The report of the Forum Municipal Services Committee (1) supports the request by the Village of Scarsdale that the Library should pursue economies and prioritization of design features in a revised proposal for the Scarsdale Public Library renovation and expansion project; (2) advocates that the Library board, building committee and architect should be required to justify their design choices based on a cost benefit analysis; (3) recommends that the proposal should continue to meet the Librarys mission and program goals, while offering a fiscally tenable plan that would not present any imprudent risk to the Village and its taxpayers; and (4) recommends that the Library should explain to the public how a level of service and functionality consistent with 21st century healthful built environment and energy efficient standards might be achieved while reducing the projected expenditure for the project, and should further make public the alternative plans drawn to accomplish the primary goals of the project at lower cost.
