John C Schmitz
On behalf of the Friends of the La Mesa Library, I wish to thank the City Council for appointing the Library Task Force to formally examine how our library is suited to the needs of our community. The Task Force soon realized that there were no easy and quick solutions to providing an adequate level of space to provide library service to La Mesa. Hence the Task Force recommendation before you. Hopefully, the Council will direct staff to move forward with the kind of design and feasibility study that was done for MacArthur Park, including public workshops to provide community input.
As a follow up to said study, I would also strongly recommend that a General Plan Amendment be initiated to the Public Services & Facilities Element. The current General Plan ignores the inadequate situation regarding the La Mesa Library. It merely acknowledges that we have a library with services provided by the County of San Diego. Once the library study is completed, there should be adequate justification to amend the document to incorporate a new vision for our library going forward.
