> CONTINUED DISCUSSION ON NEW LIBRARY BOND MEASURE
Council discussed the amount -- $12.5 — 13 million -- that would be cited
within the ballot measure for general obligation bonds. This amount of funding
would provided sufficient means to carry out plans for the proposed new
library in the "mid-range." The amount proposed for the ballot measure
would not be the full cost for the library building, improvements, site
development and acquisition. Already "in hand" is $1 million from bequests.
In addition there are funds available in a general fund public facilities account.
Council will be asked to give direction next week on the general fund dollars
that have been set aside.
There was brief discussion on elements of the proposed ballot measure,
including the funding amount that would be requested. It is anticipated the
ballot title will be for a "not-to-exceed $13 million" amount for a 20-year
term.
Study Session adjourned at 7:35 p.m.
