MOORPARK CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA REPORT
The Honorable City Council
Mary Lindley, Parks, Recreation & Community Services Director
September 11, 2006 (Meeting of September 20, 2006)
r i
SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of an Ordinance Establishing the Moorpark City
Library
DISCUSSION
On August 16, 2006, the Council adopted Resolution 2508, stating its intent to adopt an
Ordinance on September 20, 2006, establishing the Moorpark City Library as set forth in
the California Education Code §18900, including provisions for regulation and
maintenance of a public library system. Consistent with the adopted Resolution, the City
Council is being asked to consider the adoption of the attached Ordinance, establishing
the Moorpark City Library, effective January 1, 2007.
The Ordinance adoption is important for participation in a Cooperative Library Service
and to receive future state (PLF) and federal library funds. Library cooperatives facilitate
book loans between library systems and provide other services to their member
agencies. The City is seeking membership to the Metropolitan Cooperative Library
Services (MCLS) and City staff will be attending the MCLS Board meeting on
September 28.
Education Code Section 18900 et. seq., requires that a public library establish a library
board. Based on the Council's previous discussion, the City Council will serve as the
Library Board and at a future meeting, the Council will consider the establishment of the
library commission or committee to serve in an advisory capacity.
The City Attorney has reviewed the attached draft ordinance.
