BACKGROUND
Consistent with California Education Code section 18910, on January 25, 2011; the City Council
adopted Ordinance No. 11-2, establishing the Santa Clarita Public Library. Section 2.70.020
provides that the Santa Clarita Public Library shall be managed by a Board of Library Trustees
consisting of five members who are appointed by the City Council. Each trustee shall hold office
for three years, except the terms of the members of the first Board of Library Trustees shall
expire as provided for in Education Code Section 18911 in order to stagger the expiration of
terms. In addition, State Law requires the Board of Library Trustees to meet at least once a
month.
Since the City Council's decision to create the Santa Clarita Public Library, the City Council has
already taken several actions to implement the transition from the County to the Santa Clarita
Public Library. The City Council has expressed a desire to manage the Santa Clarita Public
Library to ensure a continued effective implementation of the planned service enhancements.
