MEMO
May 3, 2011
To: Honorable City Council Members
Salt Lake City Council
From: Fred Fife, PSE
842 W 900 So
Salt Lake City, Utah 84104
The Glendale Library Steering Committee recommended the
Concord site to the Library Board after rejecting the alternate 900
South site as not viable based on inaccurate, unsubstantiated,
hearsay information from one of its committee members that was
later determined to be totally not factual and misleading.
That information was imposed on architect, CRSA, to consider in a
report on the viability of the 900 South site that is owned by the
City free and clear and that has features that the community voted
as most important compared to all sites considered, including the
Concord site.
The 900 South site, across the Jordan River from the International
Peace Gardens, would save taxpayers money and time to complete
the project and it exemplifies the qualities that the community
desires for its library.
The architect was misled by information claimed to be factual and
his report and thus his firm are discredited because of it. He
should be allowed to amend his report, if the information given to
him can be proven to be inaccurate, which he has said he would do
at his own expense.
2
It is therefore requested that the Council set a precedent by
rejecting the unfounded recommendation from the Library Board
with an order that they direct the steering committee to resume the
site selection process by requesting the architect to reevaluate the
information that came from them.
The process needs to be resumed to restore the integrity of the
Library Board, the steering committee, and importantly the
architect in this important decision for the Glendale community.
