CITY OF CLEARWATER I,ntlrct,plrtment Corre.pond.nco Shelf RECEIV~D OCT 1 6 1973 FROM: COPIES: Library Director, City Engineer, Dua.ne Zussy, Hike Brodeur and ~i111ams & Walker, Architects. SUBJECT: Oct. 15, 1973 - Report - Library Improvements Planning Conference DATE: On October 12, 1973 a planning conference was held in the City Hanagcrls conference room on Library Capital Improvement pro- grams. The programs discussed were the renovation of the Main Library, and the proposed new East Branch Library. The follow- ing items were discussed and conclusions reached: Desig~ of the Main Library renovation by Forrest Watson is under way and will be completed by June or July of 1974. The project can then be put to bid. Construction time is estimated at 14 months. The library staff, and as many of the operating functions as possible, will have to be relocated during the renovation. Acquisition of the Phillips property in the rear of the'Main Library, which,is necessary for additional parking, is in the final acquisition stage. This property was appraised at $7B,000, for which $44,000 was budgeted. A processing staff of approximately 7 or 8 employees will be required in early 1974 for the selection and acquisition of books for the East Branch Library. These would be in addition to the present library staff and will require a building of approximately 10,000 sq. ft. Acquisition of books will cost approximately $100,000. Design of the East Branch Library by the Williams & Walker firm is estimated to be completed by March or April of 1974. It was the opinion of the staff that this structure should be a one-story building of approximately 20,000 sq. ft., rather than a two-story structure, because of the composition (fill) of the ground and because a one- story structure would present feHer problems in supervision. A structure of 20,000 sq. ft. would still leave 60,000 sq. ft. for parking.
