Old Business
City campus planning update (John) - Summary of site plan ideas presented at workshop
Main points from slide presented at workshop:
Treasure Valley Transit - they assume they can move driveway to parking so we can
have green space between city hall and library.
Library expansion may be to the front and rear of the library, move bike path back a little
to give more space and removing current parking in front of library to provide space to
expand towards Park Street.
Want city council to discuss/make decision about annex at their next meeting
Hope to have it figured out by the time a consultant is hired.
John showed a rough sketch of how city could screen the annex from the library (nothing set in
stone). Group discusses options.
John showed a profile of the library expansion -- an idea would be a 2 story space atrium added
to the front of existing library, back would be 2 floors of actual library space. It would create a
total of 12,500 sq ft.
