Present: Joan Pemble, Chair; Melissa Stringfield; Bonny Smith; Leona Manke; Rob
Hopper, City Council Liaison; and Elaine Leppert, librarian;
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. Minutes were approved as amended.
The agenda began with interviews of candidates for the open position on the board. The
first was James Michael Kershner. The second was Larry Blackburn.
Nick Voth from Southern Idaho Builders came for a verbal presentation and consultation.
His purpose for his bid is to enhance the perception of the library in the community.
We discussed the graffiti problem for us, and the stainless steel walls were recommended.
Several other points--undermounted sinks, wainscoting over the brick, far example--were
discussed. Voth left a contract with us. Voth will restructure the bid to include all of the
issues we discussed with him. The chair is authorized to accept an increase bid not to
exceed $30,000 once the suggested items are included. MSP (Stringfield, Smith)
We recommend that Leppert notify the City Council of our recommendation of Larry
Blackburn for a term on the Board. Larry will be asked write a letter to City Council to
introduce himself.
Bills of $56,095.58 were approved to be paid.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:43.
Next meeting will be March 3, 2011.
Secretary
Leona Manke
