Members: Dr. Joel Erickson, Ervin Kallin, Loren Klein, Dr. Don Maus, Patricia Schwarz, and Marge Bauer (ex-officio). 1. Public Comments. 2. Approval of the Minutes of the Library Board Meeting held on February 20, 1982. 3. Comments on the Action of the February 20, 1982 Meeting. A. Draperies. . At the February 20, 1982 meeting, the board authorized the purchase of draperies for the new library provided that those draperies were within the dollar amount budgeted for drapes. Since favorable quotes had been received, it was determined that draperies should be ordered. However, considering the amount of light given into the building through the windows and the fact that the lights need to be turned on in the library even on the brightest day, Klein and Bauer determined that draperies should be ordered at this time only for the Community Room to be used as a room darkening device, and the other draperies would not be ordered unless it was determined at a subsequent time that they would be necessary. Thus, the only draperies on order and soon to be placed are those which are coming from Decorative Services for the Community Room to act as room darkeners when films come, etc. and would be shown. B. Chairs and tables ordered. At the February 20th meeting, approval was also given to pur- chase half of the required chairs for the Community Room and also the 8 tables which would be used in the Community Room. As of this date, the 32 chairs, which constitutes one half of the ultimate amount to be ordered, and the tables have arrived. However, the tables which arrived were of the wrong finish and new tables have been placed on order. While waiting for the new tables to arrive, Mr. Bud Schrupp of Golden Valley Furni- ture has authorized the use of the incorrectly ordered tables until such time as the new tables do arrive. . - 1 - . Library Board Agenda - 5/20/82 C. Locks have been rekeyed. At the February 20th meeting, the board also agreed that a locksmith should be hired to rekey the library door locks. As of this date, the locks have been rekeyed and there are two types of keys, one which will get you through the front pair of doors into the foyer and also through the second pair of doors into the library and the rest of the building, and also one key which will get you through the front pair of doors into the foyer and thus through the foyer into the Community Room and give you access to the bath rooms and kitchenette area only. D. Smoking policy. At the February 20th meeting, the Library Board determined that the Monticello Library should use the same smoking policy as is used in the Minneapolis Public Library. In checking out that situation with the Minneapolis Public Library, it was determined that a "No Smoking" in the building policy would be adhered to and thus a sign has been placed in the foyer that says "Smoking Permitted in Designated Areas Only". To further that clarification of policy, smoking is then allowed in the work room area for the library staff. Also, smoking will be permitted in Community Room on a basis where smoker will sit on the right side of the room and non-smokers on the left side. However, if a complaint is made about smoking in the Community Room then no smoking will be allowed in the Community Room at all and those who desire to smoke will have to go into the foyer or outside. . 4. Report on the CUrrent Status of Construction. A. At the time the library took occupancy of the building, a couple of months ago a punch list was made of items yet to be com- pleted both inside and outside of the building. Since that time the contractor has asked for a final punch list which has now been completed. At this time, those people who have final items on that punch list are working on those items. You might also want to be aware that the former superintendent on the job, Mr. Ron Schlief, is no longer with the Cates Construction Company, the general contractor on the project, and that there is a new superintendent on the job who is hoping to correct those problems and mistakes which were made in the past. Hope- fully, the items on the final punch list will be completed relatively soon. . B. As you may have read in the newspaper, at the last Council meeting in April, the Council decided they wanted to have the sprinkler system and lawn planted immediately to take advantage of the cool spring weather for planting grass. However, because the outside of the building still has a substantial number of small items to be completed and in completing those items the contractor would most likely be abusing the newly planted grass, if planted, the sprinkler and landscaping contractor is holding off on the installation of the yard so that no damage will occur once the lawn is seeded. - 2 - . . . Library Board Agenda - 5/20/82 C. You might want to be aware that Heskin's Electric and Ron Schlief have both filed liens against the bond on the build- ing complaining that they have not been paid monies due them on the library project, and also monies due them from another project upon which the same bond that was used on the library is applied. 