RE:	Phase I - ADA Compliance


I would like to take the opportunity to follow-up on my
memorandum of February 7, 1994.  As you know, our presentation
of the Phase I proposal on January 31, 1994 emphasized compliance
with the Americans with Disabilities Act.  During the course of
the meeting several additional interior and exterior deficiencies
were outlined.  As a result of your request, Architecture +
transmitted a list of deficiencies with corresponding cost
estimates.  As stated previously, the Library Board of Trustees
would support a decision to include any or all of the itemizes
renovation tasks into the Phase 1 project.  A review of the
deficiencies with Architecture + may assist you in placing
renovation tasks in priority order.

Based upon radio and newspaper reports, a special Council meeting
may be called to focus on the Library.  As always, I and Library
officials stand ready to meet with you or answer any additional
questions that you may have.  Thank you again for your
consideration in this matter.
