MEETING PURPOSE
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss options for a new
Library.
Chairwoman Haughwout welcomed everybody and stated this was
the biggest turnout they have ever had for a Library Board
meeting.
Q
Chairwoman Haughwout stated Edgewater is growing and our
current facility needs to be expanded. She spoke of
numerous properties that are currently for sale that she
searched out to see if they would satisfy our needs. She
met with Gayle Harmon, who was our librarian and she has a
lot of knowledge of what has happened previously. She also
talked to JoAnne Sikes on the telephone. She was trying to
get a lot of things, including a lot of information so they
could be better prepared for the meeting. She talked to
both of them about the building program for our current
Library. She also spoke with Mike Knievel, who stated the

u
Edgewater Library has the best location of any in the
County. That is something they are really proud of. Mr.
Knievel sent them a population study to acquaint them with
numbers that are needed to determine the size of the
building that they would need. At Ms: Harmon's suggestion,
that is how they should get started. She thought this was
a good idea. It was suggested they have about 2/3 of a
square foot of building for each person based on the
population. We are currently lacking 4,000 square feet by
that formula. This means that in the very near future they
will have to curtail public meetings at this Library. They
need to think about that and decide how they are going to
rectify that. This is not going to be received well by the
public who use the building on a regular basis.
Q
Chairwoman Haughwout stated in the past week there is a new
situation that was brought to her attention in reference to
the expansion of the Library. The property across the
street is available for sale, which is Jeanette Dudley's
old house. She also pointed out another property that
could possibly be for sale. If they could acquire this
property, they would have the whole block and Banyan Tree
Drive could be vacated. This is an excellent plan but they
need money. She spoke with City Manager Jon Williams and
told him what their situation was. They have just had an
election and the City is trying to save money so the people
don't have high taxes. Now they are down to City Hall
asking for money to make a deposit so the City can buy this
property so they can use it for the Library. We may have a
problem building because the people voted to pass the 35-
foot height, which was not a good thing for commercial
property and investment property. Some people didn't
understand what they were voting for and some did but it
passed. There are three lawsuits right now and the City
has some problems. She didn't know where they stood on
this. They need to get that property and they need to find
a way to buy that property. These people are very eager to
sell their property to the Library but how long are they
going to wait.
Q
Ms. McCormack stated direction wise the City Manager
suggested that the first move would be to. Chairwoman
Haughwout replied get this on the agenda. In other words,
what they need to do is request to be on the agenda for the
next meeting and they will definitely need time to do due
diligence to find out about the property. She didn't know
what they wanted for the property. One said make an offer
Page 2 of 12
Special Meeting

o
but they have to see the property first. The first step is
to get on the City Council agenda. She urged each one of
the members of the Board to speak to the Council and
convince them that this is what they need to do.
Ms. McDevitt asked how important it is to look at the
property since they don't care about the house anyway. It
is the land use they want. Chairwoman Haughwout stated
they aren't going to pay for land only. They need to see
what it looks like. The Dudley property or the Tomazin
property is not as in good condition as the other. It
needs a lot of work. If the City buys it, they won't have
to do a lot of work and prepare it for a new buyer. Theirs
is an eighty-foot lot. The other property is 125' plus you
have that other piece in there. To her this is a dream.
Q
Ms. McDevitt mentioned the building having a second story.
Chairwoman Haughwout stated she didn't know that yet. They
don't know if they could go up. Ms. McCormack stated the
architect's challenge would be to look at the lot and
figure out what to do. They don't even have to think about
that at this point in time. It would almost double the
property that we are on. It would be adequate for
expansion but the expansion would be limited according to
how much parking you would need and so on. Ms. Williams
asked if it would still remain City-owned. Chairwoman
Haughwout informed her yes. The City would own the
property and the County would maintain it. Ms. McCormack
confirmed the County, would staff it, furnish it and
maintain it.
Chairwoman Haughwout stated this is not something you have
to go the building program immediately. The idea is just
to acquire this property. They aren't talking about a lot
of money. If someone can put a deposit down and hold the
mortgage or the owners could hold the mortgage or an
investor could hold the mortgage. There are a lot of ways
they could work it out they just need a commitment form the
City for ex-amount of dollars.
