"The Upland Library Board of Trustees recommended to the city and the Finance and Economic Development Committee to not privatize the library and "provide written rational" to the finance committee and the city council.
The Thursday meeting, which took place in
the Upland library's multi-purpose room, came after city manager Stephen Dunn
recommended the council allow him to negotiate a contract with a Maryland-based
private firm to manage the library.
Board member Renuka Balakrishnan said in
Dunn's report, where the city manager recommends the council allow him to
negotiate a contract with Library Systems and Services Inc., there was "no
guarantee of success by outsourcing to LSSI."
"Sharon McKinley, 70, of Upland said she
didn't trust LSSI's for profit motives.
"The library may be less publicly
accountable," McKinley said because it's a private company."
