L-1. AGREEMENT WITH GRAND CANYON UNIVERSITY FOR COMPUTERIZED CATALOG SYSTEM AND SPECIALIZED SOFTWARE Approve an Agreement between Grand Canyon University and Maricopa County through the Library District, in the not-to-exceed amount of $24,800. The purpose of this Agreement is to allow the District to provide Grand Canyon University staff and students access to the District's computerized catalog system and specialized software. This Agreement is effective from January 1, 2009 until December 31, 2009. Approval of this Agreement will allow the University to access the District's automation services using GIS/Polaris. District software is capable of hosting multiple libraries and provides the same service to the Maricopa County Health Care System Library. The District has been working with the University since 1996. The approval of this item will require 1) increasing the Library District property tax rate in order to keep the levy at a level to cover the additional expense associated with this action, 2) a reduction in expenditures which may result in a reduction in service delivery, or 3) a combination of both.
