7. D. Finance Investments Ad Hoc committee update RE Loan to Foundation (Jones/Borba)
Chair McBride asked the City attorney about the money the Board loaned the Foundation and the
City attorney said that money is not subject to the restrictions of using public money for investments.
Treasurer Jones and Trustee Borba met in January to discuss the investments. They plan to start
meeting with different investment companies. They would like to select firms in February to do
presentations in March then narrow it down to two or three firms to do presentations at the April
meeting and decide in May. Trustee Borba said the Mizell Center has their money invested with
the Community Foundation; on their September report they were receiving over 5% on their
investments. The RAP Foundation invests with Wells Fargo and as of December was at 3.2%.
Doing investments through the Foundation will be a big help to the endowment and allow the Board
to give more money to the Library. Trustee Borba shared the RAP Foundation investment policy

with Director Kays and she will send it out to the rest of the Board. Treasure Jones suggested
asking for presentations from the Community Foundation, Wells Fargo, and Chandler Investments.
Chair McBride suggested drawing up an agreement with the Foundation to be very specific about
the Board wants to be involved in the oversight. Director Kays needs to confirm that inviting outside
firms to come to the Board meeting is allowed. Trustee Garner said that if it is not allowed then
maybe Trustee Borba and Treasurer Jones could meet with the firms and then give a report to the
Board.

Measure J Funds Approved for The
Library Pre-COVID
The Library Board of Trustees paid for a community-
involved meeting at the PS Convention Center to update
and create a new Library Strategic Plan in January 2019.
The Community supported a new Main Library and asked
that City do something in the meantime to improve the
facility.
City Council appointed a citizen committee in August 2019
that met through October to determine location of the
Main Library. Overwhelming Community support to keep
the Library in Sunrise Park. Five sites were considered.
$623,000 of Measure J Funds were allocated for The Library
and approved by City Council. Contracts were to be signed
the day the City shut down. The projects that were funded:
I. Main Library Program Planning Consultant Contract with
Library Strategies=$100,000
II. Jaycee/Frey Building Remodel=$523,000 Library Board of Trustees, March 2, 2022, pg. 18
Measure J Funds Requested to Fund The
Library Priorities
What happened to the $623,000? Is it gone or can
we revisit the plans and get this funding restored?

Year One: 2021-22
Nothing budgeted for The Library
The Library, Board of Trustees, Friends of the
Library and Library Foundation applied for
Measure J Community Grant funds so we can
show the community we are working on
improvements to the Library and each group
is willing to raise money to fully fund this
project. We need Measure J to be a partner!
