AGENDA ITEM 3 - Long-range Goals and Selection of Immediate Objectives : ( To be continued at the next meeting ) Mr . Dragan asked Mr . Vollmayer to review the plans of the pro - posed remodeling at the Library. He showed the light fixture design which has been chosen to give the maximum amount of light. Pour mercury vapor lights will be installed and the old incandescent lights abandoned ® One flower bed will be removed to improve the traffic flow , The word "Library" will be placed in easily read letters on the overhang of the . main entrance , It should be visible from the street, The second part of the project is the entrance to the Children ' s Library. Since the law provides that access to public buildings be provided for the handicapped and there is not sufficient room from the parking lot , the approach from that side will remain unchanged . A ramp will be built from the front. Mr . Vollmayer said he thought , with regard to the proposed mural wall , that a three-dimensional mural of some kind might resist vandalism. Mr. Weeks suggested that the front wall of the courtyard might be removed to create a clear vista to the mural . This might also tend to reduce vandalism.
