DATE: August 30, 1993 MATTER OF RECORD
------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
Supervisor Tom Torlakson, Chair, opened the Special Meeting
of the Board of Supervisors at 7 p.m. this day to consider
proposals to deal with the impact of the State Budget cuts to the
County Library System and to consider authorizing a reward for
information leading to the arrest and conviction of the killer of
Masakazu Kuriyama, a Japanese exchange student. Present were
Supervisors Bishop and Torlakson; absent were Supervisors Powers,
Smith, and McPeak.
The Chair, noting that a quorum of the Board was not present,
advised that the meeting would be conducted as a community forum
for the sharing of information and proposals to address the
funding crises in the County Library System. Since the Board
would not be able to act on offering a reward this evening,
Supervisor Torlakson requested the County Administrator to list
this matter for Board consideration at its next meeting, which is
September 14, 1993 .
Following presentation of Anne Marie Gold, County Librarian,
it was noted that the cities of Antioch, Martinez, Orinda, and San
Ramon have committed funds for library services within their
respective jurisdictions. It was also noted that other city
councils also would be considering allocating funds to their
libraries when they meet in September.
Comments from persons speaking included support for the
branch libraries and outlets as well as support for a strong
central library; allocation of the $25, 000 from the mitigation fee
paid by Pacific Refining to the Rodeo Library; comparison of the
per capita funding for libraries; proposal for a utility tax to
fund library services; potential impact on the City of Richmond
Library System as a result of reduced County library services; a
concern with impact on union members because of staff reductions
in the library system; a request that the County defer the 66 lay-
offs effective August 31, 1993, in anticipation of a commitment of
funds from those city councils who will be considering this at
their September meetings; collection of rental fees for use of
meeting rooms in libraries or computer equipment; a willingness by
a County nurse to give up 40 hours of her paid vacation to support
library services; a development of a marketing approach that would
include soliciting contributions from large corporations; and a
proposal to approach school districts to assist with the operation
and/or provide funding for libraries within their districts, i.e. ,
the sharing of resources.
All persons desiring to speak were heard. Supervisor
Torlakson requested the County Administrator to determine if the
lay-offs proposed for the Library could be deferred pending
commitments from cities to off-set or modify the lay-off list.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at
9:20 p.m.
THIS I8 A MATTER FOR RECORD PURPOSES ONLY

JEFFREY V. SMITH RECEIVES '
SUPERVISORIAL DISTRICT TWO I
AUG 3 01993
August 30, 1993 CLERK BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
CONTRA COSTA CO.
Mr. Tom Torlakson, Chairman
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors
300 E . Leland Ave. Suite 100
Pittsburg, CA. 94565
Dear Tom,
I wanted to let you know some of my thoughts regarding tonight ' s
meeting, since there is a good possibility I will be unable to
attend. Since the meeting was scheduled during my vacation, I was
unable to reschedule my County clinic which is held on Mondays . As
you can imagine, my patients are anxious to make appointments
especially since I have not been available this past week or so.
These clinics are always full and it is close to impossible for me
to find a replacement without several week' s notice.
I am very sorry that I will not be in attendance tonight since I
have gone on record NOT supporting cuts to the library system.
Judging by the amount of calls and letters I have received, there
are many who share my feelings . I hope that the issue of the
donation made by Pacific Refining to the Rodeo Library will be
discussed tonight. It is my feeling that this money should be
returned to Rodeo so it can be used for the purpose it was
intended.
Please express my disappointment to all that I cannot attend this
evening, or will at least not be able to be there for the entire
meeting. Good luck and I hope we will be able to discuss tonight' s
meeting soon.
Sincere
JVS/jhk
