MADISON LIBRARY DISTRICT

TRUSTEES BOARD MEETING – MINUTES

JUNE 20, 2000


    Rosemary called meeting to order about 5:20 pm.


    Madison Library Board members present were Rosemary Morrell, Nyna Moss, Brent Eames, and Roger Jackson.


    Minutes approved.


    Bills approved.


    Johnny Watson came to discuss the completion of the remodeling. He presented his final bill of $34,713.69. It was decided that two checks would be cut. One for $30,000.00 to be given at this time and another for $4,713.69 to be given when all of the final questions and problems had been taken care of. There are several small things that need to be finished — additional ceiling lights, a sound alarm on the door leading to the hall, rubber stripping around the bottoms of the shelves, locks on two of the desks, thresholds under the outside doors and the book-drop door, metal shelving attached to the wall by the copy machine, and an improved strip joining the two carpets.


    The budget meeting will be held August 15th.


    The line for the Internet computers has not been put in yet. Sharon [Nielson] will check again with Ted Kasper.


    The next board meeting will be July 18th. Sharon will be out of town. She will get the minutes and an agenda to Brent’s secretary. Roger will have a budget draft at that time.


    Sharon will ask Debora how many hours she has helped since she left so she can be paid for them.


    The landscaping needs to be worked on. Sharon will call Treehouse Nursery about the weeks in the flower beds and the grass in the sidewalk and curbing.


    Blinds need to be ordered for the large south window and the window in the board room. Check with Showcase for an estimate.


    Roger wants to find out about the grant money received and spent this last year. Sharon will call Debora.


    The director’s job was discussed. There have been very few applications for the job. Rosemary will call Frank Nelson and see if he has any suggestions.


    Sharon will contact the Idaho Librarian about having an article put in the next issue about our search for a Library Director.


    Brent moved we adjourn, Roger seconded the motion.


    Meeting adjourned at 6:35.
