City Council Sends Bond Measure for Central Library Earthquake Retrofit to the Ballot
The City Council voted 6-2 on Monday adopted a resolution of necessity to issue bonds for the Central Library.
The vote clears the way for a $195 million bond to appear on the ballot in the November election.
The money will be used to fund a comprehensive earthquake retrofit, repair, and update of the Central Library, including enhanced seismic resilience and modernization of facilities. The Central Library is a vital community resource.
“This is not something we can be ambiguous about,” said Vice Mayor Steve Madison. “Great cities have great libraries.”
