Dear Charlotte and Naoma:
I have been informed by the County Librarian that the property tax for Hermosa Beach has generated more funds than used to operate the library. This surplus will most likely grow in future years. The current amount is $3,071 and they have asked to use it to purchase books. This is for 2003-04 fiscal year. I would be interested in the opinion of the Friends of the Library regarding this proposed use of these funds.
I would appreciate it if you could let me know so I can prepare a report to the City Council.
Sincerely,
Stephen R. Burrell
City Manager
