This recommendation is to approve an interlocal cooperation agreement between The City of Plano and Collin County Community College District for adult education and literacy services at Plano Public Library (PPL). Collin College will provide Adult Education and Literacy services including English as a Second Language (ESL) at PPL. Collin College will pay for the fees and expenses through grant funding.

Approval of this agreement will allow PPL to continue to serve the community with ESL programs as it has done for the past 16 years. These classes provide Plano’s diverse community with assistance to support economic and workforce productivity.

Failure to approve this item will prevent Plano Public Library from offering ESL classes offered by Collin College for community residents.(City of Plano Contract No. 2024-0643-I)

This item has no financial impact; however, if fees are incurred, continuation of any contract shall be subject to Plano City Council and Collin College Board of Trustee approval.  This agreement commences on the effective date through September 30, 2026 and may be renewed for up to three (3) additional one-year periods, unless terminated sooner, 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.
