<br />Minutes <br />Elk River Library Board Meeting <br />February 28, 2006 <br /> <br />The meeting was called to order at 6:30pm. Mick Stoffers, Karen Stelk, Allison <br />Olson, Ann Schroeder, John Dietz, Mike Hangaard and Donna Martin were in <br />attendance. Bill Maertz from the City and Joan Allen from GRRL were present as <br />guests. A quorum was established, agenda adopted. <br /> <br />Bill gave an update on the library expansion and the recent development regarding <br />the YMCA and the Library being one building. Allison motioned to accept, Mike <br />seconded and the Board voted unanimously to keep the original site for the Library <br />across from City Hall and as a separate building. <br /> <br />Bill also discussed the Energy City Commission's LEED Certification Program. <br />Simple payback for high performance building, libraries estimated time frame 2.1 <br />yrs. Grant money is available; it would add 5'10 onto cost of building. This is to go in <br />front of the City Council at their March 13th meeting. Should not impact the length <br />of time to build the library. Recognizing there is an added value and the potential <br />to recover funds in 2.1 years we recommend using the program for construction <br />based on LEED. Karen made a motion to accept, Allison seconded it. <br /> <br />The minutes from November to current and the Treasurer Report were approved. <br />No correspondence or suggestion box. <br /> <br />Mick presented the Librarians Report, passed out current statistics and went over <br />accomplishments. <br /> <br />New Business- <br />Community wide book discussion on "Kite Runner" is in the works. <br />21.5 additional staff hours have been given to the library. 6 hours have been <br />assigned to existing staff and 15.5 are for a new position. <br /> <br />Allison moved to adjourn at 7:40pm, Mike seconded. <br />
