PEQUOT LAKES COMMUNITY LIBRARY <br /> PROPOSAL FOR ADDITIONAL SPACE <br /> OCTOBER 2, 2007 <br /> 1. The Library is requesting the City Council to allow the Library to develop the back <br /> storage room. <br /> - a first floor of approximately 1,677 square feet to be used as follows: <br /> - approximately 540 square feet to be used by the library as additional <br /> completed space for non-fiction materials <br /> - approximately 237 square feet to be used by the City Clerk for storage <br /> - approximately 900 square feet to be used jointly by the City and the <br /> Library for: <br /> • Library work area for material preparation <br /> • lunchroom for city employees and volunteers <br /> o mechanical area and stairway to second floor <br /> • bathroom <br /> - a second floor of approximately 1,677 square feet for city use. <br /> 2. The cost of the project, as we discussed several months ago, is estimated to be <br /> approximately $150,000. <br /> 3. This additional space will meet the Library's needs for the foreseeable future. In fact, <br /> the Library Board does not see the library growing beyond this point. <br /> 4. In order to move this project forward, the Library is seeking the City Council's <br /> approval to commence building out the back room contingent on the Library raising the <br /> required $150,000. Just to be clear,the Library is willing to secure the necessary funding <br /> for the project. While we believe it would be appropriate for the City to pay for the <br /> portion of the project that will be dedicated to City use,the Library does not want to <br /> delay the project waiting for those funds. <br />