Ms. McCormack confirmed the first step would be drafting a
letter asking to be put on the agenda. Chairwoman
Haughwout stated to her that is what they are here for
today to do that if everyone agrees that is what they need
to do.
Q

Special Meeting
November 14,2006
o
Ms. Gilmore stated without the Council's approval, they
couldn't do anything. Chairwoman Haughwout again
encouraged the Board members to talk to the Council.
Ms. Williams commented on the Council being pro-library.
Ms. Harmon stated they are generally pro-library. She
would think if they talk to the Council, make them aware of
what valuable that property is to the City. It would be
foolish to let that property get away from the City.
Ms. Williams asked what sort of money they are talking
about. Chairwoman Haughwout stated they are three-bedroom,
two-bath houses. She hasn't seen them. All she did was
get the square footage, the year it was built. One was
built in 1961 and one was built in 1978. She has a three-
bedroom, two bath house right now for sale, listed for
$174,900, and it hasn't sold and it is in excellent
condition.
o
Ms. Gilmore asked what the assessed value is. Chairwoman
Haughwout informed her that doesn't always matter. Ms.
Gilmore questioned adding 10% more. Chairwoman Haughwout
stated she just sold a house for a lot less than the
assessed value. She just sold a house and it was assessed
for a lot more than it sold for and the appraisal came in
very low. The Dudley house is assessed for $145,000 and
the land value is worth $59,000. That house sold because
Mrs. Dudley died and the daughter inherited it so the
values went up on that which it wouldn't have if Mrs.
Dudley still owned it. The just value is $159,155 and the
assessed value is $145,000. The other house with the three
lots, the just value is $171,412 and the assessed value is
$74,989.
Chairwoman Haughwout showed the information she got from
the tax rolls.
Ms. McCormack pointed out that Ms. Goodrich had just
arrived and she already had a task of drafting a letter.
Chairwoman Haughwout updated Ms. Goodrich and Mr. Knievel
where they were due to both just arriving.
'->
Ms. Goodrich asked how much the properties were for sale
for. Chairwoman Haughwout informed her there was no price.
The Dudley's said make an offer and the other person she
wasn't sure on. She was going to contact them after the

not something they can linger on. When people want
sell, they want to sell as soon as possible.
It's
to
Ms. McCormack informed Ms. Goodrich the letter is asking
the City Council to put them on the agenda as soon as
possible so that it can be discussed.
Chairwoman Haughwout stated it is better than looking for
other pieces of property, which she was not successful
with.
Ms. Goodrich asked if they would be asking for a
spokesperson to speak about it. Chairwoman Haughwout
stated they just need to have the Library Board placed on
the agenda and then anyone can speak. She urged Ms.
Goodrich to speak to the Councilpeople because they are the
ones that are going to vote on it. Any information they
can get to them, they need to and see how they feel about
it.
Q
Ms. McCormack went over the information she had provided to
the Board members including the City Council contact
information; the history of the existing Library with
regard to when it was built, the square footage and the
staff; the map from the Property Appraisers website; and
the 2006 Annual Statistical Report. (Attached)
Ms. Mackie asked if there was a comparison with what was
paid for the home where the parking lot sits now.
Chairwoman Haughwout informed her she would have to look
that up. She asked how many years ago that was. Ms.
McCormack stated that was a good question. It wasn't that
long ago, maybe four years ago.
Ms. McDevitt stated she was happy that the consensus was
that they like this location. She really thinks it is good
for the City and feels it is a wonderful area to meet the
needs of their library people. She would hate to see the
Library moved somewhere where it is less accessible. This
would be the absolute best place for the Library and for
the expansion to happen. Chairwoman Haughwout stated
everyone seems to feel the same way about that.
Q
Ms. Sikes stated this was built as a community library.
