Rosalie Wahl Library - Resolution
Mayor Johnston asked that this item be added to the Council agenda in order to allow the
City Council to act upon concern regarding Washington County Library operation of the
Rosalie E. Wahl Branch Library in Lake Elmo.
The City staff has met with Washington County and Washington County Library officials
in February and April, 2010 to review the decision of rejecting consideration of shifting
library hours at the library from Monday to Saturday. The Washington County Library
Board has given strong indication through its Administration that the library is likely to
suffer additional service cutbacks and/or closure due to current budgetary and service
consideration.
Council Member Smith noted that the City of Lake Elmo’s preference is to not sever its
relationship with the Washington County Library System, nor to box them in a corner.
However, the City of Lake Elmo wants to reasonably address ways to retain library
services as it pursues its vision for both the current and future downtown.
MOTION: Mayor Johnston moved to adopt Resolution No. 2010-030, A resolution
calling for preservation and enhancement of library services within the city and
community of Lake Elmo. Council Member DeLapp seconded the motion. The motion
passed 4-0.
