III. COUNCIL CHAMBER DESIGN AND LOCATION
Mr. Gill presented a plot plan alternative for the
Civic Center site that would provide for the Council
Chamber to have 108 fixed seats, located in closer
proximity to the Administrative office wing of the
City Hall. This location of the Council Chamber
would permit the inclusion on the site of a com-
munity center structure, in addition to the library
site.
Moved by Councilman Sharp, seconded by Councilman
Welsh that Change Order No. 1 be approved, author-
izing the relocation of the Council Chambers in
closer proximity to the Administrative offices
and changing the design to a 108 fixed seat theater-
type assembly structure. Carried unanimously,

~ : IV. PLOT PLAN AND COMMUNITY BUILDING
Mr. Gill presented plot plan alternatives that could
accommodate a 15,000 square foot library structure
and a 5,000 square foot community building.
Discussion centered around the design concepts of
the structures, circulation system as related to
Third and Main Streets, and the desire for the com-
munity building to be designed in accordance with
the initial concept of the Council Chamber, whereby
the southerly exposure would complement the garden
mall. This could be achieved by relocating the
proposed kitchen facilities to the westerly side
of the community center building.
Mr. Rourke advised that it would be necessary for
the Council to advertise for competitive bids for
a contract to construct the community center building.
However, the present agreement with the Architect,
A. Quincy Jones, authorizes the design of the struc-
tures without the necessity of a new agreement, upon
the approval of the City Council.
Moved by Saltarelli, seconded by Sharp that plot
plan alternative "A~ be app~oved and the City
Attorney and City Administrator be authorized to
contra~t with A. Quincy Jones for the design of'a
community building of 4,300 to 5,500 square feet,
at an estimated construction cost of $30.00 per
square foot. Carried unanimously.

V. LIBRARY AGREEMENT
Moved by Sharp, seconded by Welsh that the City
Council determines that the Orange County Branch
Library is appropriate and authorized for the Civic
Center site subject to the signing of a lease agree-
ment. The City staff is hereby authorized to for-
malize an agreement with the County of Orange, sub-
ject to the City C0uncil's retention of the assurance
of design compatibility of the Library structure
with other Civic Center improvements. Carried
unanimously.
Further discussion of the action specified that
the term "fair market value" shall be defined as
the value of the improvements constructed by the
County of Orange and shall not be meant to imply
the value of the land or site. By unanimous agree-
ment, the 50-year lease term was acceptable to the
CounCil and staff was authorized to formalize an
agreement that would begin the best interests of
the City, that would also be acceptable within
the policy constraints of the County of Orange.
In this regard, it was deemed essential that the
Civic Center Architect, A. Quincy Jones, have~
input to exterior design factorsof the Library,
which could be achieved by a joint venture with
the architect selected by Orange County.
VI.
ADJOURNMENT Moved by W~lsh, seconded by Sharp that the
Special Meeting be adjourned to the next
regular meeting of the City Council. Carried
unanimously. (6:10 p.m.)
