On April 15, 2014, staff presented to City Council a series of additional improvements to better meet the project goals and enhance the Dove Library as a community gathering space. The recommended improvements included upgrades to the courtyard and auditorium, creating a west patio, adding a cafe, relocating the Friends of the Library bookstore, and removing the south stairs to enhance public seating options and create a "community living room" feel. Also recommended were additional maintenance items including a new roof, duct cleaning, window and door sealants, and parking lot resurfacing. Refinishing the exterior stucco of the Dove Library was also discussed, but is not recommended for further consideration. City council directed staff to return at a later date with additional information about the public benefit as well as the impact ofthe auditorium, cafe, and courtyard improvements on facility use and revenues before rendering a decision about the additional scope of work. Staff has completed the requested analysis for City Council presentation and recommends approval ofthe proposed Dove Library additional improvements.
