Klassen, City Clerk EM Ella Manor, Library Committee Member JB Joan Beasley, Library Committee Member LC Lois Cardona, Library Committee Member ES Eileen Strain, Library Volunteer Coordinator LK Okay, you're on stage. SP Thank you. My name is Sergio Pena with the County of Riverside Economic Development Agency. Thank you once again for having me. 2 APPROVED MINUTES ADJOURNED PALM DESERT LIBRARY PROMOTION COMMITTEE MEETING OCTOBER 5, 2011 I'm going to hand out a brief update .... (there you go, there you go ... well, if I could have one of those) ... so what we're passing around is just a snapshot of the key dates in front of us and behind us. The last time when I was here, we spoke about when the County Board of Supervisors allowed us to let the contract for bidding, who the bidders were, who the potential low bidder was, the fact that we were still on budget with the bid results ... we were in the process of letting the contract for... furniture contract, and then also, we were going to look into getting a contract for moving, providing repainting and recarpeting for the College side of the Library, and then finding a redistribution of the furnishings that we aren't able to reuse at the City of Palm Desert Library. So, what's happened since then? We've submitted to DSA on June 29t". They started their review of our drawings August 11 and 15 respectively. They completed their review early September and late August. Our design team took about two to three weeks to do the revisions. They are actually in the process of finishing those up. They're supposed to be completed this week, the end of this week. Copies will be made. The project team will be reviewing all the corrections that were made on those drawings to see what the difference in the changes from what the bid documents were to see if the contractor will ask for an add fee for any potential changes. And so, we're still kind of in a state of flux when it comes to the DSA approval. We don't have DSA's approval just yet. What we do have is a construction contract that was approved on September 13th. We do have a furnishings order that has been placed. It's Tangram... there's an office out of Riverside that took the order, and it's scheduled to be delivered in early February. There are a lot of long lead items in that furnishings contract, so we will have a lot of furniture ahead of time, but the ones with the longest lead items, those are expected early February delivery date. So, this all leads into, I think, a lot of the questions that I've been asked about, okay, when do we start construction, when do we close the Library, when do we inform the public? And I wrestled with that question for a long time, and I felt like maybe I'm not completely the right person to make that decision, even though I do collect a lot of the facts for you. So, I'd like to kind of put out a few things out on the table. We've given the architect direction to schedule a back check appointment ASAP, basically now, as soon as he's done. DSA has instructed us that we are to submit fire sprinkler drawings and fire alarm drawings three weeks prior to the back check appointment, so if you take those two facts together, we're basically saying maybe a month out is when we have our back check appointment. I think that's unreasonable. I personally know the fire life safety plan reviewer, so I'm hoping we can come to an arrangement where he can shorten that up. I believe he just wants some time to review the fire life 3 APPROVED MINUTES ADJOURNED PALM DESERT LIBRARY PROMOTION COMMITTEE MEETING OCTOBER 5, 2011 safety drawings, the fire sprinkler, and the fire alarm drawings. So we're going to see if we can't shorten that up. I don't have a ... yes, ma'am... LK Maybe you can introduce the young lady because somebody might not know her. SP Okay. DS I'll do it ... I'm Deborah Schwartz. I'm the Public Art Coordinator for the City, and the reason I'm in here is because we have artwork within the Library, several pieces, but there's a piece behind the Reference Desk that needs to be moved out front. As well, I run the Docent tours at the Library, and I'm trying to figure out whether or not we'll have our tour in November. LK Sorry about that. SP It's okay, thank you. My apologies. I believed when I walked in a little late that introductions were already done. So ... maybe three to four weeks, maybe, you know, around early November, late October, is when we should anticipate to get DSA approval. Now, to time ... I believe, in my opinion, to time the Library closure exactly to the DSA approval may be a little hard to do. So I think we should just make some assumptions that we're close enough