Measure Q accountability and citizen oversight
The city council placed Measure Q on the November ballot — an extra 1% (one penny per dollar) sales tax for the city's general fund. The library currently gets about 3% of the city budget and could see more if it passes. Info sessions are set for September 26 and October 15 at the library.
