THE HONORABLE JAMES PINRERTON, Mayor

Lodi, CA 95240
Dear Mayor Pinkerton:
I am writing to ask for the City Council's support of
Proposition 85, the Library Construction and Renovation Bond Act.
If approved by the voters on November 8, Prop 85 would provide
$75 million statewide for the construction and remodeling of
public libraries.
This is a bond issue; it would not raise taxes.
Our county's population is increasing rapidly, and existing
public libraries are no longer adequate to meet the needs of our
many residents. Prop 85 could make it possible to build new
libraries in areas where they are desperately needed throughout
San Joaquin County. Prop 85 could make it possible to expand
existing public library buildings to serve more people and to
increase services such as children's programs and the library's
literacy project.
I hope that the City of Lodi will join the County Board of
Supervisors and other cities in San Joaquin County in support of
Proposition 85, and that you will urge your citizens to vote yes
on this measure. I enclose a fact sheet for your information, as
well as a summary from a recently -completed study that recommends
new and enlarged branches in specific areas of the ecunty. I am
also enclosing copies of resolutions supporting Proposition 85,
and a copy of the bill passed by the legislature. Please contact
Diane Freggiaro, Community Relations Librarian, at 944-8504 if
you have additional questions.
Thank you for your time and for your consideration.
Sincerely,

WEAT IS PROPOSITION 85?
Proposition 85 is a $75 million
library construction and renovation.
'WHAT DOES PROPOSITIONS 85 DO?
state bond issue for
Authorizes grants to any city, county, city -county, or
district which is empowered to c, --n or maintain a local
public library.
Grants could be used to address the following needs:
- site acquisition.
- new building construction.
- remodel existing buildings to increase energy
efficiency.
- renovate existing buildings to meet healr.h and
safety codes.
- renovate or remodel existing buildings for
handicapped access.
* The minimLLm grant application would be $35,000 per project,
* The grant applicant (local community) would be required to
provide at least 35% of the project cost. Thus, there would be a
state and local partnership in funding each of the approved
projects.
* Grants could not: be used for administrative costs, ongoing
operational costs, books, materials, or repayments of local loans.
* Will NOT raise taxes.
Tr EY IS PROPOSITION V NECESSARY?
California is irk the midst of extraordinary population and
economic growth. This year alone California's population grew by..
600,000 people! Like many important community services, libraries
have been unable to keep pace with this rapid growth. As a result,
there are California neighborhoods and communities that simply do
not have a local library.
Other communities rely on old library structures --some built
as far back as 1852, with many built prior to 1930. These older
facilities need to be expanded, made more accessible to the
handicapped, strengthened for earthquake safety, or remodeled to be
more efficient. A recent survey conducted by the State Librarian
found that 110 of California's 169 public library systems identified
a need for construction or renovation funding.

2 19951. The Legislature finds and declares all of the
3 following:
4 (a) The public library is a supplement to the formal
5 system of free public education, a source of information
6 and inspiiation to persons of all aces, cultural
7 backgrounds, and economic statuses, and a resource for
8 continuing education and reeducation beyond the years
9 of formal education, and therefore deserves adequate
10 financial support from government at all levels.
11 (b) It is in the interest of rhe people and of the state
12 that there be a general diffusion of information and
13 knowledge through the continued operation of free
14 public libraries. This diffusion is a matter of general
15 concern inasmuch as it is the duty of the state to provide
16 encouragement to the voluntary lifelong learning of the
17 people of the state.
18 (c) Many existing public Iibrary facilities are not safe,
19 efficier.t, or accessible for use, adequate for the size of the
-20 communities they serve, or otherwise capable of
21 providing the pubiic Iibrary services needed by the
22 communities they serve.
23 (d) Many communities that are populous enough to
C24
require a public library facility do not have one.
25
(e) Local public library authorities do not have
26
sufficient funds to construct or rehabilitate necessary
27
public library facilities.
28
(f) Funding to meet the need for public library
29
facilities, which is beyond the ability of local government
30
to supply, is most appropriately met by a partnership of
31
state and focal governments.

11. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
A. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
I. Full service libraries should be constructed everywhere there is or
wilt be a population base of at least 5,000, in order to provide
quality service on an equitable basis to as many residents as
possible.
2. Very large ouiIdings should be planned and constructed in at least
two stages. in order to minimize operating costs and to provide the
alternative of constructing separate buildings later if -growth
patterns diverge from projections.
3. All sites should be of sufficient size to permit future expansion of
buildings and parking beyond the specific recommendations of this
Report, in order to provide a defense against growth far greater
than projected.
B. SPECIFIC RECOMMENOATIONS
4. A Northwest Stockton Branch of 24,000 sq. ft. should be constructed
in the very near future, to be followed at a later date by an
addition or a second building of 11-12,000 sq. ft.
` 5. A South Stockton Branch of 19,000 sq. ft. should be constructed in
3 the very near future, after which the Southeast Branch should be
closed.
6. A Northeast Stockton Branch of 24,000 sq. ft. should be constructed
fn the near future, to be followed at a later date by an addition or
L- a second building of 11-12.000 sq. ft.
7. The existing Manteca Branch should be replaced in the near future by
a new building, consisting initially of 25,000 sq. ft. and planned
for expansion to 50,000 sq. ft.
8. Planning should begin within three years for a second branch in the
Tracy area, consisting of at least 10, 000 sq. ft.
' - 9. The existing Ripon Branch should be replaced within a few years by a
new building, consisting .of approximately 12.000 sq. ft.

Years, consisting of 7-8,500 sq. ft. and planned for expansion to

.r
13. Joint planning should take place with the Lodi Public Library on a
new branch or branches to accommodate growth in the surrounding
area.
14. The organization of the Stockton -San Joaquin County Library should
be modified to some degree in order to provide stronger management }'
i'
and support to the growing branch system. l
i
15- Service to institutionalized and home -bound persons should be
expanded by a larger volunteer program, directed and coordinated by
appropr-iate paid staff. is
I6_ The Library should -continue to expand its computerized databases. !
and make them even more available by telecommunication to other
agencies, and eventually directly to indiviauais.
