2. Action Items:
A. Review and Identify Area for Maker Space — Henricks reported that
staff had identified two additional spaces which may work well as
options for the Maker Space location. The spaces were described as
7(A) Second Floor New Non Fiction and 7(B) Second Floor Internet
Computers. The pros and cons of the new locations were discussed.
The Board agreed to consider the newly suggested spaces as one of
the top two locations for the architect to provide conceptual drawings
and costs estimates. Location 6 will remain as one of the locations for
consideration along with the newly identified spaces. The Board
suggested that the architect choose either 7(A) or 7(6) based on what
they believe to be the better of the two.
"Moved to direct Henricks to present location 6 and either location
7(A) or 7(B) to the architects for possible placement of the Maker
Space Lab space."
