This official meeting of the Fort Collins Library Board replaces the
official August meeting which would normally be held August 6.
The Board examined the test pouring of the concrete aggregate panel
for the outside finish of the new library.
The Board reviewed the proposed 1976 library budget. The budget was
approved and will be sent to the City Manager's office, though some ques-
tions were raised concerning staff needs for the new building and it was
suggested by board president Sarah Bennett that the library administrative
staff be prepared to cut their personnel requests. It was noted that the
book budget for 1974 and 1975 was not from the City's general fund but
was from Revenue Sharing funds. Also, the proposed book budget for 1976,
$120,000, would be from Capital Improvement funds.
Sarah Bennett voiced strong personal objection to the placement of
the restrooms on both floors of the new library building. The Board voted
to ask the architects to examine the possibility of changing the access
to these restrooms by turning them to the north thus leaving a blank wall
both in the lobby and on the second floor.
Other matters concerning the building that were discussed included
placement of sinks, access to office area, lockers and projection port.
Respectfully submitted,
Jane Davis, Secretary Pro-tem
