Dear Mr. Harris:
Subject: Hermosa Beach Library
I have received word from Robert B. Heuer, Director of the Department of Real Estate Management, that the Hermosa Beach Library lease option, permitting the County to buy, is now in effect. I have indicated to Mr. Heuer that we are desirous of exercising the option, but wish to contact you regarding the wishes of the city.
If you wish, we can exercise the option, to take effect this fiscal year, 1963-64, with payment to be rendered, possibly, by April 1. If it is not the wish of the City Council that the option be exercised at the present time, I stand ready to meet with you and the City Council to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement regarding this changeover.
Please be assured that the option is not mandatory on the part of the County Library.
Very truly yours,
COUNTY LIBRARIAN
