ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR LIBRARY TAX
WHEREAS, the City of Ukiah City Council believes that libraries are an
essential factor in the quality of life in our Community; and
WHEREAS, libraries provide a resource to the community for children,
adults and seniors alike; and
WHEREAS, libraries and the information that they contain foster,
encourage and enhance cultural, educational and economic development within
our community; and
WHEREAS, Mendocino County is responsible for and supports the library
system through the County General Fund, which is currently in a deficit
condition, and therefore, the County has drastically lowered the financial
support to the library system which has reduced staffing, hours of
operation, and essential programs; and
WHEREAS, the loss of these services is having a detrimental effect on
our Community; and
WHEREAS, a ballot measure is being proposed which would establish a
County Library District and public library special tax within the
incorporated and unincorporated areas of the County; and
WHEREAS, the special tax would be a maximum of $24.00 per property
owner in Fiscal Year 1992, increasing to a maximum of $30.00 per owner in
Fiscal Year 1998.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the City Council of the
City of Ukiah publically supports the Mendocino County Library District and
