The following members of the Library Board were present Library Board
at the Council meeting: Mr. Edward Snyder, Mrs. Mattie present at
Owens, and Mr. Gil Ross; also, Mrs. Gladys Alexander, Council
Librarian, and Mr. Ben ParkQr, Architect.
The matter of maintenance for the new Library Building
was discussed, and it is the opinion of the City Council
that the maintenance of the new building should be in-
cluded in the Library budget.
Move& by Councilman Ortuno, seconded by Councilman
Fawcett, and unanimously carried that the Council
policy be that general custodial service to the Library
be at, Library expense, and that the Library Board be
enabled to employ maintenance service for the heavier
type,of cleaning.
The general landscaping for the new building is to be
provided,by the City with exceptional expenses to be
from•Library fund's.
Mrs. Owens asked if the City had any policy relative
to charges for the use of the community room. The
Library Board was informed that the schedule of rates
-prepared for the Recreation Building could be used as
a guide for them in establishing charges.
Mr.'Snyder presented the problem of taking care of the
rock collection which is in the Library Building and
the expense involved in properly displaying this col-
lection. Mr. Ben Parker, Architect, reported that
the plan of display originally considered has been
determined to be unfeasible and a new layout is being
worked out.
Due to the fact that the furnishings have not been in-
stalled, the City Attorney was requested to consider
amending the contract on the installation of the floor-
ing, with sufficient funds held in reserve to cover
this item. This would enable the general contractor
to receive his final draw, with the City withholding
less than 10% as it normally does until the Notice of
Completion is filed and the lien period fulfilled.
Moved,by Councilman Fawcett, seconded by Councilman
Johnson, and ordered carried that the meeting be
adjourned.
