[EBR Library Board of Control on February 15, 2024.]
EVENING.I WOULD LIKE TO CALL THE FEBRUARY 15TH, 2024 LIBRARY BOARD OF CONTROL MEETING TO ORDER.
DON, CAN YOU READ, UH, I MEAN, CAN YOU SAY THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE FOR US? ABSOLUTELY.
PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS.
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.
UM, ALL RIGHT, SO NEXT ON THE AGENDA IS THE APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF JANUARY 18TH.
WE DO NOT HAVE A QUORUM, SO WE'RE GONNA DEFER THE APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES TO NEXT MONTH'S MEETING.
SPECIAL ORDERS, NO SPECIAL ORDERS.
WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON TO REPORTS BY THE DIRECTOR.
THE FINANCIAL REPORT, RHONDA, FOR 2023, OPERATING EXPENDITURES ROSE TO 83 POINT 88% OF THE OPERATING BUDGET.
THIS NUMBER IS NOT FINAL, THOUGH, AS ADJUSTMENTS AND CHARGES WILL CONTINUE TO BE RECORDED FOR ANOTHER ONE TO TWO MONTHS FOR 2024.
BECAUSE OF YEAR END WORK ON 2023, VERY FEW EXPENDITURES HAVE BEEN RECORDED.
AS OF JANUARY 31ST, EXPENDITURES ARE $2,100,126 AND 66 CENTS, OR 3.99% OF THE BUDGET THROUGH JANUARY, WE SHOULD HAVE SPENT NO MORE THAN 8.34% OF THE BUDGET.
CASH COLLECTIONS FROM PROPERTY TAXES FOR 2024 ARE SLIGHTLY AHEAD OF THOSE COLLECTED IN 2023, AS WE ARE APPROXIMATELY 3.2 MILLION AND 6.44% AHEAD OF THE SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR.
CASH COLLECTIONS FOR 2023 WILL BE FINALIZED WHEN FOURTH QUARTER INTEREST EARNINGS ARE POSTED, WHICH AGAIN MAY TAKE ANOTHER ONE TO TWO MONTHS.
ANY QUESTIONS ON THE FINANCIAL REPORT? NO.
NEXT ON THE AGENDA SYSTEM REPORTS, MS. MARY STEIN.
FOR SYSTEM REPORTS, LET'S SEE IF I CAN MAKE THIS WORK DOWN THERE.
NOW WHERE IS THE BIG SCREEN? WHERE IS THAT? OVER AT THE TOP.
OKAY, LOOK, IT'S ON THE SCREEN NOW.
WHO KNEW? ALRIGHT, LOT'S BEEN GOING ON.
UH, THE YEAR STARTED OFF WITH A GOOD, WITH GOOD ENERGY, AND RIGHT AFTER WE HAD OUR LAST MEETING, UM, I TOLD YOU WE WERE GONNA BE WELCOMING A SPECIAL PROGRAM CALLED MONEY MOVES BATON ROUGE.
WE HOSTED THAT HERE AT THE MAIN LIBRARY THAT, UH, WAS WITH PARTNERS, UH, FROM ENTERGY G AND THE UNITED WAY.
AND THEY PREPARED TAXES FOR ABOUT 150 PEOPLE.
THEY SET APPOINTMENTS FOR MANY, MANY MORE.
UH, THERE WERE COMMUNITY HELPERS SUCH AS BANK ON BATON ROUGE AND THE UNITED WAY, AND A NUMBER OF OTHER FINANCIAL LITERACY ORGANIZATIONS SCATTERED AROUND.
AND WE EVEN HAD SOME FRIENDS FROM NEW ORLEANS COME ALL THE WAY UP THE RIVER AND GIVE US A LITTLE PELICAN AND ST ACTION, WHICH WAS FUN FOR EVERYONE AND KEPT THE ENERGY GOING.
SO THAT WAS A REALLY, UH, GOOD EVENT.
UH, MONEY MOVES BATON ROUGE, AND THEN SUPER TAX DAY.
I AM SORRY, I'M, I'M BLURRING THEM.
[00:05:01]
UH, IT'S A DIFFERENT COMPUTER LAYOUT.UM, SO LOTS AND LOTS OF PEOPLE GETTING FINANCIAL INFORMATION.
AND THE NEAT THING ABOUT THE MONEY MOVES BATON ROUGE PROGRAM WAS IT HAD PROGRAMS FOR YOUNG PEOPLE JUST STARTING TO ADULT.
UH, IT HAD PROGRAMS FOR RETIREES TRYING TO PLAN WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE DOING IN THE NEXT 20 YEARS, AND PEOPLE WITH YOUNG FAMILY.
SO ALL THAT WAS PART OF THE WORKSHOPS THAT WERE PLANNED AND OPEN TO THE PARTICIPANTS THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
AND THEN, OF COURSE, SUPERTAX DAY.
WE'VE DONE THAT FOR YEARS INSIDE AND OUT.
UH, WONDERFUL COMMUNITY PARTNERS, AND IT'S A REALLY WONDERFUL PROGRAM THAT THE LIBRARY CAN PARTNER WITH.
OF COURSE, OUR VITA TAX PREPARERS ARE ALSO HELPING.
THIS IS A SPECIAL SEASON FOR THEM TO HELP MANY OF OUR, MANY IN OUR COMMUNITY, AS IS OUR A-A-R-P-T-C-E TAX, UH, HELP FOR THE ELDERLY.
UM, WE WERE ALSO ACTIVE IN THE COMMUNITY WITH THE RIBBON CUTTING FOR THE COMMUNITY PANTRY AT DELMONT GARDENS.
AND ON THE, ON THE SCREEN YOU'LL SEE THE COMPLETED PANTRY.
YOU'LL SEE ON THE TOP RIGHT, KIND OF GOING CLOCK WHITE, THE PANTRY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, YOU'LL SEE IT'S A SIGNIFICANT SIZE IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT.
YOU'LL SEE THE RIBBON BEFORE IT'S CUT.
THEN YOU'LL SEE A SMILING VOLUNTEER FROM BATON ROUGE MAGNET HIGH, WHO'S GOING TO COME OUT EVERY WEEK AND JU IT UP A BIT.
