REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
MEETING DATE: 8/1/2016
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Stephanie Beverage, Director of Library Services
SUBJECT: Approve and accept donation of $50,000.00 from the Friends of the Huntington
Beach Public Library for the Main Street Branch Library
Statement of Issue:
The Friends of the Huntington Beach Public Library are donating up to $50,000 to support interior
improvements at the Main Street Branch Library. Due to donations already exceeding $100,000 in
support of the library, this donation must be accepted by the City Council.
Financial Impact:
The funds will be deposited into account 10359401 and will be used to pay for the Acoustic
remediation at the Main Street Branch.
Recommended Action:
Approve and accept the donation from the Friends of the Huntington Beach Public Library for use at
the Main Street Branch Library.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the donation.
Analysis:
The $50,000 donation is specifically for the installation of Acoustic Baffling in the Main Reading
Room and the Blue Story Time Room at the Main Street branch library. The Acoustic paneling will
help mitigate noise in the concrete structure while improving and enhancing the environment in the
Library.
This generous donation will help the Library maintain and improve the experience for library patrons
at our Main Street location. Support from the Friends of the Huntington Beach Public Library helps
improve and enhance library services to the community.
