Library Resolution

Dedicated Library Advisory Board members left the comfort of their homes Tuesday evening, (as the storm continued to howl), to draft a Resolution that will be presented to City Council on Wednesday, October 21st.

The Board is asking for A Resolution of the City of Pacific Grove Declaring the Intention of the City Council to Continue Its Efforts to Support the Library.

The Resolution presents the facts that:

• The Library is a department of the City.
• The City has already reduced Library funding by more than 50%.
• The City has proposed a special tax to provide funding for the Library.
• The tax, if approved by voters on November 3rd, would generate approximately $630,000 a year, (for 10 years), for the Library.

The Library Board is requesting the City Countil to:

• Encourage citizens to vote for Measure J.
• Acknowledge that the proposed tax, if approved by voters, can only partially fund the Library at the desired level of service.
• Continue its efforts to financially support the Library.
• Confirm the City's responsibility to maintain Library facilities.
