Motion carried 5-0. <br /> 5.2 Old Business <br /> 5.2.1 Letter to the Friends of the Elk River Library <br /> Mary K. reported the Friends group was delighted with the letter they <br /> received from the Library Board thanking them for their efforts in <br /> improving the Elk River Library. Mary K. commented that they <br /> appreciated having their efforts recognized. <br /> 5.3 Library Grounds Report <br /> ■ Tim is ready to submit PO's for the permanent patio furniture.There is a <br /> 4-week lead time so the furniture will be delivered in early spring. <br /> • The windmill had a rusted bearing so the artist who built the windmill is <br /> working on a replacement part. So far the artist has not charged for any <br /> follow up parts. Because this was custom, there are not ready-made parts <br /> to be found for the windmill, so hopefully this will be a long-term fix. <br /> 110 <br /> • The kiosk is finished and will be planted in the garden close to the front <br /> door on the right hand side as soon as the ground thaws. <br /> • Tim will have staff refinish the wood on the benches throughout the <br /> grounds when it warms up. <br /> 5.4 Building Maintenance Report <br /> The existing cleaning contract is up for renewal and Gary Lore received six <br /> proposals—one of which is from the existing company the city is not happy <br /> with. He called the references of the least expensive company that bid the <br /> contract and none of the references were very positive about them. The second <br /> least expensive bid was from the company the city currently uses and the city <br /> does not want to use them again. Gary is putting together a proposal for city <br /> council in which he proposes hiring one or two full-time staff persons because it <br /> will be less expensive and there are fewer problems with city employees vs. <br /> contracted help. Gary will extend the current contract a couple months to work <br /> through his proposal for council. <br /> 5.5 Library Zones Report <br /> Willie noted the handicap parking sign in Zone 2 looked like it was backed into <br /> by a car because the sign is bent. Robbie thought this was fixed,but this will be <br /> confirmed with Tim Sevcik. • <br /> I EREO lI <br /> NATURE <br />
