Consider Library Shelving and Carpet Request
*Item 3.7.*
Attached for your information is a request from the Library Board to purchase some
shelving and carpeting. The Board would like to use the $3,000 that is in the Capital Outlay
category in the 2002 library budget for this expenditure. The 2002 Capital Outlay item was
for motion detectors and these motion detectors were actually purchases in late 2001 using
funds that were available within the 2001 budget. Accordingly, funds are available for this
requested expenditure.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council approve the shelving and carpeting expenditure by
way of transferring the Capital Outlay funds to operating supplies.

Dear Mr. Klaers,
I am writing to you on behalf of the Elk River Library Board.
The library currently needs additional storage behind the desk. The best estimate at this
time is for metal shelving with oak end pieces, 9-foot length for $1,665.00. However,
removing the current shelving behind the desk requires new flooring.
The cost of the entire project (shelving and carpeting) would be slightly below $3,000.00
dollars. To fund this purchase of shelving and carpeting, the Board members are
requesting that the $3,000.00 from the Capital Outlay line item be transferred to this
project.
I appreciate your attention to this matter. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any
questions or concerns. I can be reached at home (763-274-1987) or at work (763-862-
4376).
Sincerely,
Jeri Miller
Secretary, Elk River Library Board
