Library expansion talks continue slow progress

by Tod Strachan

Progress is slow, but the system is working toward a fall referen- dum on the library expansion. In

' Jate June, Terrace city council and

Kitimat-Stikine Regional District board representatives met. Regional district directors Les Watmough and Sandy Sandhals agreed that the cost-sharing for- mula on the library should be revised, the suggestion being that rural library users should be pay- ing a little more to bring their share of the costs into line.

Last week the architectural firm of Soutar and Associates were selected to draw up plans for the

library expansion, Soutar was the architect on.the original plans for the expansion, drawn up in 1988, but the library board feels a new plan is required to adjust for the change in demand over the past three years.

According to the city’s minutes of-a June 26 meeting with the board, it has been agreed that "the library board should commence fund raising activities to reach the goal of $150,000." This is onc commitment,- but not all library board members feel is realistic and the topic will be discussed further

‘at a board mecting.

The $150,000 raised locally is a little over 10 percent of the total

project cost, requiring a slight raise in local taxes over the term of debt repayment. If the board can raise between $50,000 and $100,000 — which trustee Willy Schneider

feels is much more realistic — the -

board is still making a personal commitment to the success of the project.

Also new is the fact that the city has agreed to endorse an updated

GO B.C. grant application to cover

"one-third of the expansion cost. A Go B.C. application filed by the

board about two years ago got shelved in Victoria when the city also submitted a Go B.C. applica- tion for funding a community- convention centre.
