owned by the district.
(b) The district may apply for the lease-purchase of a project

the requirements of a joint-use library for which the district has
entered into a contract, pursuant to subdivision (a).
(c) Should the board receive an application for a project which
includes space for a joint-use library, the board shall evaluate the
application disregarding any space in the proposed library facility
which is beyond the needs of the district, provided the application
contains a copy of the contract specified in subdivision (a), and
provided that the contract contains at least the following:
(1) Agreement that the county or other appropriate entity shall
deposit in the county school lease-purchase fund, created pursuant to
Section 17034, an amount equal to the total cost of any space in the
proposed library facility which is beyond the needs of the district,
prior to the signing of the construction contract for the project.
The deposit shall not be refundable, except to the extent that it may
prove subsequently to be in excess of the actual total cost of the
space which is beyond the needs of the district.
(2) Agreement between the district and the county or other
appropriate entity regarding staffing, maintenance, materials
acquisition, and other matters related to the administration and
operating costs of the joint-use facility.
(3) Agreement between the district and the county or other
appropriate entity regarding the procedure for amendment or
termination of the contract, including the disposition of materials
housed in the joint-use facility should termination of the contract
occur.
(d) Any space in a joint-use library which is beyond the needs of
the district shall not be included by the board in any calculations
made for any other purposes provided for in this article for the
period of time that the contract for that joint-use facility remains
in effect. Should the contract be terminated, the board shall include
the additional space in any calculations made after the termination
for any other purposes provided for in this article.
