Library, a Washington municipal corporation and a political

� as "Library" ) and the City of Bremerton, a Washington municipal
. corporation and political subdivision of the State of Washington
(hereinafter referred to as "City").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the residents of the City voted to annex into the
Kitsap County Rural Library District in September, 1985, the �
annexation to be accamplished in January, 1987; and .
WHEREAS, the Library and City reached agreement as to the
terms and conditions of the annexation which were memorialized in
a Concomitant Agreement executed the 13th day of August, 1985, by

WHEREAS, said Concomitant Agreement is in need ot revision
to reflect changes in circumstances since the original agr2ement
was entered into; and
WHEREAS, the citizens of the City of Bremerton in November,
1974, passed and approved a general obligation bond which was
promulgated by Ordinance No. 3163 ana is referred to as the 1976
_�
General Obligation Bond of the City of Bremerton; and
1
� i
�� • ,
WHEREAS, the levy within the City limits for the 1976 •
General Obligation Bond from time to time may fail to cover the
City's annual payment on the General Obli`gation Bond; and
WHEREAS, the Library desires to maintain clear title to all
the assets of the Kitsap�Rural Library District, now, therefore
FOR AND IN CONSIDERA'rION of the mutual covenants and
promises contained herein, and the mutual benefits to be derived
therefrom, the parties hereto agree to amend the Concomitant
Agreement executed on the 13th day of August, 1985.
1. New sections are added to the Concomitant Agreement to
read:
(a) Payments: Library agrees to pay to the City the
annual deferential (if any> between ; the amount of levy raised '
within the City for the 1976 General Obligation Bond, and the
actual annual payment requi�red on said General Obligation Bond.
(b) Attorney Fees: In the event of litigation between
the parties concerning this contract, the prevailing party shall
be entitled to reasonable attorney fees and costs of litigation.
2. Section 3 of the Concomitant Agreement is revised to
read:
Conveyance of �I'itle: In consideration for Library's
payment of the annual deierential as defined above, the City
• agrees that Library shall retain title and ownership of City's
pro rata share of the headquarters building, located at 1301
5ylvan Way in the City of Bremerton, plus the City's interest in
all Library equipment, supplies, books, and any and all ottier
personal property purchased by the City for Library purposes.
2 . .
, , •'
Because these amounts have depreciated in value over time,
conveyance by the City in consideration for the Library's payment
upon the 1976 General Obligation,Bond is just and equitable.
3. This Agreement is intended as an addendum to and a �
revision of the Concomitant Agreement of the 13th day of Aug ust,
1985, and is designed to reflect the actual conditions and
working relationship between the parties. All provisions of said
Agreement not amended by this instr ument shall remain in full
force and effect.

AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT made and entered into this �/ � of
/i�p� �Jei2 ► 1982, by and between the KITSAP
REGIONAL LIBRARY, a Washington municipal corporation, and
political subdivision of the State of Washington (hereinafter
referred to as the "Library"), and THE CITY OF BREMERTON, a
Washington municipal corporation, and political subdivision of
the State of Washington (hereinafter referred to as the "City").
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the Library extends library services to the
City pursuant to the provisions of the library laws of the State
of Washington, and the City compensates the Library therefor
pursuant to a contract entered into between the Kitsap County
Rural Library District and the City of Bremerton, pursuant to
R.C.W. 27.12.080, dated July 5, 1955, and effective August l,
1955 ; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to revise the
compensation and funding provisions with respect to the July 5,
1955, contract for future years;
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual
covenants and promises contained herein, and the mutual benefits
to be derived therefrom, the parties hereto agree as follows:
�- FUNDING
l. The City agrees to pay to the Library an amount of
TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED TWO DOLLARS
($273,502.00) for library services to be performed during the
calen�dar year 1982. The City shall pay the said sum, TWO HUNDRED
SEVENTY THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED TWO DOLLARS ($273,502.00),
with the City to be given credit for payments made during the
calendar year 1982 to the date this agreement is executed, and
the City shall continue to make those periodic payments for the
remainder of calendar year 1982 so that the total amount paid for
calendar year 1982 shall be in the amount of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY
, 1 /'✓l J'�-
�
� n • • �
� '
i ,
THOUSAND DOLLARS ($250,000.00). The then remaining balance of
said contracted amount, TWENTY-THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED TWO
DOLLARS ($23,502.00), shall be paid by the City to the Library
upon a deferred payment basis. The City shall pay this
additional amount by the end of January, 1983, if the City budget
shall allow for payment to be made at that time. In no event
shall the additional TWENTY-THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED TWO
DOLLARS ($23,502.00) be paid later than June 30, 1983. It is
further agreed between the City and the Library that the City
shall pay to the Library any interest on this deferred payment
amount, in the event the Library must borrow those additional
funds•in the amount of TWENTY-THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED TWO
DOLLARS ($23,502.00), which interest amount to be paid by the
City shall be paid at the same interest rate as is paid by the
Library for the borrowing of those additional funds.
R.� ��
2. Beginning as of January l, 198�, the City of i/ � ' �
Bremerton agrees to budget and pay monthly an amount of funds
ascertained by the following formula:
The City's previous annual library district
contribution (TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY-THREE THOU SAND
FIVE HUNDRED TWO DOLLARS [$273,502.00]), plus a,�
percentage increase equal to the percentage � ;��-.� �r
. ;
� increase in the general property tax levy revenues
in the budget year for the Regional Library as
�
compared to the previous year. Tax revenues used
shall be those established by the Kitsap County
Assessor for the unincorporated areas of Kitsap
County. However, the total amount of moneys which
0
the City of Bremerton has to pay to the Regional �
Library over any four-year period shall not
exceed an amount equal to the total which would
have been paid if the same rate per thousand
dollars of assessed real property valuation were
�
��
2
�'^ ' � �
s... .
applied to the City tax base as was applied to the
tax base of the Rural Library District.
3. It is further agreed that this funding formula is
conditional upon the right of either party to set aside this
manner of funding and to renegotiate, in good faith, subsequent
funding terms in the event of a substantial change of
circumstances in any of the following areas:
A. Should change in federal or state law
substantially change funding of rural library
districts•or municipalities;
B. Should the county assessor change the
property reassessment schedule in the Rural Library
District;
C. Should the City increase its tax base by
substantial incorporation of areas around it.
The renegotiation of the funding formula shall be accomplished
within ninety days following any of the above enumerated changes.
During this period of renegotiation the funding formula shall
continue to be as is set forth above. Once a new formula has
been renegotiated, it shall be effective retroactively from the
date of one of the above enumerated changes.
4. The f unding formula set forth in paragraph 2 above
shall be reviewed every fourth year by both parties for
adjustments, which adjustments will be ratified by both parties.
� USE AND OPERATION
5. The Treasurer of Kitsap County, State of
Washington, is recognized as the custodian of library funds
pursuant to R.C.W. 27.12.080.
6. The Library shall perform all of the f unctions as
are normally provided and called for under the laws of the State
of Washington for public libraries within the City, and

Library also provides library services for residents of Kitsap �
3
�rr`
(
� �
` ) , . ' • � �
� �.�. .
County. The library services provided to the citizens of the
City shall be of comparable quality as those provided to other
cities and county areas within Kitsap County.
7. The City shall continue to make available to the
Library that certain building located at 612 - 5th Street,
Bremerton, Washington, which the Library shall use as a branch
library. The Library shall provide library services to such
location without any rental expense paid to the City, and the
City shall furnish, at its own cost, all utility services,
including but not limited to heating, electricity, sewer and
water, and shall continue to make provisions for said building in
the same manner as has been the practice and custom with respect
to said building as between the City and the Library since the
initial use by the Library of said building, and as performed
under the 1955 contract. The Library shall continue to meet its �
responsibilities and performances as has been the custom and
practice of the Library with respect to said building under the
1955 contract, since said building was originally utilized by the
Library pursuant to said contract; Provided, that either party
hereto may terminate the tenancy created hereunder by giving the
other party ninety (90) days written notice of its intention to
terminate such tenancy.
8. The Library services to be performed, and the
relationships between the City and the Library shall continue in
the same manner, custom and practice as that which has existed
since the entering of the July 5, 1955, contract, and as
performed pursuant to that contract, the purpose of this
agreement being to provide an alternative funding method for
future years. It is not the intent or the purpose of this
agreement in any way to alter or affect the July 5, 1955,
contract, or the practice thereof, except to the extent that the
funding provisions of that contract will not be observed.
Otherwise, the 1955 contract is incorporated herein by reference,
and is applicable unless otherwise negotiated or agreed by the �

agreement to be executed the day and year first above written.
