Can i document type sign profit sharing agreement template indiana
Good morning everyone my name is Sylvia
Watson and I'm here with Trevor Oakerson for the webinar on interlocal
agreements. I will be helping Trevor monitor the chat box and field
questions that come in. So, without further ado, here is Trevor.
Hello everyone my name is Trevor Oakerson and I am a legal extern at the
Indiana State Library this summer. I'm here to talk to you today about
interlocal agreements. I'm really excited to share this information with you and I
hope that this can help you and your organization grow in beneficial ways. I
am NOT, however, a licensed attorney so I'm only able to give legal information
and not legal advice. I'd also like to let you know that this program will be
roughly 40 minutes long depending on the questions that are asked. This means that
you will receive 1 LEU (library education unit). A certificate will be emailed to you for your
convenience. If you're here and haven't registered you'll have to do so to get
the certificate. Before we get started I just want to point out that you can ask
questions at any time using the chat box. If you have a question about a specific
slide please include the slide number that can be found in the bottom
left-hand corner. At the end of the presentation I will answer as many as I
can to the best of my ability. I am NOT a licensed attorney, however, so I won't be
able to answer any complicated or situation specific questions. I'll provide
contact information for the Library Development Office and Sylvia Watson at
the end of the presentation as well, so if you have specific questions now or
think of questions later you can email them. With that being said, let's go ahead
and get started today. We're going to be talking about interlocal agreements such
as interstate compact agreement, service agreements with townships, and
partnerships with schools or other interlocal agreements. I'm going to
provide you with the minimum requirements required by the state of
Indiana as well as some of the tips for drafting
usable agreements. Some of the information might seem a little
repetitive, but that is because it's worth repeating. Also please note that I have
color-coded the presentation for your convenience. If you're waiting on a
specific type of agreement or you're looking at this video after it has been posted,
the slides for interstate compact agreements will be blue, the slides for
service contracts will be red, and the slides for interlocal agreements will be
yellow, and the drafting recommendations and common contract clauses and
provisions will be gray. Again I put slide numbers in the bottom left-hand
corner so that you can make a note about the location of any important
information. When I was reviewing all of this information I was initially
confused because it seemed like there could be overlap between the types of
agreements. I think it is important that we take a step back for a minute and
talk about how we use each agreement. The interstate compact agreement is the
easiest to identify because these rules will apply whenever you are
entering into an agreement with an agency outside the state of Indiana. It
may be a little more difficult to decide between the service agreement and the
interlocal agreement. Service agreements should be used when the agreement is
between a library and another public library or city, town, township, or county
for the provision or receipt of library services. Interlocal agreements should
be used when the agreement is between public institutions and may include more
than just an extension for library services. First, we will discuss interstate compact
agreements. These agreements are necessary for Indiana libraries that
want to work with non Indiana libraries on providing joint or cooperative
library services to the public. Such agreements are authorized to the extent
that the distribution of the population makes the provision of library services
on an interstate basis the most effective way to provide adequate and
efficient services. The most common type is interstate compact agreements allowing
libraries to issue library cards to the residents of other states. These
agreements are necessary for any type of cooperative agreement between an indiana
library and the library and another state. Before we get started would anyone
like to share any interesting interstate compact agreements that they are aware
of? It doesn't look like we have any so we'll move on. The Indiana State Library
does have a template for these agreements, so feel free to contact
Sylvia Watson for more information. The legal requirements for interstate
compact agreements apply to Indiana and any state bordering Indiana that has
joined the interstate library compact. In order to be part of the interstate
library compact the respective state legislature has to enact laws agreeing
to be a part of the interstate library compact. Currently, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky,
and Illinois are all members of the interstate library compact.
However, Michigan has not joined, so it is not possible for an Indiana library
to do an interstate compact agreement with a library in Michigan. An interstate
library compact agreement between an Indiana library and a library in Ohio,
Kentucky, or Illinois would be allowed. The authority to form interstate compact
agreements is given to the appropriate officials and agencies of both parties,
such as boards or executive directors. For Indiana public libraries the
board is the appropriate authority. Despite this, each compact agreement must
also include an administrator at the Indiana State Library who will advise
the process. The Indiana State Library Director is the compact
administrator for Indiana and must sign off on any interstate compact agreements
entered into by an Indiana library. Sylvia Watson at the Indiana State
library can help you navigate the approval process. A state can withdraw
from the interstate library compact by repealing laws related to the
interstate library compact. In the event a state should do this the compact will
remain in place until six months after the state legislature notice of repeal.
