Clock repair. The clock repair company on Highway 101 has the clock and is in the process of preparing a free estimate. Storage. There is a need for additional storage behind the desk. Matching carpeting being stored by the city was located and found to be damaged. Ms. Stoffers will look into putting tiles in that area and will have that information for the next board meeting. Ms. Stoffers presented three shelving options to the Board: Oak shelving, 9 feet, shelves on both sides for $2,134.00 Metal shelving with oak end pieces, 9 foot length for $1, 665.00 A 9 foot unit without a back It was felt that the second option, metal shelving with oak end pieces, would be the most economical. This price also includes installation. To fund this purchase, it was suggested that the $3,000.00 from the Capital Outlay line item be transferred to this project. We would, of course, bring this to the City Council for their approval. The board will consider the flooring options and expenses at the next meeting. It is hoped the entire project can be accomplished for $3,000.00 or less. Board meeting frequency. Determining the frequency of the meetings is up to the board members. We simply need to change the bylaws to reflect the actual meeting frequency. The frequency change was suggested in the past as the board was having trouble reaching a quorum. That problem seems to be solved and there are pressing issues the library needs resolved. Future expansion is also a real possibility. (The city architect is currently doing some very preliminary sketches of an expanded library. Another adjacent property to the library may be acquired.) In which case, every other month meetings would be impossible. A motion was made and seconded to keep the meetings of the Library Board on a monthly basis. The board agreed unanimously. Other The only volunteer help the library uses is the retired senior program. These wonderful volunteers do all the phone calling for the library. Security was discussed. An expansion has to take security into account as line of sight for employees would be severely impaired compared to the current situation. GRRL library keeps track of stolen missing library property. Patrons are charged for damaged items. Discussion on costs/benefits and disadvantages of various security options was had. Library staff and patrons should have their needs and wants considered as a part of current expansion. Next meeting is May 28, 2002 at 6:30 PM Meeting adjourned at 7:10 PM Respectfully submitted, Jeri Miller, Secretary
