!DS GA~~S COUNCIL/AGENCY AGENDA REPORT
DATE: JULY 29, 2009
TO: MAYOR AND TOWN COUNCIL/
CHAIR AND MEMBERS OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
FROM: GREG LARSON, TOWN MANAGER/EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: PROGRESS REPORT ON NEW LIBRARY DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
BACKGROUND:
On October 1, 2007, the Town Council directed staff to proceed with specific planning for a new
library with the assistance of an architectural firm. Noll & Tam Architects have been working
with staff since April 2008 to design the new library, beginning with a conceptual design which
was presented to Council in January, 2009. The conceptual design defined the project for
purposes of the environmental evaluation and land use approvals which are currently in process.
The purpose of the presentations at the August 3, 2009 Council meeting is to share the progress
on the exterior and interior design of the new library with the public and the Council.
DISCUSSION:
As the design of the new library progresses, the architects continue to follow the principles
embraced by the Council and public which call for the library to:
Be warm and inviting
Work with and enhance the existing Civic Center, but not mimic it
Respond to nature and incorporate natural materials
R Look outward and allow views inward
■ Achieve at least LEED Silver certification
At the August 3rd Council meeting, the architects will make a presentation showing how the
design of the library will achieve these principles. Specifically, the architects will present the
revised site plan, watercolor renderings of the exterior, floor plans, renderings of the key interior
spaces, and samples of materia[ls- to be used in the library.

With regard to achieving LEED Silver certification, the architects and their subconsultants have
identified many elements to be incorporated in the design, materials and building systems to
meet LEED criteria. In addition, the architects and sub-consultants have conducted two
workshops with staff, the Council Library sub-committee, Planning Commission representatives,
and Library Board and Friends of the Library chairpersons to discuss the opportunities for
including sustainable elements in the new library. A key feature of the "green" library will be
components to educate the public in general and children specifically about how the library is
saving energy and reducing its carbon footprint.
Timeline and Kev Milestones
As noted above, the environmental review process for the new library is currently underway.
Concurrently, the architects are completing the design development phase, which includes
greater detail than provided in the conceptual design and schematic design phases that have
already been completed. The construction manager, Swinerton, is on board and will be working
with staff and the architects to review and confirm design details and costs prior to development
of the construction documents which are used to bid the project.
Following are the targeted key milestones for the library project:
Final Environmental Impact Report complete
Planning Commission review
Town Council review
Project bidding
Contract award
Groundbreaking

November, 2009

December, 2009/January, 2010
March - May, 2010
May/June, 2010
June/July, 2010
November/December, 2011
Each of the above milestones requires many interim steps, a number of which staff will bring
forward to Council for approval. A more comprehensive timeline will be provided to Council
when the project is brought forward for final review and approval in December or January.
CONCLUSION:
As the Council will see in the August 3rd presentation, the architects have incorporated many
more details into the design of the new library and have further developed the site plan and floor
plans. The watercolor renderings, interior renderings and material samples combine to provide a
strong visual illustration of what the new library will look like and how it will function both
inside and outside.
