5:38 pm
library can refinance our current debt by reducing the prisple and estimate interest rates to 2.6 to 3.7 percent to the original sale which was 5.6 percent. it is all good fiscal management to reduce that debt and the long term savings approximate from 14 to $16.7 million. the bond term is for 25 years and end in 2034 but this will reduce the timeframe so ask for your support approving that appropriation and refunding. we also have jamie curuben from the controllers office of public financing to answer any questions. >> why don we go to the report from mr. rose. >> we totally agree this is the

5:40 pm
library is distrunkz of the entire west wing of the 5th floor where the bound magazines about half the collection was housed and the removal to brooks hall so there can be a lurbing and literacy center placed there which we said could be placed in any store front or office building and not as a core function of the library housing the libraries collections so i'm completely taken aback that now those materials are going to be moved even further away then brooks hall which is basically the underground area in the civic center. i think the lack of public process here is very problematic. it is something that will have something to say about on the overall budget issue, but the idea that collections will be moving further and further away when
5:41 pm
the literacy and learning center functions be in any location in the area of the library or not is very very problematic. it is real dismantling of the library as a library. thank you. >> thank you very much. anybody else wish to comment on item 22? seeing none, public comment is closed. motion on item 22 please only? >> like to move to full board with positive recommendation. >> motion by supervisor yee and second by pr visor tang without objection. thank you very much and thank you to had city library for being here on their budget. we move up next to the airport. >> good morning. cathy wagner
