Commissioner Ray said that in the briefing session, the branch library item was added to
the agenda. She said this indicated an interest in the expansion of library services. She said the
new county library was scheduled for completion during 2003-2004. Ray said she had been
looking at the DSS alternative the board might become involved with that would provide a
sharing of the lease expense, should property be leased, and the federal government's input
through the state in helping pay the lease.
OT10 by Commissioner Ray that the funds earmarked for the DSS project be
redirected to the library project, and further, that the library project be scheduled for completion
during 2002-2003. Ray further requested for the staff to seek design qualifications from
architectural firms with significant experience in library design and a good record of cost
estimation and satisfactory project completion, and further, that the board instruct the county
manager to pursue the option of leasing space for DSS expansion and report back to the board by
the January planning session on the best option.
