Library Ballot Measure

Get this on the ballot for March 2011

WE NEED TO SHOW CITY COUNCIL HOW IMPORTANT THE LIBRARY IS TO THIS CITY!

THE CITY COUNCIL WILL DISCUSS A PROPOSED BALLOT MEASURE TO RESTORE LIBRARY FUNDING & SERVICE HOURS by increasing the Library’s Charter appropriation.

DURING THE MEETING, THE COUNCIL WILL ACCEPT PUBLIC COMMENT & WILL... DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT TO PLACE THE MEASURE ON THE BALLOT FOR THE MARCH 2011 ELECTION.

The proposed ballot measure would increase the Library’s Charter-mandated funding from .0125% to .0300%--effectively restoring the Library budget to its 2009 level and gradually restoring service to 6 days a week at the community branches and 7 days a week at the regional branches and Central Library.

If placed on the March 2011 ballot, this measure would require only a simple majority of the vote to pass and would result in no new taxes; it would reallocate a small portion of existing city funds to the Library.
