Mick Stoffers, Karen Stelk, Ann <br />Schroeder, Donna Martin, Allison Olson, and Mike Hangaard were in attendance. <br />Joan Allen from GRRL, Bill Maertz from the City, Jennifer and Cara from KKE were <br />present as guests. <br /> <br />We received an update from Jennifer concerning the estimates. We are $43,000 <br />over our budget of 1.3 million. KKE is very comfortable with the number. 3'10 design <br />contingency built in and 3'10 escalation figured in. Drawings are being issued in 3 <br />wks. Planning Commission is pre-reviewing the drawings so any issues can be <br />addressed. <br /> <br />-6,_"" ,". <br /> <br />We went over the elevations and discussed the Children's restrooms. There will be <br />colored ceramic tiles on 2 of the walls, with a pattern resembling a crossword <br />puzzle and then the other 2 walls will be painted. <br /> <br />Places to display public art will be available. <br /> <br />Construction is scheduled to begin at the end of October! <br /> <br />Bill asked about a budget for Grand Opening, we need to start thinking of <br />suggestions, do we want to invite a local author, etc. <br /> <br />Bill will let the board members know if we need to attend the Planning Commission <br />meeting at City Hall, 6:30 pm on 9/12. <br /> <br />Next library board meeting is on 9/26. <br /> <br />Karen made a motion and Allison seconded to adopt the agenda. The minutes were <br />approved. There was no correspondence or suggestion box. <br /> <br />Allison moved to accept and Mike seconded the Treasurer's Report. <br /> <br />Since our last meeting the board members called local libraries that have self- <br />checkout and Allison compiled those findings. Mick will send that info to the GRRL <br />Director. <br /> <br />Allison asked about her term, it is up in December. The city will send her a letter <br />and then we can proceed with replacing her. <br /> <br />No news business. <br /> <br />We adjourned at 7:30pm. <br />
