The Moorpark Library Board regular meeting, identified in the title as November 10, 2026, focused on the upcoming library management RFP and the new library project. During public comment, residents urged the city to make competitive librarian pay, regular pay progression, adequate staffing, and retention priorities in the next management agreement; one speaker also asked the city to evaluate bringing professional library staff into city employment. Staff said the RFP would be reviewed soon, including by an ad hoc committee with two City Council members. In discussing board responsibilities, staff clarified that the board is advisory and that City Council retains budget and financial decision-making authority. No management contract award, procurement vote, or salary decision was made at this meeting.

The Friends of the Library reported committing $17,000 to library programs for the current fiscal year and raising more than $150,000 net for new-library enhancements through its brick fundraiser. The Friends placed an order with Brick Markers USA for 653 commemorative bricks and 213 keepsake bricks; delivery was expected in January, with installation possibly closer to March. Staff reported that construction was progressing, contingency funds were being used for unforeseen items, no additional construction funding request was anticipated, and the project remained on track for a mid-May to early-June move-in. The board also received a construction update; no related spending approval was taken.
