III. Bills
Monthly report was not ready to present to the board. In rough calculations,
we have enough cash in the state pool to pay our bills coming due. The last
December payrolls and the January payrolls will be due before the property
tax payment. The payrolls will be covered by monetary investments.
It was moved and seconded to pay the bills. (Roehr/Manke)
IV. Business
A. Router replacement costs: The investment of a computer router will assist
in the installation by the Instigate firewall. The bid for the new router is
$2917.20 including installation. There is money in the equipment and
furnishings budget. (Day/Roehr)
B. Photocopier replacement costs: The Xerox copier representative and the
� Ricco representative have given two estimates seemed inconsistent. After
a discussion of whether to lease or buy and what is entailed, it was decided
to make a decision after more information.
C. Conduct in library policy: There have been several problems which has
resulted a person being asked to leave. While there is a policy in place, it ,
has not involved how many times a person should be treated as a"first- ,
timer." A form was presented and modified by the committee. The levels �'
include a talking about the library rules, first expulsion-may return the
next day, second expulsion may return a week later, third expulsion or a
very serious infraction of policy and may not return unless accompanied
by a parent or guardian. It was moved and seconded to accept the modified
policy and revisit the situation in six months. (Roehr/Day)

on next month's agenda.
