A sketch prepared by the Planning Director was distributed
showing a 30,000 signle floor building can fit on the

Line was also distributed.
Don Carter, Chairman of the Long Range Planning Committee
presented facts and figures, and noted three architects have
been selected from the 13 who presented proposals. Final
sq. ft. space has been determined according to state
interviews will be May 15th. He reported the need for a 30,000
basement, meeting rooms, elev.stor and parking spots. It is the
calculations for a 20 year pnjection. Need to discuss
concensus of the Library Bead that the preferred site is the
space needs which could be re.solved by using the vacated
Library space.
Misko suggested extending cur:rent Library to the northeast, or
new building to the northeast with walkway for access between
the two buildings, with 15,009 sq. ft. one story building with
a 15,000 sq. ft. basement.
Rasmussen stated his constituents ask why the proposed project,
what is to be achieved, and w:hat is the goal. Carter reviewed
increase in users and publications, growth of collection, lack
of space to provide services the citizens demand. Director
Sanhuber cited population inc:rease, no quiet space, not enough
books on tape and video, computer for public use, meeting rooms,
and having only 35 seats for 19,000+ population is difficult.

Rasmussen asked if the Board would be willing to look at the
possibility of sharing facilities with the School District.
Holly responded that it was looked at in 1992. The State put
together a discussion about combined school/public libraries as
to funding, staffing, salaries, etc. A copy will be provided.
Patterson stated he has been in favor of a joint library, but
there are problems with separating students and public on
school days, and security problems. Holly noted the public
Holly felt if attached to a school, it would be more
library and school library have different mission statements.
appropriate to be attached to an elementary school because
there are more elementary patrons than high school. Rasmussen
requested a meeting with the School Board.
Sanders felt a 20 year projection was too far out. He
requested hard costs for what this building could cost. He
preferred adding to the south of City Hall. Building a
basement for meeting rooms is good. He felt 25,000 sq. ft.
would be sufficient. Requested tax impact on projected cost.
Patterson didn't feel 20 years is unreasonable. It's already
going on 10 years since the addition.
Mayor summarized the discussion. The concensus is the building
provided in this facility for the long term. Build close to or
should have a basement. We want to be proactive in space
attached to City Hall for sharing of services. Haven't heard
it should go east of the police station. Explore one more time
the possible shared facility with a school. Give direction to
the architect combining and/or sharing facility with City Hall
expansion of City Hall and Library in future. Try to see if
is preferred and let architect make the design. Possible
without requiring the sprinkling of City Hall. Security of
City Hall elevator is sufficient for ADA access to the Library
using elevator should be looked at. Look at attaching facility
to save money.
Misko moved to adjourn at 9:40 PM. Salentine seconded, carried.
Mayor will arrange.
