II. New Business
A. Budget amendment not to exceed $10,000 to purchase wireless mics: M. Rice moved to approve the
staff request; R. Qualls seconded. No objection.
B. Presentation by MSR Design Team to FPL' Board of Trustees: The expansion site, located between
the Ozark Highlands and the Boston Mountains, is rich but challenging. The plan calls for preserving
the library's existing entry, but also establishing a new, main entry in the building's geographic center
with sight lines to all areas of the library (School Street side, level 200). Some colors, materials, and
patterns from Blair Library will be repeated in the expansion for cohesion. Levels 3 and 4 of Blair
Library will look out over the roof of the expansion. The green roof will be expanded with plants that
live. Solar panels will face the Boston Mountains out of sight from Blair Library. Administration,
Development, Marketing and Fiscal Services will be near the main entry. Circulation and Technical
Services will be together on level 300. Arsaga's will stay in its current location.
The Design Team is mapping the power of water in the area to accomplish integrated storm water runoff.
A seep garden, integral to runoff control, will also serve as an educational landscape piece. A pocket
garden at the existing entrance will soften the space, provide a comfortable place for reading, and de-
emphasize the area as the main entrance. Materials from the demolition of City Hospital will become fill
in the expansion. The Board expressed some concern about the steps required to get from one end of the
library to the other, accessibility from the south, and the compatibility of the new roofline with the
existing building.
The Design Team is working with Crossland Construction on a regular basis to ensure the project ends up
on budget.
In summary, the board is delivering on its promises to voters to double youth space, provide a dedicated
teen area, and build a 700 seat multi-purpose room, movement room, and outdoor movie screen.
III. Adjournment: Meeting adjourned at 5:24 pm.

Policy Name: Naming of Spaces or Programs
The Fayetteville Public Library and the Fayetteville Public Library Foundation seek private
funds to enhance the library's ability to meet the needs of the community, particularly
toward a level of excellence that would otherwise not be possible without private funding.
To that end, the library seeks to provide appropriate recognition to donors for their
generosity. Although such recognition may take many forms, this policy seeks to establish
guidelines for the naming of facilities and programs as donor recognition.
Generally, the naming of facilities, programs and endowments recognizes an individual's,
corporation's or foundation's generous gift. The library Board of Trustees has an approved
set of general guidelines that provide parameters for the permanent naming of facilities,
programs and support funds. These guidelines are designed to accommodate unpredictable
situations and donor expectations while keeping the library mission and policies at the fore
in making decisions.
All naming opportunities are negotiable, and the library recognizes that notwithstanding
this policy, the Board of Trustees of the library retains its discretion to make exceptions or
alter criteria or conditions as appropriate to the circumstances. There are innumerable ways
the library may recognize the contributions of individuals, families, corporations and
foundations, just as there are many forms these contributions can take. Some general
principles are:
• The naming of any facility,, space, room or program is usually only appropriate when
a significant gift is received.
• All naming requests should ensure that the honoree or donor meets the highest
values and societal standards.
• All permanently named facilities and programs should be reviewed and approved by
the Fayetteville Public Library executive director and Board of Trustees upon the
recommendation of the Fayetteville Public Library Foundation, where appropriate,
and ultimately subject to the approval requirements listed below.
• The Fayetteville Public Library Foundation has the authority to review and approve
names for facilities, spaces, rooms and endowments.
The following principles shall be fully adhered to in the naming process:
• All proposed names for buildings and other facilities should be held in confidence
during the review and approval process. There should be a minimum of
communication about the proposed naming before appropriate approval has been
granted.
• The naming of facilities, rooms, spaces or endowments in recognition of a donor or
honoree implies a promise to that donor or honoree that the facility, room, space or
endowment fund and other forms of tangible recognition will be permanently
21
maintained, or if change is unavoidable, that an alternative means of recognizing
the donor or honoree will be found.
The Fayetteville Public Library Foundation shall be responsible for maintaining a
record of named facilities, rooms, spaces and endowed funds.
Naming commitments and, in fact, all major gifts, whether recognized by naming
rights or not, are reflections on the ideals and reputation of the Fayetteville Public
Library. Accordingly, each gift and naming commitment should be reviewed
carefully for full compliance with applicable laws and ethical principles. This is
especially true where there is some direct or indirect business or other continuing
relationship between the donor and the library, its officers or employees. Any
questions about the applicability of state or federal laws on conflicts of interest
and other ethical considerations should be referred to appropriate legal counsel.
PROCEDURES ON NAMING OF FACILITIES, PROGRAMS, AND SUPPORT
FUNDS
1. The donor, either in response to a formal solicitation or of his or her own volition,
indicates to a gift officer at the FPL Foundation an interest in making a gift of
significance to benefit the Library.
2. The gift officer determines the exact nature of the gift intention and discusses
the application of the Named Gift Program policies with the donor to identify
naming opportunities of interest.
3. Once the gift officer determines the exact nature of the gift intention and the
interest in naming opportunities, s/he then discusses the application of the
Named Gift Program policies with the FPL Foundation Board of Directors
4. The FPL Foundation Board reviews the gift materials presented, determine
appropriate naming opportunities available, and make their recommendation to
the library Board of Trustees.
5. Once the naming opportunity is approved, a formal contractual commitment is
executed outlining parameters of the gift in support of the library (as well as
the nature of the named recognition).
6. Recognition steps are then set in motion, including appropriate media
announcements, signage installation, ceremonies, etc. (consistent with the wishes
of the donor). It is important to note that, throughout the review and approval
process, the donor's intentions should be held in strict confidence.
7. The named gift is then registered in the library's official register of named
spaces and is marketed as such in all publications and future announcements
concerning this newly designated area.
