OLD BUSINESS
Branc e. Trustee moody reported that he and Trustee Lynes visited Dr. Corey and
e statea Ehatstate there was a possible site on the CTA property, one on the west side of
the main building, and one on the south east side. He stated that the CTA wished
that if the building were constructed that we have conference rooms, and that they
would lease the building to us for ten years and amortize during that period. Trustee
Moody stated that in his opinion the amortization for ten years would not be desirable,
and that the proposition would never work out for library purposes as the present cost
of land per acre was too high for library use. He stated that this was his opinion
only, as he had not talked to Trustee Lynes, and this was only his thinking.
There was considerable discussion on a possible site located between the Secondary
School and the Benjamin Franklin School on Quesada. The Elementary School Board
realizes that if they build executive offices on this site, due to the possible con-
solidation of the Elementary School District with the Secondary School District, the
offices would no longer be necessary. Therefore, there is the possibility that this
site might be used for the construction of a BraAch or, if offices are built, they
might be so constructed that they could be readily converted to library use.
