Background:
On July 2, 1993 the Board adopted Resolution 225-93 establishing a library benefit assessment for the operation of the Cameron Park Branch Library.  An advisory vote in June 1994 received a 53% majority in favor of continuing the assessment.  The assessment is necessary to fund most of the operating costs of the Cameron Park Library (staff, books, utilities).  
 
Reason for Recommendation:
Benefit Assessment law requires an annual public hearing to receive comment regarding the continuation of the assessment.  The amount  of the assessment is $25 per dwelling unit, with exceptions for apartments which are assessed at $20 and mobile homes in parks which are assessed at $12.50.  The assessment has remained unchanged since 1993.  
 
Action to be taken following Board approval:
Auditor-Controller to place assesssment on 2009/2010 property tax bills
