Village Liasion's Report given by Holly Steinke (see attached agenda dated 10/21/02). Dick Judge, a representative for the Montgomery County Libraries made an appeal for voters to get out and vote favorably in the November 5th Library Bond Issue. He spoke of The Woodlands Library expansion and a phased program to increase the number of libraries in Montgomery County by 5 over the next 10 years. He said the Summer Reading Program was unable to meet the needs of the county and some had to be turned away due to the lack of space. Mr Judge held a Q and A session for the residents. Q: Ross Brigger, How long will it take to pay for the Libraries and improvements? A: Dick Judge, With the present number of residents, approximately 20 years. Of course, as the area grows this could decrease. Of the total $10 Million Initial Bond Program taxpayers will incur about $10.00 for every $100,000.00 assessed home value. Long range 3 new libraries will cost about $14-15 Million. Of course all paid by taxpayers. Kay McIver gave a brief Population Report for College Park (Harper's Landing).
