This recommendation is to approve an interlocal cooperation agreement between the City of Plano and Plano Independent School District, Solomon Center for adult work experience services/internships at Plano Public Library (PPL). PPL will provide work experience services to Solomon Center students. Plano ISD will be responsible for any fees and expenses incurred through the internship period.

Approval of this agreement will allow PPL to continue to serve and develop work skills for the Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled (IDD) community as it has done for the past four years. These internships provide Plano’s IDD community with assistance to support economic and workforce productivity.

Failure to approve this item will deny Solomon Center students with valuable work experience opportunities and reassign workloads to PPL staff. (City of Plano Contract No. 2025-0085-I)

This item has no financial impact; however, if fees are incurred, continuation of any contract shall be subject to Plano City Council approval.  This agreement is for one (1) twelve month period and shall automatically renew, on the effective date, for an additional four (4) automatic twelve month periods unless sooner terminated, per the agreement.

Approval of this item supports the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factors of Welcoming and Engaged Community and Excellent, Innovative, and Accountable City Government.
