January 22, 1990 Mr. Kevin Northcraft City Manager City of Hermosa Beach 1315 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, California 90254 Dear Mr. Northcraft: Thank you very much for what has been accomplished in dealing with the problems which have arisen in the use of the Library/City Hall parking area. At one time the Librarian had received twenty complaints from patrons who had driven away when they were unable to find any place to park. The designation of two-hour parking spaces and of parking spaces for city employees has been helpful. However, there is still a problem for the library staff, for whom there have been no parking spaces allocated. It is simply not feasible for them to have to move their cars every two hours. Furthermore, the library is often open until 9:00 PM. Staff members, particularly women employees, should have safe parking --which would mean parking adjacent to the library. Six spaces are needed. We all appreciate the concern which you have shown for the library and for our organization, the Hermosa Beach Friends of the Library. Thank you once again, Mr. Northcraft. Very truly yours, Bertha S. Dorsey Corresponding Secretary cc: Charlotte Malone

are needed.