So, you might wonder what the effect this would have on entered
agreements under the library compact ... Well, those individual agreements remain
in effect until the agreement is scheduled to terminate. An interstate
library compact agreement must include the following, and you'll see these on
the screen, first details about the nature of the services facilities
properties or personnel to which the compact is applicable. Second provisions
for the allocation of cost and financial responsibilities. Third the right duties
obligations and liabilities of the parties. Fourth, all terms that are
appropriate to the proper effectuation and performance of the agreement. The
detail and nature of the services facilities properties or personnel to
which the compact is applicable needs to define the important components of the
agreement. What is being exchanged and why it is being exchanged. The provision
for the allocation of cost and other financial responsibilities needs to
describe the budget of the agreement, what each party is paying into the
agreement, and how the finances will be managed. The provision outlining the
right duties obligations and liabilities of the parties needs to specifically and
clearly outline who is responsible for what components
of the agreement. The terms and conditions for the duration renewal or
termination of the agreement needs to specifically list the date the agreement
will be in effect, how the agreement can be renewed upon expiration, or how the
agreement can be terminated prematurely. Additionally you must include terms the
outline how any joint property will be dispersed. Think of the section as an
outline of your exit strategy. Finally the signatures required on an
interstate library compact include your library board and the board of the
neighboring states library. Additionally the compact administrator of both states
involved in the agreement must sign. This is usually the state librarians of each
state. And both States Attorneys General must sign the agreement. The agreement is
not limited to these terms these are only what are required by law. We will
discuss other important clauses and provisions that you might wish to
include at the end of the presentation. I know that we have gone over a lot, so I'm
going to review the most important information that we've touched upon
about interstate compact agreements next. As we wrap up our discussion of
interstate compact agreements, I think that the most important thing you need
to do if you would like to enter into an interstate compact agreement is to
contact Sylvia Watson at the state library. She can provide you with a
template and help you walk through the process, including getting the necessary
signatures and approvals at the state level. Remember you need the signatures
of the boards of both libraries, the compact administrators of those
libraries, and the Attorneys General of those states. Next we will discuss the laws that allow
Indiana libraries to contract to provide library services to another Indiana
public library or other Indiana Municipal units such as unserved
Townships. The most common type of agreement under this section of the code
are the township agreements where a Township pays a library to provide
services to the townships unserved residents. These are a little less
complicated than the interstate compact agreements, so we only need to look at
two sections of the Indiana code. Before we move on does anyone have any
interesting contracts for library services that they would like to share? Well, we'll go ahead and move on. These
agreements are much more straightforward than the requirements for the interstate
compact agreement. The agreement itself only requires the description of the
manner and extent of the library service and the amount of compensation for the
extension of that service. Despite this you will likely want to include
additional details in your agreement, and we will go over a few common contract
clauses in a few minutes. While the law doesn't specify the dollar amount to set
in the case of providing library cards to residents of contracting Township the
State Library recommends that the Township should pay the full
non-resident rate for the cards so that the library districts tax taxpayers are
not subsidizing library cards for the Township resident. The compensation for
the agreed upon amount identified in the contract must be acquired by one of two
ways. Most municipal corporations must levy a specific tax to pay for the
contract expenses. Municipal corporations located in Miami County, however, have the
additional option of using existing tax money from other sources.
The library is required to spend all money received for the contract on
providing the services outlined in the contract.Finally we'll go over the
general interlocal agreement rules. These are not library specific that can be
used to benefit libraries in important ways. For example we have seen these
agreements between libraries and local schools to split staffing time and costs.
Other interlocal agreements might include partnerships with municipalities
or other public cultural resources. These rules are a little more comprehensive
than the township agreements, but still pretty straightforward.
