City Center Development. The location of the building was the
major reason for the purchase. Enclosed malls need a major draw
to attract other business. Proposal includes Post Office in NW
corner and Library in NE corner. Library can have 40,000 to
50,000 square feet of space. Will configure entrances and halls
to suit library. Gave overview of renovation plans if library
occupies space otherwise will tear down rear and reconfigure as
a strip mall.

and lead paint. Operating costs between mall location and city
hall location were a concern. Need cost figures to do comparison
between Durrant numbers and numbers on new project. Try to get
comparable numbers to make decision. What would cost saving be?
Pay management fees to mall owner vs City staff costs? What
happens when owners sell? Past experience not good due to mall
deterioration. Use operating agreement to cover concerns?
Building committee needs to focus on the process of library
location. Council will determine whether library gets new
building or mall location. Advantage of mall location would be
earlier occupancy to relieve crowding in City Hall. Building
committee has no major concerns with either option.
8. Other Matters: None
9. Motion to Adjourn: Moved D. Hudzinski, second R. Jankowski at 9:39 P.M..
