BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, LIBERTY LAKE, WASHINGTON
SUBJECT: FOR THE AGENDA OF: May 6, 2014
Interlocal Agreement with Member Libraries of
the Early Learning Public Libraries Partnership
DEPT. OF ORIGIN: Library
EXHIBIT: DEPT. HEAD APPROVAL: Pamela Mogen
Interlocal Agreement
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: Yes
BUDGETED: No, funds will come out of Dues, Subscriptions and Memberships
Library Budget
SUMMARY STATEMENT
The Municipal Library, City of Liberty Lake and the Early Learning Public Libraries Partnership desire to enter into
an Interlocal Agreement regarding the promotion and provision of early learning services with the following
goals: to establish Washington State public libraries in general as recognized and important providers of early
learning services; to leverage funding for public library early learning services in public and tribal libraries; to
develop strategic partnerships and collaborations with organizations concerned with early learning such as
Thrive by Five and the Department of Early Learning; to represent public libraries with the legislature and other
governmental entities as appropriate; and facilitate the creation of a public library agenda for early learning
funding.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve the Interlocal Agreement and authorize the Mayor Peterson to enter into the Agreement.
AGENDA ITEM NO.: 11Bii
BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, LIBERTY LAKE, WASHINGTON
SUBJECT: Award of Roof Repair Contract to Baker FOR THE AGENDA OF: 5‐6‐14
Construction
DEPT. HEAD APPROVAL: DEPT. OF ORIGIN: Public Works
EXHIBIT: Agreement
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: Yes
BUDGETED: No
SUMMARY STATEMENT
Please find attached an agreement for the repairs of the Library roof trusses. The agreement type is
referred to as a “cost + markup”. It is a normal and acceptable way to approach repairs. This is not the
type of contract/agreement that the City typically engages in for public works. For this agreement, we
will pay the Contractor a fixed fee based on the cost of materials and labor. The Contractor will supply
us with documentation on what labor/materials are used on our roof so we are able to verify the
payment amounts. The repairs are already being made without this agreement in place due to the
nature of the damage discovered. Markup fees presented by the Contractor for this work are reasonable
and line with standard practice for these types of repairs.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends the following:
1. Award the Agreement to Baker.

SUBJECT: FOR THE AGENDA OF: May 6th, 2014
Budget Amendment 209-C
DEPT. OF ORIGIN: Administrative Services
EXHIBITS: DEPT. HEAD APPROVAL: RJ Stevenson
Ordinance
Exhibits A, B & C
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: Yes
BUDGETED: This is a Budget Amendment for appropriations
SUMMARY STATEMENT
This Budget amendment will serve two purposes. The first purpose is to appropriate enough dollars to cover
the immediate repairs to the roof tresses above the Library that were discovered in early April. The second
purpose is to create a Building and Equipment Contingency line item or Fund. In the event that any other
unforeseen event happens that requires immediate attention and that the dollars are available to address
this unforeseen event. These dollars are to only be spent on unforeseen events. Examples that would have
qualified from this year would have been the banquet and bathroom restoration at Trailhead, replacing the
roof at PD/Library, plumbing break at Rocky Hill Park, and major equipment repairs. This is not intended for
purchasing new vehicles or equipment, normal repairs and maintenance, and daily operational supplies.
Finance Committee will be updated monthly on the expenses that are used by this line item.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. This is a first read Ordinance

Building and Equipment Contingency Plan
Purpose: In order respond to unanticipated repairs of City Owned Facilities and Equipment, funds need
to be identified so that city staff can respond timely and efficiently. This fund will be used only for those
occurrences where an immediate repair is needed, not for items that were not included in the budget.
(Example: roof repair at Library/Police facility, plumbing repairs Trailhead, HVAC repairs at City Hall,
transmission repair for a vehicle).
Creation: A Building and Equipment Contingency line item will be created from dollars in the General
Fund. It is recommended that this fund start with a balance of $125,000 and not to exceed an
appropriation of $250,000 in any given year.
Replenishment: At the end of every calendar year, the City will review the Building and Equipment
Contingency Plan and recommend through the budget process the proposed appropriation to replenish
the Building and Equipment Contingency Plan for the next budget year.
Identified Uses: Eligible expenditures include all City facilities (City Hall, Library/Police, and Trailhead),
structures within City owned parks, rolling stock and major irrigation repairs. This line item is not
intended to purchase new equipment or build new facilities.
Appropriation: Building and Equipment Contingency dollars will be appropriated to spend within any
given year. All purchases will be made consistent with the Procurement Policy. (Purchases exceeding
$5K will need Council approval). The Finance Committee will review the plan each month for any
expenditure made against the Building and Equipment Contingency line item.
