The Board of Trustees of the Burlington Public Library, in accordance with Chapter 21, section 6 of the City Code, may contract with other governmental entities to provide library services. Residents of these entities will receive full library services for as long as the contract is maintained.
Governmental entities that contract for Burlington Public Library services for their citizens shall be charged based on a uniform formula each year. To calculate the formula, the Burlington Public Library budget shall be separated into fixed and variable expenses, with the variable expenses representing costs driven by the volume of actual library use. The amount of these variable costs will be divided proportionally among all communities that contract for use of the library. For the purposes of this calculation, Burlington is included as one of the communities. A community’s proportional share shall be based on the lower of a percentage of either total area assessed valuation as of January 1 or total area population.
