FROM: SUPERVISOR GAYLE BISHOP, DISTRICT III - �►`,' Costa
County
DATE: February 2, 1995
SUBJECT: REQUEST THAT THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS CONSIDER APPROVAL .OF THE
LIBRARY MASTER PLAN AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE DATE
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATIONS)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
REQUEST that the Board of Supervisors consider approval of the Library Master
Plan at its meeting on February 14, 1995.
BACKGROUND:
The Internal Operations Committee presently has on referral the Library Master Plan
as well as several related issues regarding the County Library and the Library
Commission. Action on the Library Master Plan was deferred last year because of
concern about a number of the features in the Master Plan. Throughout 1994, issues
regarding the funding and governance of the County Library consumed much of the
time and energy of members of the Board of Supervisors, city representatives and
their staffs.
Many of these issues remain unresolved as a result of the failure of Measure B to win
sufficient approval from the voters in November, leaving questions about the future
funding and governance of the Library unanswered. The Board of Supervisors has
repeatedly voiced its support for the Library and its willingness to work closely with
the cities in determining a future course for the Library. The Library Master Plan
is a key component of the future direction for the Library. Its adoption is important
in order to help set the course for the future of library services in this County and
should receive prompt and close attention from the Board of Supervisors. As a
result, we hope that the Internal Operations Committee will consider reporting back
to the Board on the Library Master Plan on February 14, 1995.