Before we move on does anybody have any interesting interlocal agreements that
they would like to share? Well it looks like we don't have any so we'll move on. These laws apply to any public
institutions in the state of Indiana and the public institutions of other states
or the federal government to the extent that they are allowed to enter such
agreement. *** And it does look like Vickie has said that they have an agreement
with a school to provide local staff so that's a great example of how these
partnerships can really help libraries fulfill their mission and help benefit
the literacy rates the communities around them. *** Before drafting these
agreements it is important to note that the powers can be allocated to either
party or to both parties acting jointly. This means that these agreements need to
be specific about who is responsible for which provisions of the agreement. For
example, a partnership with a local school corporation might allocate
funding for the acquisition of academic resources, so the agreement would have
the option of assigning responsibility for those purchases in
one of three ways. That responsibility can be designated to the library, to the
school, or to a joint committee or designee acting on behalf of both. Every
interlocal agreement under this chapter must include the duration of the
agreement, the purpose of the agreement, the manner in which it will be managed
and budgeted, the ways in which it may be terminated or modified, a description of
the administration of the agreement, and the method of acquiring holding and
disposal disposing of any property of the agreement. The agreement may include
any other important provisions appropriate to the situation and we will
discuss that what types of provisions may be included shortly. The duration of
the agreement needs to outline the timeframe of the agreement and should
also include any key dates such as the start date the end dates, and any other
significant dates that the agreement will require. The purpose of the
agreement needs to outline the benefits provided to each party of the agreement
as well as the goals of the agreement. Parties entering into an interlocal
agreement may allocate resources such as money, personnel, services, and facilities
to carry out the agreement all of these resources should be fully described in
the agreement. The manner of managing and budgeting the agreement needs to detail
the financial responsibilities of the parties to carry out the agreement and
the financial plans underlying the agreement. This section should include
any payment information including who needs to pay whom, how much needs to be
paid, when the payments need to be received, and how the payments can be
made. The method of terminating an agreement needs to outline the process
of how the agreement can be ended early and if so ended how any property will be
divided. You must include the method of termination, but depending on the
agreement this may may not be a good place to include the
means of amending or changing the agreement. The description of the
administration of the agreement needs to outline whether a new organization will
be created and delegated powers by the parties to the agreement, or if the
agreement will be managed through a joint board. This decision is really
important and the appropriate choice depends a lot on the nature of the
agreement. It is also important to know that any legal entity or joint board
established for the administration of the agreement only has the powers
delegated to it in the agreement. So now that we've gone over what is required,
we'll go over some more general rules. All of these interlocal agreements need
the approval of the Attorney General unless it meets three qualifications.
First the agreement must only involve Indiana public institutions. Second the
agreement must be approved by the fiscal body of each party. Third the agreement
must delegate a treasurer to disburse and account for any monies within the
joint undertaking. Again, if the agreement does not meet these three qualifications
then the approval of the Attorney General is needed. This rule is meant to
make sure that the money and resources are being used appropriately. Additionally, if the
agreement includes the provision of services or facilities that a state
officer or state agency has the power to control, that officer or agency must
provide approval. This means that those ordinarily responsible for a given
service or facility must be made aware of and approve any agreements that
change their responsibilities. There is an important caveat to this particular
rule for libraries. In the case of reciprocal borrowing agreements between
public libraries, this approval is assumed. The agreement must only allow
access to collections to holders of the library cards from another library.
Despite not needing approval for reciprocal borrowing agreements between
libraries, a copy of the reciprocal borrowing agreement must still be
provided to the state library for records keeping purposes.
I think that this particular caveat for libraries is actually a little redundant,
because there are specific provisions already in place for libraries that want
to extend their services to card holders from other libraries, and we discussed
those agreements and the extension of services contract agreement section (in red). Finally, before the interlocal agreement
takes effect the agreement must be recorded with the County Recorder in
the county in which the library is located. The agreement must then be filed
with the State Board of accounts for audit purposes within 60 days of going
into effect. Before we move on I would like to discuss a couple of nuances that
may or may not be important depending on the situation underlying the agreement.
