RESOLUTION #97-239

WHEREAS, for many years Ingham County Government has operated a system of libraries in the part of the County outside the Cities of Lansing and East Lansing; and

WHEREAS, the Ingham County Board of Commissioners, in cooperation with the City of Lansing formed the Capital Area District Library (C.A.D.L.) to provide library services in all areas of the County outside the City of East Lansing; and

WHEREAS, on August 5, 1997, the voters approved a one mill levy to support those services, beginning January 1, 1998; and

WHEREAS, the costs of providing buildings, utilities, and maintenance for the County branch libraries has been the responsibility of the township, city, or village government in which the branch library is located; and

WHEREAS, under the agreement with the City of Lansing which created the C.A.D.L., the responsibility for utilities and maintenance of the main branch in Lansing will become the sole responsibility of the C.A.D.L.; and

WHEREAS, during the discussions leading up to the adoption of the millage, members of the Board of Commissioners repeatedly expressed their understanding that the C.A.D.L. would absorb such costs for the remaining branches outside the City of Lansing; and

WHEREAS, under the law utilized in creating the C.A.D.L., sole discretion over priorities and policies are vested in the C.A.D.L. Board; and

WHEREAS, local units of government are currently in the process of adopting their 1998 budgets; and

WHEREAS, the decision whether to fund maintenance and utilities threatens to exacerbate tensions

WHEREAS, the disagreement is a natural result of the practical difficulties of setting up a new governmental body.

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Ingham County Board of Commissioners suggests the C.A.D.L. adopt a clear policy statement that it accepts an obligation eventually to assume maintenance and utility expenses for all branches.
