Library Special Revenue Fund in the amount of$55,764.00 for revenue received from the Cities of Burleson, Haltom City, Keller,Richland Hills and

DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication(M&C)is to appropriate revenue in the total amount of$55,764.00 received through
interlocal agreements between the City of Fort Worth and area cities(Burleson,Haltom City,Keller,Richland Hills and Watauga)participating in
the library partnership known as The MetrOPAC. The interlocal agreements were first established in 1986(M&C C-9463)for the Fort Worth Public
Library to provide client services to participating client libraries. Such client services included: integrated online catalog and circulation systems
and services,reciprocal borrowing privileges,and courier delivery service. Each participating client library was assessed an annual fee payable
to the City of Fort Worth based on its local population. The interlocal agreements were reauthorized by the Council on December 9,2014(M&C
C-27126)with the acquisition of the Polaris Library System.These appropriated funds will be used for the purpose of offsetting the cost of the
Library's catalog system as well as the courier service,which were paid during the term of the Intertocal agreement and which were utiized by
MetrOPAC libraries.
Payments recently received and deposited include:
City of Burleson $11,178.00
City of Keller $12,401.00
City of Haltom City $11,663.00
City of Richland Hills $ 6,895.00
City of Watauga $13,627.00
Total $55,764.00
The MetrOPAC libraries chose not to renew the interlocal agreements that expired September 30,2021. Therefore,this partnership ceased to
exist after that date,client services provided by the Fort Worth Public Library were discontinued and no future revenue payments such as these will
be received hereafter.
These library services are located in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
A Form 1295 is not required because:This M&C does not request approval of a contract with a business entity.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are currently available in the Library Spec Revenue Gen Proj project within the Library Special Revenue
Fund and upon approval of the above recommendation and adoption of the attached appropriation ordinance,funds will be available in the Library
Special Revenue Fund for the Library Spec Revenue Gen Proj project. Prior to an expenditure being incurred,the Library Department has the
responsibility of verifying the availability of funds.
