439 Councilman Petersen moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO . 6081 OF INTENTION RELATING TO PARTICIPATION IN A COOPERATIVE LIBRARY SYSTEM, seconded by Councilman Henderson . A detailed report for the proposed cooperative library system was provided to the Council . City Librarian Karl Vollmayer briefly outlined the proposal , noting that a similar plan of service had been submitted last year , but had not been approved by the State Public Library Board . However , this year with participation by two additional libraries , one of which was the County Library , he is hopeful that the plan would be approved at the State level . Among the advantages under this plan , borrowers can return books at any location and this should result in increased use of the libraries . This might result in increased expenditures , but this will not be known until the plan has been in operation . State contribution would amount to $70 , 000 , There is presently a contract with the County Library which it is hoped will be continued , whether the proposed cooperative plan is accepted or not . Expenditures both by City and by the County have been about equal under the existing contract , approximating $20 , 000 , for services extended to them by the City and those offered to the City by the County . In the event the State fails to approve this plan , City will have to work out a reciprocal arrangement with the County . In response to Council question , City Librarian advised that fees of County residents using the City library facilities are paid for by the County at present . With regard to foreign language books , he informed Council that in recent years many books have been added to the libraries in the Spanish language . Motion carried on roll call vote . A suggestion was made by Council to request the Library Board to consider extending the library hours to 10 : 00 P . M . , from the present 9 : 00 P . M . closing time , as well as opening on Sunday afternoons , to accomodate students . It was also suggested that the Schaberg Branch be open on the same schedule as the main Library . City Manager was requested to have the City Librarian report on this matter . ( Memo 8/26/69 ) Councilman Keckley moved to introduce Ordinance appropriating $21 , 225 . 00 from un - budgeted balance of the Sewer Fund , and appropriating $25 , 271 . 00 from the unbudgeted unappropriated balance of the Water Fund to provide for payment of principal and interest on General Improvement District No . 1 -64 , 1964 Facilities Bonds , seconded by Councilman Rosselli , The funds represent water and sewer connection fees received in 1969 by the City for new services in GID 1 -64 .
