Planning Director Lynn Harris stated the Planning Deparhnent had received an
application for errvircrunental clearance to allow the proposed expansion of
the El Segundo Public Library. The additional floor area would provide
relief from overloading and overcrowding of the existing library by
establishing 94 to 194 additional public seats, increase staff stations from
19 to 24, and increase book capacity to over 100,000 volumes. Ms. Harris
stated the imposition of mitigation measures and Planning Commission
recomnerdations will increase anticipated project costs due to staff time,
installation of irpravenents such as additional parking spaces and
landscaping, and potential acquisition of property. Director Harris
concluded by stating the Planning Cc mission reccamE elation was to adapt the
resolution Certifying a Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact for
Mwiru mvntal Acaetoo„t EA -161, and approving the Library Expansion.
Councilman West expressed concern regarding g the use of "investigate" with
regatta to the purchase of the Main Street/Mariposa Avenue lot from the
school district.
Director of Planning, Lynn Harris stated the use of this wording comes as a
result of the Planning Commission's lack of budget authority in the City.
The cmmi scion could not make a capital decision for the City Council and
therefore suggested the "investigation" of the purchase.
City Manager Sorsabal stated an appraisal is underway on the property in
question although the City budget could not afford the n,rcbase and or lease
of this property at this time, the Council could consider the appropriation
of other monies at a later date. Manager Sorsabal also stated the El Segundo
District might be amenable to a long -terns lease or the possibility of a
property trade.
1. Dora Folk, 111 W. Palm requested this matter of the library expansion be
deferred until the parking problems are solved.
2. Patti Pavnter, 920 Dame asked Council if the plans for the library had
been significantly changed-
Director of Barbara Kirby stated the plans have been cYanrged to meet the
direction of Council. Director Kirby stated the plans have not significantly
been changed.
City Manager Sorsabal stated that a good parking management must be
instituted to alleviate the parking problems that currently exist with the
expansion. If the Council does not adept the mitigations as presented; the
City will have to delay the sale of the Certificates of Participation.
3. Shirley Parker, 129 W. Palm was against the library expansion.
4. Marlene Butterworth, 206 W. was in favor of the library
expansion.
5. Demis Martin 722 Indiana prat was in favor of the expansion.

the potential commercial establishment on the corner of Mariposa and Main
Street were expressed by Mayor Pro Tan Darman. Mayor Pro Ten Dannen

City Manager Sorsabal stated the bonds could not be sold until an EIR was
