Board discusses archive storage option; proposal placed on hold for further research

Board members and staff discussed a proposal to provide humidity‑controlled storage for archival materials (potentially in a garage area) to protect historical records and make digitization feasible. Staff and members noted the library already holds materials and suggested converting items to digital formats where appropriate.

Planning staff said the initiative is on hold pending further research and coordination with the library and other custodial departments. The board requested staff follow up on storage requirements and any funding or space constraints before the item returns to the agenda.
