A. Consideration of Library Renovation: Librarian Jill Tierce
introduced Library Board Chair Vic Bucy, who gave a brief overview of the
process to-date. Mr. Bucy expressed appreciation for the support of Sam Balen,
Scott McClendon, Nancy Leonard, Mike Dowsett and Barbara Smith-Huggins for their
efforts throughout the process. Jill Tierce, Architect Mark Seder, and
Contractor Richard Iverson then made their presentations to the Urban Renewal
Agency. Discussion ensued. It was noted that some of the work would actually be
done by volunteers, and therefore the costs may end up being less than
anticipated. Additionally, Ms. Tierce noted that they would be applying for
grant monies to assist in furnishing the new space. Chair Welch noted that the
Urban Renewal funds could only be used for capital improvements, and Ms. Leonard
confirmed. The Agency expressed appreciation for the presentations. Following
further discussion, Ms. Woodruff moved to set aside funds up to $50,000
and then if they needed additional monies they could again approach the Urban
Renewal Agency. Mr. Welch seconded the motion, which then carried
unanimously on a voice vote.
