City of Hermosa Beach --- 05-11-99


SB3 CALIFORNIA LIBRARY CONSTRUCTION

AND RENOVATION BOND ACT


Recommendation:


That the City Council endorse SB3 and authorize the Mayor to send a letter of support and direct staff to track the bill through the legislative process.


Background:


This legislation will authorize the voters to consider on November 7, 2000, a $1,000,000,000 bond issue for construction and renovation of public libraries throughout California. A component of the bill would allow cities to apply for grants that would be used to build and improve local libraries.


This bond measure, if passed, could be helpful to the City if we eventually leave the County system or, if we stay, in getting improvements made to our library. If we left the system, a bond measure could provide matching funds of up to 65% for local projects.