5. Lighting for the Parking Lot. As of the date of this writing, Augusta Electric of Clearwater has submitted a proposal to the Library Board for placing the lighting fixtures around the parking lot. That figure which was given to the Library Board is $4,775.00 upon completion. At this time, we are awaiting one or possibly two more bids on this project before we would let this contract. However, if no more bids are submitted by the time of the meeting on Thursday, May 20th, the board would be within its authority to authorize the expenditure of funds to have the lighting placed around the parking lot. 6. Consideration of Purchase of a Bike Rack. Unfortunately, during the planning of the new facility, no consideration was given for a bike rack in which patrons could park bicycles when inside the library. Consequently, it would be a proposal to authorize approximately $150.00 for the purchase of a bike rack to be placed outside the building, preferably near the parking lot, for the patrons to park bicycles. Also, consideration should be given to authorizing a concrete pad upon which the bike rack and bicycles could set to prevent mud from being tracked into the library from the area where bicycles are parked. 7. Consideration of Change Order for Library Shelving. Gene Walters, proprietor of Walters Cabinet Shop, has submitted a bill for upcharges for additional items which were added to the shelving during the time of the shelving construction. Those items are as follows: A. Changing one of the shelves from 12 inches inches deep to accommodate the glass doors donated to the library by the Rotary Club. add on charge of $115.44. deep to 15 which were This is an - 3 - Library Board Agenda - 5/20/82 . B. The record bins which were included in original contract were altered somewhat to make better accommodation and use of those record bins. That change resulted in a $176.93 add on charge. c. When the contract was written for the library shelving, the architect failed to include one round table to be used in the adult reading area. That table was an additional charge of $308.00. D. The circulation desk has a card catalogue consisting of 15 drawers in it which was donated to the library. Mr. Walters charged an additional $60.00 for refinishing this card catalogue so that it would blend with the finish on the new circulation desk. The purchase of a new card catalogue would'have cost ap- proximately $550.00. E. The pay telephone in the hall is mounted on a plastic laminated board to assure a stable anchoring to the wall. There was an add on charge of $51.80 for that item. The previous 5 items brings a total of $712.17 for add on charges for the shelving which was ordered. Thus, the original total of $22,178.49 with the addition of $712.17 brings the total on the shelving contract, if authorized, to $22,890.66 of which all but $500 for refinishing 3 of the free standing shelving units and the $712.17 add on charge have been paid. . 8. Approval of the Janitor's Services Agreement. Mr. Jerry Hermes has been contracted for 60 days to do cleaning and other labors as are required in and around the library. At this time Mr. Hermes is working for $4.00 per hour for his clean- ing services. Mr. Hermes started cleaning in the library on April 23rd and has done what the librarian has considered an out- standing job since that time. Mr. Hermes comes in during the after hours period and does the cleaning and other miscellaneous chores that might be required in and around the library. It would be a recommendation that we consider retaining Mr. Hermes for another 30 days to allow him to become accustomed to the janitorial services which the library requires, and to allow the librarian to observe which services mayor may not be needed. At the end of that 30 days, Mr. Hermes has indicated that he would be willing to enter a contract to do a certain and specified amount of work for the library for a specific dollar amount per month. Consideration should be given to authorizing the employment of Mr. Hermes either on a temporary basis at so much per hour until the new library board meeting, or else consideration should be given to authorizing the hiring of Mr. Hermes at a fixed dollar amount per month at the end of his 30 day trial period which comes approximately June 15, 1982. . - 4 - . . . Library Board Agenda - 5/20/82 Of the $204 which is now owed Mr. Hermes for janitorial services, $116 is to be paid from the janitor services fund from the library fund which was part of the 1982 budget. The other $88 would be paid from the construction funds for the library, since Mr. Hermes was doing work which was relative to clean up from construction. 