He further explained that it is possible that the existing library could go through modernization without being fully remodeled. Mr. Pietsch remarked that approximately$2 million in upgrade would be needed in order to fully utilize all of the square footage in the building. He also stated the KCLS feels they can provide expanded services if more centrally located in the downtown core. Chief Administrative Officer 1ay Covington added that KCLS's study shows that even with upgrades, the 47-year old existing library building is not optimally sized to provide service for the next 40 years. Mr. Pietsch explained that Renton voters will never pay for the KCLS 2004 bonds and that KCLS is acting appropriately by asking Renton to fund construction of the two new Renton libraries. He explained that when first discussing annexation, KCLS said they felt there were deficits in both of the City facilities,as even indicated in the City's library master plan, and that they would want to see those upgraded. KCLS indicated they could not ask the rest of the KCLS taxpayers, already paying for the 2004 bonds,to pay for Renton library building improvements just because Renton did not previously keep the buildings up to standards. Mr. Pietsch also stated that the Interlocal Agreement with KCLS approved by Council on July 6, 2009 affirmed that the City would build two new libraries if annexation to KCLS was supported by the voters. Mr. Pietsch added that information relating to library issues is on the City's website, and more will be provided to the public when it becomes available. Councilmember Corman emphasized that Council is still reviewing the issues. Councilmember Parker commented on the KCLS annexation election results and stated that he feels he is representing all of the citizens in making these decisions and by reviewing all of the materials that have come forward.
