The library board met in a special called meeting in council chambers.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a letter from Robert Rohlf
dated November 4, 1975 dealing directly with electrical plans for the
new building. Larry Gambrell of Cox/Gambrell Associates, Denver, the
electrical consultant for the new building, dealt with the seven items
listed in Mr. Rohlf's letter.
Items one, two, three, four, and six were resolved by explanation of
the electrical drawings and clarification of the planning done by the
library staff.
Item five dealing with the use of circuit breakers rather than switches
was discussed at length. Larry Gambrell stated that it was possible
to provide switches instead of circuit breakers at a cost of $1,800/floor.
The board felt that expenditure of that amount would be excessive. Bob
Burns asked that it be possible to lock any circuit carrying data
processing equipment.
Item seven was discussed at length. Larry Gambrell traced the evolution
of the lighting design used in the building and submitted technical
reports to show light levels available from the different types of fix-
tures being used. Explanation was made of the flexibility of this con-
cept as well as the energy -saving possible by its use. The board
instructed the architect to proceed with this lighting scheme as modified
by the inclusion of added junction boxes.
At the conclusion of this discussion Robert Brunton, City Manager, joined
the group. Copies of the furnishings and equipment plan for the new
building as developed by Everett/Zeigel Associates were distributed to
the board. The board agreed with Mr. Brunton's plan to present this
same material to the City Council November 25. The board went on record
that new furniture and equipment for the public areas is the highest
priority.
The meeting was then adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
