The Explorer has an in depth article on basically two points of view as it pertains to the OV library.
The Council will discuss the merits---or lack of merits of the Library Committee's recommendations at tonight's council meeting.
The issue is a little involved, but it comes down to whether it is best, economically and otherwise to turn the library over to Pima County, or maintain it ourselves. (All of the other 26 libraries are under the auspices of Pima County)
When all is said and done, we think we have the best solution.
There's no need to rush into a decision of this magnitude at this point in time. However, when one group of citizens (Friends of the Library) are convinced we keep control regardless of the cost ramifications, and other knowledgeable people say it makes no sense to be double, or potentially triple taxed to do so----why not do the following?
The Oro Valley Council should vote---at some point, to allow the citizens of Oro Valley the right to decide. We have two elections coming up---a primary for mayor & council seats in March 2010, and a General Election in May.
Do the democratic thing. Let the majority of the voters decide the future of the library.
