What the staff report doesn't tell you is that staff wants to build a new library as part of the police satellite facility on Willow. You know--- the one that never really gets built.

It looks like the developer has abandoned the project. Rather than cut the loss on this continued folly which reflects the business naivete of every council member and Rojas, staff wants to put forward a plan that will cost more money for the city to buy out the developer (if they can find him.)



Ofcourse, building a physcial edice will require more additional staff.

Now we are going to cut main library hours?
Our "main library" already closes at 6 pm, people.
And are roads are like third world roads.
And there still are no new playing fields, twelve years and counting.
Yet property tax revenues (our main income source) have gone up much faster than inflation right up until last year. Where is the budget money going?
Oh wait, I remember, we will have to keep paying our city staff until God takes them, and it turns out that's CalPERS wants us to pay for promising that.
