Kevin Hawkins Director of Commuity Services ITEM NO. 2 CITY OF TEMECULA AGENDA REPORT TO: Temecula Community Services Commission FROM: Kevin Hawkins, Director of Community Services DATE: October 12, 2015 SUBJECT: Approve a Recommendation to the City Council Board of Directors to Rename the Temecula Public Library as the Ronald H. Roberts Temecula Public Library (at the request of Mayor Jeff Comerchero and Mayor Pro -Tem Mike Naggar) PREPARED BY: Betsy Lowrey, Senior Management Analyst RECOMMENDATION: That the Temecula Community Services Commission approve a recommendation to the City Council Board of Directors to rename the Temecula Public Library as the Ronald H. Roberts Temecula Public Library (at the request of Mayor Jeff Comerchero and Mayor Pro- Tern Mike Naggar) BACKGROUND: At the request of Mayor Jeff Comerchero and Mayor Pro -Tem Mike Naggar, it is proposed that the Temecula Public Library be renamed to be the Ronald H. Roberts Temecula Public Library. Pursuant to the City's Parks and Recreation Facilities Naming Policy, a recreation facility name may be changed if there is significant support and justification. In addition, a facility may be named for a person if the individual has made a significant financial contribution towards its development or has been an outstanding long -time community leader who has supported the recreational activities. Ron Roberts committed 25 years to the City of Temecula including three years appointed as a Commissioner and 22 years elected to the City Council, and is the only Council Member in the City's history to serve as Mayor five times. His leadership is a pivotal reason for Temecula's overall success with one of his most notable accomplishments being the completion of Temecula's state -of- the -art public library on Pauba Road. At the Temecula Public Library's Dedication Ceremony on December 14, 2006 to celebrate its opening, Ron Roberts was introduced to over 400 people in attendance with these words by the City Manager: "At this time, I'd like to introduce the strongest advocate for the Temecula Library Project. He also made several lobbying trips to Sacramento and San Diego to ensure that we would receive our $8.5 million State grant, and would not stop until we accomplished that objective. We are here today, in large part, because of his commitment and perseverance to see this Library Project through to its completion. Ladies and gentlemen, our Mayor for the City of Temecula, Mayor Ron Roberts." -Shawn Nelson, City Manager, 2006 It was Ron Roberts' instrumental leadership that guided the City's multi -year community -wide planning process to secure funds to build the 34,000 square foot high -tech library needed to accommodate Temecula's growing population. After several years of tireless efforts to secure State funding including two grant funding application attempts, countless letters to the State, public workshops, a library needs assessment, community surveys, and at least three trips to Sacramento to lobby on behalf of Temecula's need for a large library, the City was ultimately granted $8.5 million of $110 million worth of funding available statewide through the California Reading and Literacy Improvement and Public Library Construction and Renovation Act of California. Ron Roberts also led the City's collaboration with the County of Riverside, the Temecula Valley Unified School District, and the Friends of the Temecula Libraries, to provide matching funds of approximately $9.6 million. In a speech that Ron Roberts gave to the California Public Library Construction and Renovation Board in 2002, during one of his trips to Sacramento to secure state bond money for the library, he stated: "The Temecula Public Library will provide the greatest rate of return on the State's investment because of the number of lives it will touch." -Ron Roberts, Mayor, 2002 Ron was correct. The Temecula Public Library quickly became the most heavily used facility in the Riverside County Library System and is now serving approximately 418,000 patrons per year with an average annual circulation of over 650,000 items. Out of 35 libraries and two bookmobiles, the Temecula Public Library alone represents more than one -fourth of the total circulation for the entire Riverside County Library System. Prior to Ron Robert's retirement in December 2014, a Press Enterprise article was published on July 30, 2014 where Ron Roberts is quoted that the most stressful time during his 25 -year tenure at the City was fighting to secure bond money to build the Temecula Public Library. The article references Ron's trips to Sacramento to convince decision makers of the need for funding. "We did it," Ron Roberts said [in the article]. "But that really took a lot out of me." Staff will forward the Commission's recommendation to the City Council Board of Directors for final action.

He was then appointed to Temecula's first Traffic Commission on October 2, 1990 where he served until he was elected to the Temecula City Council on November 3, 1992, and then re- elected four additional times to serve a total of five continuous terms on the City Council until retirement in December 2014. Ron Roberts is the only Council Member in the City's history to serve as Mayor five times and his leadership is a pivotal reason for Temecula's success. Ron is recognized for many accomplishments with one of his most notable achievements being his leadership to secure $8.5 million of State funding to construct Temecula's 34,000 square foot state -of- the -art public library. His leadership was also instrumental in preserving the Temecula Duck Pond as a beautiful City gateway; advancing economic growth in Temecula including the development of a regional mall and the revitalization of Old Town; providing parks for families and youth; promoting senior programs and facilities; supporting non - profit organizations that provide services to enhance the well -being of Temecula citizens; prioritizing public safety and anti -gang law enforcement; and helping to secure Federal, State, and Regional funding to improve the City's transportation infrastructure including Temecula roadways, freeway interchanges, traffic light synchronization, and public transit opportunities.
