Elk River Public Library Board Page 3 January 23,2018 410 LEED certification. Mary E. asked to have Gary attend the March meeting providing examples/samples/prices of new hand dryers. The Board would like cost estimates to have hand dryers relocated next to the sinks. Robbie suggested Gary consult with the city's Environmental Tech, Amanda Bednar, on the Boards requests. Mary E. asked if Gary could also provide estimated costs to include urinals in some/all of the bathrooms and doesn't know if it would be a LEED issue. Laura will contact Gary with their requests and ask him to attend the March meeting. 5.4 Library Zones Report • The Board asked for an update on the windmill at the March meeting; • The board asked for a status on the kiosk that is to be installed at the front entrance at the March meeting; • Mick noted the wood benches throughout the grounds need to be sanded and refinished once it warms up; • The Friends of the Library fixed the DVD slippage issue by purchasing tension rods to keep the DVD's sitting upright and to the front of the book shelf. Robbie noted that the Friends group also replaced a clock that wasn't working. Mary E. would like a letter to be sent to the Friends thanking them for their attention to the needs of the library. Laura will draft a letter for Mary to review that will go to Mick to sign, as she is the new Chair. 5.5 City Council Report • Councilman Ovall stated there are no new council actions or library issues at this time;the Ice Arena project has been their focus recently and funding is the latest of their discussions. 5.6 Patron Services Supervisors Report Brandi highlighted the following from her report: • The revamped Locally Growin Fundraiser (used to be called High 5) now has 100% of the proceeds and goals staying with the local library.
