Committee seeks details on District 5 rec center funding and considers extending library hours
Summary
Committee members asked staff how Measure E and Measure G funds are split for the District 5 recreation center, learned a feasibility study cost about $50,000, and discussed a library-hours survey that is still open.
Committee members pressed staff for clarity about funding for the District 5 recreation center and whether Measure E would support new buildings as the city grows. A staff member told the committee the project is funded through both Measure E and Measure G and that Measure E has allocated $6,900,000 toward the project; the remainder is expected to come from Measure G.
On library operations, staff said a survey on extending library hours is still open and that the District 5 feasibility study cost "close to about $50,000," noting the feasibility work appeared to be funded from both measures. Committee members expressed a desire to see at least one branch remain open later for families and volunteered to help promote the survey via flyers, web links and tabling opportunities.
Members also asked for a clearer accounting of how much Measure E and Measure G each contribute to District 5 expenditures so the committee can track transparency of both measures' investments. Staff said the capital improvement program expenditure report in the staff packet (page 4) shows Measure E’s $6,900,000 allocation and that the packet contains a CIP list with more detail. Staff asked committee members to share outreach contacts to help promote the library survey and said they would provide links and materials for promotion.
