3. NEW BUSINESS:
A. Library Board Recommendation for a New Library Director:
Mayor introduces the issue.
Victor Ramirez, Library Board, We received 35-40 resumes for the position. We had one
primary limitation and that was the person had to have a MLS or Advanced Library
Science Degree in addition to experience as a director. We interviewed ten individuals
on the telephone. We narrowed the selection down to three and conducted final
interviews. We found a very attractive candidate named Ron Baker. Ron has two Master
Degrees, one in Library Science and the other in Historical Resource Management. He
has been a director for the last 8 years. General discussion.
4. UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
A. New City Hall fundinf! options.
Mayor introduces the issue.
City Attorney Buxton: Distributes a sample election ballot. Discussion on General
Obligation Bond Election.
Bud Way, Wells Fargo, of the two options both would require an election with a 2/3 vote
in favor. We are willing to go ahead with the lease agreement and finance the city hall
through a lease purchase agreement. I would contact Orix to see if they still want to
proceed. We are very comfortable to finance the city hall through a lease purchase
option. General Obligation Bonds are more attractive to the lending community
General discussion between the Mayor, City Council, City Attorney's Buxton and Moore
and Bud way in reference to the financing options for the new city hall.
Nordstrom moves to go forward with the idea of promoting a bond election for the
purpose of building a new city hall and to propose a bond with the levy rate figured
out based on the capital costs and that we make a caveat that it is the intent of the
City not to call for the levy collection unless it is absolutely necessary for the safe
and normal prudent of the City and we try to develop the background and facts in
preparation for the Open House on the city hall discussion with the citizens of Eagle