to get DSA approval, that maybe giving ourselves some time to close the Library, package its contents ... the books that we want to take off -site and then bring back ... and give ourselves enough time, maybe ... and I have to confirm with the College, but I believe we don't need a construction permit to start demolition, so we can allow ourselves some time there as well. So, with those facts in mind, I'm kind of looking at a, you know, mid to third week of October, you know, of when we start to ramp down the Library and start getting ready to move. Jeannie? JK I'm ready. I have a pickup truck. We're ready whenever you're ready. SP Now, I just want to reiterate the fact that-1 don't think I'm the, you know, I don't think there's authority vested in me to say "you're supposed to close down the Library on this day." I just want to make sure that's clear. I think this group, along with LSSI and the County, act as, you know, an advisory group, and I really take the group's lead. JK And the County Librarian? 4 /_1»:Z91V/ 4 91 ►, I I k, 0111 *' ADJOURNED PALM DESERT LIBRARY PROMOTION COMMITTEE MEETING BB Who has the authority? OCTOBER 5, 2011 SP Well, I am your Project Manager for this project, so ... what I can say is can instruct the contractors to begin demolition on a certain day, knowing that there won't be occupants in the building. So....LSSI runs the Library. We can ... as of today, we're working with Sarah Monday (sp?) to administrate the Library and work with LSSI, so if we need some sort of authorization to do that, we believe ... so long as there is consensus with this group and from the City and LSSI, you know, whatever agreement we arrive at, we can, you know, get the necessary approvals to do that. But I just want to make sure that, you know, it's not misrepresented that that authority has been vested in me. RDK The City Council did authorize closure at whatever time... SP ...is necessary... RDK ...when the time is right, we'll leave it to the County Library System and LSSI, you know, based on your information, then you guys set the date, and we'll get out the appropriate notices. SP Let me ask you a question. What would be an appropriate noticing to the public that the Library will close? EM Two weeks. JK Minimum of two weeks. SP Minimum of two weeks? JK A lot of Library users, their books are due in two weeks, so they really want to know at least two weeks in advance when we're going to be closed, even government holidays or Federal holidays they want to know. SP Thank you. So we're at October 5th today. JK Were you talking six weeks, you think, for the back check and ... three weeks and three weeks, is that what you were saying, from now, roughly? SP One of the comments that was raised by DSA was for us to provide the hydrology calcs for the fire sprinkler drawings and to submit those three weeks prior to the back check appointment. APPROVED MINUTES ADJOURNED PALM DESERT LIBRARY PROMOTION COMMITTEE MEETING OCTOBER 5, 2011 JK Right. SP So, okay, today we're at the 5th, assume we complete the drawings on the 7th, and assume the architect calls or submits those drawings to DSA this Friday, so that means our back check appointment is no sooner than the 28th JK Right. SP And so, say the 28th they have a back check appointment, and they actually get them approved. JK Then does that mean they're good? S P Yes. JK I mean, if it's approved and the back check is successful, then they say fine and it's good and... SP Correct. We'll still have to submit for a building permit, but at that point, I mean, it's, the (unclear) drawings are approved. And from DSA's perspective, we've fulfilled the due diligence... JK Okay. SP ...necessary to get them approved. JK How long does it take to get a building permit? SP Well, from them, probably a couple of weeks. JK Okay. SP So, we're at the second week of November. JK Right. BB Do we have someone lined up to do the packing and moving of the materials? SP Not as of today, and that's definitely something that we're going to key in on here. As soon as we get a date established, I think I'll work toward that date. I apologize I don't have that today. 