Diamond Bar Library Survey Results
The Diamond Bar City Council will discuss the library survey results at the study session on Tuesday, March 7, 2006. The public is encouraged to attend.
The results are as follows:
1. They gave info about the existing library, how old, no parking, do you use it?
Often.............13%
Sometimes....24%
Rarely...........39%
Never............23%
Don't know....1%
2. The city is considering constructing a new state of the art library, next to D.B. Center. It would be 3 times larger, internet access, a Global Citizen Center to teach children about cultures around the world (this is in partnership with the 2 school districts) and a Homework Center. Do you favor or oppose building this new Diamond Bar Library?
Favor.....................75%
Oppose.................15%
Need more info.........9%
Don't know...............2%
3. The library can only be built with financial assistance from the community. The city council will contribute $3 million, and the rest of the money will come from the residents. The city is considering placing a measure on a upcoming ballot that would ask property owners to pay $42 per parcel per year for 30 years to pay for the construction. The city is also asking for an additional $11 a year to pay for half of the increased operating costs, with the city paying for the rest. This $11 assessment would be raised each year by the Consumer Price Index (CPI) to keep up with inflation. Would you vote yes or no?
Yes....................46%
No......................34%
Need more info....17%
Don't know..........4%
Voila! There you have it. The participants in the survey jumps and down on the library concept, then it sinks in how much it would cost. No way that the conservative city of Diamond Bar voters are going to approve this, which requires 67%.
Furthermore, Global Citizen Center...Interesting concept, coming out of the pages of Communist platform or George Orwell's book "1984"....Scary, eh?
Rest assured this PARCEL TAX proposal will seek its rightful place....in the grave where the tombstone marked "R.I.P. - - Thanks to Wise Citizens"
