Library basement project could move to council as foundation mulls $200,000 request
Summary
Architects have delivered a report on a library basement project; City Librarian Jennifer said the Library Foundation president indicated she would consider taking a request for up to $200,000 to the foundation board if the project advances to council.
Jennifer said library architects completed a basement report and that staff hope to bring the proposal to city council in July for a decision on whether to pursue the work. She said the decision to move forward will depend in part on how broader fiscal developments (including Valero) shape city priorities.
On potential local fundraising, Jennifer said she had a preliminary conversation with Sharon, president of the Library Foundation, who indicated she would take a request to the foundation board 'for up to $200,000' to support the basement project. Jennifer emphasized the pledge was not yet official because the foundation has not formally met.