HE AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE INTERACT GROUP ARE GOING TO BE PART OF THAT.
AND THE FINAL PICTURE, THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND CORNER IS ONE OF THE MURALISTS DOING KIND OF THE PAINT BY NUMBERS MURAL ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE PANTRY.
REMEMBER, THIS IS A PROJECT OF FORUM 2, 2 5.
WE'RE HOSTING IT, BUT THEY'RE DOING IT.
ANOTHER COMMUNITY PROGRAM WE LOVE IS WHEN A PRESIDENT COMES TO THE LIBRARY.
SO A BLINKEN VISITED THREE DIFFERENT BRANCHES AND, AND HE DOES INTERACT WITH THE KIDS.
HE DOES PROGRAMS THAT ARE ONE PROGRAM THAT'S MORE FOR ADULTS, BUT REALLY ANY FAMILY MEMBER WOULD BENEFIT FROM WHAT HE DOES.
HE'S VERY GENEROUS WITH HIS TIME, AS WAS THE ORIGINAL PRESIDENT ABE LINCOLN INCOME.
KEEPING IN A POLITICAL VEIN, WE WILL BE HOSTING JUDGE PITCHER HERE AT THE MAIN LIBRARY ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21ST, AS PART OF THE SPECIAL COLLECTIONS LECTURE SERIES.
AND ALSO SOMEBODY THAT WHOSE LIVES HAS CHANGED.
OTHERS I'D LIKE TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION, MICHELLE CHAMPINE, WHO IS THE FEBRUARY FEATURE FOR LIBRARIES CHANGE LIVES.
SHE IS A SCHOOL LAB LIBRARIAN THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH ON THE HOME LIBRARY PROJECT FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS.
UH, SHE'S BASED AT LIBEL AIR, UH, ELEMENTARY, AND WE JUST LOVE HER KIND OF KEEPING WITH THAT THEME OF LITERACY YOU HAVE AT YOUR DESKS.
THE FINAL NUMBERS FOR THE STATISTICS FOR THE YEAR, AND I LIKE TO CALL OUT THE FACT THAT SOME OF THE PROGRAMS THAT WE COUNT HASH MARKS IN HAVE TO DO WITH A THOUSAND BOOKS BEFORE KINDERGARTEN.
AND THE, THE PARENTS AND THE KIDS LOGGED ALMOST 50,000 BOOKS AS BEING PART OF THE PROGRAM.
AND READING IS ELEMENTARY, WHICH IS FIRST THROUGH THIRD, FOURTH GRADE, MORE OR LESS.
UH, SIGNED UP 500 PLUS NEW CHILDREN.
WE'VE GOT THE LITERACY CALENDARS COMING IN FROM THE PRINTER NOW IN SPANISH AS WELL AS ENGLISH.
AND WE USE BEAN STACK, NOT JUST FOR THE SUMMER READING PROGRAM, BUT ALL YEAR LONG FOR CHALLENGES.
AND THESE CHALLENGES ARE FOR ADULTS, TEENS, AND CHILDREN.
THE STAFF ACTUALLY, PRETE PRESENTED ABOUT 2,400 STORY TIMES TO 53,000 ATTENDEES.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN JUST CHILDREN OR CHILDREN IN A CAREGIVER, BUT THIS IS SO IMPORTANT AND WE'RE GONNA JUST KEEP LEANING INTO THAT.
OUR PRESS START READY, SET, READ INITIATIVE IS CONTINUING AT ALL BRANCHES.
I'M PLEASED TO TELL YOU THAT THIS MONTH THE LIBRARY IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE NUMBER 18, THE CONCEPTS OF HARD AND SOFT AND THE LETTER YOU.
[00:10:01]
AND SPEAKING OF STAFF, WE HELD STAFF TRAINING DAY HERE AT THE LIBRARY ON LUND DE GRAS SINCE, UH, CITY PARISH OFFICES WERE CLOSED ON MARDI GRAS TUESDAY, WE WENT AHEAD AND CLOSED THE BUILDING ON MONDAY.IT IS A SLOW DAY FOR THE LIBRARY TRADITIONALLY, SO WE CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC, BUT THE STAFF CAME IN.
OVER 250 STAFF MEMBERS WERE HERE ALL DAY.
AND HERE YOU SEE SOME OF THE STAFF IN THIS ROOM.
THERE WERE STAFF IN THE CHILDREN'S ROOM, THE TEEN ROOM, ROOM 1 0 2, AND OTHER ROOMS SCATTERED ALL AROUND THE LIBRARY FOR, UH, A DAY LONG OF ACTIVITIES.
WE WORKED ON A NUMBER OF SMALL TRAININGS AND WE ALIGNED IT WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN.
AND, UH, YOU KNOW, MY WORDS WERE, YOU REMEMBER THE STRATEGIC PLAN
WE LOOKED AT HOW WE HAD CHECKED OFF A NUMBER OF BOXES ON THAT STRATEGIC PLAN OR ADVANCED SOME OF THE MAIN ISSUES THAT WE WERE WORKING ON.
UH, I WILL TELL YOU THE FIRST THING THAT WE ADVANCED AS COMPLETE CHECKBOX IS WE HIRED A NEW DIRECTOR AND WE HIRED A TRAINING DIRECTOR, AND WE STARTED WORK ON THE NEW WEBSITE AND WE'RE ABOUT READY TO START WORK ON A NEW ILS.
THESE ARE MAJOR, MAJOR SERVICE POINTS, AND WE WORKED ON THE COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT POLICY, WHICH AGAIN, I WOULD TELL YOU THEY'RE COUNTLESS HOURS, BUT WE'RE GOING TO COUNT THEM AND BE ABLE TO TELL THE THE POWERS THAT BE.
HOW MUCH TIME WAS SPENT GETTING THE LIBRARY READY FOR ACT 4 36 VIRTUAL AUTHOR TALKS STILL GOING WELL.
AND REMEMBER, THEY'RE ALL ARCHIVED.
PEOPLE ARE ENJOYING THE CONVENIENCE OF THAT.
GETTING TO NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHORS ON ALL KINDS OF TOPICS, ALL KINDS OF INTERESTS.
FICTION, NON-FICTION, SELF-HELP, BIOGRAPHY, YOU NAME IT, IT'S THERE.
