Measure V Committee Meeting - Jan 4 at 4pm

The Measure V Committee will meet on January 4th, at 4:00 pm in the Rotunda at City Hall. Scheduled to be discussed at this meeting is the topic "Budget reduction recommendations FY 2010-11". All library supporters should plan to attend this meeting. In FY08-09, the library received 43% of the Measure V funds, but in FY09-10 the libraries only received 38% of the Measure V funds. Additionally, because of furlough days for city employees, our libraries had to reduce their operating hours this past fiscal year. Remember, the only City funds received by the library come from Measure V income. The citizens of Salinas voted to keep our libraries open.

Please come to the meeting to show your support! If you cannot attend, we urge you to contact your Measure V Committee representative and your City Councilmember to let them know how important it is to avoid any additional reduction of library services. Thank you!
