Should the Town of Atherton construct a new library in Holbrook-Palmer Park using funds dedicated for library purposes only, by replacing the Main House and some surrouding patios and walkways?

Summary:

Meaning of Voting Yes/No
A YES vote on this measure means:
A "yes" vote would permit the City Council to direct that the Main House be demolished and a new library be constructed on that site, including the area where some surrounding improvements (sidewalks, patios, and the like) currently exist. There would be no reduction in existing parkland or open space and the library could only be constructed at the Park at this specific location - in the area of the current Main House - and nowhere else in the Park.

A NO vote on this measure means:
A "no" vote on this measure will not prohibit construction of a new library in other locations and will not impact the ability to use the dedicated special tax funds for library uses for this purpose.
