Elk River Public Library Board Page 4 <br /> May 23,2017 <br /> III5.2 Library Grounds Report <br /> ■ Parking Lot Curbing <br /> Areas with moveable concrete curbs will be replaced with permanent curbing <br /> with curb cuts for more efficient water runoff. This is being done by the <br /> same contractor redoing Orono Parkway and the work will be complete this <br /> summer. The CIP budget of$10,000 should be adequate. <br /> The parking lot will be closed in sections to complete the curbing, so <br /> customers still have parking spaces. It should only take 2 days per section to <br /> complete the work. Tim will try to work with the contractor to do the work <br /> on Tuesdays and Thursdays when the library doesn't open until 12 pm. <br /> ■ Parking Lot Lighting <br /> This project was initiated in 2016 but due to staff changes it fell off the radar <br /> when staff was preparing the 2017 CIP budget. The project entails: <br /> 1. All the overhead parking light poles will convert from halogen to <br /> LED fixtures. This will help with LEED certification and reduce <br /> electricity costs. <br /> 2. Light bollards along the sidewalk will be removed and the holes filled <br /> with concrete because they keep getting hit by car bumpers and many <br /> ID are no longer functional or are leaning. An additional light pole with a <br /> double-headed light will be installed. One head will light the driveway <br /> to the book drop and the other head will light the parking lot to <br /> replace the broken bollards being removed. <br /> 3. Add a wall mounted LED fixture by the front entry and upgrade the <br /> existing wall mounted lights to LED bulbs for enhanced lighting. <br /> 4. Add a light to the center island and flag pole so there is a proper light <br /> for the flag and more adequate lighting in the island. <br /> 5. Have an electrician re-drill new anchors and reset the light pole by <br /> the book drop turn around that got hit and is now leaning and a <br /> potential safety hazard. <br /> This should cost about$20,000 and if the Board votes to ask for CIP funds for <br /> this project for 2018,Tim proposes putting this out to bid to the same vendors <br /> that provided the original bids. <br /> 5.1.b Bylaws Change <br /> 1) City council rewrote their attendance requirements under Article VI <br /> to reflect a difference in Boards/Commissions that meet monthly vs. <br /> less than monthly.
