Templeton Library funding dispute
Summary
Templeton residents packed the room demanding a share of the library property taxes they pay, saying the county has shortchanged them since closing their library in 1979. The board accepted the ad hoc report, kept coordination efforts going, and floated a countywide library bond and a 2027 library summit — but no funding shift.