6 APPROVED MINUTES ADJOURNED PALM DESERT LIBRARY PROMOTION COMMITTEE MEETING OCTOBER 5, 2011 JK Were there other tests or things that we had to provide? SP Sure. JK And do those ... how long do those take? SP I can elaborate on that a little bit. So we get three large sets ... you guys have seen the large sets of drawings... they're about three feet by four feet ... so we get three of those sets, one from access, one for fire life safety, and one from the structural review, and the majority of the comments that designers have been able to tackle on their own. There's been a handful that they haven't, that they need participation from either the College, the County, or the Library itself. One of those comments is to supply hydrology report and the design documents, as-builts, for the fire sprinkler system. So, if we can't find those drawings, and we've searched through the State and through the College, and it looks like we're not going to find them, we'll need to provide some sort of certified report that DSA will accept, such as the City Fire Department, that acknowledges the design criteria for the Library and confirms that it has the necessary pressure for the fire sprinkler system to function. Okay, so that's one item. A secondary item is we have ... we're impacting the slab of the Library to a point where the structural is concerned, and they want us to verify at two column locations that the rebar is placed per plan, per the as -built drawings. So they want us to do a concrete strength test and a soil conditions observation by a geotechnical consultant. We've contracted to do both. I just got off the phone with Tiffany Hillborn over at Construction Testing & Engineering. I don't have a confirmation that those tests have already been performed or scheduled, so my apologies for that. The actual test is about four hours, and the report will take a couple of days. The last item is ... DSA wanted us to provide what is called a "certified A number." What that is, is a certification that the State has reviewed and approved a drawing set and construction, in particular the path of travel and the parking, the path of travel from the nearest bus stop to the entrance of the Library, that we comply with ADA, American Disabilities Act. We have talked with the College; we cannot find those drawings, either, so what we're going to do is we're going to bring a Civil Engineer out to confirm spot of elevations and slopes. Did that answer your questions, Jeannie? 7 APPROVED MINUTES ADJOURNED PALM DESERT LIBRARY PROMOTION COMMITTEE MEETING JK Deborah, when's your art tour? DS The second Saturday in November. OCTOBER 5, 2011 LK (unclear) plans and all this information, doesn't the State keep copies of all that? SP Yes, and we've made requests for those. In my experience, if you rely on the copies the State makes, you'll just lose more time, so we're going to ... we've made the request for drawings that we were not able to locate ourselves, and we are preparing, you know, confirming documents that at least answer the questions originally brought up by DSA. AB How long does it normally take to get those documents from the State (unclear)? SP We've already received them. We've made the request, the request was accepted, they located the drawings, they were copying the drawings last week. So we're supposed to already have the drawings that we've requested that we couldn't find ourselves. I haven't spoken with our architect to confirm that they contain the information we need. It's kind of a crap shoot, because you're asking someone over the phone who doesn't know what you're looking for. JB So do you project that some part of the process, the packing or something, can begin before the middle of November? SP Absolutely. I don't think we should wait until the middle of November. JB How long a period do they need to do the packing up part? SIP I anticipate two weeks, unless I hear otherwise. JK I think that's reasonable. AB Is this for the College side as well? SP No, just the City side. JB And then is the College side work going to be done, like at their Christmas closure or something? n APPROVED MINUTES ADJOURNED PALM DESERT LIBRARY PROMOTION COMMITTEE MEETING OCTOBER 5, 2011 SP Well, we, at some point, volunteered to do it during the winter break. Then we started talking about what's the rush in doing their side, you know, and doing our side first. We didn't see a need for it, and we have to find a way —the larger issue with the College is figuring out a way for them to be able to reimburse us to do the work. We have a means to contract to do the work. We just need to get them to pay for it. JB So more time is necessary. Spring might be the time. LK Sergio... SIP Yes, ma'am. LK Is their half ... they're not going to be painting or carpeting that half at all? SP The most current information that I have, and this is not written down, so it's kind of, you know, something we're trying to either make it as an amendment to the lease or have some sort of memorandum of understanding with the College ... what they've agreed to, from my understanding, is to recarpet and repaint. LK When we do the rest of it. SP At any time, and they've already... they've