<br /> necessary for construction. He stated that it was not so much
<br />~ a question of the construction costs, but rather a question of
<br /> maintenance of the installation for perpetuity; that the
<br /> McFadden Branch operating costs go up $25,000 every year; and
<br /> that the northeast and southwest areas of the City will also
<br /> be requesting branches. Staff agreed that the matter of the
