<br />IIIH.. <br /> <br />CITY OF SAN MARCOS <br /> <br />OFFICE MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Mayor Younger and Members of the City Council <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />The San Marcos Public Library Board <br /> <br />BJECT: <br /> <br />LSCA Library Construction Grant <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />March 22, 1987 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />The city has an opportunity to obtain $200,000 in federal funds by applying <br />for a Library Services and Construction Act, Title II, grant. The LSCA <br />grants must be used to construct public library buildings which meet certain <br />minimum per capita space requirements. According to grant guidelines, a <br />community of our size must be served by a library of at least 20,348 square <br />feet. Our current facility is just 12, 264 square feet or 60% of the recommended <br />standard. <br /> <br />The library board would like to recommend that the city apply for the LSCA <br />grant and use it to help fund the construction of a new 25,000 square foot <br />facility to be built on East Hopkins Street across from City Hall. Other <br />sources of funding for the project might include sale of the existing library <br />building, sale of general obligation bonds and grants from private foundations. <br /> <br />Library Director Stephanie Langenkamp has prepared the pre-application for <br />the LSCA grant. In order to proceed with the grant application process, the <br />city council must now pass a resolution which authortzes filing of the pre- <br />application. After passage of this resolution, pre-applications must be sub- <br />mitted to the Texas State Library and the Capitol Area Planning Council for <br />review by May 1, 1987. <br /> <br />Ákrt ~ <br />Sandy Sto ér <br /> <br />~ ;¿ <br />(" /. ~Arr t£' <br />uzWlãnson .r<.- <br /> <br />JUdY~~ <br /> <br /> <br />Da1~ ~ <br />~~ <br />Donna Swinney. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Alice Hopkins <br /> <br />~~£~ <br />I' <br />
