This measure authorizes the City of Pasadena to issue $195 million in bonds to earthquake retrofit, repair, and modernize the 97-year-old Pasadena Central Library, including addressing safety hazards, updating technology, and restoring services. The bonds would be repaid through a property tax levy of $28.90 per $100,000 of assessed valuation, generating approximately $12 million annually while the bonds remain outstanding.