UH, SIMILARLY GOING FORWARD WITH STRICTLY BUSINESS.
THE EPISODE NEXT WEEK WILL HAVE TO DO WITH BEST PRACTICES FOR EXECUTIVE HEALTH.
WE'VE DONE SOME SPONSOR CONTENT RELATED TO WELLNESS IN THE WORKPLACE, AND THIS PAIRS NICELY WITH THAT.
AND THEN YOU WILL START TO SEE AND HEAR AN INVITATION TO THE KICKOFF PARTY FOR ONE BOOK, ONE COMMUNITY FRIDAY, MARCH 8TH, RIGHT HERE INSIDE AND OUT.
STARTS AT FIVE BEFORE THE LIBRARY CLOSES, LASTS TILL SEVEN.
AFTER THE LIBRARY CLOSES, WE WILL FEATURE LIVE MUSIC FROM RJ AND ZYDECO SMOOTH.
AND LET ME TELL YOU, WE'VE HEARD HIM BEFORE.
HE'S COME HERE BEFORE AND HE IS SMOOTH BUT TOE TAPPING SMOOTH.
WE'LL HAVE DELICIOUS FOOD FROM ODOMS AND HE'S GONNA BRING ALLIGATOR BALLS AND SOME OTHER THINGS.
THERE'LL BE ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN.
AND SINCE IT'S A FOOD RELATED THEME, BECAUSE WE ARE ANNOUNCING THE BOOK TASTING HISTORY, WHICH IS A HISTORY WITH RECIPES OR A COOKBOOK WITH HISTORY, SINCE WE'RE ANNOUNCING THAT BOOK, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE EDIBLE BOOK FEST IN THIS ROOM AT THE SAME TIME.
AND IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR YOU TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO BRING.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLAN A LOT OF IN ADVANCE AND REGISTER.
JUST SHOW UP WITH SOMETHING THAT'S BASED ON THE WORST PUN, THE BETTER.
UH, I HAVE SEVERAL IDEAS I WILL NOT SHARE.
YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT THEY ARE.
ALSO, THIS MONTH WE'VE BEEN MAKING APPOINTMENTS.
IT SEEMS LIKE A THOUSAND PEOPLE LAST WEEK.
HOW MANY MEETINGS CAN YOU FIT IN A DAY WITHOUT YOUR HEAD EXPLODING? WELL, YOU, YOU CAN FIT A LOT, SEEMS LIKE.
BUT THEN SOONER OR LATER, MY HEAD'S STILL INTACT.
BUT YOU'RE STARTING TO SEE, UH, KATRINA OUT IN A NEWS MEDIA.
UH, UH, WE ARE MAKING CONNECTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS FOR HER, AND THAT IS GREAT.
UM, OUR SPONSOR CONTENT THIS MONTH FOR THE BUSINESS REPORT.
UH, SMALL BUSINESS SUCCESS STARTS WITH A VISIT TO THE LIBRARY.
THIS WILL HELP PROMOTE THE FACT THAT WE'RE DOING OPEN BUSINESS HOURS, KIND OF LIKE THE DOCTOR IS IN ON AND THE LIBRARY ON THURSDAY AFTERNOONS.
[00:15:01]
UH, HAVE ALSO MADE ARRANGEMENTS, OR WE'VE RECEIVED OUR NOTICE THAT ABOUT THE MARCH 23RD ELECTION.YOU MIGHT RECALL THAT SOME OF OUR LIBRARIES SERVE AS ELECTION SITES.
THEY'RE POLLING SITES, WHICH MEANS STAFF HAS TO BE THERE LONG BEFORE OPENING HOURS AND STAY THERE LONG AFTER CLOSING HOURS TO ACCOMMODATE THE, UH, CLERK OF COURT AND THE REGISTRAR OF VOTERS.
SO WE'LL BE DOING THAT AT, I WILL TELL YOU, ZACHARY FAIRWOOD, BLUE BONNET AND JONES CREEK.
AND THEN THE LAST THING THAT ADMINISTRATIVELY I WANNA BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION IS THE FACT THAT, UM, WORKING WITH EP AND, UM, ALL THE PEOPLE OUT AT HOMELAND SECURITY AND DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES FOR THE STATE, UM, WE HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH THEM ABOUT BEING ON THE FRONT END OF THE NEXT DISASTER.
'CAUSE YOU WANNA PREPARE NOW AND THEN HOPE YOU NEVER NEED THE PREPARATIONS.
SO THE PREPARATION THAT WE'RE WORKING ON NOW ESTABLISHING IS IF THEY HAD TO DROP A POD WITH MEDICAL SUPPLIES THAT FIRST RESPONDERS COULD ALL FIND AND GET AT, WHERE COULD IT BE? AND IT COULD BE IN THE PARKING LOT HERE, OR A PARKING LOT AT ZACHARY, OR A PARKING LOT AT BLUE BONNET, PLACES THAT FIRST RESPONDERS COULD GET TO EASILY, UH, IN THE KIND OF DISASTER THEY'RE, THEY'RE PLANNING FOR.
IT WOULD BE A DISASTER WHERE THE LIBRARY WOULD NOT BE OPEN FOR REGULAR BUSINESS BECAUSE WE WOULD ALL BE EITHER SHELTERING OR STAYING OUT OF THE WAY OR, OR NEEDING SOME OF THESE SUPPLIES.
SO WE'VE GOT THE PAPERWORK IN TO EP TO JUST CHECK THAT OFF.
AND THIS WILL BE ADDED TO OUR COOP.
PATRICIA HAS TURNED IN THE COOP.
SO THAT'LL BE ADDED TO THIS ONE.
UH, THIS ONE, RIGHT? YOU KNOW, ALWAYS TRYING TO STAY AHEAD.
AND THE LAST THING I'D LIKE TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION.
COME HERE SUNDAY FOR A GOOD TIME.
THE DOGS THAT WILL BE HERE ARE, ARE THEY'VE REGISTERED, WE KNOW THEY'RE COMING, AND THEY HAVE A PLAN.
THOSE THE DOGS THAT ARE COMING HAVE WORK TO DO.
