Um discussion possible action to approve deny the state grant and aid agreement between the town of Parker and Leaz County, Phoenix.

Good evening, mayor and council. Um we are asking for you guys to um approve the state grants in aid subreient agreement between the town of Parker and La Paz County. The county is giving is given SGIA funds and they disperse the funds to the libraries within La Paz County. The Park Parker Public Library will receive $4,500 um of these funds per the agreement. there's no fiscal impact to the town. Um, following the approval of this, we will get the agreement signed and submitted to the county and then they will disperse the funds.

Okay. Thank you, Phoenix. Any any questions, discussion? How much total funds is the county uh given out for this or how much were they awarded to give out various libraries? Um, I don't know off the top of my head. I believe it's in the agreement that was in your packet. Um, Nora, do you have that

it was $25,000 total and I think 4500 for the to the town. Yes. Thank you, Christina. How many do you know? and how many total uh libraries that it's being split up in between. Uh it just seems, you know, the Parker Public Library is probably one of the larger libraries within that area. So I'm just wondering what is there justification for that amount compared to, you know, a different amount. Um I believe it's split between Bos Centennial ourselves um

cords site um and I don't know the reasoning it's been about the same rate or the same amount in the past for as long as I've been here. So that's usually what we budget for to um whenever we're anticipating the funds to come in. So you believe it's split evenly over all the liaries in the county. I don't know if it's even per se. Um that's just what we're given. Um mind you that they're Le Paz County libraries versus we're funded by the town. So yeah, I think if you looked at it populationwise, Parker's 3,000

court sites four or 5,000 I think. Now if you took in the whole Wendon, Salom, Vixsburg, they're probably a few thousand. That would be my guess, but Okay. Anything else? Did we have a motion to approve? It's been moved. Okay. And seconded to approve the um state aid in agreement grant. Any further discussion? All those in favor?

I I opposed. Motion carries. Thank you. Thank you, Phoenix. Any um reports from liaison? Joint venture has a meeting tomorrow. Joint venture.
