County Administrator Costa
DATE'. May 27, 1986 Coirty
SUBJECT: Legislation: Senate Bill 2493 (Keene)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position of support for SB 2493 by Senator Keene.
BACKGROUND:
Current law does not provide for the issuance of State
general obligation bonds to provide funds for grants to any
city, county, city and county, or district that maintains
any public library for the acquisition, construction,
remodeling, or rehabilitation of facilities for public
library services.
Earlier in this session Senator Keene introduced SB 1220
which would have authorized $150 million in State general
obligation bonds for these purposes. SB 1220 failed to
qualify for the June, 1986 ballot.
Senator Keene has now introduced SB 2493 which would provide
$200 million for public library facilities, $50 million of
which would be dedicated to the reconstruction and
renovation of the Los Angeles Central Library. which was
recently severely damaged by fire. The remaining $150
million would be available for all other jurisdictions in
the State which provide public library services.
As has recently been reported to the Board, this County has
a pressing need to add, replace, and . expand library
facilities in a number of areas of the County. If passed by
the Legislature, SB 2493 would appear on the November, 1986
ballot for consideration by the voters.
. In view of the need for library facilities in this County,
the County Librarian recommends that the Board support SB
2493 and this office concurs in that recommendation.
