At the North County Library, it <br />could complete all site improvements, the expansion of the meeting room and lobby, and <br />construction of the reading room with remodeling for the children's area. <br />RECOMENDATION: <br />Authorize the use of the existing approved funds for the Main and North County Libraries plus <br />the additional funds previously allocated for the West Library ($1,264,868), the funds <br />bequeathed to the library ($683,000) and authorize staff to proceed with negotiating contracts <br />with the two architectural firms to design the improvements as outlined in Scenario 6 within the <br />funding levels identified. <br />General Services Director Tom Frame noted that the original estimates for the <br />expansion were grossly low and staff is now recommending Scenario 6 with an allocation <br />of the additional $201000 shortfall from this year's budget. <br />Commissioner Macht noted that some of the money will be used for upgrades and <br />improvements, and Director Frame stated that the building upgrades are included in the <br />recommendation. However, the hurricane glass has been removed because of the cost. <br />MAY 239 2000 <br />-52- <br />• 0 <br />
