OLD BUSINESS
a. Five Year CIP: Brownley discussed the lack of library representation on
the City committee working on the CIP. The plan will be re-evaluated year
by year, since income, sales tax and revenue sharing may alter. The Council
is to approve the first year plan at its next meeting. The Central Library
is projected to cost $8,282,000 and-be completed by 1985. It is only partly
funded and grants must be obtained. Mary Casler said the City.is paying
$20,000 to a company in Atlanta for guidance in ways of getting grants. The
Board should send a letter to the City Manager requesting that he include
the library in the priority. .Cole suggested a committee/to search for a
site after the first of the year. The committee will be Brownley, Trigas
and Falkenstein. . • ..
