it is up to each Councilmember if they would like to say thank you to a citizen after they have

Restrooms: Mayor Putaansuu said the library is not in favor of having men's bathrooms on one
floor, and women's bathrooms on another floor. The library would like to keep all gender
bathrooms on the 1st floor. This leaves 2 choices; keeping the gender -neutral bathrooms on
both floors or redesign the restrooms on the 2nd floor to have seperate male and female
restrooms. He discussed the costs of the redesign and noted the conference room would be
smaller.
Meeting space: If we move forward with the redesign of the bathrooms, we lose space in the
largest meeting room. The space that was originally designed as a co -working space can be
opened for a more functional meeting space. We would need to remove columns and add
countertop and sink. He discussed costs of this redesign.
Council direction: Move forward with the nanowalls and redesign of the 2nd floor restrooms and
co -working space.
