Chairman Homer Royer called the meeting to order at 9:30 AM. Mrs. Zussy
reported that the City Manager's office has not received any responses from
area schools contacted for a student ex-officio member, due to the problem
of school class conflicts with City Board meetings during the day.
Mrs. Zussy read a resolution to the Board for their approval regarding the
contribution of the late Taver Bayly, who served on the Clearwater Library
Board for 43 years and who actively worked for improved library services for the
City. Two Board members moved that this resolution be sent to Mr. Bayly's
family and be read at a City Commission meeting. The motion was approved
unanimously.

Regarding a December Library Board meeting, Mr. Royer moved to dispense
with the regular meeting on December 21, 1979, due to the proximity of the
holidays. The motion was seconded by Mr. Korosy and approved unanimously.
~Ir. Royer reported on the Friends of the Library luncheon, which featured
Jean Malchon speaking on countywide library services. Notes on the meeting
prepared by Friends of the Library President Matt Moore were distributed to
Board members. Mrs. Zussy will also send the Board a summary of the area
librarians' proposal for a countywide library system which was discussed and
endorsed at tile Suncoast City Manager's Association meeting on November 14, 1979.
At this time Mrs. Zussy introduced Mr. Bob Brundage of Caladesi Construction
Company. Mr. Brundage gave a presentation on pre~engineered structures. (His
company markets the Butler system). Some of the advantage~ of pre-engineered
systems discussed included: time and labor savings, dealing with only one
company (at least in, the caSf; of Butler), and energy savings (more economical
to insulate than conventional structures). Board members asked Mr. Brundage
general questions on these systems regarding warranties, cost savings ~ver
conventional structures, life of the pre-engineered structures. types of
materials used, and sound problems. Mr. Brundage estimated the cost of a
pre-engineered system would be a savings of 20-25% of the cost of a

conventional building. He explained that conventional building costs for
this area run approximately $35-38 per square foot, while pre-engineered
systems costs run $25-28 per square foot. Included in the latter figure
is the assumed use of some conventional methods for exterior wall treatments,
such as brick, stone, masonry, or stucco, used in conjunction with the
intrastructure of a pre-engineered system. A straight metal pre-engineered
structure would run approximately $18 per square foot. Mr. Brundage
explained the type of materials used:

steel, primed at the factory (can be painted
to match interior color)
metal studs with panels of S/811 drywall

any type of standard ceiling (girders do not

of the metal wall panels requires less
insulation than other conventional wall

At this point, ~fr. Royer suggested that due to time constraints the
Board might like to conclude i.ts business and interested members could stay
afterward to continue questioning Mr. Brundage.
Mr. Barre quoted figures from past correspondence regarding the Main
Library's square footage (quoted at 60,000 square fcet). Based on that data
Mr. Barre assumed the Main Library would eventually be expanded to 60,000
square feet using phased construction, and that 30,000 square feet was
therefore a justifiable request for a branch for East Clearwater. Mrs. Zussy
explained that approximately 10,000 square feet in the Main Library used for
administrative offices and centralized processing would not be duplicated
in any branch. She also noted that the Main Library will be operating in
only approximately 39,600 square feet plus 7,400 square feet of unfinished
space. City Manager Tony Shoemaker explained that anything blJilt in the
City of Clearwater is designed with the idea that sometime in the future
there may be a need for expansion. He noted that the City Commission does
not anticipate any further plans for expansion of the downtown facility.
Instead Mr. Shoemaker believes the Commission's primary concern will be
library service for East Clearwater (with a possible bond issue in 1980-81)
and later library service for Countryside (these steps taking 5-10 years).
Mrs. Diller asked that a dollar evaluation be provided on a compromise
between 20,000 and 30JOOO square feet showing exactly what would be included
for the cost. She asked that this be presented with drawings, pictures, ctc'J

shOliing both conventional and pre-engineered systems. Mr. Shoemaker
noted that a better course of action might be the determination of
services needed for the East Clearwater areaJ from which the type and
size structure needed would evolve naturally.
Mr. Royer invited Mr. Shoemaker to the ncxt Board meeting in
January, 1980, to answer more of the Board's conccrns on this matter.
