Staff Contacts: Lee Keesler, Chief Executive Officer for Charlotte Mecklenburg Library; Sarah Lyberg, Finance Director
Presentation: No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
1) This action would fund the outfitting for a replacement for the Scaleybark Branch. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Library currently leases 5,500 Square Feet at 101 Scaleybark Road. The current lease has a 6-month advance notice termination clause for either party. The Library has pursued a new lease location out of a concern that development pressure on the current lease site could result in a termination without time to relocate. A new lease was negotiated for the 18,850 SF building located at 4429 South Blvd. The lease covers costs for a typical office upfit, but does not include capital costs for all of the critical needs of a library, including technology. Additional funding of $1,707,000 is needed for additional electrical, telecommunications, A/V equipment, furniture and fixtures.
2) This action would provide additional funding of $185,000 for the North County Library Renovation and will bridge a funding gap caused by unforeseen conditions, allowing the current construction project to continue as designed.
