            Ms. Falasz-Peterson reported on the presentation she made on June 15 at the Bradley Institute for School and Public Librarians on our Gaming to Get Fit grant and managing technology in a public library.

 

            Ms. Falasz-Peterson asked the board what kind of repairs they want to do on the current building since we are in a building project.   Mrs. Herring stated that she felt that repairs should be dealt with depending on how inconvenient it is for staff and customers.

 

            Ms. Falasz-Peterson asked the board if they’d be interested in prosecuting the person responsible for the graffiti on the ATM, if the police would find him.  The board stated that they would be interested.

 

            Ms. Falasz-Peterson asked the board that as we move forward with our building project, what they envision Fred Schlipf’s role to be.  Mr. Johnston thinks the library may contact him again when we begin working on the interior of the building.  Mrs. Herring stated that we would want him to help with lighting as that is his expertise.  Mrs. Herring would hate to proceed without someone in the library field reviewing and having some input.  The board decided to contact him when we get closer to the design stage.

 

            As part of the FY11 per capita grant application, the board discussed the newly revised Illinois Public Library Standards.  Mr. Lasswell asked if there were any changes.  Ms. Falasz-Peterson stated that a chapter on PR/Marketing has been added.

 

            Mr. Lasswell reported on the building committee meetings.  He stated that we are waiting on the comments from the attorneys regarding the architect contract.

 

            M/S/P (Herring/Coziahr) to table the approval of the PCM+d and PSA contracts.

 

            M/S/P (Cole/Coziahr) to adopt Prevailing Wage Ordinance #10-255.

           

            M/S/P (Johnston/Humphrey) to approve the Fiscal Year 2011 working budget. 

 

            M/S/P (Johnston/Cole) to approve Clifton, Gunderson as the library’s auditors.

 

            Mrs. Herring reported on ALS news.  She reported that the state is requiring that the Illinois systems merge into one system.

 

            Mr. Johnston moved to adjourn at 6:35 p.m.
