SHARING THE CITY OF STOCKTON’S PROGRESS
When voters approved Strong Communities (Measure M) in November 2016 by a margin of 76%, they sent a strong message that Library and Recreation services in the City of Stockton should be a priority for our youth and families. This, the fiscal year (FY) 2020-21 annual r eport, shares the progress t oward achieving those priorities and the plans for the future. Increasing open hours, expanding access, and planning new and renovated facilities are just a few of the positiv e changes that have been undertaken since the Strong Communities Initiative passed. Within this report you will find detailed information about those key initiatives along with a transparent accounting of how revenues have been spent and how staff is planning expenditures over the 16-year lifespan of the Initiative. With the direction of the City Council and input from the Str ong Communities Advisory Board, staff commits to prov iding services, facilities and programs that will enhance the quality of life for Stockton residents.
“Building resilient communities by cultivating
healthy bodies and curious minds.”
