Municipal Advisory Council, for Rodeo Library services, pursuant to the local refinery
Good Neighbor Agreement for the period July 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011.

received from Rodeo Municipal Advisory Council will fund four additional hours of library
service from July 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011, which allows the Library to open
two evenings, and one additional hour on Saturdays thereby providing Rodeo residents
more opportunities to make use of the educational and recreational resources available in the
library.

Subject:Apply for and Accept East Bay Community Foundation Grant Funds Administered by the Rodeo Municipal
Advisory Council
The Rodeo Library will be only be open 18 hours each week and will not be able to provide
evening hours if grant funds are not approved and received.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
This grant supports the community outcome of Communities that are Safe and Provide a
High Quality of Life for Children and Families. Many Rodeo residents are only able to use
the Rodeo Library due to transportation difficulties and/or age (particularly children and
teens who cannot yet drive). The Rodeo Library remains an important part of the
community’s civic life, offering such activities as book discussion groups, movie discussion
groups, and arts and craft programs for parents with small children.