indicated to us that they are going to match the carpet we've selected, and they've matched the paints that we've selected. JB So you project beginning about the first of November, then, the packing, the beginning of the packing. SP You know, I'd say that's, that's fair. JB And then if the two weeks of packing is over, and the Library is shut down during that whole time, the demolition can begin? SP In my impression, yes. I need to confirm that we can start without a permit to do demo. Usually what happens is the inspectors aren't very concerned with demolition, they're more concerned about new construction. JB So then what's the projection, if that happens that way, to complete the project? L APPROVED MINUTES ADJOURNED PALM DESERT LIBRARY PROMOTION COMMITTEE MEETING OCTOBER 5, 2011 SP 120 days, four months after we start, which lands around February. JK My biggest fear is that we close too soon, and then we sit, and we sit, and we wait. So, I want to be cautious ... I'm ready to go, I'm very eager to get this started, but I don't want to have a delay and then have to say "we're sorry, we're closed" and... JB Well, with two -week notice needed to the public, we really have to project... JK Does everybody agree that two weeks is pretty reasonable? I mean, I don't think we have to take a vote. ?? Blake's here, and she could put it in The Desert Sun. BB Once we close, then the Bookmobile will be coming over and being parked here at City Hall and will be serving the community for four days a week, so we need to get (unclear) JK And we need to coordinate the routes because we'll have to change the bus routes... BB You mean the Bookmobile. JK The Bookmobile route. BB One day will change. SP I'm hearing some nods for a November 1st closure date. JK Do you think that that's reasonable, honestly? SIP I think so. If we can't .... we're already at October. JK I don't want to be ... I don't want it to be a (unclear) RDK But would you know more by this time next Wednesday, do you think, because we would still be three weeks out, right, two weeks out? SIP If we close November 1st, with two weeks to pack, November 15th, and then we mobilize, we bring a construction trailer, and we start putting up the construction barriers, that's about one to two weeks, and we start T APPROVED MINUTES ADJOURNED PALM DESERT LIBRARY PROMOTION COMMITTEE MEETING OCTOBER 5, 2011 demo, that's about one week, we're looking at December. That's two months to get through approvals. That's pretty liberal. EM I like liberal. SP That's pretty good. AB Sergio? SP Yes. AB Will there be access for COD students to still enter the front door or side door to go to the COD side? SP Well, that's been a topic of conversation. What we have right now in the contract is for our contractor to provide protected entry during construction, at the entrance, during construction. We can definitely move construction along a lot faster if we don't' have to provide that entrance, so we've talked with the College about providing an ancillary entrance, a secondary entrance, to the College side of the Library. They have seemed open to it. They're concerned about the early months of the year, and they're concerned about restrooms. So, there are some alternatives. I don't think I'm at liberty today to talk about what the College has accepted because, again, you know, this is all verbal. I don't have a strong commitment from them for those alternatives. But we're looking at, you know, if we can keep, if we can, if we can take the lobby early on, you know, the sooner we start, the sooner we'll complete. AB Just one more question. (unclear) construction permit (unclear) required to have a construction permit. SP For demolition? AB (unclear) demolition SIP Absolutely. If they say, "Hey, look, you can't do anything until we say so," then we'll kind of divert our attention to "okay, let's..." What happens is they'll tell you you need to do everything by this process, and then you'll say "okay, how long does the process take," and they'll say, like, three months, and you'll go crazy, and you'll say "well, can we do anything to improve that," and they'll say "no." So it's kind of frustrating. So our job is really to look for areas that we can improve upon that kind of matches 11 APPROVED MINUTES ADJOURNED PALM DESERT LIBRARY PROMOTION COMMITTEE MEETING OCTOBER 5, 2011 your expectations, because we submitted in June ... they didn't even start looking at these for a month and a half. JK In my opinion, I would say that we should not set a date today... SP Okay JK ...because I don't want anything announced ... I mean, the Visitor Center thought we were already closed, and that