Jim called the meeting to order at 9:15. The minutes of the last meeting were approved.

Jim talked about his report to the Council Meeting on Monday, September 9^th. The Council was very supportive of the progress that the Task Force has made and passed a motion to accept the $10,000 grant from OECDD if awarded and supplement the grant with an additional $10,000 from the library contingency fund.

The principal items of business were the Site and Structure Subcommittee reports.

Jack Townes (Site Subcommittee) presented detailed information on seven available sites in Estacada. There was a lengthy discussion, but no decision was reached on eliminating any prospects. Jim called for a meeting later in the week to continue the discussion. Meanwhile he charged all members of the Task Force to walk the sites and prioritize in their minds where the library should be sited. He asked them to consider how the different sites would

1. Impact the fulfillment of library services the way it was defined in the second meeting and

2. Enhance the community

Gary Warkentin (Structural Subcommittee) reported that Dave Piper attended a seminar sponsored by the American Council of Engineering Companies of Oregon on the subject of Qualification Based Selection Process (QBS). He passed out Dave’s detailed summary of that seminar. He also presented several architect’s replies to a preliminary cost estimate query.

The next meeting will be on September 26th at 8:30am in the Community Center Conference Room. The meeting was adjourned at 11:40.
