ITEM TI TLE :
Resolution/~~-Approving Amendment to Joint Exercise of Powers
Agreement with Serra Regional Library System
SUBMITTED BY:
City Librarian
(~~S
(4/5ths Vote: Yes
No 1L-)
The Chula Vista Public Library has operated under JEPA with the Serra Cooperative
Library System and its 13 members since 1965. Since that time there have been
five (5) amendments made to this agreement. The attached documents propose a
sixth (6th) amendment.
BACKGROUND
The benefits of system membership and services remain the same. Among the
benefits of membership in the System provided are: Ready access and delivery to
the complete book, material and audio-visual collection of all member libraries
in the County and, through Serra, better access to academic and special libraries'
collections. A considerable portion of our reference and research services is
strongly aided and enhanced by the Serra reference staff. Through Serra sub-
stantial and significant access to material and information is available to us.
Central to all of these benefits is the once a day delivery service. Grant
funding is available through Serra and shared by member libraries.
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council approve the resolution.
LIBRARY BOARD RECOMMENDATION: Adopt resolution.
DISCUSSION
This is a routine "house-cleaning" amendment to bring the Joint Exercise of
Powers Agreement up to date. This amendment reflects a change in Serra System
policies in the hiring of employees. Formerly, Serra had staff on the payrolls
of various jurisdictional members. Now, hiring and bookkeeping will be centralized
at Serra rather than spread among some of the members. The governing body of the
Serra System will now be officially known as the "Administrative Council" a
semantic revision. The Imperial County Public Library has not been formally
included in the JEPA until this time. For obscure reasons the official name of
the Serra System has been changed to "Serra Cooperative Library System" from
the "Serra Regional Library System".
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None.
