MONTICELLO LIBRARY BOARD MEETING
Monday, April 30, 1990
Members present:
Ed Solberg, Pat Schwarz and Librarian Marge
Bauer.
Mary Jane Puncochar and Dr. Donald Maus.
Members Absent:
The meeting was called to order at 7:05 p.m. by President Ed
Solberg.
A motion was made to accept the minutes of the last meeting of
September 1989 by Ed Solberg. Seconded by Pat Schwarz.
Mrs. John Jesinski (Becky) was welcomed as a new board member to
replace Marguerite Pringle who resigned in June 1989.
New Business:
1. Marge Bauer mentioned a problem with the plastic letters
being taken from the outdoor library sign. This could be
qui te costly, as the letters are approximately $5.00
each.
2.
One cable monitor has been hooked up in the adult area of
the library. This was done free by the cable company
serving Monticello.
3. The First National Bank approached Mr. Wolfsteller at
City Hall about temporary quarters for the bank in case
of an unforseen disaster. Mr. Wolfsteller asked the
library board if the conference room can be designated as
such quarters. The Board has asked Marge Bauer to
consult the City Attorney about drafting a written
agreement. We also would like answers to several
questions:
1. If the conference room was already scheduled by a
group, who would have precedence?
2. What fee would be charged?
3. what constitutes a disaster?
4. How long is temporary?
5. What about City Hall Council Chambers as a possible
alternative?
4. Marge Bauer reported that on Wednesday, April 25, 1990,
a very windy day, a large branch fell in our parking lot
almost hitting 2 library patrons. Marge has asked John
Simola, Public Works Director, to check all the trees on
library property.
