introduced the item recommending approval. He said the County Library agreed to apply for a
construction grant for the 10,000 square feet of library space we are proposing to provide in the new
City Hall. The County would pay for the electric and utilities. He noted that the City could try
for grant funds this year and next, and if we were fortunate enough to be selected, the City could
ultimately either accept of reject any grant.