They did not go for any regional whatever. This was built
with the consensus that it would be accessible to the
Page 5 of 12
Special Meeting
November 14,2006
Q
people. This is what has made this Library so useable
because of the accessibility. The children and the youth
are using this building constantly. This was the reason it
was built here and the reason this lot was chosen.
Mr. Knievel stated Chairwoman Haughwout had asked him to
pullout of their files some of the relevant research. Ms.
McCormack informed her of the handouts provided by Mr.
Knievel. He went over the Library space needs and the
population projections of the New Smyrna Beach Region, New
Smyrna Beach, Edgewater and Oak Hill. (Attached)
Mr. Knievel pointed out the County's Comprehensive Planning
Standard for constructing libraries is .39 square feet per
capita. That is applied to a region. The County has never
applied that, as far as he knows to a community. They
always apply it to a region.
Mr. Knievel then commented on from the year 2025 on, based
on the high estimate of population growth, they are going
to run a deficit.
o
Ms. McCormack asked if they were taking into account the
dramatic population explosion that Edgewater is
anticipating in the very near future, over the next few
years. Mr. Knievel stated they use the University of
Florida's population projections, which are evaluated,
changed and modified on an annual basis. They do a much
more elaborate or comprehensive update every five years.
They are watching population growth. They don't use just
the University of Florida. They also use the County's own
Growth and Resource Management Department, their Planning
Division as well as Chambers of Commerce.
Ms. Harmon stated since this is a region, if New Smyrna and
Oak Hill did not grow at the same rate as Edgewater, then
is it going to skew Edgewater upward in comparison. Mr.
Knievel went over the 2020 Potential Population handout.
(Attached)
Mr. Knievel commented on if the County planned libraries on
a local basis, not on a regional basis, and used the same
.39 square feet per capita.
u
Mr. Knievel commented on there being flexibility in public
demand. There is some disagreement, even amongst
professional librarians and researchers as to the .39
Page 6 of 12
Special Meeting
November 14,2006
u
square feet per capital. They are prevailing square
footage" per capita that is recommended by the American
Library Association and is in fact recognized by some
states at .6 square feet per capita. There are even some
that are doing .75 but that is pretty high standards. The
.39 is coincidentally the statewide average Florida has.
o
Ms. McCormack commented on the luncheon the Library Board
had in April, which motivated the group to begin looking at
property. She mentioned an announcement being made that in
four or five years they would begin looking for a site to
build a new library in Edgewater. At the next meeting, the
folks on the board agreed that to wait that long would put
the Library in a position of building on the far outskirts
of the core of the community. What is driving the group
today is knowing that construction may well be five years
from now, the attempt to lock in the best location possible
for this community, which is here. They are being pro-
active in trying to secure the best scenario for the
eventual expansion or replacement of this facility. She
would definitely say the need is here but of course our
folks will put up with many years of squeezing in. They do
the very best they can in arranging the collection
regardless of how tight it is so they will be happy with
what they are provided. Eventually, they will have to
expand.
Mr. Knievel stated it does seem prudent to take the actions
they are considering today given the fact that it is likely
to be our successors who are dealing with the hot issue
sometime in the future. They will remember them fondly for
the actions taken today in setting aside assets, resources,
options, flexibility because it is difficult to do a
construction project or even just operate day-to-day.
Anything you can do today to secure the resources or have
an option on those future resources, he feels would serve
them or their successors quite well.
u
Chairwoman Haughwout asked Mr. Knievel his intent and what
he was thinking of when he made the statement at the
luncheon. Mr. Knievel stated at the point in time the
County's tax rate was generating funds sufficient to build
out Deltona and the expansion of Port Orange immediately
after that. After those two expansions, they were looking
at the Chart to see who was next, maybe Holly Hill and
Edgewater. Since Council and taxpayer interest groups that
were persuasive produced a result of a rolled back tax
Page 7 of 12
Special Meeting
November 14, 2006
u
rate, it is generating $4 million less in Library funding
annually. What looked like a great way to sail into the
future now is a little bit more modest and reserved. That
is what has changed. He also commented on construction
costs soaring and are now leveling off and they are even
seeing signs of them coming back down again selectively.
