RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Librarian to close the Oakley Library on January 2, 2020 at the request of the Freedom High School Principal and the Oakley Police Department, to accommodate active shooter training that will be conducted on the Freedom High School campus where the Oakley Library is located.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The Oakley Police Department has requested to have the entire campus of the Freedom High School closed for the day in order to conduct Active Shooter Training from 7 a.m. until 6 p.m. Police, fire and paramedics will be practicing live drills with sirens, simulated gunfire, entering and exiting different doors, and other simulation drills. The Oakley Library is located on the school campus where the training will occur.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the library is not closed the library would have to operate in an environment that is unsafe and uncomfortable for staff and library users, and the training exercise will be canceled and or postponed and the time and effort spent coordinating the drill will have been wasted.
