University City Library board meeting minutes, 1/10/2007 6. President’s report None. 7. Committee reports Ed Hansell reviewed the suggestions of the building and grounds committee’s walk-through conducted on January 9, 2007. Nine items and concerns were noted. Ed suggested that this year the library should give priority to (a) replacing the automatic doors, (b) fixing the broken restroom tiles on the first floor and the settlement patching as well as reseting the commode in the Gallery area men’s room, (c) replacing lighting in two small meeting rooms (and perhaps adding track lighting above the new books stacks by the stairway), (d) replacing the walkways from the parking lot and from the Delmar sidewalk, (e) paint the exterior ironwork, (f) repair, reseal, re-stripe the driveway. Two items of concern because of the expected high expense are: the roof, which should be inspected in spring 2007, and the building air handlers. It was suggested that the long range planning committee look at having money in the library budget that is set aside to build up a reserve targeted at these two items. A motion was made to have an action for approval on next month’s meeting agenda that would raise the $1000 limit at which bids are necessary for purchase for services and materials. It is felt that the current limit is too low and unnecessarily burdensome. A higher limit of $2000 - $3000 was suggested. 8. Old business Linda loaned Larry Nolan her copy of the 2006 actuarial valuation for the non-uniformed employees retirement plan (the library employees are part of this plan) to see if the report answers the questions that the library board asked in October 2006. 9. New business February 6 is the annual legislative day in Jefferson City; board members are invited to attend to meet with our local representatives in state government. 10. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 5:55p.m. on 1/10/2007. Larry Nolan – Board secretary Page 2 of of 2