Ms. Harmon stated in that, this is an excellent location.
Mr. Knievel stated he has always said out of all our
libraries the one that is the most perfectly located
relative to the population density, the center of
population and the traffic patterns, is Edgewater.
o
Ms. Harmon stated since they aren't doing this right away,
and there will be other elections and other budgets and
economics change, she didn't see how it weighed that
heavily in the decision of trying to acquire adjacent
property. Mr. Knievel stated if they could put together a
persuasive case for acquisition and approach the City and
they could get the City or try whatever partners they can
to enter the notion favorably, it may be even that they
take whatever gap remains and go to the County and see if
the County management and Council would entertain a sliver
of that deal.
Ms. Sikes stated they need to jump on, without any
hesitation, going to the Councils', approaching them with
what is available, what could be the future and if they let
this go by they have lost and Edgewater has lost so much in
the past. They have let things go and this has been a
habit. Mr. Knievel stated it would be an opportunity
missed but he knows there were similar opportunities
elsewhere in the County and he has lived to regret some of
those missed opportunities. However, to say they won't
even come around again he is still willing to bet there
will be other opportunities in Edgewater. They may not be
as sweet but there are future opportunities. They may not
be as optimal as this one seems to be and he agreed this
one is a very good, if not optimal for the City. He stated
the County is the tenant, the City owns. They are in
partnership with the City.
u
Ms. Williams felt under the circumstances that put the
Board in a very good position. The County is in no
position to pay anyone. She also mentioned the City being
so involved. She feels it doesn't really affect the County
at this stage.

u
Ms. McDevitt stated as President of the Friends of the
Library, which is the fundraising part and which did so
much for raising funds for matching grants and moneys that
helped build the current building, if they have four or
five years to grow some money, then they don't have to go
to the town and say we want to build a library, write a
check. That isn't going to happen and they know that. If
they can have the lead-time to be building some money and
growing and ready for the eventuality, then she feels they
should be pro-active if this is going to happen and this is
what they want to happen.
Ms. McCormack stated that is how this building was
constructed. The local money was raised first and then the
grants were applied for and $200,000 worth of people
putting money in the penny jar on the counter and when they
finally had enough, this building was able to be built.
They all know they aren't going to raise $500,000 in a
couple of years. This is step one of a very long-range
plan.
Mr. Knievel stated in approaching the city it is also
advisable to share with them some idea that it is an
investment in desirable real estate irrespective of what
use it ultimately becomes. It wouldn't be the first time
and it certainly won't be the last where cities and
counties have invested in real estate only to find that it
got assigned a purpose other than what was the original
intent. He couldn't believe, even just at a raw
fundamental level, that this wouldn't be a good investment.
He felt telling the Council it is for the Library adds
value but he still maintained from a fundamental level it
is a good investment.
Ms. McDevitt stated just based on the fact that the City
owns this land, for whatever reason, if the Library did
move in thirty years, if they had the tabulation ship, then
they still have this land and that area to make it more
valuable.
Chairwoman Haughwout felt if they didn't do it they would
be sorry later.
Ms. Sikes stated the City years ago had the opportunity to
buy from u.S. #1 on Park Avenue all the way down to
Riverside Drive. That could have been a main street. She
Page 9 of 12
Special Meeting
November 14,2006
Q
has seen Edgewater make wrong decisions. We had an
opportunity to buy 35 acres right in downtown but we didn't
need it. The City didn't want to be across the street from
the No Name Saloon.
Mr. Knievel commented on Debary and a developer offering
highway front property and after some reconsideration they
said thank you but no thanks and that they would take the
back acreage. He mentioned being asked why they would take
a secondary spot when they could have had prime real
estate. For tax paying property, you want to do highest
and best use. For tax supported property you might want to
put that on property that is cheaper and doesn't generate
as much tax revenue. In DeBary's case they took the back
two acres as a final thank you to the developer for
donating the one-acre and they bought the other one for a
discount. The front acre is still commercially zoned and
he still thinks that is a principle that again most cities
would want to at least consider. You don't want the public
entities chewing up your prime real estate. That is a
tough way to burden the taxpayers with high taxes so you
have to be careful with some of that stuff.
o
Ms. McDevitt asked for clarification. When they go to the
City and say they have been advised by the County that
there is going to be a need for expanded space for the
Edgewater Library, the first figure they heard in April was
five years, which is why they geared up. She asked if Mr.
