Subject: RE: Library Projects - what we submitted and what we are working on
Greetings Gary,
Attached is an update to the list the library presented at the Capital Project Hearing providing more detail as to the
needs for each library facility. This list updates the list that appeared in page 4 of our presentation at the Capital Project
Committee bearing. I spoke with Dan Connors yesterday and he was very helpful in assisting with our understanding
what is needed and how the facility study process will fit in down the road,
Basically, we had identified a range of needs for each library facility, but we realize the study the City is conducting might
identify issues we had not listed or identify some issues we did identify as more urgent and more or less costly. We
want to work with the City as the study progresses to use any Capital allocation for library branches to address library
building issues raised by the study as promptly as possible given funding constraints.
This approach works best if we have one pool of funding for all city branches to be used to address needs, including
those that result from the study, and to allow the library to leverage state grant-funds and donations as they become
available.
In addition to the updated list, for your convenience I've attached the overview charts presented at the hearing. Page 3
gives an example of how we are working to leverage state and local funding to match City 2012 funds (without the City
2012 funds being available we would not been able to apply for this grant and the $119,000 would have gone to another
community).
I have also attached the material we used to apply for the New York State Library Construction grant this past
September for the Dudley Roof /HVAC project. That grant request has been reviewed by State Library staff and will be
forwarded to the Dormitory Authority of the State of NY (DASNY) for their review. Part of that review was to ensure
matching funds were available and I was required to forward the Official Statement for the City Bonds issued earlier this
year as proof — we expect an award in March -April 2013 in the amount of $119,000, possibly modestly higher.
I hope this provides the information you need. i would be happy to answer additional questions you or Council
members might have. We really appreciate the cooperative working relationship we have with City DPW and that
cooperation is paying off in our ability to raise grant funds to help improve City branch library facilities!
Regards,
Ken

Mark Kross and I are working on updating the Overview page 4 list for all libraries and will get you a revised page later
today. As we discussed this would be a list of what we see as the needs which we would update when the study results
are available. Please give me a call if you have any questions or suggestions. Your assistance is really appreciated!

Dan,
As we discussed last week here is an updated Prime Systems Group Priority methodology which puts major mechanical
(heating and cooling generation equipment) and electrical (major service equipment) components in separate groups
from distribution and lesser operational categories.
Unless advised otherwise this shall be the priority system I will overlay for the final sanity check outputs.

Description
For capital improvements to libraries city -wide. This funding is intended to
support projects to rehabilitate library facilities including replacing end of life
major building components as identified in the VFA facilities assessment.
Some of these funds can be leveraged to obtain NYS Library Construction
Grant aid with a rJocal match as low as 25% for library projects in economically
challenged areas. Projects would include installing and reconstructing
existing architectural, mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems-to be
more energy efficient. Projects could also include installing elevators /lifts to
make libraries, such as the East Delavan Library, fully ADA accessible (the
East Delavan Library's public restmoms and meeting room are located in the
basement and prese only accessible via stairs).
These items need to be addressed to ensure each branch library's ability to
operate into the future. if a library facility falls into disrepair and/or fails to meet
code requirements, B &ECPL's ability to offer library services from that facility
may be impacted, with the degree of impact directly related to the
seriousness of the facility's problems. For example, should an unaddressed
item develop into a major structural or safely problem (including failure of
heating or air conditioning systems), service may have to be hafted until the
problem is resolved. Even when the problem is not an immediate safety
issue, decreased patron comfort and usability resulting from inefficient
windows, poor lighting, deteriorating wallslceilings, failing HVAC systems or
lack of insulation will contribute to reduced library use.

City Branch libraries'are heavily used. In 2011, patrons visited 214,422 times,
checking out 750,728 items.and using 565,907 sessions at public access
computers averaging an hour per session - all at no charge, helping
residents cope with the impacts of our struggling economy.
BECPL has previously been successful in securing grants to help fund capital
projects at city branch libraries. Under this approach, the Library has provided
grant reimbursements for branch library capital project work performed by the
City totaling $38,875.50 in 2010 and $183,948.81 in 2011. Almost $25,000 is
available for reimbursement in 2012.
Having funding in place to commit towards a project is a critical precursor to
being able to apply for state funds. For example, in the 2010 -2011 NY State
Library Construction Grant funding cycle, lack of local match resulted in
$405,605 being forfeited. Had sufficient matching funds been available over
$810,000 in projects could have been completed. These grant funds were
redistributed to libraries in other parts of New York State beyond Western New
York, forgoing the economic impact of this construction activity on the Western
NY economy.

PROJECTS WILL BE PRIORITIZED USING'CITY FACILITY STUDY-RESULTS
Total cost for these items is believed to be more than twice the requested funding. The library will work with City DPW to prioritize
projects based upon the City's facility study results when available as well as to seek matching grant funds as we have in the past.

Subject: Erie Basin Marina / Hatch
Steve / Pete,
Regarding the Hatch project, please be advised of the following:
The Current Bond fixed 35328206 was funded with $406,000.00
Of that $406,000; $97,000 was used for the Design contract, leaving approximately $309,000.00 to spend for construction.
Based on the attached estimate, that should be adequate to fund the replacement of the gazebo, ice cream, clam bar, etc.
I would like to do this work this winter / spring, but I'm still waiting for the contract to come back from Audit.
I did speak to Jim and Len this morning, i hope to have the design contract soon.
The new bond sale will fund the remainder of the project listed, about $1.3M for the Hatch upgrades; second floor patio
and office and storage upgrades.
But so everyone is aware, this work can't be done in the Summer while the place is open, this is all fall, winter, spring
work.
so this $1.3M can't be spent until fall of 2013 thru spring 2014.
Marina is open May l" until October 15"'.
Anything else, let me know,
Don.
