Changes In the budget as made on May 4 wei*e discussed^
A recommendation from Tim Flanagan of Engineering had , ',••/'
sugfrpsted we employ an architect to design modifications '
of the library mezzanine. Alvln W. Ray of Sari DlegO'had •
been contacted and submitted- a' proposal for four phases of
the work. These wore studied.
Mr. Flanagan had suggested elimination of the elevator and
substitution of a dumbwaiter tio cut costs. The Board agreed,
He had also suggested onlytone stairway be constructed,
but since many citizen groups request use of the library
fon moetings, tho Hoard decided to stay with its 2-stairway1 plan, as groups might be scheduled into this area in'the
future. The secretary will write Mr. Flanagan explaining >:
our views. , y.• i *•.'