Knievel was telling them now that the County is going to
say we don't really need it until 2020 and if he was saying
it wasn't necessary until fourteen years from now or where
is the County going to come in and back up what they heard
in April.
'-J
Mr. Knievel pointed out those documents he handed out were
for planning and budgeting purposes only. They commit no
one, including the County, to anything. In order for staff
and elected officials to prepare for some likely scenario,
they do run those numbers and they do try to get accurate
data to their bosses and they try to share that with cities
and towns so that whatever collaborative efforts can be pit
together can be done so in a reasonable sense. Obviously
those planning and budgeting documents are subject to
change. Cities can go ahead and affect opportunities and
projects even without the County as a partner, such as this
building. It was a City project. He wasn't sure their
best foot forward would be starting with the county. He
Page 10 of 12
Special Meeting
November 14,2006
Q
encouraged the Library Board to use as a basis of their
argument or persuasion to the City, the ones they formed
themselves, and just on the basis of what they had done
before he got there. If in the question and answer period,
this stuff has any value, he would us it for whatever
purpose they find to add value. He feels their strongest
case is local. The County is here to help but if they can
make the case locally, the local elected officials would
prefer that. He feels this is reasonable.
o
Ms. McDevitt stated they aren't anticipating in five years
the County is going to come and say Edgewater needs a new
library. Ms. McCormack stated they don't need to use that
as the basis for their argument. Their basis is the people
that come in and out of there, the services they provide,
the need they express by walking through the door, the
opportunity for the property coming up, knowing that the
building was built in 1988, and that they would anticipate
growth as the community grows. Especially with the
expansion to the west of 1-95 that they know is coming. We
are growing at a faster rate than they were five years ago.
She doesn't think the City would disagree at all that the
need is going to be here. They just need to put forward to
them that if there is any way possible for them to secure
the property when the time comes it will be there and they
will still have a piece of property. The lower economic
sectors of this community, the u.S. #1 corridor, the older
parts of Florida Shores that are right around them nearby
and to the north of that, still close enough for people to
get to on foot, by bicycle. We are a safe location for
children to come after school because they are so visible
and prominent. She feels many people come there because
they are right next to the grocery store and CVS. She
feels they will see the value in their being so visible, so
accessible that for whatever use if they were a Library or
another City facility, this is a fabulous location and if
they can get the two adjacent properties it just adds to
the flexibility and potential, not just for the Library but
for the City property itself. She didn't think they needed
to say the County feels like they need a new building. The
community will feed that. It doesn't have to be a
prediction, they will get to the point where they know they
have to have it. Having four or five years to put together
the kind of local financing that may be necessary would be
wonderful. If they are going to talk about a whole other
piece of property, that is a different ballpark. She feels
they will see it the same way they do.

Q
o
They have always been very supportive of them and they
consider this Edgewater's Library.
Ms. Mackie asked if they wanted to donate the property.
Ms. McCormack stated she didn't think they wanted to give
it to them but they are not putting up for sale signs until
they hear something about what the intention of the board
is. If they may be getting an offer from the City, they
will wait.
Ms. Sikes felt the meeting with the City needed to present
their needs. This is what it is all about.
Ms. McCormack stated the main thing today is getting the
letter drafted to get them on the agenda as early as
possible before the for sale signs go up on those
properties. Councilwoman Haughwout stated and speak to the
Council ahead of time and let the know all of the
information they have gotten from the meeting.
Ms. Mackie made a motion to send a letter to the Council
requesting to be placed on the agenda, second by Ms.
Gilmore.
The MOTION CARRIED 7 - 0 .
Ms. McCormack emphasized that the City Manager said it is
very important to contact each one of the Councilmembers.