UM, SO IT'S A TIME TO COME AND SEE THE DOGS AND LEARN ABOUT THE DIFFERENT BREEDS.
SOME OF THE DOGS WILL BE DOING TRICKS.
WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OBEDIENCE TRAINING.
I SAY WE, IN THE BROADEST SENSE OF THE WORD, HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT I LOVE TO SEE THEM.
I WILL TELL YOU AS A SIDEBAR THOUGH, THE CHILDREN WHO READ TO THE, TO THE READING DOGS IN THE LIBRARIES THAT WE HAVE SCATTERED HERE AND THERE, THOSE STUFFED ANIMALS, THEY'VE DOUBLED THEIR READING IN THE LAST YEAR.
THAT WAS A, A HASH POINT THAT THE CHILDREN STAFF COLLECTED.
AND THAT MEANS THAT THE CHILDREN ARE FEELING COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO READ TO SOMETHING REGARDLESS OF HOW SKILLED THEY ARE.
SO WE'RE IMPROVING THAT, AND THAT'S A FUN THING TO KNOW.
OKAY, I'M GONNA GET OUT OF THE WAY.
DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? QUESTIONS? OKAY.
UM, MAINTENANCE AND ADDITIONAL CAPITAL REPORTS.
OKAY, SO FOR THE MAINTENANCE, UH, I THINK I'VE BEEN TELLING YOU ABOUT THE CARVER HOT AND COLD WATER LINES AND THE PROBLEMS WE'VE HAD HAVING THEM REPAIRED.
UH, LAST MONTH WE HAD TO CLOSE FOR A DAY OR SO BECAUSE, UM, A FEW DAYS ACTUALLY, BECAUSE IT WAS SO COLD IN THE BUILDING.
WELL, THEY'VE GOT THE LINES REPAIRED.
THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF INSTALLING INSTALLATION AROUND THE PIPING.
FORTUNATELY, WE DID NOT HAVE TO CLOSE THE BUILDING, UM, AS WE THOUGHT WE MIGHT FOR THEM TO REPAIR THE COLD WATER LINE.
SO, UM, THAT WAS AN ADDED BENEFIT.
UM, THE CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE DELMONT BOILER ARRIVED LAST WEEK AND WAS INSTALLED EARLIER THIS WEEK, SO WE'RE GOOD WITH THAT.
AND THEY ACTUALLY HAD A, A REPRESENTATIVE OF THE, THE BOILER MANUFACTURER OUT THERE LOOKING AT IT TODAY.
UM, THE ELEVATOR AT RIVER CENTER THAT MALFUNCTIONED IN LATE SEPTEMBER WAS REPAIRED ON JANUARY 12TH.
THEY HAD TO, THEY WERE WAITING ON PARTS.
AND THEN ANOTHER PART WAS REPLACED ON JANUARY, ON JANUARY 17TH.
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS PAST WEEKEND, THE OTHER ELEVATOR STOPPED WORKING, BUT THERE'S A SERVICE CALL IN AND SOMEONE WILL BE THERE TOMORROW.
[00:20:02]
SO, YOU KNOW, IT'S EQUIPMENT AND EQUIPMENT SOMETIMES STOPS WORKING.SO, UM, THEY COULDN'T OPEN THE DOORS.
SO THAT'S PART OF THE REASON WE HAVE TWO ELEVATORS, JUST SO WE HAVE SOME REDUNDANCY WHEN THINGS LIKE THAT HAPPEN.
UH, FACILITY STAFF CONTINUE TO UPGRADE THE LIGHTING TO LEDS THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM.
IF YOU REMEMBER A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, WE TALKED ABOUT HOW THEY WERE, THEY WERE REPLACING THE REGULAR FLUORESCENT LIGHTS WITH LED LIGHTS AND THEY HAD DONE IT ALREADY AT, UM, EDEN PARK, JONES CREEK, DELMONT GARDENS, BAKER AND ZACHARY.
THEY'VE ALSO DONE IT AT CENTRAL, REPLACE THE LIGHTS AT CENTRAL.
SO THAT SHOULD SAVE US ON ELECTRICITY CONSUMPTION AND A LITTLE BIT ON MAINTENANCE TOO, BECAUSE, UM, THE LED LIGHTS LAST LONGER.
SO, AND AS WE MOVE TO THE NEW BUILDINGS, THE NEW BUILDINGS ARE GONNA BE, UH, GONNA HAVE LED LIGHTS.
AND AS WE RETROFIT, WE'LL PUT LED LIGHTS IN.
UM, WE HAVE A CHILLER REPLACEMENT MEETING WHERE THAT'S GONNA BE NEXT WEEK.
UM, WE ARE REPLACING CHILLERS AT, UH, CARVER CENTRAL, ZACHARY BAKER AND PRIDE.
WE'RE UPSIZING THE CHILLERS AT CENTRAL ZACHARY AND BAKER BECAUSE WE'RE PLANNING TO DO, THOSE ARE THE NEXT BUILDINGS THAT WE'RE GONNA BE DOING RENOVATIONS ON.
AND SO WE'RE GOING TO ADD SOME SQUARE FOOTAGE.
SO WE WANT TO HAVE THE, THE AMOUNT OF THE CAPACITY THAT WE NEED.
SO FOR THE MISCELLANEOUS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS, UM, FOR THE OUTREACH, AS A REMINDER, THE AC UNITS ARE SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE IN MARCH.
AND, UM, THAT'S EXTENDED SOME TIME FOR THAT PROJECT BECAUSE THE AC UNITS HAD A LONG LEAD TIME.
UH, WE'RE ORDERING REPLACEMENT DOORS FOR BOTH OUTREACH AND RECYCLED REEDS, UH, SIDES OF THE BUILDING AND DELIVERIES A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN A MONTH OUT.
THAT PART OF THIS IS LEAD TIME, LEAD TIME, LEAD TIME.
UM, THE, THE, THE DOORS THEMSELVES WERE, ARE NOT EASY TO WORK WITH WITH DELIVERY.
THEY WEREN'T FUNCTIONING PROPERLY FOR DELIVERY, BUT BOOK TRUCKS AND, AND CARTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, THE LIBRARIES REVIEWED THE CHANGE ORDERS WITH ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES AND IS READY TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THOSE ITEMS THAT ARE STILL OUTSTANDING.
