Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: The estimated cost of the agreements for FY 2008-09 is $44,360.00. This amount was included in the proposed budget.
Background: The Library manages several perpetual agreements for ongoing online cataloging, content enhancement, maintenance and support for automated circulation system, and Internet access. The Department is bringing this matter before your Board per BOS Policy C-17 Section 4.5 which states that "Departments must obtain authorization from the Board of Supervisors, initially, and on an annual basis, to utilize any contract that does not have a stated contract term."
Reason for Recommendation:
Library Director is advising the Board of all current perpetual contracts administered by the Library and recommending continuation of the agreements and authorization for the Purchasing Agent to encumber funds for FY 2008-09 payments under these contracts. Continuation of the agreements is critical to the operation of the Library.
Action to be taken following Board approval: 1) Procurement and Contracts shall encumber the funds for each agreement and 2) the Library shall continue to administer the contracts and process payments upon receipt and approval of invoices.