First the rules relating to interlocal agreements for purchase sale or exchange
of services supplies or equipment. Second the rules relating to the transfer
combination or sharing of powers duties or resources. Indiana Code 36-1-7-12
applies to purchases sales or exchanges of services supplies or equipment this
subsection modifies the typical procedure whenever the contract is between public entities. First contracts of this nature
between Indiana governmental entities are exempt from the normal public
posting requirements. Second whenever the contract permits one Indiana
governmental entity to make purchasing decisions for the other compliance with
the governing statues by one party transfers to the other party. Third when
a governmental entity is making a purchase from another governmental
entity compliance with state purchasing law on the part of the purchaser
transfers. Fourth, two or more governmental entities may procure together or with a
nonprofit entity as long as it follows public purchasing laws. I would
encourage anyone forming these types of agreements to
reference the applicable laws relating to the posting of publicness notices, to
the public bidding walls, and to purchasing laws before entering into any
agreement. Next IC 36-1-7-16 governs the transfer, combination, or sharing of
powers, duties, functions, or resources, particularly in the area of budgets,
rates, and levies. This applies in cases when an agreement would result in
savings or reduction in foreseeable expenses. In these cases the agreement
must specify the amount--if any--of the decrease. The financial body of the
benefiting subdivision must then make those decreases known to the Department
of Local Government Finance for the purposes of limiting and eliminating double
taxation by different political subdivisions, or to eliminate any excess
property taxes resulting from the savings. Again these provisions may or
may not be relevant depending on your situation but you do need to comply if
they are applicable. Now that we've gone through the basic legal requirements, I'd
like to offer a few drafting recommendations. First and foremost
always review the applicable law before drafting because it may have been
modified or updated. Additionally there is rarely any need to fast-track and an
interlocal agreement, so always take your time to think the agreement through to
be clear, concise, and consistent, to pay attention to grammar, punctuation, and
formatting. Take the time to define all of the important terms and identify all
of the important parties of the agreement. Finally the state library can
provide examples and guidance as needed. You should always, however, consult your
local legal counsel because it is better to ask and find out than guess and be
wrong. In addition to what is required by law
and what is necessary to make sure each party understands their respective
responsibilities under the contract, you might consider including some of the
general contract provisions. Some of these may or may not be appropriate
depending on the year agreement. You may want to include an assignment clause to
determine whether rights obligations and duties under contract may be transferred
in whole or in part to another and under what conditions. This helps everyone keep
track of who is responsible for what under the agreement and how that
responsibility is allocated. You may want to include an approval and filing clause
that outlines the approval process for the agreement, where the agreement
shall be recorded, and who is responsible for recording and filing. This helps the
parties understand when an agreement begins and where the record of the
agreement is kept. It also makes sure that the agreement is filed because it
outlines who is responsible for filing the agreement. You may want to include a
conflict of interest clause stipulating that neither the parties nor their
agencies may have any conflict of interest that will affect the
performance of the agreement, and that should any conflicts of interest arise, they
will be disclosed immediately. This ensures that the agreement is being
drafted and will be conducted in good faith. You may want to include a force
majure clause that allows the parties to terminate the agreement should an
outside force such as the natural disaster or a change in the law impact
their ability to perform their obligations. This protects the parties
from the agreement should external circumstances prevent fulfilment from
being possible. You may want to include a limitation of liability clause that
limits the responsibility of the parties for the behavior of the other, and when
it's the responsibility of either party for any injury to the extent legally
possible. This can protect the parties from each other and allows
responsibility to be assigned to the appropriate party. You may want to include a merger and modification clause that states that
the document is intended to be the final expression of the agreement and outlines
the process that the parties must go through to make any additional changes
to the agreement. This prevents the negotiations leading up to the agreement
from being introduced into the agreement and makes all parties aware of what
their responsibilities are. You may want to include a notice to parties provision
to outlines where and how any important notice regarding the agreement can be
sent. This makes it clear how the parties may officially communicate and ensures
that the appropriate individuals receive the notice. You may want to
include an ownership clause for any documents or materials that an agreement
may produce to make it clear who has control over any work product. Remember,
some types of agreements require a plan for the distribution of materials
acquired under an agreement between the parties. You may want to include a
renewal clause that explains how the contract can be renewed after it's
expiration. This helps the parties understand when an agreement ends or
continues and where the agreement is kept. You might want to include a
severability clause that preserve the agreement even if the specific provision
is ruled against in subsequent court proceeding. You might want to include a
payment clause the outlines how much, when ,and where payments for the
agreement may be made. This makes the responsibilities of each party much
clearer, prevents misunderstandings, and allows for better documentation. You
might want to include a waiver of Rights clause that protects the parties from
waiving their rights under the agreement by failing to enforce a particular right.
This is important because it preserves the document as the final statement of
the agreed-upon rights and protects parties from waving rights, intentionally
or unintentionally. Take a moment to notice how these clauses might change,
clarify, and otherwise impact the provisions that are required by law.
