Elk River Public Library Board Page 2 <br /> July 27th,2021 <br /> 4. Open Forum <br /> 5. General Business <br /> 5.1 New Business <br /> a. Building walk through <br /> ■ Those attending walked through the building noting some <br /> maintenance issues and old CIP items as well as adding some new <br /> CIP items. Ms. Schake noted that the Wi-Fi and projector in the <br /> library community room was updated. The entry way, children's area, <br /> and fireplace seating area were first on the walk through. It was noted <br /> that the lock on one of the entry way bathrooms had a maintenance <br /> issue as well as one of the ladybug lights in the children's area had a <br /> light out. Ms. Schake will put both of those issues in for a <br /> maintenance request with the city. Mr. Femrite also stated that he and <br /> Gary Lore,building maintenance supervisor,walked the building and <br /> grounds recently and made a check list for general maintenance issues <br /> that they need to take care of. The entire facility has been updated <br /> with LED lighting and weather stripping. Ms. Schake would like to <br /> move one of the smaller upholstered chairs in the children's area into <br /> the board book area cave. The chairs do need to be reupholstered or <br /> new ones need to be purchased. The patterned upholstered chairs <br /> facing the window by the fireplace area also need to either be <br /> replaced or reupholstered. <br /> • The fiction area and public computer stations were the second area <br /> of focus. It was brought up that the rug under the upholstered chairs <br /> in the fiction area needs replacing and Ms. Schake requested that the <br /> Board consider replacing five of the computer chairs used by the <br /> public and five of the staff chairs. Ms. Schake also pointed out the <br /> shelving units that are braced. Eventually they may need to be <br /> replaced when bracing is no longer sufficient. <br /> • The teen area and study rooms were third on the walk through. The <br /> Board pointed out that a cleaning of the upholstery is needed. Ms. <br /> Schake will place that request in the city maintenance system as well. <br /> The board reviewed the cork flooring between the teen area and the <br /> computer stations. Stains and wear and tear were identified. <br /> • The staff area in the back area of the library was last on the walk <br /> through. <br /> P-IIEAEI 11 <br /> NATURE <br />
