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. The Fiscal Year 2021-22 annual report celebrates the return to in- person programming after COVID -19 and describes how these funds are deployed to benefit our community. Increasing open hours, expanding access, and planning new and renovated facilities and pools are just a few of the positive 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 staff’s goals for the next fiscal year. With the direction of the City Council and input from the Strong Communities Advisory Board, staff commits to providing services, facilities and programs that will enhance the quality of life for Stockton residents over the 16-year life of the measure. “Buildingresilient communitiesby cultivating
healthy bodies and curious minds.”