AND ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES IS PREPARING, PREPARING A CHANGE ORDER FOR SUBMISSION TO THE METRO COUNCIL.
AND WHEN THIS BUILDING IS COMPLETE, AND THIS IS, WE'VE HAD THIS BUILDING FOR A WHILE.
WHEN THIS BUILDING IS COMPLETE, THE BUILDING WILL CONTINUE TO SERVE FOR HEADQUARTERS AS, UH, RE OUTREACH AND RECYCLED READS.
BUT IT ALSO WILL BE A BACKUP DISASTER RECOVERY SITE FOR THE LIBRARY.
AND BECAUSE THE SERVER ROOM IS SO LARGE, IT'S GONNA BE A BACKUP RECOVERY SITE FOR THE CITY AS WELL.
SO THERE'S GONNA BE SOME REDUNDANCY.
AND THAT WAS PART OF THE BENEFIT OF PURCHASING THIS BUILDING, EVEN THOUGH IT'S REALLY OLD
AND, UH, IT'S GOT A RAISED FLOOR.
THERE'S PLENTY OF SPACE IN THERE.
AND SO THAT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD FIT.
THE ROOFING REPLACEMENT UPDATE.
UH, THE CONTRACTOR HAS THE CUPOLA WINDOWS FOR JONES CREEK, BUT THE LIBRARIES ASKED FOR A MEETING TO WORK OUT DETAILS OF DEMOLITION AND INSTALLATION BECAUSE THE CUPOLA, I DON'T KNOW, YOU'VE BEEN OUT, IF YOU'VE BEEN OUT TO JONES CREEK, YOU KNOW THE CUPOLA IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE AS YOU COME INTO THE BUILDING.
AND, UM, SO THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO PUT A LIFT IN.
I TALKED TO ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES TODAY.
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO BRING A SCISSOR LIFT IN TO DO THIS WORK.
AND THERE'S GONNA BE SOME DEMO, AND THEN THERE'S GONNA BE INSTALLATION.
WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA HAVE TO BE CLOSED FOR THAT DAY OR, OR A COUPLE OF DAYS JUST FOR A SAFETY ISSUE.
UH, WE'RE TRYING TO WORK OUT THE DETAILS AS TO WHETHER WE CAN HAVE PEOPLE COME INTO THE MEETING ROOMS FOR MEETINGS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
SO WE'VE SENT A LOT OF QUESTIONS TO THE ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES, AND THEY'RE TRYING TO GET THE ANSWERS FOR US BEFORE WE SCHEDULE THAT.
UM, IN, IN THIS SAME PROJECT, MOST OF THE FLOOR TILE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE AT JONES CREEK, BUT THE TRANSITION STILL NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED IN ONE OF THE MEETING ROOMS. WE ARE, WE ARE EXPERIENCING ROOF LEAKS AT DELMONT GARDENS AND BLUE BON AND THE CONTRACTOR'S SUPPOSED TO ADDRESS THIS AS PART OF, YOU KNOW, HIS PROCESS FLASHING NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED OR REPLACED AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS.
HANDRAILS AT BLUE BONNET HAVE BEEN FABRICATED, BUT STILL NEED TO BE INSTALLED.
THE CONTRACTOR IS WORKING ON LEAKS, UM, UH, IN THE GUTTERS AS WELL.
AND WINDOWS NEED TO BE SEALED AT SEVERAL BRANCHES.
THE GATE AT DELMONT GARDENS STILL NEEDS TO BE FIXED, AND WE REALLY DO APPRECIATE ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES AS THEY GUIDE US THROUGH THIS PROCESS BECAUSE WE, WE KNOW SOMEWHAT ABOUT BUILDINGS, BUT WE, WE DON'T KNOW AS MUCH AS THEY DO.
AND THEY'VE BEEN VERY, VERY HELPFUL.
AND THEY REVIEW THE, THE ASIS AND THE RFIS, AND THEY, THEY, UH, DISCUSS THAT WITH THE ARCHITECTS.
[00:25:01]
IS TO HAVE THIS PROJECT SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE BY THE END OF THIS MONTH.AND THEN THE LI THE CONTRACTOR WILL STILL HAVE TO COMPLETE PUNCH LIST ITEMS. AND THEN IN THE MISCELLANEOUS MULTI-BRANCH IMPROVEMENTS, UH, UH, WE'RE WAITING ON THE FINAL LIST TO PROPOSE CHANGES WITH COSTS SO WE CAN APPROVE THEM BEFORE WE PROCEED.
WE ARE GETTING THAT CREDIT FOR ONE LIGHT AT PRIDE.
WE'RE HAVING, UH, THE CHANGES INCLUDE, UH, WINDOW REPLACEMENTS AT DELMONT GARDENS AND REPLACEMENT OF THE FLOORING IN THE COMPUTER AREA AT DELMONT GARDENS.
POSSIBLE REPLACEMENT OF THE MEETING ROOM FLOOR AND REPAIR OF THE COUNTERTOP CARVER.
SO, UM, THAT ONE SHOULD BE WRAPPING UP SOON.
SO OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, THESE ARE GONNA ROLL OFF AND YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE TO LISTEN TO 'EM ANYMORE.
AND THEN, AND THEN THE PROJECT, UH, FOR BLUE BONNET.
UH, WE'RE WAITING ON COMMENTS FROM ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES, BUT THAT PROJECT SHOULD GO OUT TO BID VERY SOON.
UM, THE A AND B MISCELLANEOUS REPORTS TOO, RIGHT? I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE FOR OKAY.
I THOUGHT THAT YOU WERE SAYING BOTH.
ANY COMMENTS BY THE BOARD? ANY PUBLIC COMMENT ON ANY OF THE ITEMS UNDER REPORTS BY THE DIRECTOR? SEEING NONE, WE'LL MOVE ON TO, UM, NO REPORTS BY ANY COMMITTEES TO, SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO UNFINISHED BUSINESS UPDATE ON SOUTH BRANCH LIBRARY.
PATRICIA HUSBAND, MAYOR STEIN, THE IRON WORK LOOKS GOOD.
MARK? THE IRON WORK LOOKS GOOD.
