(City Council/Redevelopment Agency) Study Session Held — The Library Board of
Trustees Presented Information, Including an Architect's Analysis and Preliminary
Findings Regarding the Planning and Building of a New Banning Branch of the
Huntington Beach Public Library
Interim City Administrator Paul Emery called on Ron Hayden, Director of Library Services, who
gave an overview of the Library's request to plan and re -build a new Banning branch of the
Huntington Beach Public Library. Director Hayden introduced Nancy Williams, Principal
Librarian, who provided background information on the process of retaining Tetra Design
Architects and Planners, and three options to consider when developing the design to rebuild
the Banning branch. She noted the Library Board of Trustees' unanimous support of tonight's
recommendations, and introduced Dionne Cox, Chair of Library Board of Trustees.
July 7, 2008 — Council/Agency Minutes — Page 2 of 12
Chair Cox asked Library Board Members present to provide self introductions, which included:
Richard Moore, Ben Miles, Sidney Kuperberg, and Lloyd Budwig. She then gave a PowerPoint
report titled New Banning Branch Library Project, highlighting the following information: Back-
ground on Banning Library, feasibility study by Tetra Design, aerial and site photographs,
existing interior of Banning Library, goals for Banning Library, changing nature of libraries,
diagram of potential relocation, conceptual design elements, vital community input, community
connections, library volunteer support, estimated costs, preliminary funding plan, future actions
and next steps.
Board Member Moore discussed the current operations of the Banning branch and stated his
opinion that the proposed project would take the City in the direction it needs to provide service
to the southern borders of Huntington Beach. He described green aspects of keeping a library
branch at the southeast area of Huntington Beach that allows parents to walk their school -aged
children to the library versus driving to other libraries.
Board Member Kuperberg discussed the need for the community to have the proposed
upgrades to the Banning library as a much -needed resource to the residents and patrons from
the southeast neighborhood. He restated the support shown by the citizens and the benefits
identified by the community.
Board Member Miles discussed the current, outdated status of the Banning Library, and
discussed the proposed upgrades needed.
Mayor Pro Tern Bohr asked if the need for library services has reduced due to Internet access.
Director Hayden discussed the decline experienced in the reference sections and the increase
experienced in the children's sections of the libraries. He added that libraries have now evolved
to "meeting places" for patrons to gather in Internet rooms and study areas. Mayor Pro Tern Bohr
asked staff to what they attributed the increase in children's services, and Librarian Williams
described the various children's programs offered, the increased number of story times offered
with "packed" attendance at each program, no matter how many they offer. She described the
Banning area as a family -oriented community, adding that routine visits to the library are the
norm, and reading for children is stronger than ever. She informed Council that the Banning
Library can only accommodate 20 children at a time, twice weekly, and described the need to
offer more story times.
Discussion ensued regarding sharing Banning library services with students at Eader Elementary
School since Eader does not employ a school librarian. Director Hayden discussed pursuing joint
services if Council approved the proposed new branch. Council noted that the southeast
community is a vocal community and they look forward to hearing from their residents. Director
Hayden added that if Council supports the new branch and gives direction to move forward, staff
will pursue those avenues to develop a plan of promotion, including the funding package.
Interim Administrator Emery discussed the mid -year budget review and changes in the economy
from the increased revenue streams of 18 months ago. Dan Villella, Finance Director, stated that
staff is currently looking at projects for long-term financial planning and this project is not part of
that process yet.
July 7, 2008 - Council/Agency Minutes - Page 3 of 12
Councilmember Hansen stated his preference to keep this project viable, stating enthusiasm to
present the proposal to activists in the southeast community for support, exploring opportunities of
pursuing joint services with the School District, and possible grant funding through the State.
Councilmember Hardy voiced agreement with Councilmember Hansen and stated support to
keep this project "on the radar" for long-term planning of projects. She discussed the downturn
in the current economy and her belief that this poses a greater need for updated library services
offered.
Councilmember Carchio questioned why staff is looking at this location at this time, as opposed
to north Huntington Beach or downtown. Director Hayden described current conditions of the
Main Street and Oakview branches as adequate, and that Banning branch has been "on the
books" for consideration the longest, with the greatest input received by the southeast
community residents.
Mayor Cook inquired of project costs per square foot, and Director Hayden responded that the
project is 12,500 square feet, and he believed preliminary numbers to be approximately
$200+/square foot. He advised Council that project architects informed staff that revitalizing the
existing branch would not be an option since the structure is too old. Mayor Cook voiced her
agreement with Councilmembers Hansen and Hardy that she would prioritize this project above
other projects being considered for long-term planning.
Councilmember Green stated that since the Orange County Supervisors have split up their
districts, possibly staff could check with Supervisor Moorlach for financial support. Director
Hayden assured Council that if approval is reached for this proposed concept, staff will turn over
every leaf for financial assistance, stating his willingness to provide ongoing status reports of
progress made.
Board Member Miles discussed the possibility of exploring a construction bond measure as
another avenue of financial assistance.
