La Grange Park Public Library Meeting Minutes of March 23, 2010

The Board of Trustees of the La Grange Park Public Library met at 7:04 p.m. in regular session on Tuesday, March 23, 2010.

Call to Order/Roll Call

The meeting was called to order by President Hurley. Upon roll call, the following persons were present: Trustees, Foster, Kaminski, Dominguez and Hurley. Kate Zdenek was present for Executive Director, Dixie Conkis who was absent.  Trustees Fagan, Cavaliere and Lee were also absent.

Introduction of Visitor(s)

Craig Nowicki and Mike Semo of Control Engineering and Norm and Dan Eallonardo of Independent Construction Services were present. Craig Nowicki of Control Engineering gave his report regarding the baseboard radiation  controls.  He presented a detailed printed report showing each baseboard radiation zone and each breaker panel. He stated that there were 16 radiation zones of heat that he and his crew tested on a Saturday morning two weeks ago.  They spent 15 hours of work on the testing.  They had to figure which breaker panel controlled each zone.  Their findings indicated only 6 units needed work and they could not locate panel #23.  Also, the pump room does not have a heater and it should have.

They performed another testing with a thermometer to see if the heat was even across the baseboards and they were except for the front hallway's baseboard.  It was dirty so they vacuumed it and now it's okay. They strongly recommend cleaning the baseboards on a regular basis.

As for panel #23 - they will review the old drawings of the building and then reccommend disconnecting the panel. The repair of six units includes a new thermostat and possibly a new safety part.

They found a problem with two breakers. One breaker had an oil substance on it so they called the manufacturer and they said to send the breaker to them for analysis and they would send a new breaker free of charge.  The other breaker has two problems and need to be replaced.

Norm Eallonardo agreed with all the findings of Craig Nowicki.  Norm addressed the Board about his letter to Executive Director, Dixie Conkis about potential Construction Manager Services for the future.

La Grange Park Public Library Meeting Minutes of March 22, 2011

 

 

The Board of Trustees of the La Grange Park Public Library met at 7:00 p.m. in regular session on Tuesday, March 22, 2011

 

Call to Order/Roll Call

The meeting was called to order by President Hurley. Upon roll call, the following persons were present: Trustees Hurley, Lee, Fagan, Kaminski, Dominguez, and Foster.  Trustee Cavaliere was absent.  Executive Director Conkis was present.

                                                                    

Introduction of Visitor(s)

Roger Ritzman of Peregrine, Stime, Ritzman & Bruckner, Ltd. introduced himself.  He provided an overview of the Open Meetings Act.  The Board discussed what we are requirements for the website.  Committees must post agendas 48 hours before meeting and take minutes.  Agendas – if you’re taking final action on an item, it must be on the agenda. Items can be considered which are not on the agenda, but you can’t take final action on them.  E-mail: procedural issues OK.  If we distribute information items such as articles, best to say ‘please do not respond’.  For a closed session, the motion needs to specify a valid reason and requires a roll call vote.  Valid reasons include discussion of performance of a specific employee and real estate transactions.  Tapes must be kept for 18 months.  Minutes should identify the subject matter in general terms.  He recommended the Illinois Municipal League booklet as a reference.

 

Minutes of Previous Meeting(s)

Trustee Dominguez moved to approve the Regular Minutes of  February 22, 2011 and the motion passed.

 

Treasurer’s Report

Trustee Dominguez moved to approve the Invoices to be Paid in the amount of $29,582.27 for the month of March 2011 and motion passed 6-0 following a roll call vote.  

 

Committee Reports

a)      Finance Committee – Cathy met with Jeff Kraus of Wayne Hummer.  Illinois Fund pays a very low interest rate and we’ve placed most of our funds into a Wayne Hummer money market.  Mr. Kraus suggested putting funds into a managed account where we pay an annual fee and a percentage fee.  Funds are invested in FDIC insured vehicles such as CDs. CDs would be laddered so that there’s liquidity. The Treasurer has the authority to make this decision and the Board agreed that they support this move.

 

We received good news from Secretary of State’s office that the per capita grant was approved in the amount of $13,605.17 and funds must be obligated by June 2012.

 

b)      Policy and Personnel Committee – The Committee reviewed the Ethics Statement, Library Bill of Rights, and Rules of Conduct. The staff will review the Identity Protection Policy and Director Conkis will refer to our attorney a question about whether it applies to employees also.  The Board will vote next month on all of the revised policies.  The Board agreed to add an item to the agenda quarterly for a progress discussion with the Executive Director as a more effective way to evaluate performance, rather than waiting til year-end. The Board will go into Executive Session for these quarterly evaluations since it involves a specific performance evaluation.

 

c)      Library Development Committee – no report

 

Unfinished Business

Status of the review of minutes -- ongoing

Strategic Planning: Director Conkis reported on meetings with staff.  They are revisiting their goals. Mary Jane is facilitating a session with staff.  On  April 5 at 7pm she will facilitate a SWOT with the Board.

Library trustee election is April 5.  The new Board will be sworn in at the May meeting.  Candidates for the open trustee seat can be interviewed after the new Board is sworn in.

 

New Business

Trustee Foster moved that we approve Roger Ritzman as Library’s new attorney and the motion passed.

 

Communications, Correspondence and Meetings

 

Reports

Trustee Foster noted that the Friends gives money quarterly now rather than earmarking funds for specific items.  She noted that bookshop donations are down which leads to speculation that new book drops in neighboring parking lots are causing the decline.

 

Open Discussion

Integrys Energy Services won the bid for providing electricity to the library consortium at a savings of 10.6%

Director Conkis cited several pieces of publicity including an article in the Trip Local on adult computer classes at the Library.

A new name is being considered for the new merged system.

Unfinished Business

Trustee Fagan working on recommendation to destroy records of closed meetings in compliance with Open Meetings Act.

Strategic Plan – The Board had several criticisms of the draft Strategic Plan: it does not seem customized for our community, the current economic environment or contemporary technical advances.  The Board indicated it did not seem to respond to many of the findings from the community survey such as recommendations on target audience, lack of awareness of some services, attendance at children’s programs, emphasis on senior citizens and comments regarding the adult book collection.  They also indicated that they did not understand some of the wording, such as “programs on lifelong learning”.  Director Conkis explained that the plan followed the rubric recommended by Public Library Association and that this might explain some of what the Board regarded as shortcomings. The Board suggested we meet with Mary Jane Kepner for a SWOT review per her original proposal.

Schematic design project – Board recommended that we wait until we hear about the grant before going ahead with the design project.

 

New Business

Roger Ritzman of Peregrine, Stime, Newman, Ritzman and Bruckner Ltd. will appear at the March board meeting to introduce himself and to discuss identity protection.  Director Conkis passed around information on his credentials and recommended that we use him as the new library attorney to replace Tim Stratton as he has extensive experience in library law.

Open Discussion

Trustee Foster brought up creative ideas to promote the library such as hosting Scrabble games and a young adult book club at a restaurant.

Trustee Lee mentioned that her husband, Jeff Lee, does occasional carpentry work for the library at the rate of $15 per hour. 

Trustee Lee asked why the Director’s salary is listed as ‘set by Board’ in the LACONI survey when most other libraries list the salary.  Director Conkis explained that this policy was adopted some time ago because the current information was not available in time for the publication.

 

Trustee Kaminski moved to adjourn at 8:38 pm and the motion passed.
