LIBRARY SUPPORT AGREEMENT <br /> MEMBERSHIP IN THE YAVAPAI LIBRARY NETWORK <br /> Attachment A <br /> Model for Annual Assessment <br /> The annual assessment calculation is in five parts: Annual Capital Assessment,Annual Project <br /> Assessment,Total Annual Assessment,Overall NETWORK Assessment Proportions,and <br /> Individual Library Assessment Ratios. Each part is reflected in tables A-1 thru A-5. An example <br /> scenario is illustrated in tables A-6 thru A-9. <br /> The first part is calculating the base amount that will be assessed to the MEMBER LIBRARIES that <br /> constitute the NETWORK for future technological needs. This value shall be hereafter the base annual <br /> assessment. <br /> This amount is calculated based upon the anticipated financial needs of the NETWORK for some future <br /> technology pursuant to the annual technology plan as provided by the COUNTY as part of the annual <br /> assessment and benefit statement to be provided to the MEMBER LIBRARY each January 15. <br /> This annual assessment shall in effect act as a sinking fund to ensure the stability and future viability of <br /> the NETWORK. <br /> Therefore,the base annual contribution amount shall be based upon the following formula: <br /> Table A-1-Capital Assessment <br /> Calculations for Capital Assessment Formula <br /> Total estimated future costs(Capital <br /> expenses such as an ILS upgrade) Amount <br /> Number of years in the future between <br /> this year and the year of the anticipated <br /> expense Years <br /> Annual Capital Assessment Amount I Capital=Amount/Years <br /> The NETWORK STEERING COMMITTEE may elect to implement special projects planned for the <br /> subsequent year(s) in the future or form a contract to implement a special service over several years <br /> through the DISTRICT. All estimated expenses associated with these projects, as approved by the <br /> NETWORK STEERING COMMITTEE, shall be assessed in the year the expense is incurred as part of <br /> the annual assessment. These costs shall be treated as planned and budgeted for the upcoming fiscal year <br /> with the understanding that the NETWORK shall reimburse the DISTRICT for all costs during that year <br /> as they are deemed above and beyond the operation of the NETWORK and shall be apportioned by <br /> adding these estimated and approved costs to thee Annual Capital Assessment. <br /> Table A-2-Projects Annual Assessment <br /> I Calculations for Project Assessment I Formula <br /> Total estimated Project costs Amount <br /> Number of years in the future between <br /> this year and the year of the anticipated <br /> expense or the number of years the <br /> project is anticipated to continue Years <br /> Annual Project Assessment Amount I Project=Amount/Years <br /> August 30,2012 Page 8 of 16 <br />
