Hi all,
Thank you for all the help on previous petitions. All of these efforts have helped to get the council to consider a vote.
The
meeting is Wednesday, July 25 at 4 pm. It is important for all who can,
to go. The wording on the proposed library issue is not objective. The
proposal is: "Should the Town of Atherton construct a new library in
Holbrook-Palmer Park, using funds dedicated for the Library purposes
only, and not using any existing park open space for this purpose?"
It
would be more objective to ask,"Should the Town of Atherton construct a
new (county) library at Holbrook-Palmer Park?" The rest of the above
question should be in the argument for and maybe that is also true of
the word "county" which might be in argument against.
We
need people to show up and speak to this. If you can't go, please send
an email to the council members and ask them to read your email into the
record:
Bill Widmer bwidmer@pacbell.net
Elizabeth Lewis lizlew08@gmail.com
Jim Dobbie jdobbie@ci.atherton.ca.us
Jerry Carlson ralijer@ix.netcom.com
Kathy McKeithen kmckeithin@ci.atherton.ca.us
The
EIR certification is also on agenda. Any concerns over traffic,
parking, use of space, control of park all need to be put on the record
again for possible future litigation. So please go to the meeting and
put your issues on record or email council at the above emails.
There
will also be discussion on possible ballot wording for Little League
improvements and possibly something about a new Town Center next
Wednesday, July 25th. Wording was not included in information provided
for agenda.
Thank you all for keeping the pressure on for an objective ballot proposition.

Dear Didi et al.,
ReplyDeleteIs the status of our Atherton library changing? I thought our existing library was a county library. If we are not creating a new (additional) county library then the question really is whether the location of our library should be moved from its existing location to the park with the qualifiers listed below. Additional explanation and pro and con arguments will have to be made in the election information booklet. Hopefully, people will read the additional information to make an informed decision.
Thanks,
Linda Griffin
