Dennis Humphries used PowerPoint to review the City Campus Master Plan process. A
committee met throughout the spring,there were public open houses and online comments. City
Council voted unanimously on a preferred option July 11th.That option allows the library to
proceed with expansion plans in a way that is very similar to the original 2016 plans,with the
addition of some possible future phases on city campus aspects.
Consultants reviewed project schedule:
• Schematic design
• Design development
• City Council adoption of resolution to plan for May 2020 ballot
• Construction documents
• Pricing
• Construction
Consultants gathered feedback from the group:
• Program for the new library- Director and staff will work closely with Dennis
• Aesthetic design-"log cabin" and "sleek modern" are aesthetics not desired by the group
• Process for gathering community input will be "World Cafe" organized by Dennis
• Repurposing of existing library may be redesigned by Dennis and city/library staff
• They will try to be present during a few fundraising activities
• Public art-how will it be incorporated?To what extent?
It was generally agreed by the group that the Building Committee and Board of Trustees will
have joint meetings as the design process moves forward. In between meetings, all agreed that
the "core" group of Meg, Andy,John and Dennis will be making several choices and progress
will be presented at the monthly meetings.
