LIBRARY
Continued from Page 1
The counc il has not yet scheduled any meeting to
discuss the lihrarv Meetings arc1 usually booked six
weeks in advanc e so nothing is ex|Ht tod to happen
soon, she said.
Through urban renewal c ash reserves, the c it %
has committed as rnuc h as St million of the St -I
million acquisition cost of the Sears building. The
i ouru.il is exploring funding options for the $16
million construction costs and the $700,000
inc rease in operating expenses
Funding depends on the amount of private
donations available, but area residents will likely
foot part of the bill through a serial levy or a gen
eral obligation bond A library foundation has tieen
established to raise private funds and one-third of
these funds i mild tie plac ed in an endowment for
operations.
According to an agenda summary prepared In
tin* City Qmnc.il. o tax-base increase would proba
bly not be likely for operating expenses because
the amount is loo small Library user b*es and < oin
merc inl ventures are also options for c overing
operating ex|>enses.
Construction will probably be financed through
a new general obligation bond that would repay
bond buyers through property taxes A $16 million
bond over ill years would inc rease c ity taxes .ilamt
26 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value
Financing the construction, according to the coun
cil's report, would not be feasible with existing
property taxes
The council is also considering finant mg oper
illiiik expense* with tin* money saved by moving
currently basitd city offi< es into the .Soars build
ing- However. Barrtan said, moving the ofTu.es may
be as i ostly as leasing About 4r> percent of city
offii e spat e is leased
The council is also considering moving offices
into 29.000 square feet of leased space in the near
ly vacant Atrium building to reduce i urrwnt lease
costs and redirect money to the new library. The
planning department would consolidate the Plan
ning Division, the Permit and Information Center,
the Development Division and the fire marshal's
office in the leased office space
The size and design of the new library is uncer
tain until funding is obtained. Unman said Possi
ble designs have been on display at the current
library, but the council may consider expanding
the building and adding extra floors. The ideal size
oi the library would be JOO.OOO square feet to
at i ommodate the 18H.000 people expected to
reside in Kugene by the year 2000
Library supporters are eager for the council to
proceed with the project The old library, built in
1959. has been overcrowded for tile past few years
and supporters have been discussing the library's
future since 198ft. said Molly Stafford, president of
the library board.
"I think people really want a new library and are
enthusiastic about it," Stafford said
The library board, along with the fund-raising
Library Foundation, is currently talking to differ
ent groups to generate support for the new library.
"As a group, our agreement is that the citizens
have chosen the Sears building and we should pro
ceed with that site," she said.
