We received an update from Jennifer concerning the estimates. We are $43,000
over our budget of 1.3 million. KKE is very comfortable with the number. 3'10 design
contingency built in and 3'10 escalation figured in. Drawings are being issued in 3
wks. Planning Commission is pre-reviewing the drawings so any issues can be
addressed.

We went over the elevations and discussed the Children's restrooms. There will be
colored ceramic tiles on 2 of the walls, with a pattern resembling a crossword
puzzle and then the other 2 walls will be painted.
Places to display public art will be available.
Construction is scheduled to begin at the end of October!
Bill asked about a budget for Grand Opening, we need to start thinking of
suggestions, do we want to invite a local author, etc.
Bill will let the board members know if we need to attend the Planning Commission
meeting at City Hall, 6:30 pm on 9/12.
Next library board meeting is on 9/26.
Karen made a motion and Allison seconded to adopt the agenda. The minutes were
approved. There was no correspondence or suggestion box.
Allison moved to accept and Mike seconded the Treasurer's Report.
Since our last meeting the board members called local libraries that have self-
checkout and Allison compiled those findings. Mick will send that info to the GRRL
Director.
Allison asked about her term, it is up in December. The city will send her a letter
and then we can proceed with replacing her.
No news business.
We adjourned at 7:30pm.
