Measure Q Objectives

Measure Q specifies that tax proceeds may be used only for twelve objectives, most of which provide for the continuation, enhancement or expansion of library and/or educational services. The objectives, as specified in Section 2 of Measure Q under the heading "Use of Proceeds" are as follows: 1. to keep neighborhood libraries open a minimum of six days per week and increase weekend hours; 2. to retain availability of library services at the Main Library 7 days per week; 3. to enhance and expand library collections, including the acquisition of new books and materials; 4. to continue to provide educational and cultural programs for youth in every library, including after school tutoring and literacy and children's programs; 5. to expand library-based programs in support of literacy, learning and information technology; 6. to operate an African-American museum and library program; 7. to increase joint educational activities with local schools including librarian services: 8. to retain children's librarians in every library facility 9. to operate the new joint school-public library in East Oakland:

• 10. to upgrade and enhance information technology in all libraries and improve access to computers

and technology in the libraries:

• 11. to support after-school homework programs; and
• 12. to support teen programs.

Measure Q Constraints

Legal Opinions that affect Measure Q:

On June 8, 1999, the City Attorney's Office issued an opinion stating that Measure O revenue use was limited operations and maintenance (including staff) of Libraries: [T]he purpose of the Library Tax is retention of library services. The reconstruction

• f the Main Library would be capital improvement. The Library Tax funds may be

fairly characterized as an operations and maintenance fund, as opposed to a capital expense fund. Consequently, the Library Services Fund is an inappropriate source

• f funds for the capital expenditures. (p1, emphasis added.)

On August 19, 2008, the City Attorney's Office issued a further opinion stating that although Measure Q revenue could be used for in-direct services required to provide library services, such as janitorial, and/or building rent: [T]he actual cost of the services performed in all City libraries sets the maximum amount that can be paid for those services with Measure Q funds.
