Meeting was called to order at 6:35 p.m. by Chair McNair.
The first item of business was a discussion led by Brian
Adams of the Elk River Utilities regarding additions to our
present security system. Various options were discussed
and the Board feels that an upgrade in security is definitely
warranted. Brian will prepare a list of options and costs '
for the Board to review next month.
Minutes from' January were approved with a motion by Gerry
and a second by Leslie. All in favor.
There was no correspondence or suggestions items to discuss.
No treasurer's report this month.
OLD BUSINESS
Y2K Problems Associated With Heating/Air Conditioning Controls:
Murray discussed the Y2K problem with UHL and it appears we
will be compliant. They will send a letter to the Board confirming
compliance.
Shelving: The city has moved the existing shelving in the
reference section so there will be room for four additional
ranges. Shelving has been ordered at a cost of $1,640.00
delivered and installed.
Handicapped Accessible Door: Mick had information from
Automated Entrance Products that appear to meet our needs.
However further information is necessary before a decision
can be made so this issue was tabled until next month.
NEW BUSINESS
Changing Stations In Restrooms: Murray will review information
received and if appropriate for our needs Mick will order them.
Clock Repair: The clock at the front desk is not operating;
the person who usually does the repair has moved. Leslie
will check on repair.
Display Case: Mick will check into prices of a display case
that could be mounted outside and used to post brochures,
city hall agendas and other appropriate literature.
Microfilm Reader/Printer: Our reader/printer is outdated and
the parts are not replaceable. Mick had information on
purchasing a new one. Board discussed this; Gerry offered
to investigate grant writing to pay for one. Mick will also
get further information for the Board to review next month.
Annual Report: Board members received a copy of the annual
report and were advised to read it and to plan on attending
the Council meeting when it is presented.
Respectfully submitted,
Eleanor Holm