9. Approval of the Librarian's Petty Cash Expenditures. The City Council authorized a petty cash fund of $200 for the librarian (This fund may be raised or lowered by the Library Board's choice, the $200 figure was only arbitrary until such time as the Library Board met at its next meeting and took up the issue. This was authorized by the Council to expedite monies for the librarian to purchase items needed for the new library at the time of the opening). At the meeting Marge can present the bills for the items which she spent out of petty cash and thus, the Library Board can authorize the administrative assistant for the city to replenish the petty cash fund either after approval of the petty cash expenditures by the Library Board or whenever the librarian needs additional funds because those in the petty cash funds have been expended. 10. Discussion of the Community Room Policy. Enclosed, you will find a copy of the Great River Regional Library's public meeting room policy and also the Buffalo Public Library Meeting Room policy. Consideration should be given to these two policies, which are very similar in nature, for recommendation to a permanent policy. However, it would be a recommendation at this time that a hard and fast policy not be set until the meeting during the summer months, at which time input can also be gathered from Mr. Duane Gates of the Community Education & Recreation Department, so that the policy for the library's Community Room and also the policy for the school facilities meeting rooms can be considered jointly and possible continuity between the two policies could be established. Mr. Gates anticipates that the task force from the Community Education organization will establish the criteria for their policy sometime during the summer months, so that the new policy can be instituted at the start of the new school year on September 1, 1982. 11. Discussion of the new AV Equipment Purchase. Enclosed with your agenda supplement, you will find descriptions of several pieces of AV equipment which were recommended by Luther Rotto, media services coordinator, for the Great River Regional Library. These items which Luther has recommended for considera- tion by the Monticello Library Board for purchasing for the AV equipment are items which are of a commercial nature, and therefore, a more heavy duty item than would normally be found in a public institution or where several or many people might be using the items as opposed to those items which would be used in a residential application. The total dollar amount for these items which Mr. Rotto - 5 - . . . Library Board Agenda - 5/20/82 has recommended comes to $4,715.70. There is money within the budget for the purchase of these items. Also, there is a pro- posal from Flicker's T.V. & Appliance for similar items. These items proposed from Flicker's, however, are of a residential type nature rather than the heavy duty quality which Mr. Rotto has suggested. Luther Rotto will be present at the Library Board meeting on Thursday evening to hopefully answer any or all questions that members of the Library Board may have and also to gather infor- mation to seek a direction for the purchase of whatever AV equip- ment the board determines the library should have. If Luther comes early for the meeting, since he does come from St. Cloud for our meeting and specifically for our meeting, we may move him up on the agenda so that he may take care of his business and leave, at which time we can continue with the agenda where we left off. 12. Discussion of Computer Equipment. Included also in your agenda package is some information about small computers which some libraries are considering and pur- chasing for patron use. This item is strictly for your informa- tion and will be something that will be taken up at a later board meeting for discussion, although if the board chooses, some dis- cussion can be had on this item at our Thursday night meeting. 13. Unfinished Business. Discussion of the library board budget. 14. New Business. 15. Adjournment. - 6 - .. ."...'"'-"c.....

THE MOVIE CONVERTER OUTPUT ON REAR OF W.SX4 PROVIDES A TAP OFF OF THE CABLE INPUT TO FEED BACK TO THE MOVIE CONVERTER'S INPUT. THUS, NOW ALL CABLE CHANNELS CAN BE SELECTED ON ANY OF THE OUTPUTS BY PUSHING THE CABLE BUTTON. THE MOVIE OR PREMIUM CHANNELS CAN BE SELECTED BY PUSHING THE MOVIE BUTTON ON THE FRONT PANEL OF THE SW.SX4. AND TUNING ANY OF THE OUTPUT COM- PONENTS, TO CHANNEL 3 OR 4 OR WHAT EVER IS THE OUTPUT CHANNEL OF THE CONVERTER. EXAMPLE: TV 1 WANTS TO WATCH REGULAR CABLE. BY PUSHING CABLE BUTTON ON TV 1 SECTION OF SW.SX4's FRONT PANEL THE TV 1 NOW CAN TUNE ANY OF CHANNELS 2 THROUGH 13, OR ANY MID OR SUPER CHANNELS THE TV CAN RECEIVE. EXAMPLE: TV 1 WANTS TO WATCH THE PREMIUM CHAN- NELs FROM THE MOVIE CONVERTER. PUSH MOVIE BUTTON ON TV 1 SECTiON OF SW.5X4. TUNE TV TO EITHER CHANNEL 3 OR 4 (FURTHER PAY CHANNELS MAY BE AVAILABLE BY SELEC- TION ON YOUR CONVERTER BOX). EXAMPLE: TV 1 WANTS TO WATCH TAPE 1 OR TAPE 2.