OKAY, NOW I NEED TO FIND THE, UH, TO THE RIGHT.
SO SOUTH BRANCH, UH, THE NEW ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE.
AND I'M STARTING OFF WITH THAT BECAUSE I ENDED WITH THAT LAST TIME, AND I THINK THAT'S THE THING EVERYBODY'S CONCERNED ABOUT.
UM, WITH THE PUNCH LIST COMPLETED AND THE CONTRACTOR READY TO TURN THE BUILDING OVER TO THE LIBRARY IS NOW DECEMBER 31ST.
UM, THERE ARE A COUPLE OF REASONS.
THE PERMIT DELAY, WHICH WE DISCUSSED, AND RAIN EVENTS OF DECEMBER 4TH, DECEMBER 10TH, IN THE FIRST WEEK OF JANUARY.
UM, OVER THE PAST MONTH, THE CONTRACTOR HAS WORKED ON THE FOLLOWING, UM, PAVEMENT IN THE MECHANICAL YARD LAYOUT IS, UH, COMPLETE.
ALL OF THE SPREAD FOOTINGS HAVE BEEN POURED.
90% OF THE ANCHOR BOLTS HAVE BEEN SET.
95, 90 5% OF THE GRADE BEAMS HAVE BEEN POURED.
MOST OF THE STRUCTURAL STEEL HAS BEEN DELIVERED.
AND, UH, AT THE TIME OF THIS REPORT, 20% HAD BEEN INSTALLED.
70 PER 7% OF THE STORM DRAINAGE HAS BEEN INSTALLED.
THEY CONTINUED TO POUR GRADE BEAMS. THE PLUMBING ROUGH INS FOR THE PUBLIC RESTROOMS HAS BEEN COMPLETED, AND CHILLER LINES HAVE BEEN INSTALLED.
SO HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES OF THE STRUCTURAL STEEL AND THE TREE LOOKING, UH, SOUTH TOWARD TUPELO STREET.
YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE STRUCTURAL STEEL GOING UP AND, UH, THE PLUMBING ROUGH INS FOR THE, THE RESTROOMS, THESE BLACK PIPES COMING UP.
AND THEN THE CHILLER LINES BEING INSTALLED.
AND HERE YOU CAN SEE THE GRADE BEAMS BEING INSTALLED.
BUT WHAT I WANTED TO SHOW YOU, WHICH I THOUGHT WOULD BE INTERESTING, HERE'S A PICTURE OF THE RENDERING OF THE BUILDING FROM AN OVERHEAD VIEW.
OKAY, WELL, IN SOME OF THE OWNER REPORTS, WHICH WE ARE GOING TO START POSTING ONLINE, THEY'RE JUST TWO PAGE REPORTS.
ONE WITH A, A SHORT, THIS IS WHAT WE DID, THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.
AND, AND SOME PICTURES, WELL, THEY INCLUDED AN AERIAL VIEW.
SO THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE.
AND THIS IS WHAT THE SITE LOOKED LIKE ON OCTOBER 6TH.
AND THEN ON OCTOBER 23RD, SO YOU'RE SEEING A LITTLE BIT OF WHERE THE FOOTERS ARE GONNA BE, FOOTERS WERE BEING INSTALLED AND THEN SADLY GOT WASHED OUT.
OKAY, ON FEBRUARY 1ST, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S THE OUTLINE OF THE BUILDING.
SO IF YOU, YOU COULD SEE THE, THE, THE OAK TREE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS PICTURE.
THAT'S WHERE THE MEETING ROOMS AND THE ENTRY ARE GONNA BE.
AND AS YOU COME ACROSS, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THAT, THAT'S THE MIDDLE SECTION OF THE BUILDING.
AND THEN YOU CAN SEE THE, UM, THE FOOTERS AND THE GRADE BEAMS BEING INSTALLED.
SO THIS IS AN AERIAL VIEW OF THE JOB SITE.
[00:30:01]
MONTH THERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE.I REALLY LIKE THE AERIAL PICTURES BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE A LOT OF PROGRESS HAPPENING.
WHEN YOU SEE IT FROM THE GROUND.
IT DOESN'T QUITE LOOK THE SAME.
SO I'M GONNA MENTION IT TO 'EM THAT, YEAH, IF WE CAN HAVE A COUPLE OF AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS OR ONE EVERY, EVERY REPORT, THAT WOULD BE NICE.
'CAUSE YOU CAN REALLY SEE PROGRESSION OF THE, OF THE BUILDING.
UM, AT THE MONTHLY OWNERS MEETING, THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THE TYPE OF REFRIGERANT NEEDED TO BE SPECIFIED FOR USE IN OUR HVAC SYSTEM.
UH, THE EPA IS GONNA START PHASING OUT THE REFRIGERANTS THAT WE'RE USING NOW.
AND, UH, THE MANUFACTURERS ARE NO LONGING, LONGER PRODUCING UNITS WITH THAT OLD REFRIGERANT.
UH, IT'S A RESULT OF, UH, THE PHASE OUT'S, A RESULT OF THE GOVERNMENT MANDATED ENERGY CODE UPDATES AND GREEN INITIATIVES.
SO THE ARCHITECT NEEDED APPROVAL BECAUSE THEY SPECED THE OLD REFRIGERANT.
THEY NEEDED APPROVAL TO CHANGE TO THE NEW REFRIGERANT AFTER SOME DISCUSSIONS AND, AND REVIEW OF EVERYTHING, UM, ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES.
AND, AND ALVIN AGREED TO THE, THE NEW REFRIGERANT.
AND WE ALSO STARTED LOOKING AT MORE FINISHES.
SO WE DECIDED ON THE BRICK, THE BASIS OF DESIGN OF THE BRICK HAD A 40 WEEK LEAD TIME, WHICH IS LONG, LIKE THE WHOLE YEAR ALMOST.
SO THE CONTRACTOR SUBMITTED A SUBSTITUTE.
WE SELECTED AN EQUIVALENT BRICK THAT LOOKED ABOUT THE SAME COLOR, VERY CLOSE TO THE SAME COLOR, AND LIBRARY AND ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES AGREED UPON US.
