18104. (a) It is in the interest of the state to authorize the
Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District to enter into a
joint-use arrangement with another public entity for operation of a
joint-use library facility located on land, in close proximity to a
schoolsite, owned by the school district or by another public agency.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District may enter into a
contract with the county, the city, or other appropriate entity
having responsibility for the provision of public library services,
in which the district is located for the purpose of operating a
joint-use library facility at a schoolsite owned by the district or
at a site, within one mile of the schoolsite, owned by the school
district, the county, the city, or other appropriate entity having
responsibility for the provision of public library services in that
area.
(c) The Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District may apply
for the lease-purchase of a project that includes a library facility,
funded entirely with local funds, which facility, if constructed,
would be of sufficient size to accommodate the requirements of a
joint-use library for which the district has entered into a contract,
pursuant to subdivision (b).
(d) The contract specified in subdivision (b) shall contain at
least all of the following:
(1) Agreement that the county, city, or other appropriate entity
shall deposit with the school district an amount equal to the total
cost of any space in the proposed library facility that is beyond the
needs of the district, prior to the signing of the construction
contract for the project. The deposit shall not be refundable, except
to the extent that it may prove subsequently to be in excess of the
actual total cost of the space that is beyond the needs of the
district.
(2) Agreement between the district and the county, the city, or
other appropriate entity regarding staffing, maintenance, materials
acquisition, and other matters related to the administration and
operating costs of the joint-use facility. The agreement shall
provide that the school district shall not be responsible for any
costs that are not related to the school use of the joint-use
facility.
(3) Agreement between the district and the county, the city, or
other appropriate entity regarding the procedure for amendment or
termination of the contract, including the disposition of materials
housed in the joint-use facility should termination of the contract
occur.
(e) A joint-use facility constructed pursuant to this section
shall comply with all requirements applicable to school facilities.