MacArthur Blvd., Suite 109 Santa Ana, California 92704 I( " INPUTS INPUTS ABOUT YOUR VIDEO COMMANDER Your new VIDEO COMMANDER Model 43 is rnade with the finest of materials Jnd electronic technology and is designed to be maintenance free for years to come. This switching system can accept uf) to 4 different sources of "RF" TV signals at one time and provide the flexibility of using all sources without having to connect or disconnect portions of the system in order to use your equipment. To better understand the operation of this unit, a few words about R.F. switching design should prove helpful. PLEASE READ (we promise to not get too technical). To supply an R.F. signal to 2, 3, or 4 TV sets (or VCRs), a device called a "splitter" is used. These devices, while relatively efficient. DO weaken the signals that pass through them. The INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS To connect Video Commander'. and your video equipment, fol- low these simple instructions. 1. Select a location for your Video Commander'. on or near your TV set. 2. Connect your outside antenna to the antenna input of your Video Commander'. . Cable TV subscribers: see I tern 7.

PLEASE READ r more outputs the splitter provides, the more signal is lost. This loss is termed the "insurtion loss" of the device. In order to minimize this loss, the VIDEO COMMANDER' Model 43 utilizes the output switch found on all hO/lle VCRs usu. ally labeled: "VCR.TV" or "VIDEO-TV." This switch determines the output signal{s} to the TV set connected to the VCR. In the TV position of this switch, ANY signal present at the input termi- nal is passed on to the output terminal. In the VCR position of the switch, ON L Y the VCR's own channel 3 (or 4) signal appears at the output for viewing a tape playback or for monitoring what the VCR is recording. This switch makes it possible to provide antenna/cable signals to a TV and a VCR at the same time without using a splitter! I n all other home video switchers, 3-way or 4.way splitters are used to provide the necessary outputs. The unique design of or 4 TV sets (or VCRs). a ;e devices, while relatively pass through them.

According to a report filed with 1.1 by Palmquist, Bridgeport is not the Ilrst Connecticut community to lose govern- ment documents to a departing official who would not part with the papers marking his tenure; a Hartford mayor did the same thing. Three state stat- utes, incidentally, forbid the removal or destruction of city records. Chicago. Illinois has thriving computer center The Friends of the Chicago Public Li- brary have invested in hardware (an Apple 48K computer) and software (over 600 programs) for an experimen- tal Personal Computer Center that could be the prototype for others in the CPL system. Branch Librarian Patrick Dewey told L1 that the center attracts clients from toddlers to old people, and most patrons have to book ahead. Av- erage time at the computer is 1.5 hours. Most users have no experience (31.8 percent) or are beginners (57.7 per- cent). Although most users are geo- graphically close to the library (43.5 percent are within two blocks; 24.7 percent, two blocks to a mile), close to 30 percent travel over two miles to get to the center. North-Pulaski has a lively newslet- ter, Public Compurillg, to keep Chica- goans abreast of programs available at the center, the full range of equipment available, and plans for the future. The library took steps to find out how its current users found out about the cen- ter: for 30.05, it was a friend; 40.05, a librarian; 21.1 percent, a flyer; and 8.8 percent, a newspaper. Its poll also identified software programs most popular with its clients: games came out ahead with 48.24 per- cent, followed closely by business pro- grams (47.06) and education (35.29 per- cent). The center has two active volun- teers and is recruiting for more. It has just launched a series of computer liter- acy short courses and is buying more computer magazines. Plans include opening facilities to local computer clubs and starting a "computer book club." North-Pulaski looks to be a pio- neer in the personal computer service field. Delivery edges out mail service in North State system ratings A comparative evaluation of van deliv- ery versus the U.S. mails, conducted by the North State Cooperative li- brary System in Willows, California, found that for the five cooperating sys- tems in NSClS both modes of delivery improved in the one year since the last test. They logged respectable one day deliveries of 62 percent for the vans and 59 percent for the mails. The sys- tem van boosted its same day delivery service from a mere six percent to 30; the mails, in contrast, cannot providc same day service. But given two days delivery time, the Postal Service bcat the van with a delivery rate of 86 percent to 75 per- cent. Tri-System is an lSCA demon- stration project; North State finds its delivery services less expcnsive in terms of staff time required for packing and shipping. : i , .
