OLD BUSIii ESS
New Branch.
A report was made by Mr. Mann and a letter from the Truesdale Corp-
pration was read stating that a lot had been set aside for our use. Mr.
Mann stated that he did not like this lot as no parking had been provided.
He thought that the change to the lot, part of and adjacent to the elementary
school property, was the better location of the two and because of its
location would be in the center of a cultural group of buildings and on the
j_ corner of Quesada and `lruesdale Avenues, main travelled struts and that
the parking would probably be provided by the elementary school parking
lots which would not be used by the school people at the library rush times.
Cdr. Mann thought that the educators would probably agree that this was the
better location. He felt that this was more property for the same number
of dollars. He also stated that if we were to purchase the lot, steps
should be taken immediately as a resolution whould be passed by the Board
stating intent to buy and the elementary Board should approve the resolution
and that they be asked to pass a resolution approving the Library Board1s
action. Then the matter should be brought before the Council for- its
adoption in the budget, probably be lease purchase. It was decided that the
necessary steps to pass such a resolution should be tabled and the matter
brought up at a full special Board meeting.
Stack extension and Friends of the Library group and Non-Resident usage by
contract was tabled until resumption of this meeting.
