Purpose and Objectives
The Library Advisory Committee (LAC) was formed by Resolution No. 02-2016 adopted by the City Council on January 11, 2015 to serve in an advisory capacity to City staff on the New Pacifica Library project and began meeting in July 2016. Library Advisory Committee activity was paused in early 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Library Advisory Committee was disbanded and restructured under a new membership format by Resolution No. 67-2023 adopted by the City Council on June 26, 2023. The purpose and objectives of the Library Advisory Committee are to:
- Increase project transparency by holding meetings open to the community and in compliance with Brown Act requirements;
- Assist City staff by providing feedback on various elements of the project such as project priorities, direction, and selection of professional consultants as needed;
- Facilitate communication between the City and community in various ways including engaging in public outreach to solicit feedback and opinions on the Library Project.

The Library Advisory Committee membership shall be comprised of 7 to 9 at-large community members from a broad cross-section of the community and 3 to 5 non-voting ex-officio members to be determined by City Council. Members shall be appointed by City Council.