was kind of sad. And people have come in and said, "well, how did it go?" Really great, nothing happened. And people think we're closed. So I would say that we should not set a date today because if you ... you're going to know more in a week, even? SP Yes, next Wednesday... JK And that would still give us some time... SP We'll participate in that DSA review meeting to figure out what the details were and the changes in the contract, and at that time we'll pick Jose....Jose is our Project Captain for the architect... we're picking his brain right now (unclear). It's hard to do. It's hard to predict what the State's going to do. They just take a lot of time. JK Right, and I'd hate for them to come back and say, "No, you need to do more things, and no, that strength test failed and you need to do new drawings and new plans," and we've already told the public "we're closing" and then it's "no, we're not closing" because we've done that. RDK Would the Committee be comfortable in allowing the administration of the Library System, in conjunction with the EDA overseeing the project, would you be comfortable allowing them to set, you know, whatever is a reasonable... and we all agree that at least two weeks are required, and so whatever date that they can come to terms with.. EM Yes LK Do we have a motion? AB So moved. LK Second? 12 APPROVED MINUTES ADJOURNED PALM DESERT LIBRARY PROMOTION COMMITTEE MEETING JB Second LK All in favor? J B Aye AB Aye LC Aye E M Aye OCTOBER 5, 2011 LK Aye. Opposed? JK So, Sergio, we can talk about that next week for sure and see if we're any closer to having a... SP A firm date... JK ...a more firm idea of what we're doing. SP Well, thank you for being so patient because I know... JK I don't want to jump the gun. SP Okay JK I don't want to have to explain to everybody again why we're delayed. I want to be cautious. SP Well, thank you. I appreciate your patience. I can't wait to start myself. LK Anyone have any questions? SP Oh, I think we have to address... DS I don't know if you know which art is going. The art behind the Reference Desk... JK Circulation Desk? DS Circulation Desk, sorry, I always get it wrong. You can tell I don't work in the Library ... which is mosaic, so there's a piece of art that starts outside 13 APPROVED MINUTES ADJOURNED PALM DESERT LIBRARY PROMOTION COMMITTEE MEETING OCTOBER 5, 2011 on one of the columns, moves inside, and then moves behind the Circulation Desk. I don't think people always realize that they're all three related. To move artwork, there are laws that govern that process, so we've worked with the artist, and the pieces on either side of the Circulation Desk will actually be moved to the exterior of the building. And I'm working with the architect right now to find the exact location for those pieces, but it will be flanking either side of the doorway, so they'll stay on their same side that they were to begin with, and as you move in, you'll... there's a different feel for the piece, but it'll work very well. Also, that piece was specifically designed for that location. And if I can give a short presentation ... if you all don't know about the tour I was referring to for November, the Art Program does tour the artwork throughout the City in three locations, rotating every month at a different location. So every three months, we do a Public Art Tour of the artwork at the Library -- 12 pieces, starting from the earthwork that you see out in the landscape, moving all the way into the courtyard area. So if you're ever interested in having a tour, if you haven't been exposed to the background of the artwork, I'm happy to give you a tour or have one of our docents give you a tour. I'm easy to find, just call Rachelle. ES May I ask a question? If that artwork is going to be moved outside, and all the banging and the drilling going on inside, isn't that going to affect the walls of the outside of that building? DS Well, actually the idea is ... there are two ways it can be done that we will be further discussing. One is it can be moved directly out to the walls, and that's something we'll look at in that conversation, or they'll be stored properly, and then they'll be adhered afterward. They're pretty hardy. If they're installed correctly, which they will be (I'll be standing over them), then we should be okay, but again, I will talk further with (unclear) about that. SP Are we concerned about the exterior wall? ES No, I'm concerned about the artwork. SP Oh, okay. DS On the exterior wall. ES On the exterior wall because the banging and all that noise (unclear), the vibrations. 