A recommendation was made to submit a proposal to
the City Council for the Library Sign. The proposal
will include the estimated cost, design, and
location of the sign. The Maintenance Department
has not yet coated the project; however, it was
indicated that the $3500 budgeted should be
sufficient .
B. Working Session to Develop Report to Council on
Timeline and Building Plan for Library
Susan Fuller, County Librarian, and Janice Yee,
Deputy Librarian, presented a timeline and
summarized their findings. Fuller mentioned that
she, Janice, and Dolly had meet with Harry Peacock,
City Manager, and Carolyn King regarding cost and
timeline. The City could finance approximately
$500,000 for an expansion, but if the final plan
would cost more it would need to be funded by
issuing a bond. The earliest a bond could be issued
is November 1992 and it was determined that a June
1993 date allowed for more input and consensus
building. Carolyn King also mentioned that the
amount budgeted for the architectural feasibility
study was $15,000 and that the Council would be
approving the budget within the next month.

Bill Watkins presented a Needs Assessment report for
