Summary

Council discussed relocating the library’s light-switch box to a wall inside the office, adding accessible lighting at the entrance, and repurposing the reception area to serve as a podium adjacent to the planned conference table.

Councilmembers discussed practical details for the library remodeling project, including moving the light-switch box to a central wall near the office so staff will not have to walk across the room to reach switches. A councilmember asked that an accessible light remain inside the door so people entering at night have illumination; staff agreed to follow up with the contractor (Doyle) to confirm specifics.

Members also proposed repurposing the existing reception desk area as a podium next to the new conference table and asked the contractor to determine flooring type (oak or pine) for reuse. Chair indicated the council wants to preserve and reuse as much existing material as practical and asked for follow-up on the lighting plan and the placement of the desk area.
