The link below will take you to transcriptions from the August 24, 2010 Santa Clarita City Council meeting. At this meeting the library takeover resolution was passed by City Council, with the one exception of Councilmember Bob Kellar, to hand management of our local libraries over to a private and for- profit corporation, LSSI. No opinions or comment have been inserted. They said what they said, and it is here for you to read.
Section One includes the arguments for the takeover presented by Darren Hernandez, Deputy City Manager, presentations by LSSI representatives, and a few local proponents. Section Two has only the remarks by Margaret Donnellan Todd, County Librarian for the County of Los Angeles. Section Three includes Council discussion and voting on the resolution, and a brief final comment by Cam Notlemeyer. The remarks by the almost 50 opposing speakers were to lengthy to include.
Our purpose in publishing these transcripts is simply to reveal what was actually said by the proponents and our Council, City staff, and LSSI.