0 APPROVED MINUTES ADJOURNED PALM DESERT LIBRARY PROMOTION COMMITTEE MEETING OCTOBER 5, 2011 DS They are actually adhered to the wall. They're not just hung. There's a whole bolting system that's going in, and there's a steel frame that's with them, so they are a lot hardier than a lot of artworks are, and I think we should be okay, but it is something we ought to look into. SP Would you mind if I elaborate? DS Go ahead. SP The frame of the mosaics is a steel angle iron, which is embedded in the wall. We will recreate the same detailing so that it's essentially permanently affixed to the wall. And so it's not going to be just a screw and hang it. It's going to be very (unclear) ?? And not earthquake tape? SP No. DS And we will take care of it ... for all the work, it will be covered up because of the fine dust and demolition and construction. These are issues that will all be looked at for the artwork. X And I have to say, we saw a rendering of what it would look like outside, and it looks like it should have been there in the first place. It looked perfect. It just made the outside look beautiful. ?? I think that was Mayor Benson's idea to put the art ... or some of your ideas ... to put the art outside. X It will look lovely. SP Well, if there aren't any other questions, I'll see you... hopefully, next time see you, you will already be seeing some construction happening outside, so thank you for having me once again. LK Thank you for coming. 15 APPROVED MINUTES ADJOURNED PALM DESERT LIBRARY PROMOTION COMMITTEE MEETING OCTOBER 5, 2011 Vlll. REPORTS AND REMARKS A. Council Liaison (Mayor Jean Benson) None B. Librarian (Jeannie Kays) Ms. Kays reported that the Palm Desert Library had received a $13,000 grant from the State Library, which would allow for the purchase of 13 new laptop computers and a projector. They would have two phases of computer classes. Phase I would be mostly beginner classes, including Joining the Social Network, I've Turned On My Computer — Now What Do I Do?, etc. Phase II would be a bit more advanced, including Digital Scrapbooking, Archiving Heritage Photos, etc. Ms. Bowie added that the Library was not getting rid of the existing laptops, but the new computers would allow the Library to expand the number of classes being held. C. Special Events Coordinator (Robin Stewart) Ms. Stewart noted the Library was holding a contest for people to guess the date of closure for renovations. The winner of the contest plus three guests would receive a guided tour of the newly renovated facility with Librarian Jeannie Kays before the Library reopens to the public. She noted that the Chef Series will begin the end of October, and she had bookings all the way through to March 1 st for both the Chef Series and the Concerts Ms. Kays reported that when the Library closes for renovations, the Bookmobile would be providing services to the community in the Civic Center Park on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday each week. Sunday's hours will be 1-5pm, and hours the remaining days would be 9am-5pm. Ms. Bowie added that the Bookmobile's regularly scheduled Tuesday stop at Palm Desert Country Club would be switched to Friday, and it would continue with its regular east Valley route on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Palm Desert Library staff will operate the Bookmobile on the four days it is in Palm Desert. 16 APPROVED MINUTES ADJOURNED PALM DESERT LIBRARY PROMOTION COMMITTEE MEETING OCTOBER 5, 2011 D. Volunteer Coordinator (Eileen Strain) Ms. Strain reported the following: ■ 34 volunteers for September compared with 63 in July ■ 270 total hours in September; 554 in July ■ Shut-in visits and items delivered to the homebound — 0 ■ In August/September, there were two shut-in visits and nine items delivered Upon question by Ms. Manor as to how the volunteers were going to be used once the Library closes for renovations, Ms. Strain responded that two of the volunteers were going to be helping at the La Quinta Library. It was uncertain at this time what the other volunteers would be doing. Ms. Klassen noted that some of them could perhaps help at the various events that will be taking place. Ms. Kays added that while professional movers will be packing most of the Library's items for renovation, some of the things will need to be packed by staff, and volunteers could help with that as well as with moving in and getting things back in the proper order. E. Friends of the Palm Desert Library (Joan Beasley) Ms. Beasley reported that the Friends of the Palm Desert Library had a "going out of business" sale this past weekend. Staff took three days to run it, and the Library made $3,500. F. Budget Subcommittee (Ella Manor/Bobbie Rosenberg) None G.
