Dear Library Board Members,
As much as I hate having to write this letter I find I am getting into a situation that will not improve anytime in
the near future. Since the beginning of September and the return of all the students to school, sales have
dropped drastically. I would like to discuss the option of ending my lease early. In looking at the trend for the
past 6 months things are moving decidedly downward.
have done what I can to make this area more attractive and catch people's attention as they come thru the
front doors. Everyone is always greeted and warmly welcomed but I think the economy in general, as well as,
the reduction in general traffic coming into the library makes it nearly impossible to stay. I have done multiple
mailings of coupons, handed out coupons at all my other events, ran a monthly email special and worked hard
at word of mouth. With the combination of less traffic and economic issues for everyone, sales on average are
currently at $36 a day. As I write this mysales were $22 for a Wednesday. I don't foresee any changes
throughout the rest of this year. As Mick and I have discussed, December is very slow and November may not
be much better.
would like to request that we have an ending date no later than 12/31/08, which would give me time to let
people know but won't cause me to carry the losses into 2009. I would, however, like to try to sell the coffee
cart and have the option of an earlier ending date in case it should sell.
I apologize profusely for having to make this request but as excited as everyone was about the "idea" of a
coffee bar, the reality of it is very different as you can see by the following graphs. I have removed the numbers
for some confidentiality but can assure you the very top end of any of the graphs is $120 at the highest. Thank
you for your consideration and I will keep you updated if anything happens to change this situation. I am very
thankful to have had the opportunity & your support to check out the workability of this situation and learn that
it's maybe not the right fit for Elk River at this point.
Sincerely,
9~ ~~i

2. Surveying and site layout of proposed work.
3. Stripping and removing vegetation and stripping topsoil for reuse on site (export topsoil as
required).
4. Relocation and construction of the irrigation system to account for the widened bituminous area.
5. Relocation and construction of 2 decorative electrical bollards to account for the widened
bituminous area.
6. Relocation of an existing traffic sign.
7. Grading, excavating and subgrade preparation for the widened bituminous area.
8. Exporting /importing of all materials necessary to complete the work (must be included in your
lump sum proposal).
9. Construction of bituminous pavement. Refer to the attached drawings and specifications for
requirements.
10. Grading requirements: In general, proposed grading shall match existing grades. All areas shall
be graded to drain.
11. Construction of anon-electrical bollard adjacent to the existing building.
12. Topsoil respreading and sodding.
13. Site restoration and cleanup.
Attached you will find abbreviated specifications for the above work. Please reference these when preparing
your proposal.
Your proposal shall assume that all work will be complete this fall, however, the exact dates for construction
will need to be coordinated with the City and with Library staff. Should construction be pushed to the
following calendar year, you will be allowed to adjust your proposal accordingly.
