Minutes of December 21, 1964
Mr. Harold Sampson, Wilkerson Corporation, appeared to thank Council for the
action taken on Paving District No. 15 relative to the industrial area.
The City Clerk read the following resolution in full:
R E S 0 L U T I 0 N
WHEREAS, on September 18, 1961, the City Council of Englewood, Colorado,
along with the City of Aurora and the City of Littleton, through their res-
pective City Councils and the Adams County Bookmobile Service, through the Adams
County Library Board did enter into a joint contractual agreement entitled
"Library Agreement" with the County Commissioners of Arapahoe County Colorado;
and,
WHEREA S , this agreement was made for the express purpose of establishing
in Arapahoe County Colorado, uniform Public Library services for the citizens
of the County ; and,
WHEREAS, over the past three years under the auspices of this joint program,
such a uniform service has been provided extending to Arapahoe County citizens
Library Services through the use of Municipal Libraries, Branch Libraries, and
Boolanobile services where formerly such services were not provided; and,
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners did by lawful and legal authority
enter into this contract and agreed to assume certain obligations which would
enable this joint endeavor to be practicable and effective, and to accomplish
its purpose by providing an expanded library service to all Anapahoe County
citizens; and,
WHEREA S , one of the COITll'llitments made by the Board of County Commissioners
was that a levy of approximate.: one mill would be made to finance this program.;
and,
WHEREA S , for the ye er 1964 the tax levy for Library purposes will be only
.91 mills, representing a ten per cent reduction in levy from the year 1963
with a corresponding decline of anticipated revenues for 1965; and,
WHEREA S , a uniform County mill levy is the fairest and most equitable means
of financing such a program and that a County levy imposed, yet at an insufficient
level to provide adequate funds thereby requiring supplemental funds from the ent-
ities involved, does impose a double tax upon the residents of these entities
and constitutes an inequity that this City Council does not desire to force
upon its residents; and,
WlimEAS, the Board of County Commissioners further agreed to "confer with the
representatives of the cities and the Adams County Library Board before any
changes are made in the proposed budget" submitted as a consolidated budget
by the entities involved; and,
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners proceeded to, and did alter
the proposed 1965 budget without the consent of, or consultation with, the
various entities, and in so doing did create a hardship on the City of Englewood
in that information of the Commission's action was made known only after the
City's 1965 budget had been finally approved and adopted; and, only after the
City's 1964 mil l levy was certified to the County Commissioners; and,
WHE REA S , t he City of F.nglewood's reduction in Library funds represents
an amount of $1 4,977 less than the amount anticipated to be received in 1965,
and leas than the amount deemed necessary to provide an adequate and continuous
program, and for which the City of Englewood can provide no substitute without
affecting pl a 1ne d programs, such as the acquisition of a bookmobile for which
$6,000 was set aside in 1964; with an additional $10,000 proposed to be set aside
in 1965; sa i d bookmobile being used primarily to serve residents from outside
Englewood; and,
WHEREA , t hi s reduction of' funds will necessitate a "cut-back" in the
operational services of the Englewood Public Library for the year 1965 and may
also jeopardize the City's share of State Grant in Aids and possibly result
in a loss to the City of Englewood of some $6,000 of State monies in addition to
the money abstracted from the County Library Contract; and,
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Englewood feels that the Board of
County Commissioner's actions may encourage the withdrawal of one or more of the
parties to this agreement and any such withdrawals would, indeed, jeopardize the
entire Library Program and consequently result in the loss of a most valuable
service to Arapahoe County residents,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that we the members of the City Council of
the City of Englewood, on behalf of the citizens of our co$nunity, do hereby
urgently request the Board of County Commissioners to restore the amount to be
distributed in 1965 for library purposes to the equivalent of one mill so that

each individual unit of government involved may continue to provide a high level
of library service to the citizens of Arapahoe County Colorado, and be it further
resolved that upon failure of the Board of County Commissioners to provide the
necessary funds required for the budgeted library program for 1965 the Englewood
City Council will be forced to withdraw from this program and discontinue services
to other than Ehglewood residents, and if the County levy is continuely imposed,
Englewood citizens may expect and rightfully _ receive library services from all
other library facilities within Arapahoe Count7.
ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 21st day of December, 1964.
