LIBRARY COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 9, 2007 PAGE 2 January 26,2007 To: Library commission Members From: Kathy Heus RE: library Expansion At the work session with the Council and the Library Commission in December, it was my understanding that the Council favored the 10,000 sf single story addition, with a 7000 sf second story addition. Since that time it has been questioned whether the 2"d addition would be incorporated into the overall plan. I have heard that the 2na addition would not be pa1-t of the initial proposal for funding (i.e. bond issue}. If this is true, I would ask how funding for the 2°d addition would come about and in what timeline after the ls` addition. When the cost of the 10,000 sf addition was determined, was the cost of renovating the existing library considered? If not, what would the estimated cost of that likely to be? Would the additional cost be such that a whole new site and building might be considered? Perhaps a 20,000 sf new building would meet needs as efficiently as an addition and renovation of existing site and not cost a whole lot more. Also, if a new building would be constructed, there would not be the disruption to library activities that renovation would incur. 1 would like to have dlis put in the packet with the agenda for our February meeting.
