This upgrade will enhance the previous- <br />ly approved adjacent project to install a new exterior door and security gate access to the Pirate Ship <br />imaginative play area. <br />Background <br />In late 2016, the Library began looking at replacing worn components of the Redwood Shores Branch <br />Library Interpretive Center, including panels faded by the sun and interactive components that needed <br />improvements. In addition to looking at repairs, the Library also engaged interns from Design Tech High <br />School to do observation and interviews with community members to identify needed improvements. The <br />students considered ways to make the center more attractive to younger users and how to include more <br />environmental education. Their biggest recommendations included brighter colors, additional interactive <br />components like touchscreens and games that could be easily updated over time instead of static panels of <br />text, and additional information about current topics like recycling and sea level rise. The total cost to <br />design and install the upgrades is $350,000, half of which will be funded by the Redwood City Library Foun- <br />dation. <br />Timeline <br />This new project would be completed by the end of the fiscal year. <br />Operational Impacts <br />Minimal increase in electricity usage. <br />CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 199 <br />FUND <br />Previously <br />Approved <br />Estimated <br />Expenditures <br />thru 6-30-20 <br />FY 2019-20 <br />Carryover <br />Recom'd <br />FY 2020-21 <br />Estimated <br />FY 2021-22 <br />Estimated <br />FY 2022-23 <br />Estimated <br />FY 2023-24 <br />Estimated <br />FY 2024-25 <br />Estimated <br />5 -Yr Cost <br />357 Capital Outlay Fund <br />Ongoing <br />Ongoing <br />Ongoing <br />175,000 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />175,000 <br />TOTALS <br />Ongoing <br />Ongoing <br />Ongoing <br />175,000 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />0 <br />175,000 <br />CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 199 <br />
