PRESENTATIONS
DISCUSSION ITEMS
Grace Morrison reported on the interiors meeting. Grace felt that the architects had not
listened to the staff because the wall in the children's area was purple dry wall which
would not be good for hanging art work. They also had the story time room with a clay
wall. The Teen Area was not in bright colors as the staff had requested. Grace felt that it
was an unusual meeting because the architects did not seem to be listening. They are
looking at taking the clay from the interior of the story time room. The divider between
the children's area needs to be a different texture. They had bluebonnet-type paper for a
wall covering. They also had carpet in blue and green that look like bluebonnets for the
City Hall area. They are still in the decision making stage. Jim Griffin said that they put
a lot of orange in the Frisco building and did not really want orange in our buildings. Jim
said that we need to make sure that the colors do not go out of style.

The highlighted sections are the ones that the City attorney will check. Shirley
questioned: "No sale of goods or services." We might want to re-word the membership
dues because non-profits charge membership dues. It was also felt that the "Library
property stored in the meeting rooms shall not be removed or transferred to other areas."
was too limiting. In past times, items had to be moved for more space. Eric LeJeune
suggested that items could be moved with a clause, "with prior approval." Or "Any
property moved must be coordinated with the public services staff."
