resources to the citizens. The City Council further supports annexation of the Library District as
an efficient and appropriate use of the District's taxing power to fund library services,
particularly in light of an Interlocal Agreement between the City and the Library District which
{WSS468756.DOC;1/00006.900000/} - 1 -
provides for additional cooperative support and transfer of resources to best reflect the economic
realities of annexation.
Section 2. The citizens of the City of Edmonds are therefore urged to vote yes for
annexation of the City to the Sno -Isle Library District.
