The Altadena Library District Board of Trustees recently formed a Community Facilities District (CFD) standing committee that will oversee the assessment and funding for both capital improvement projects and library operations as approved by over a 2/3 majority vote in the November 2020 election.
If you are interested in joining the committee, please submit a statement of interest and your resume; in your statement, please let us know why you want to join and what relevant experience you’ll bring. The Community Facilities District Committee will meet virtually once a month on the second Wednesday of the month at 3:00pm, via Zoom while COVID-19 social distancing continues to be required, and all meetings will be open to the public (via live stream on YouTube for the time being).

Please submit your statement of interest and resume via email to District Director Nikki Winslow at nwinslow@altadenalibrary.org by no later than 5:00pm on Friday, January 29. Prospective members will be considered and nominated for recommendation of membership at the February 10 CFD Committee meeting at 3:00pm and then taken to the full Board of Trustees on February 22 for final review and approval. Applicants are strongly recommended to attend the February 10 meeting. Thank you!
Even if you don’t feel you can join the committee as a full member, we still hope you will watch the meetings and provide public comment to make your voice heard!
