Pomona council votes to place library tax measure on November ballot. (Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, 8/7/2012)
Excerpt: City Council members voted unanimously late Monday night to place a library parcel tax measure on the Nov. 6 ballot.
Council members voted 6-0 for the parcel tax measure, which will require the approval of two-thirds of those who vote.
Councilman Steve Atchley left before the council addressed the matter.
At the same meeting, the council voted to move ahead with a plan to close a fire station and to outsource the city's park maintenance.
Should the library tax measure pass, it would generate about $1.5 million for the library's operations and services.
Owners of single family home parcels would pay about $38 a year. City leaders decided Monday to leave out a sunset clause, thereby making the parcel tax measure a permanent tax if approved. They also opted to include language committing the city to provide 38 hours of service, five days a week.
