p.m. and ending no later than 9:00 p.m. Monday
through Thursday, and Saturday hours of 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (the library
would close to the public at 5:00 p.m.).
· Provide for all custodial service on all days of operation and pay for all utilities,
except for the City Library's fax line.
· Provide ten (10) or more public access computer workstations with three (3) or
more networked printers and printer supplies.
· Provide on-campus parking for the public and staff.
The City will:
o Catalogue all School Library materials and provide the School Library and the
District access to the City's automated library system, including circulation and
online catalog functions, following City policies regarding patron registration,
loan periods, fines, access to materials and restrictions for delinquencies.
o Provide access to the City information network via frame relay.
· Provide six (6) computer workstations for access to the catalog and three (3)
computer workstations for circulation purposes.
Both parties agree to make reasonable efforts to maintain and enrich the book collection.
Both parties also agree to allow all patrons equal access to all library materials, regardless
of jurisdiction or ownership. Neither party shall remove, label or prohibit access to any
library material owned by the other party.
Both parties also agree to staff the Library Facility with qualified, competent,
professional, and team oriented employees that will strive to provide excellent customer
service, work cooperatively, and keep the best interests of the students and public as their
number one priority.
The terms of the proposed renewal agreement would expire June 30, 2010. There are
also two (2) one-year options to renew the agreement, which are to be executed by June
30 of each year after 2010.
On June 16,2008, the Board of the Sweetwater Union High School District is expected to
approve this renewal.
