Walker set the expectation that the City of Eagle's ability to fund
any growth will be limited for the next 3 - 5 years. At that time new
businesses associated with completion of the highway bypass projects .
will create new revenues for Eagle. As a result the Library Board
was asked to provide a realistic worst case plan to cover the next
3.- 5 years and compare that against libraries of similar size around
Idaho.
