Mr. Sullivan asked if the feasibility study would address the expansion of the Library versus relocation of the Library? Mr. Fialho said once it has been determined what the facility can accommodate or cannot accommodate, it will drive or resurrect the Master Plan for the Civic Center. If Council decided to expand the facility and the feasibility study determines that can occur, staff will need to review build out of the Civic Center in the context of this expansion. As a part of its work plan next year, Council will need to make a decision as to whether this project is a priority. It was moved by Mr. Sullivan, seconded by Mr. Brozosky, to authorize the issuance of an RFQ to prepare a library expansion feasibility study. In response to an inquiry by Ms. McGovern, Mr. Fialho said the feasibility study would determine the cost of expansion assuming the Library can be expanded as well as the cost of building a new facility somewhere on this site. Staff and Council will be discussing the plans for a Community and Youth Center on the Bernal property and if there any activates within those uses that might diminish the need for certain space at the Library. Ultimately, Council will need to address the growing needs of the Library and the decision point for Council will be to serve build out needs. Ms. Farnsworth informed Council that a State bond measure would be on the June 6, 2006 Primary Election Ballot for Public Library Construction which if successful, would offer significant grant opportunities.
