University City Library board meeting minutes, 6/24/2009 <br />None. <br />Old business <br />None. <br />Actions <br />a. A member moved to approve year-end budget transfers and additions to line items as <br />indicated in the June 23, 2009 statement of revenues and expenditures and to allow Linda <br />to make further individual changes that are less than $1000 or less than 10% of the total <br />line item, per item. The fiscal year end has the library at or slightly below the total expenses budgeted a year ago; total tax revenues are slightly ahead of forecast. The <br />motion was seconded and approved. <br />b. Member Lieberman moved that the board accept the preliminary design for the roof <br />replacement which includes construction of a parapet to allow for additional insulation <br />and sloped drainage, and the skylight design as it was presented this evening. The motion was seconded by member Walker. The motion was approved. <br />c. Member Baldwin moved that the bid from Opinion Research Specialists (ORS) be <br />accepted for doing a telephone survey of library users and non-users, subject to ORS <br />reducing the number of people surveyed so that the total expense is no more than the <br />grant the library received from the Missouri State Library, and that the library is allowed to select a provider who is not the lowest bidder. Board members liked the proposal from <br />ORS because they intend to identify and survey an equal number of both resident card <br />holders and those that are non-users and because ORS would bring a fresh view to <br />questions since they are from Springfield M0, not the St. Louis area. Questions <br />developed for the survey will be distributed to board members for review. The motion was seconded by member Lieberman. The motion was approved. <br />New business <br />a. Susan Pruchnicki of Bond Wolfe presented the firm's design concepts for the roof <br />replacement and skylight. The board's discussion asked Bond Wolfe to include screens on the skylight window sections that would be open for ventilation if it is feasible, to <br />prevent any intrusion by animals. The roof line changes are minimally visible from the <br />ground and the skylight design will give much better natural light to the atrium. New <br />energy efficient lighting fixtures inside the skylight will restore night-time lighting that <br />has been missing because the original lights are not reachable for bulb replacement. The new skylight will allow bulb replacements. <br />b. We can expect to meet a couple of times to review final plans and bids once Bond Wolfe <br />releases the announcement. It will be two to three weeks before they complete the bid <br />package. <br />Adjournment The next regularly scheduled meeting is on August 26, 2009 at S:15pm. <br />The meeting adjourned at 6:30p.m., 6/24/2009. <br />Larry Nolan -Board Secretary <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