AND THEN THE, THE CONTRACTORS VERIFYING THAT OUR SELECTION WILL BE AVAILABLE IN A TIMELY MANNER, AND THE BRICK IS GONNA HAVE TO BE APPROVED BY RUANNE, BUT I DON'T THINK THAT'S GONNA BE A PROBLEM.
AND THEN WE CHECK, WE SELECTED THE MORTAR COLOR, THE CAST STONE COLOR TOILET PARTITIONS.
I KNOW THAT'S REALLY AN EXCITING THING.
TOILET PARTITIONS,
UM, SO, AND THE HOUSING FOR THE SHADES.
SO ALL OF THOSE LITTLE DETAILS AND LIKE, WHY ARE WE PICKING THIS OUT NOW? BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO START GETTING THESE SUBMITTALS APPROVED SO THEY CAN ORDER THIS SO IT CAN BE READY TO BE INSTALLED AS SOON AS IT, YOU KNOW, IT, WHEN IT GETS HERE, IT'S TIME FOR IT TO BE INSTALLED.
AND THEN WE CONTINUE TO HOLD WEEKLY MEETINGS WITH THE INTERIOR DESIGNER TO FILE, ANALYZE, FINALIZE THE FURNITURE PACKAGE.
SO DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT SOUTH? IT IS COMING TOGETHER.
STEEL'S GOING UP, CONCRETE'S GOING DOWN.
WE DON'T HAVE AN ACTUAL POUR DATE FOR THE REST OF THE SLAB, YOU KNOW, SO AS SOON AS WE HAVE THAT, WE'LL LET YOU KNOW.
UPDATE ON THE SCOTLANDVILLE BRANCH LIBRARY.
OKAY, LET'S SEE IF I CAN FIND THAT.
OH, THERE, IT'S ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GONNA GET IT.
I DON'T HAVE AS MANY PICTURES FOR SCOTLANDVILLE.
I WILL TELL YOU THAT THE PROJECT HAS BEEN EXTENDED BY 12 DAYS AND NOW HAS A SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION DATE OF SEPTEMBER 10TH.
PART OF THIS IS BECAUSE THE CONTRACTOR HAD TO REMOVE LARGE AMOUNTS OF CONCRETE, AND THIS HAS TAKEN TIME.
THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN SOME RAIN DELAYS, NOT QUITE AS MANY AS THEY HAD WITH SOUTH, BUT SOME, UH, FOR THE PAST.
THE CONTRACTORS CONTINUED TO DEMO DEMOLISH AND REMOVE EXCESS CONCRETE.
THEY HAD TO CLARIFY WHERE THE WATER LINES, THE DOMESTIC WATER LINES, THE FIRE WATER LINES, AND, UM, AND THE, THE, AND THE DRAINAGE LINES WERE GONNA GO.
SO THEY TRY, THEY WERE RESOLVING THAT TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NO CONFLICT, AND THAT THERE WATER LINES WEREN'T GOING UNDER, YOU KNOW, UNDER A SUBSTANTIAL PART OF THE BUILDING.
UM, THEY CONTINUED TO WORK ON THE PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL ROUGH INS.
AND YOU CAN SEE THAT IN THIS, THIS, UH, SLAB PREP PRIOR TO POURING THE CONCRETE, UM, THEY INSTALLED, THEY DID THE TERMITE TREATMENT.
THEY INSTALLED THE VAPOR BARRIER.
AND FINALLY ON FEBRUARY 9TH, VOILA, WE HAVE A SLAB.
SO THEY POURED THE SLAB EARLY IN THE MORNING.
I WILL SAY THAT I DID NOT GET UP AT TWO 30 IN THE MORNING OR TWO O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING TO BE THERE.
AND, UM, I'M OKAY WITH THAT 'CAUSE THE PICTURES ARE LOVELY.
UM, WE HAVE TWO PENDING CHANGE ORDERS.
BOTH OF THEM INCLUDE THE REMOVAL OF EXCESS CONCRETE, AND ONE INCLUDES A CHANGE ORDER FOR THE BUILDING.
WHEN WE VALUE ENGINEERED THE BUILDING OUT, WE LOWERED THE HEIGHT SEVERAL FEET.
UH, RESU REDUCE THE CEILING HEIGHT, OKAY, BUT WE HAVE TO RAISE THE CEILING BY ABOUT A FOOT OR SO BECAUSE WE NEEDED, WE HAD THIS BIG ROLLING DOOR, 12 FOOT DOOR THAT CAN ACCOMMODATE AND WE CAN HOUSE A BOX TRUCK IN THAT WORK ROOM.
[00:35:01]
TO DO THAT, WE HAD TWO OPTIONS.WE COULD EITHER CUT THE BUILDING BACK OR WE COULD RAISE THE HEIGHT OF THE, THE BUILDING BY A SMALLER AMOUNT, BY A SMALL AMOUNT, NOT THE SAME AMOUNT AS WE REDUCED IT.
AND IN ORDER TO PRESERVE FUNCTIONALITY, BECAUSE IT'S EASIER TO BUILD THAT NOW THAN TO TRY AND ADD ANOTHER 160, 200 SQUARE FEET LATER.
UH, AFTER THE BUILDING IS CONSTRUCTED, WE CHOSE TO, TO RAISE THE SEAL, RAISE THE CEILING A LITTLE BIT, AND THE COST ESTIMATE ISN'T IN COMPLETELY, BUT, BUT THE ROUGH ESTIMATE IS AROUND FIVE OR $6,000.
UM, ANOTHER CHANGE ORDER INCLUDES UPSIZING, THE TWO HVAC UNITS.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS WE DID WAS VE OUT ONE OF THE HVAC UNITS.
INITIALLY WE HAD THREE HVAC UNITS.
WE REDUCED THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING, SO WE ONLY NEEDED TWO.
BUT INSTEAD OF THE THREE, THE THREE HVAC UNITS HAD WERE 40 TONS EACH.
THE TWO THAT WERE LEFT WERE 40 TONS.
THEY NEEDED TO BE UPSIZED TO 50 TONS, JUST TO, TO PROVIDE ENOUGH CAPACITY.
UM, SOME OF THESE CHANGES WILL RESULT IN ANOTHER TIME EXTENSION, ALTHOUGH WE DON'T HAVE A FINAL, FINAL AMOUNT OF DAYS THAT THAT'S GONNA BE EXTENDED BY.
