DESCRIPTION: At the meeting of February 6, 2001 the City Council authorized Staff to
solicit bids for the new Dublin Public Library. The Library includes 38,500 square feet of building and
approximately 6 acres of site work. The proposed schedule for the project is 14 months.
As a member of the City Library Committee, Councilmember McCormick is requesting that the City
Council consider inclusion of a time capsule in the Library construction project. In order to accommodate a
time capsule into the project a location and proposed timing for the inclusion of the capsule will have to
be determined. Additionally, it will be necessary to identify the items for inclusion in the time capsule.
At this time, Staff is recommending two options for Council to consider.
The first would be to provide a vault in the paving area in the from plaza. The time Capsule could be
placed in the vault and sealed with a concrete topping. The concrete could be poured to allow access at a
future date should Council want to add items or unearth the capsule.
The second would be to construct a pedestal similar to the one used for the dedication plaque at the Civic
Center. The pedestal could be hollow allowing for the capsule to fit inside. A cap could be constructed to
:allow for future access. The pedestal could also be located within the front plaza area.
Both of the above recommendations will be part of construction some time in the spring of 2002 allowing
time to prepare the items to be included in the time capsule.
