database, including patron files and records.

provision or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right granted herein shall not
constitute a waiver of that party's right to insist upon appropriate performance or to assert
any such right on any future occasion.

jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of

duties and obligations hereunder, but shall not be held liable for any delay in or omission of

ACCESS AGREEMENT AND
EXTRANET CONNECTION STANDARD
The City of Fort Worth ("Fort Worth") owns and operates a file server computer system
and network(collectively the "Network").
The City of Watauga ("Watauga") wishes to access a subset of Fort Worth's network,
specifically, the Integrated Library System ("ILS System"), for library and patron
services.
In order to receive the necessary services, Watauga needs access to Fort Worth's ILS
System and may need access to Internet services in conjunction with use of the ILS
system.
Fort Worth is willing to grant Watauga access to the Network and the ILS System,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
Fort Worth and Watauga hereby agree as follows:
1. Grant of Limited Access
1.1 Access Watauga is hereby granted a limited right of access to Fort Worth's
Network for the sole purpose of utilizing Library and patron services provided
under this Agreement. Watauga can only enter the Network via Fort Worth's
computer system; therefore, Fort Worth will provide Watauga with a
password and access number or numbers as necessary to perform Watauga's
duties.
1.2 Hardware All hardware, circuits, and related gear covered under this
Agreement should be placed in secure location, clearly marked. Fort Worth
personnel should be provided access to all hardware through the designated
Point of Contact(POC)as set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement.
2. Definitions
Circuit For the purposes of this Agreement, circuit refers to the
method of network access, whether it is through traditional
ISDN, Frame Relay etc. or via Virtual Privacy Network
(VPN) encryption technologies
Sponsoring
Organization Fort Worth Public Library (FWPL) is the sponsoring
organization that has requested that third party cities gain
access to the FWPL ILS System and the City of Fort Worth
network.
Third Party A business or entity that is not a formal or subsidiary part
of the FWPL or the City of Fort Worth.
3. Network Restrictions
3.1. Watauga may not share any passwords or access number or numbers
provided by Fort Worth except with Watauga's officers, agents, servants or
employees who work directly with this project.
3.2. Watauga may not access the Network for any purpose other than those set
forth in this Agreement.
3.3. Watauga acknowledges, agrees and hereby gives its authorization to Fort
Worth to monitor and or perform an annual or semi-annual audit of Watauga's use
of Fort Worth's Network in order to ensure Watauga's compliance with this
Agreement. Fort Worth will provide at least thirty (30) days written notice of any
intent to conduct such audit.
3.4. A breach by Watauga, its officers, agents, servants or employees, of this
Agreement and any other written instructions or guidelines that Fort Worth
provides to Watauga pursuant to this Agreement, shall be grounds for Fort Worth
immediately to deny Watauga access to the Network and Watauga' s data. Fort
Worth may also exercise any other remedies that Fort Worth may have under this
Agreement or at law or in equity.
4. Third Party Connection
Connections between Fort Worth and third parties that require access to the Fort
Worth's resources fall under this standard, regardless of whether a telecommunications
circuit (such as frame relay or ISDN)or Virtual Privacy Network(VPN)technology is
used for the connection. All new connection requests between third parties and the
sponsoring organization require that representatives of the third party and the sponsoring
organization are in agreement regarding the connection.
5. Security Review
All new extranet connectivity will go through a security review with the
Information Security department (IT Solutions) either annually or semi-annually to insure
that the connection is consistent with this agreement. The reviews are to ensure that all
access matches the business requirements in the best possible way, and that the principle
of least access is followed.
6. Point of Contact
The sponsoring organization must designate a person to be the Point of Contact
(POC) for the Extranet connection. The POC acts on behalf of the sponsoring
organization, and is responsible for those portions of this policy as they may relate to the
Access agreement. A second POC should also be listed. In the event that the POC
changes, IT Solutions must be informed promptly. Fort Worth will contact the POC for
security audits of facilities and services covered by this agreement. Fort Worth's primary
contact for the auditing process shall be the Manager of Information Security for the City
of Fort Worth,
7. Establishing Connectivity
The sponsoring organization should provide secure facilities for network gear and
work with the Fort Worth staff to initiate and secure the connectivity. All connectivity
established must be based on the least-access principle, in accordance with the approved
business requirements and the security review. Fort Worth relies upon the third party to
take reasonable precautions for protecting Fort Worth's network from exposure to virus
infection, malware, or any other security threat. Reasonable precautions include, but are
not limited to, keeping virus protection up to date within the sponsoring organization's
network and maintaining security patches and fixes on patron workstations. Virus file
definitions should be updated on a weekly basis through an automated process. In
general, security patches and fixes should be applied minimally every three months and
critical updates should be implemented within one month of release. Neglecting to take
reasonable precautions may result in denial of access to the Network. The City of Fort
Worth may consult and assist with maintaining these reasonable precautions if resources
are available; however, Fort Worth is not responsible for or obligated to guarantee such
precautions. It is Watauga's responsibility to maintain a secure environment.
8. Modifying or Changing Connectivity or Access
All changes in access initiated by Watauga must be accompanied by a valid
business justification, and are subject to security review. Any changes to be implemented
to Fort Worth's Network must adhere to Fort Worth's Change Management Process. A
copy of the Change Management Process is available upon request. The sponsoring
organization is responsible for notifying IT Solutions when there is a material change in
their originally provided information so that security and connectivity evolve
accordingly.
9. Terminating Access
When access is no longer required, Watauga must notify Fort Worth in writing
within sixty (60) days. This may mean a modification of existing permissions up to and
including terminating the circuit, as appropriate. If during the course of an audit of the
facilities and services provided to Watauga, the connections are found to be deprecated,
or are being used in a manner inconsistent with this agreement, access may be terminated
immediately. IT Solutions will notify the POC or the sponsoring organization of the
change prior to taking any action.

CIRCULATION AND RELATED SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF FORT WORTH
AND THE CITIES OF HALTOM CITY, KELLER, RICHLAND HILLS AND WATAUGA,
TEXAS AND RELATED APPROPRIATION ORDINANCE
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Authorize the City Manager to enter into five-year, renewable interlocal cooperation agreements
with Haltom City, Keller, Richland Hills and Watauga, Texas for the provision of automated library
services, including a frame relay telecommunications network; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriation in the
Special Revenue Fund by $103,680.00.
DISCUSSION:
On June 25, 1985, the City Council approved the original purchase of an automated library system for
the Fort Worth Public Library. In planning for that system and its successors, provision was made to
give Fort Worth the ability to offer automated services to libraries in the North Texas Library System,
other City departments, businesses, and other libraries in the area on a cost-sharing basis.
Haltom City was the first area library to take advantage of sharing the Fort Worth system with an
interlocal agreement approved by the City Council on January 14, 1986. Keller joined the system in
1992 under a separate interlocal agreement. Under these agreements, the Fort Worth Public Library
provides automated library services for these libraries on a cost-sharing basis where each computer
workstation is equal to one "share" in the system. Haltom City and Keller are renewing their existing
interlocal agreements.
The cities of Richland Hills and Watauga desire to purchase automated library services from Fort Worth
at this time. Under the agreements, Richland Hills will pay $34,400 to purchase eight shares, software
and services. Watauga will pay $50,100 for twelve shares. Under these agreements, all the client
libraries may purchase additional shares at $3,000 per share. They also pay for all equipment installed
in their libraries.
Fort Worth will provide maintenance services for an additional fee, which may be adjusted from year-to-
year. The first year's maintenance charges for the client libraries under this interlocal agreement are
Haltom City for $9,240, and Keller for $9,940.
