Old Business : None
New Business
1. Trustees completed an evaluation of the library director.
2. Ameren Grant : The total for replacing the current light bulbs with more efficient led bulbs will be approximately $7859.00. There may be a rebate of approximately $1500.00 available. The proceeds from the Friend’s annual Bakeless Bake Sale will go towards the lighting. It is also possible that funds from tort liability could be used to help pay for the new light bulbs, since lighting is a safety issue. The more efficient bulbs should lower the cost of the monthly electric bills.
3. Per Capita Grant Requirements : As part of the requirements for the Per Capita Grant, trustees will review Chapter 5, “Safety” of “Serving Our Public 3.0 Standards for Illinois Libraries 2014” Trustees will also be required to review the “Trustee Facts File” on “Trustee Duties and Responsibilities” : Chapters 1-5. Trustees will also be required to participate in some online training. Mrs. Murray will try to set up an online training session for the trustees at the library.
Other New Business:
1. Mini Construction Grant : Mrs. Murray has started work on this grant that would replace the old carpet with new carpet and flooring in the library.
Meeting Adjourned at 5:40 / Next Meeting Nov. 9th 2017.
