At the request of Mayor Arthur I. Snyder, a meeting was held with
Commissioners Jay R. Beskin (chair), Jeffrey M. Perlow, Vice Mayor Arthur
Berger and the City Manager to discuss issues relating to the Library. The
meeting was called to order at 3:40 p.m. by Commissioner Beskin. Those
present at the meeting were Commissioners Beskin, Perlow, Vice Mayor Berger
and City Manager Eric M. Soroka. Also in attendance were City Clerk Teresa M.
Soroka, Commissioners Harry Holzberg and Patricia Rogers-Libert.
Possible alternatives and considerations were outlined and discussed. It was the
consensus of the Committee that the first priority would be to determine what the
City wants in a Library. The Committee requested that the City Manager obtain
demographics concerning the users of the North Dade Regional Library from
Miami-Dade County. Board members recommended that the Committee hold 2-
3 Town Hall Meetings to obtain public input, with Library Consultant as facilitator.
It was suggested that the meetings be scheduled as follows:
Waterways
Coronado
Point East
mid-November
December/January
mid-November
Information obtained from public hearings and the Commission to be provided to
Consultant for preparation of cost analysis.
There being no further discussion, the meeting adjourned at 4:30 p.m.
