FROM: Phil Batchelor C ilra
County Administrator Costa
DATE: July 13 , 1988 COJ*
SUBJECT: Legislation: Assembly Bill 4290 (Bronzan)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position in support of AB 4290 by Assemblyman Bronzan
which authorizes counties and library districts to impose special
taxes for public library facilities and services.
BACKGROUND:
Under current law, any city, county, or special district may
propose a special tax, which must be approved by 2/3 of the
voters voting at the election.
AB 4290 would specifically authorize cities, counties, and
library districts to place a special tax measure on the ballot to
provide funds for library facilities and services, subject to a
2/3 vote of the people.
Since passage of AB 4290 simply provides local government clear
discretion to place a special tax for library services on the
ballot, it in no way constitutes a mandate. The County
Librarian recommends that the Board of Supervisors support AB
4290 .
