Gael Stuartre: Fundina for Ci 'tV Library Project: Gael Stuart came before the Board to discuss funding for the City Library renovation project. He explained that $110,000 of the $800,000 needed for the project has been raised as follows: $100,000 from the Port Townsend Paper Corporation, $210,000 from solicitations since December, $150,000 from the City, and $248,000 from the State (The grant request was for $350,000). $90,000 remains to be raised before September 30. Mr. Stuart asked that the Board provide some financial support for this project over the next two years. Even though this is a City Library, there are many County resi.dents and school children that use it. There is an overlap between the City and County library service areas. This project, Mr. Stuart continued, will provide an economic benefit to this community in the form of salaries, and materials purchased. The County will receive a portion of the sales tax from the project budget. Mr. Stuart asked that the County make a commitment to give the project the portion of the sales tax they will receive from the project. Further than that, Mr. Stuart, asked that the County make a commitment to the project in the interest of furthering the economic and intellectual growth of the community. Mr. Lars Watson added that the City Library is 15 years old and for a good part of that time it was the only library serving east Jefferson County. After discussion of o'!:her possible funding sources, the Board advised that they would consider this request.
