Approved unanimously. <br />Correspondence: None. There were no suggestions from the public suggestion box. <br />Treasurer's Report of September 5, 2001: <br />A motion was made by Anderson, seconded by Holm to approve Treasurer's Report of <br />September 5, 2001. Approved unanimously. <br />Librarian's report by Mick Stoffers: <br />Old Business: An updated list of Library Board members was distributed. <br />Prep work has started on the exterior painting job. Steve Greene expects to finish the <br />work within a week, depending on weather conditions. We've requested that Andy's Electric <br />install motion detectors, however a date has not been set for the work to be done. When <br />the librarian asked the company for a date, they were unable to say when, just that the <br />library is on its list of projects to be completed. Yard maintenance projects: the dead tree <br />has been removed, with the stump still remaining to be removed. The damaged light pole <br />has been removed and is being repaired. The summer reading sign has not yet been <br />removed. <br />New Business: The librarian has learned that timing is appropriate to submit a <br />request for funding from the American Legion. She has filled out the application forms and <br />will seek funds for the Pac tables (for two new computer terminals) that the library needs. <br />The American Legion has also ordered a new American flag for the library. <br />Oleksowicz reported that GRRL is investigating ways to add word processing software <br />for the public's use to GRRL's overall software system. All GRRL branch libraries receive <br />requests from the public for word processing. If this new service becomes available in the <br />future, the Elk River library will have the public use the computers currently available for <br />Internet. GRRL continues to search for a new director. Interviews are scheduled for <br />November and a new director is expected to begin in January. <br />Next meeting is October 23, 2001. <br />Meeting adjourned at 7:OOpm. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Geraldine Graham, Secretary <br />
