12. Costs.
The parties have analyzed their anticipated operation and maintenance costs of performing
their respective duties and obligations under this Agreement. An estimate of these costs, by service
level, is attached as Exhibit B and represents the results of the parties' analysis. The parties
generally anticipate this division of costs will result in the City covering approximately sixty percent
(60%) of operation and maintenance costs and the College covering approximately forty percent
(40%) of operation and maintenance costs. The parties believe this division of costs is fair and
equitable. The parties agree that in the event either party becomes concerned that this division of
costs is no longer fair and equitable, and in any event no less frequently than once every three (3)
years, the parties shall meet in good faith to discuss these concerns and to seek to resolve them.
Page 8 of 13
Generally, the parties intend that future operation and maintenance cost increases that result in
services or improvements that primarily benefit one party should be paid by that party receiving the
benefit. If the services or improvements are of generally equal benefit,the cost increase should be
shared equally by the parties.
The division of costs described above is founded, in part, on the anticipated use of the
Library by the general public as compared to the anticipated use by the College's students, faculty
and staff. An estimate of these use patterns is attachecfas Exhibit C.
Each party shall keep accurate and comprehensive records of their costs and expenditures
associated with meeting their duties and obligations under this Agreement. These records shall be

* Under this option the IGA would be changed so the parties would share all costs on a
60% (City)/40% (College) basis. This change would be needed because the City must pay for some
Maintenance and Utility costs to achieve the 60/40 split.

ESTINIATED USE PATTERNS
The uses of the Library will be different for each entity. The general public's use will involve short
visits to obtain materials with some browsing and some serious study. Computer resources and
World Wide Web access to the Internet will be offered as well. Parents will bring children to select
books and attend children's programs. The public will attend meetings and programs in the
community room.
The College users will require more assistance in using library resources, will check out course-
related reserve materials for short-term in-library use, will receive instructional tours and
presentations, and will use the library for quiet study. While the number of users will be smaller, it
is expected that their use will be more intense and for longer periods of time than the use by the
general public. They will also use the computer resources and World Wide Web access to the
Internet. The demographics of the students suggest that a high percent are parents and will also visit
in that role or combine a study trip with one for their children.
Use projections for the general public and for the College's users are as follows:
FRCC CITY
Annual User Visits
Current 7,452 78,000
Projected 18,216 156,000
Circulation
Current 4,859 185,432
Projected 12,144 370,086
There will be no distinction made between College and general public users or circulation attributable
to each group. These projections merely reflect estimates of users and circulations based on current
usage patterns. The College predicts a 10 percent growth in its present 3,100 student population
with-the opening of the three new campus-facilities library, science building; and student center):
After that a plus or mimes 2 percent growth each year is forecasted.
