MEETING
INFORMATION
TOWN OF MARANA
MEETING DATE: February 20, 2007
AGENDA ITEM: J.4
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2007-29: Relating to intergovernmental relations;
approving and authorizing the manager to include an item in the
2007-2008 fiscal year's budget pursuant to an intergovernmental
agreement between the Town of Marana and Pima County and the
Pima County Library District for the design, construction, equip-
ping and furnishing of the children's addition of the Wheeler Taft
Abbett, Sr. Library at Continental Ranch.
DISCUSSION
In August 2004, the Mayor and Council entered into an intergovernmental agreement with Pima
County and the Pima County Library District for the Continental Ranch Library, now known as
the Wheeler Taft: Abbett, Sf. Public Library (the "Library"). Consistent with that agreement an
alternate bid was extended for an additional 5,000 square feet of constructed building build-out
area for the Library. The result of this process was an award for a bid in the amount of
$549,000. Based upon the intergovernmental agreement, Marana's share of this amount will be
$270,000.
To properly complete the design, construction and furnishing of the Library, it will be necessary
for the Town of Marana to include this amount in its 2007-2008 fiscal year budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2007-29, approving and authorizing the Town
Manager to include an item in the 2007-2008 fiscal year's budget not to exceed $270,000 for the
children's addition of the Wheeler Taft: Abbett, Sr. Public Library at Continental Ranch.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2007-29.
