October 2009
KCLS officials had a very positive conversation with Mike Collins (Board Chair) and Wendy Braicks (Director) of the Vashon Parks District and were able to reach agreement on all of the key issues on the Vashon Library lease. KCLS’ lawyer will translate the verbal agreements into lease form. The Vashon Parks Board reviewed the document at their October 27 meeting and may approve the lease at its November 11 meeting. The KCLS Board of Trustees could then consider it at the November KCLS Board meeting. The new lease will allow KCLS to proceed with the design and construction of an expanded and renovated Library building at the current library location.
