Debra Mason
Vice Chair
Brett Howard Dear Board Members:
Secretary
Glen Williams The Bay Point Municipal Advisory Council is very concerned about some recent
Treasurerproposals made by the Board of Supervisors Finance Committee for permanently
Jeanette Manning funding the Contra Costa County Library system.
Karen Klaczynski One of these proposals suggests taxing the unincorporated areas only,while
Margaret Wildes another suggests a countywide utility user tax. Both of these are unacceptable.
Since the Bay Point community does not have a library branch of its own, it
would be very inequitable to place additional tax burdens upon our residents to
support library service in other communities, while not providing service to our own.
Bay Point tax revenue has been used and is still currently used to provide library
service elsewhere in Contra Costa County. Until a full service library can be provided
in Bay Point, this council will have great difficulty in supporting, much less advocating
any proposal which places additional taxes upon our community.
Library services are an important issue in the Bay Point community, and we
would welcome the opportunity to provide feedback to any upcoming funding
proposals.