UH, ALSO THIS PAST MONDAY, THE CONTRACTOR REPAIRED THE RESTROOM STALLS IN THE WOMEN'S RESTROOMS. THESE ARE THE ONES THAT BECAME CLOUDED WITH DIRT AND ROCKS, UH, WHEN THE WATER LINE WAS BROKEN.
AND THEY ALSO REPLACED FILTERS IN THE WATER FOUNTAINS.
UM, THE CRACK HVAC UNITS ARE NOW SCHEDULED TO SHIP MAY 29TH, SO THAT'S A LITTLE BIT EARLIER.
AND THEN WE REVIEWED AND MADE COLOR SELECTIONS.
THE METAL PANELS FOR THE COLOR BUILDING, THE TRIM, THE ROOF COLOR, THE SOFFITS, UH, INTERIOR DOOR FINISHES, TILE FINISHES ON EXTERIOR DOOR FRAMES, FINISHES FOR THE LOUVERS, LAMINATE FINISHES FOR THE CABINETS, AND FINISHES FOR THE SOLID SURFACE AND INTERIOR PAINT, COLORS AND LOCATIONS.
WE'VE GOTTA GET ALL THIS TAKEN CARE OF SO THEY CAN COMPLETE THE SUBMITTALS.
THE SUBMITTALS CAN BE APPROVED, THEY CAN START ORDERING THE MATERIALS.
UM, AND I THINK THAT'S ALL I HAVE.
DO I HAVE MORE CONCRETE, MORE CONCRETE BEING POURED? I DID WANNA SHARE ONE OTHER THING.
THERE WAS A QUESTION LAST MONTH ABOUT THE, ONCE THE BUILDING IS COMPLETE, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO? HOW ARE WE GONNA, YOU KNOW, ARE WE GONNA USE IT? START AUTOMATICALLY USING IT FOR STORAGE.
WE HAVE DONE, WE TALKED ABOUT THIS, WE PHASED THE BUILDING CONSTRUCTION.
SO WHERE WE WORK IN HALF A BUILDING AND REMODEL IN HALF THE BUILDING.
WE DID THAT AT GREENWELL SPRINGS.
WE HAD S WE WERE ABLE TO DO IT, BUT IT WAS A LITTLE BIT HARDER ON OUR PATRONS AND OUR STAFF.
WE'RE GONNA TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE INTO THE SCOTLANDVILLE LIBRARY, UH, MOVE THE SCOTLANDVILLE LIBRARY, DOWNSIZE IT, AND MOVE IT INTO THE, THE ARCHIVE BUILDING.
SO WHERE YOU SEE WHAT LOOKS LIKE TABLES, THOSE ARE GONNA BE COMPUTER TABLES, THESE, THIS LONG RANGE OF TABLES.
THEN WE HAVE SOME STUDY TABLES.
WE HAVE SOME SHELVING IN HERE, AND SOME SERVICE DESKS.
SO WE'LL HAVE SOME COMPUTERS, WE'LL HAVE SOME COLLECTION.
WHAT YOU SEE IN, UM, IN THIS LOWER CORNER HERE, THOSE ARE COMPACT SHELVES.
SOME OF THOSE COMPACT SHELVES ARE COMING FROM SCOTLAND DEAL.
SOME WILL BE COMING FROM CARVER.
ULTIMATELY, AS WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE PAST, WE'RE GONNA TAKE ALL THE COMPACT SHELVING THAT WE HAVE AT THE VARIOUS BRANCHES AND RELOCATE IT INTO THIS ARCHIVE SO WE CAN MAXIMIZE OUR STORING STORAGE CAPACITY.
BUT FOR NOW, WHILE SCOTLANDVILLE IS GONNA BE REMODELED, WE'RE GONNA BE LIVING HERE.
UNFORTUNATELY, WE CAN'T HAVE MEETING ROOMS, BUT THIS IS THE SAME KIND OF THING WE DID WITH RIVER CENTER.
WE RENTED SOME, A SPACE THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT LARGER THAN THIS.
WE DIDN'T HAVE MEETING ROOMS, BUT WE HAD COMPUTERS AND COLLECTION AND, AND RESTROOMS AND, AND THOSE KINDS OF THINGS.
SO WE'RE GONNA HAVE THE SAME KIND OF THING HERE.
AND THEN ULTIMATELY OUR GOAL IS TO USE THIS AS OUR STORAGE FACILITY.
BUT WE'RE ALSO GONNA BE DOING, WE'LL BE STORING BOOKS WHEN WE REMODEL BAKER, AND THEN CENTRAL, AND THEN ZACHARY.
SO THAT'LL PROVIDE US SOME, SOME CAPACITY FOR, FOR THAT AND MAKE IT A LITTLE BIT EASIER.
ANY QUESTIONS? THE $7,000 THAT WAS GONNA BE FOR RAISING THE ROOF, THAT'S JUST GONNA BE FOR THE AREA WHERE THE VEHICLE'S GONNA PULL IN.
THEY'RE GONNA, THEY'RE GONNA DO IT ACROSS THE WHOLE BUILDING.
'CAUSE I HAD THE SAME QUESTION.
IT'S, NO, THE WHOLE BUILDING, I THINK IT'S GONNA MAKE IT EASIER.
'CAUSE THEN YOU DON'T HAVE TWO ROOF LINES.
NOW IF I CAN GET MY MOUSE TO WORK, I COULD SHUT THIS DOWN.
ANY, UM, WELCOME ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS BY THE
[00:40:01]
BOARD, RONNIE.ANY PUBLIC COMMENT? UNDER UNFINISHED BUSINESS, SEEING NONE.
ANY, LET'S MOVE ON TO NEW BUSINESS.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL NEW BUSINESS COMMENTS BY THE LIBRARY BOARD OF CONTROL.
ENJOY Y'ALL FOR ALL SHOWING UP.
SO, I DON'T KNOW IF WE NEED A MOTION, BUT DO WE HAVE A MOTION TO ADJOIN? I MOVE THAT WE ADJOURN.
AYE RONNIE, I DON'T KNOW IF HE CAN.
