Transmitting returns and counting absentee ballots of the General Election

William Muller - 547, Louis Rotundo - 565, Neil Asting - 584, Dan Oliver - 499,
James Inman - 501, and David Mitchum - 581. City Clerk Martinez agreed her

James Inman - 680, and David Mitchum - 981. City Clerk Martinez agreed her
totals were the same. Deputy City Clerk Wadsworth certified that 63 absentee
ballots came in before 7:00 last night, but she has not checked for discrepancies
yet. City Attorney Alvarez arrived at this time, 4:04 P.M. Mayor Baugh called
a short recess at 4:05 P.M. to await the arrival of the architect, who was in
City Hall. During the recess, Deputy City Clerk Wadsworth checked and opened
the ballots. Mr. Smith arrived at 4:07 P.M.
Mayor Baugh called the recessed meeting back to order at 4:09 P.M.
Architect's preliminary plans to be submitted for grant for new Library-
Mr. Dana Smith, Gerken, Upham, Smith Architects, Ormond Beach, said the
Library Committee meeting was held Monday night and they went over the drawings
and it was approved by them with minor modifications that can be taken care
of at a later date. He pointed out the building is 10,000 square feet for
the Library and satisfies most of the criteria laid out for them.
Councilman Asting pointed out that when they discussed this before, they
had said they'd expand it by going up and he wondered if it's still planned.
Mr. Smith replied that subsequent to the last conversation, they went to a
library planning seminar and discussed it with other library people, and
there's plenty of room on the site to expand horizontally. He added that
they'll get twice as much stack space as now and it should take them to the
year 2015 or 2020. Councilman Asting asked if this will effect the cost of
construction by not going up with the building and Mr. Smith replied certainly,
but not very much.
Mr. Smith then reviewed the three sheets of sketches, pointing out the reasons
for the position on the property, entry on Banyan, and then showing the
various rooms and areas in the interior of the building. He noted that
the multi-purpose room will seat about 150 people and is 1,500 square feet.
He further reviewed the uses for the different areas. Mayor Baugh asked what
modifications they did and Mrs. Harmon reviewed the minor changes she'd
suggested and the reasons for the requests. Mr. Smith noted that there will
probably be more minor changes as they go along and start to place furniture
and equipment, but he doesn't think there will be much after this point.

Architect's preliminary plans to be submitted for grant for new Library
(Continued) -
Mr. Smith further reviewed the equipment areas. He pointed out that the
mechanical equipment will not be on the roof, as it's easier to maintain
and service. He noted they have double doors from the corridor to bring
in large items to the multi-purpose space. He also pointed out that the
circulation desk is placed so one person can have visual control of every-
thing, and the office has a conference space, desk and table, and it has
visual contact also. There was a discussion about the glass or blinds to
be used for this area in regard to safety and privacy.
Mr. Smith noted that on the south and east walls of the building they show
a porch or sunshade and people could sit there on nice days and read.
He then reviewed the elevation on the third sheet. He pointed out that
stack areas normally have a 12 foot ceiling but the other areas don't need
to be that high.
Mr. Smith stated that it's a flat roof and they're using a single ply
membrane system. He said they've done several of these and they don't
foresee any problems with this. He pointed out that on the side of the
entry and at the end, they're planning a trellis and greenery, or roses or
shrubs. He noted that they'll use a metal roof on the porch area, which
comes in colors. He pointed out that if they expand the roof, this can
be taken apart and moved away and then put back after it's added onto.
Councilman Prater asked if it will be a single sheet of aluminum or with
styrofoam and Mr. Smith replied it will be a single sheet over ply or
firring strip because they don't need the insulation. Councilman Prater
noted that he was thinking of reflecting the heat. Mr. Smith said the
color used should reflect it.
Mr. Smith advised that the windows are all fixed glass because of the
humidity in the area being detrimental to books. He said the columns
outside are poured in place concrete or precast and it will depend on the
budget. He noted that on the northeast elevation there's a blank wall
that will probably be moved out later on. He said they don't have windows
in the multi-purpose space because of films being shown.
Mr. Smith stated this was approved by the committee, and he asked for any
comments or additions. Mayor Baugh said he thinks it's beautiful.
City Clerk Martinez asked if they need to vacate Alamanda and Mr. Smith
replied that he thinks it will be a good idea. There was a brief dis-
cussion about the other half of the property if it were vacated and where
the setback line is, and the location of the water and sewer hookup.
City Attorney Alvarez said he needs to look at the original plat and the
dedication.
Mayor Baugh requested a motion to accept this and allow them to send it
on for the grant. Councilman Asting so moved. Councilman Prater seconded
the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
Transmitting returns and counting absentee ballots of the General Election
held November 4, 1986 -
Deputy City Clerk Wadsworth stated she pulled out 11 ballots that she had
questions on and she passed around five for the Council to review. She
said five are not checked for the reasons for voting absentee, and three
went out of town and two were here. Councilman Asting moved to accept
them. Councilman Rotundo seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
Deputy City Clerk Wadsworth stated she has one filled out and signed from
a man on Flagler but he didn't fill in the entire top part. Councilman
Rotundo asked what the top part of it is and Deputy City Clerk Wadsworth
replied it's where they say they're qualified voters and why they're asking
to vote absentee. She then said she had one that wrote "U.S. Navy Voting
Officer", and two were signed but not witnessed, and two were witnessed
but not signed. Mayor Baugh suggested they accept them all and open them,
and he requested a motion to accept the 11. Councilman Prater so moved.
Councilman Rotundo seconded the motion. Motion CARRIED 5-0.
