The grant also includes a Kiosk where people can "download" books to their e- readers. The YMCA will also receive several e- readers to utilize for the after school program. The library is in the process of ordering materials, completion date to be determined. The library would also like to hold a grand opening at some point, date to be determined.

Mr. Dickinson is also putting an RFP in place to hire a consultant to look at expansion areas. 3.5 million dollars has been put aside for this possible 2014 expansion project. Mr. Butler, again thought it would be a good idea when talking future AYCC expansion, that we should take a look at offering other retail business types to rent/lease space, such as having someone come in to © run a pro -shop and retail (jersey & t -shirt orders). Mr. Butler also provided the commission with an update on the park development project on Tulip St. A gazebo, play areas, courts and playing fields are being planned. The park commission is looking at a possible 2014 completion date. At the next meeting, the committee will need to vote and appoint a chair and vs chair for the advisory committee. The commission also noted that they would like to start seeing a more descriptive meeting agenda put together by staff.
