Yvonne Chen, Redwood City Library Director <br />FROM: Nancy Lewiq:ßounty Library Director <br /> <br />Re: <br /> <br />Fair Oaks Library Agreement <br /> <br />The San Mateo County Library Governing Board approved the agreement with the City <br />of Redwood City for partial funding of the Fair Oaks Library at its June 19,2000 <br />meeting. <br /> <br />The Governing Board approved the agreement on the condition that it be limited to two <br />years, and the enclosed agreement has been revised to reflect this change. The Board is <br />concerned about making a longer commitment because the County Library's fiscal <br />projections indicate the Library will have a deficit by FY 2002-03. <br /> <br />The County Library's Governing Board has been working diligently to bring back more <br />than $2M in property taxes the Library sends to Sacramento every year. Until this long- <br />term funding issue is addressed either locally or at the state level, the Governing Board <br />believes it must be conservative about making fiscal commitments. <br /> <br />San Matco County Librarv operates under a Joint Powers Authority and serves the communities of Atherton, Belmont, Brisbane, East Palo Alto, <br />Fnqt'r Cit\" J:¡]f Moon B:¡\ '1illhral:' Pacifica.
