Description

The City of Leduc is considering a Yellowhead Regional Library request to increase its municipal membership levy from $4.85 to $5.60 per capita starting January 1, 2027. The City paid $171,285.00 to YRL in 2025, and Council must decide whether to support the proposed amendment to the Master Membership Agreement. The increase would help YRL address operational cost pressures and reduce its reliance on provincial funds to subsidize core services.

Renewal Info

YRL seeks an amendment to Schedule C of the Master Membership Agreement to reset the municipal per capita levy from $4.85 to $5.60 effective January 1, 2027; increase requires approval from two‑thirds of members representing two‑thirds of the population. The existing levy structure has seen only modest inflationary increases over the past six years after a long freeze.
