The President explained the purpose of the executive session is to decide
when to hold a referendum for erection of a branch library, expansion of the

much more advantageous than dividing the collection between a main library and

a branch.
The President, leading the discussion, stated the first question to be
resolved w,as - does the Board want to go ahead with erection of a branch? Miss
Radmache:t1 voiced a re.commendatio n that purchase of the land be made but, as
l.}
for building, proceed with the expansion here and, in the future, use the land
if and when necessary.
There was agreement and disagreement in the discussion that followed
and also whether to acquire the land through referendum or go to condemnation.
Mr. Green informed the Board that the Village has acquired by cash,
contract and Open Land Grant funds, all property between the Village Hall and
the Library.
In the Library's contract with the Village there is a written stipu-
lation that the Library may acquire some additional land if needed for which the
Library will reimburse the Village and they in turn remit to the Government.
Attorney McDowell advised the Board at this time that the simpler the
proposal for the referendum can be made the better chance it will have of passing.

Motion:
That the Library offer a referendum based on
the proposition that all of the anticipated library
building needs of the Village {including land)
be provided in an expansion of the present building
