As anticipated, the UPL buyout report back is coming to Council on May 12. We are asking that everyone who is able plan to join us at 6pm on Tuesday, May 12 at City Hall to listen to the presentation and support the public commenters.

The future of UPL is up for discussion at City Council on May 12. Please join Coalition organizers on a Zoom call ahead of the Council Meeting to hear the latest and how you can show your support.

The formation of the Library Advisory Committee is a vital step in ensuring the success of the Irvine Public Library system. However, to ensure this body is effective, credible, and truly representative of the community, we urge the City Council to approve the plan with two revisions…

In early May, city staff should be able to clarify whether buying the University Park Library land is an option. With that information in hand, Council will have to decide whether to attempt a buyout or consider an alternative. As we plan for this and other important milestones, we hope you will take a moment to share your thoughts with us.

Read on for an update on a “UPL buyout” option. At the end of the post is a draft email you can send to Supervisor Foley and Irvine City Council to let them know you are looking forward to the report.