It is important to note that should the agreement be disputed the document
itself will be the starting point for any legal proceedings. This means that it
is very important to consider each provision in the context of the larger
document. So, before we take questions and begin to wrap up, I thought it might be
helpful to look at an example and walk through a contract piece by piece. I've
done my best to remove identifiers, so anytime you see a generic identifier
such as "high school" it is a placeholder for a more specific proper noun. This
contract is between a public library and a local school system. They are
partnering to bring library services to the local high school, and are drafting
the contract under IC 36-1-7. There are some things I really like
about this contract, but there are also some things that I really do not like.
Take a moment to look at the heading and introduction of the contract. The title
of the contract is generally at the top of the agreement on the first page and
should outline clearly and concisely the nature of the agreement. I like the way
that they drafted this title because it tells you what the
agreement is and who the parties are. These do not need to be elaborate. And, I
will note again that I have used generic placeholders rather than the proper
nouns that were originally in the document. Next look at the introduction.
The introductory clause should usually include the type of the
agreement, the date of the agreement and the parties to the agreement. This
particular agreement does not include that date, but that's ok. Also if you are
drafting an agreement under one of the statutes we talked about today you
should reference the statute. This group did that as well as outlining the
purpose of the agreement. I would like to take a moment and talk about the
style that these groups used: You don't have to try to use legalese to make a
good, usable document. The focus should really be on being as clear and concise
as possible. Additionally they have tabulated their agreement and broken it
down into several proclamations. This is not really necessary and a simple
straightforward introductory paragraph would be sufficient. After the title and introduction the
contract then outlines the duration and purpose of the agreement. Remember, if
you're drafting a general interlocal agreement both the duration and purpose
are required by law. These are pretty straightforward examples and both are
clear and concise. I also like that so far the agreement is following the
requirements of the statute like a checklist. This makes everything clear.
Now that they've got the duration and purpose they still need to include four
other provisions by law. First, the manner of financing staffing and supplying
undertaking. Second, the methods to partially or completely terminating the
agreement. Third, how the agreement will be administered. And, finally, the manner
of acquiring holding and disposing of joint property. The next section of the
agreement that they chose to include is the administration section outlining the
joint advisory board. This takes us out of the order of the Code section but
that's okay. The agreement is still clear and concise. In this case they chose to
put together a joint advisory board they outlined the purpose of the board, the
composition of the board, the duties of the board, and the limits of the board's
authority. They seem to have done a really good job of thinking this through.
I would also like to note that outlining the powers of the Joint Board and the
limits of the board are very important! These powers need to be explicitly
outlined because the statute says that the only powers that the joint board can
exercise must be delegated to the joint board. Remember, interlocal agreements must
include the manner of financing staffing and supplying a joint undertaking.
They must also include the manner of acquiring holding and disposing of
property. Here the parties seem to have combined these two sections. This is okay
but I think it would be clearer and easier to follow the order that is
outlined in the statute. Despite this, they did a really good job of going
through their specific situation with a fine-tooth comb. In Section A, they
outlined the initial equipment and real property involved. In Section B, they
detailed who is going to manage the equipment, who is going to acquire
additional equipment, and who is going to own that equipment. In Section C, they
outline how the library will be operated, including the hours that will be open
and what services will be included. In Section D, they detail how the expenses
will be allocated and who will provide the funds. In Section E, they talked about
the staff that each of party will provide to the library. In Section F, they
provide for the expansion and renovation of the facility if agreed upon by both
parties. This is interesting because it shows one of the ways that a power can
be delegated but still limited. Finally, in Section G they outline how
gifts to the library will be handled. Again, you can really tell they put a lot
of thought into this and they did a really good job of keeping the agreement
organized and clear. I know I already mentioned it that they also provided a
great example of how you might delegate a power in a limited capacity by
providing for that power but still requiring the approval of both parties.
This gives the joint board the option of exercising that power if they need to,
but it still preserves the powers of the parties involved. The section discussing determination and
disposition of the property is the last section that we need under Indiana law.
