Fr,_ <br />h <br />kV 01999, <br />PRESENTATION ON NORTH COUNTY LIBRARY BY ARCHITECT <br />60011 76 96 <br />Commissioner Eggert introduced William A. Bibo, Chief <br />Architect of Stottler, Stagg & Associates, to make a presentation <br />on the North County Community Library. <br />Mr. Bibo informed the Board that the plans and specifica- <br />tions for the North County Community Library are ready to go to <br />Tallahassee. He then displayed a model of the building they have <br />developed, noting that a great deal of the facade is made up of <br />reflective safety glass with a bronze tint. The building itself <br />will be a dark blue-green color. The parking will be in front of <br />the main entrance, and in addition to the staff offices, adult <br />reading and reference areas, and young adult and children's <br />areas, it will have a community meeting room which is separated <br />from the main part of the library off of the lobby. <br />Commissioner Scurlock commented that the building as <br />presented seems functional and it is very attractive. <br />Mr. Bibo stated that it is an energy efficient type of <br />building, very flexible, and designed so that it can be manned <br />with very little staff. <br />Administrator Chandler informed the Board that he feels very <br />comfortable with what is designed. It is well within budget; the <br />estimate is 1.2 million and we have 1.4 million set aside. <br />Commissioner Eggert advised that what is needed is a Motion <br />to accept the library plans and give approval so that when state <br />approval has been obtained, we can move ahead and go out to bid. <br />ON MOTION BY Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0) accepted <br />and approved the library plans as presented and <br />authorized going out to bid upon said plans receiving <br />state approval. <br />8 <br />
