Buildings and PropertyConstruction and PreservationFunding Programmed: NoAccount #:Library BuildingProject Description: Construct an approximately 60k sq. ft. Library facility adequate to serve the needs of Springfield citizensfor the next 20-30 years based on currently adopted population estimates. The projected cost of the new library will be$25,300,000 including design, site preparation, construction, FF&E and landscaping. Estimated facility size and cost werederived from: Standards for Oregon Public Libraries, 2008 by the Public Library Division of the Oregon Library Association; PublicLibrary Space Needs: A Planning Outline, 2009, Anders C. Dahlgren, President of Library Planning Associates, Inc., WisconsinDept. of Public Instruction; Robertson/Sherwood Architects, Eugene, Oregon, Randy Nishimura - Architect.Justification: The Library is currently below Oregon Library Standards for both facilities and open hours for communities oursize. It is at "threshold" (minimum) standards for size of collection. Recently, the Library has experienced double digit increasesin both circulation (13%) and program attendance (20%). It cannot expand it's collections in any meaningful way due to spacelimitations. The Library cannot keep up with public demand for programming and for community meeting space and is hamperedin effectively deploying new technology due, in part, to the age and infrastructure of the building. Population estimates projectSpringfield's population to grow to over 80,000 people in the next 20 years increasing the difficulty in providing services in a substandardfacility. In addition, a new Library building can help in the City's efforts at revitalizing the downtown core by attractingtens of thousands of people to the area through its services and programs and by serving as a community gathering place.Project Driver: Growing demand for Library services; current facility cannot sustain current usage level nor can it addressprojected population growth into the future; ability for new Library to act as a positive factor in revitalizing downtown core.Project Trigger: Ability to provide library service from current facility declines to the point that both quality and quantity ofservice are impacted. Citizen feedback and staff reporting support Council action.Project Status: Deferred pending fundingSpecific Plans/Policies Related to this Project:Council Goals #4 - Maintain & Improve Infrastructure and Facilities and # 5 - Preserve Hometown Feel,Livability and Environmental Quality.EXPENDITURE SCHEDULE ($000s)Project Element Total Thru 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Beyond 2016Planning $ -Engineering $ 5,0002500 $ 2,500Land/Right of Way $ 4,0002000 $ 2,000Construction $ 33,60016800 $ 16,800Other $ 8,0004000 $ 4,000Total $ 50,600 $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 25,300 $ 25,300 $ -OPERATIONAL IMPACT ($000s)Project Element Total Thru 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Beyond 2016Maintenance Costs $ 18$ 6 $ 66Personnel Costs $ 240$ 80 $ 8080Total $ 258 $ - $ - $ - $ - $ 86 $ 86 $ 86FUNDING SOURCE ($000s)Source Fund # Total Thru 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Beyond 2016Special Assmt. $ -AFG Grant 420 $ -SDCs.