They have clearly outlined how a termination may take place and what the
process after termination will look like. One thing that I noticed in this section
is that they discuss donations to the "high school library." That this is the
only reference to the high school library as its own entity. I think that the
context makes everything pretty clear, but that that could be a little bit
confusing if you're not careful. Especially if they reference the "high
school library" somewhere else with a slightly different context. This is also
why I advised against legalese, jargon, or terms of art. If legal jargon or terms of
art are used in a slightly different way from their larger context, it can be
confusing and unclear. Most of the time this is okay but if the document comes
into question, it might be a point of contention. Remember if a judge were to
review the contract then they would give each word and phrase meaning and the
meaning they would give each word and phrase would be impacted by all the
other words and phrases of the contract. In law we refer to this as the
"four-corners doctrine" because the judge will start determining meaning and
responsibilities based on the content within the four corners of the document.
My point here is that you have to be very careful and intentional about the
way you approach drafting a document. Now that they met all the legal
requirements, they decided to include additional provisions such as those we
just discussed. They provided a separate provision for notice, making it very clear how communication
regarding the contract should be sent and received. I really like the way they
did this because it makes it so clear and it outlines every little detail. They decided it was necessary to outline the ways in which the contract
impacts their existing responsibilities. They decided to include a non-discrimination clause
because there is a staffing agreement in the contract, and to include a
severability clause to limit the impact of any particular clause being ruled
against. They stipulated that any power outlined in the agreement can only be
delegated with consent of both parties in the assignment clause. Remember, these
all impact the way the document is read and understood. I really encourage
everyone to think carefully about what the full document means. They
also include a second provision about the ownership of materials. I think it is
interesting that they chose to include this here because it seems slightly
redundant because this should have been clear based on the clauses that are
required by law. I would recommend trying not to be repetitive or redundant
because sometimes it could be contradictory and confusing. In this
situation, I think this mirrors the other language and wouldn't necessarily cause
a problem, but this would be an easy way to slip up. They also included a waiver
of Rights clause, a force majure clause, an approval and filing clause, and a
limitation of liability clause. One clause that they included warrants a
little more explanation: They included a supplemental documents clause that
allows them to draft new documents that help execute this agreement. I would be
cautious about including this clause in these agreements because there is often
an additional merger and modification clause that allows them to change the
agreement. Moving forward the parties will want to be absolutely clear about
what is a modification of the document and what is a supplemental
agreement made in support of the joint undertaking. Finally, they noted that the
rest of the page is intentionally left blank. I think that this is helpful even
though I think that it would more often than not be unnecessary. The remaining
pages in the document are merely the signature pages. So, before we move on I,
just like to encourage everyone to again take a moment to think about how all of
these clauses might change the agreement. I would also like to remind everyone
that the State Library has examples and templates of agreements that they are
able to share with you. I know it's been a very long presentation with a lot of
information. We went over interstate compact agreements, we went over the
contract for services agreements, and the interlocal agreements, before
finishing with drafting recommendations, common contract provisions and clauses,
and an example agreement. So before we wrap it all up I'd like to take a moment
and ask if there are any questions. Okay, so, Eric is asking about a Michigan
bill that's in the house. I'm assuming he's talking about a bill for them to
join the interstate library compact and I was not aware that that had been
introduced in the house. I was aware it was being considered, so I don't actually
have any updated information on the timeline for when that would pass, but
we'll take a look at that and and keep an eye out for that one. Michelle
asked if there are townships that are contracted with to provide services and
if they are supposed to pay a tax levy, and the answer to that question is yes.
They are unless they are in Miami County, in which they can use existing taxes. It
looks like Michelle asked if they are permitted to enter into a contract with
townships across county line. I think that based on the reading of the statute
it seems like you can because it allows you to contract directly with a township,
so I don't think that the county lines are particularly significant. But I would
be careful about noting where you're filing that joint agreement. So it looks likeMichelle is typing, but this is the time to ask any other questions
again if you have any others that you think of later or you're viewing this
after we've gone over everything I will be providing the information for the
State Library Development Office and can provide the email to you on the next slide. Michelle you asked about the filing
rules again do you know which type of agreement you would like to look at? Ok
hold on one second I will pull up that slide again. If I recall correctly these are
required to be filed in the county of the library so for example if you're
contracting with a Township across county lines you have to file that in
the library county. Okay it doesn't look like we've gotten any other questions so
we'll go ahead and wrap it up, if you guys are ready. Thank you guys so much
for your time and I really hope that the presentation has helped. For more
information or guidance you can contact the Library Development Office or Sylvia
Watson. Thank you so much! Thank you for your time and remember the
state library does have examples of agreements that you can be reviewing and
to use to kind of guide your own agreement. Thank you so much!
