the Measure D funds for the library and the City’s general fund. Brinkerhoff and
Bankhead re-iterated the conversation they had about the proportionality issue

concerns of Brinkerhoff about the definition of the term “augment” in the
language of the measure. Bankhead suggested that the committee wait for the

public about the concerns with regards to proportionality that were raised when
the initial measure was passed.
