Library Strategic Plan and Facilities Master Plan Approval
Council approved the three-year Library Strategic Plan and twenty-year Library Facilities Master Plan. The facilities plan includes property condition assessments, recommendations for renovations at Central Park Library, Mission Branch, and Northside Branch, and potential future Northwest library site. Measure I funding of approximately $9 million will support initial renovations. Total estimated cost for all recommendations is approximately $55 million including $20.25 million projected for a potential Northwest facility.
- Recommendations are not prescriptive; staff will work with city manager's office and finance to prioritize. Any changes to Mission Library affecting historical character will go to Historical Landmarks Commission before council.
