Ms. Nancy Zussy summarized the three alternative proposals
presented by Mudano Associates for main library construction
on a phased basis. Of the three alternatives, Ms. Zussy stated
that the first alternative, consis~ing of two new complete flQors
constructed west of the existing building with no funds spent on
renovation of the 1960 addition, would be the easiest for the
library staff to work with, giving the largest amount of usable
square footage.
There was general discussion by the group present concerning
the number of phases and the time schedule needed to complete the
entire main library. Mr. Butler explained that this could not
be predicted due to various reasons. Members of the Friends of
the Library present expressed their concern that the library needs
be met, and asked that all phases be presented .1,: ,Mr. Butler
suggested that the group decide whether they support one of
these alternatives so that Tony Shoemaker, City Manager, could
present this to the City Commission in the next few weeks.
A three part motion was made by Mr. Royer, stating:
1) That the group present supports the first altern~tive
as the first phase of construction;
2) That the group asks for a resolution of intent on the
part of the City Commission to complete additional
phases of the library as funds can be made available
and as soon as possible;
3) That the group asks the City Commission to instruct
the architect to complete the plans and proceed with
