He stated the results from the Library survey indicated citizens <br />were more concerned with the interior of the Library. He felt that Site C would be a good <br />location for the Library and it would be a passive use the existing adjacent neighbors could <br />accept. <br /> <br />MOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER DIETZ AND SECONDED BY MAYOR <br />KLINZING TO: <br /> <br />1. APPROVE A NEW LIBRARY PROJECT ON SITE C, SOUTH OF <br />ORONO PARKWAY ACROSS FROM THE PUBLIC SAFETY/CITY <br />HALL COMPLEX. <br /> <br />2. DIRECT STAFF TO EXPLORE FUNDING OPTIONS FOR THE NEW <br />LIBRARY. <br /> <br />3. DIRECT STAFF TO NEGOTIATE WITH KKE ARCHITECTS TO BE <br />THE PROJECT ARCHITECT FOR THE LIBRARY. <br /> <br />MOTION CARRIED 5-0. <br /> <br />Mayor Klinzing stated the Library should continue to move forward with getting <br />information out to citizens about the new Library. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dietz suggested staff analyze how to utilize the current Library site when <br />vacant. <br /> <br />Councilmember Motin stated it may be too soon to discuss the future use of the existing <br />Library site because it may be cost prohibitive. <br /> <br />6.1.
