NEW POST: Library/Event Center - March 2020 Election

Commissioner Seidel, Commissioner Sprinkel, and Mayor Leary finalized the decision to start construction of the library and event center on Monday January 27, 2020 in a 3 to 2 vote. Construction begins immediately.

Commissioner Cooper and Commissioner Weaver made motions to postpone and/or remove the covered entry (porte cochere) and the event center rooftop venue. They also made motions to re-design the project or to expand the existing library with a parking structure. These motions did not pass. They then voted against starting construction of the project that has been in process for nearly four years.

There are only two explanations for Cooper's and Weaver's motions and votes. Either they are not thinking clearly or they want to keep the myths about the project alive for the March 17, 2020 city commission election to serve their political interests. Continuing to promote killing the project will have dramatic financial and social costs.
