igniters bad malfunctioned. He called Sound Incorporated for a maintenance contract
estimate and was given a price of$2,580. He said that in 12 months, $3,500 was spent
with Huen Electric. He itemized other recent spending for components of building

protection and Cannonball Mechanical for back flow preventers. Overall he said he is
not a fan of maintenance contracts, however, they can be money-savers. He

alarm inspection and fire alarm maintenance.

LIBRARY SYSTEM MERGER UPDATE
From the desk of Dixie DeBord
I hope the following will bring some clarification to the complex situation that PALS finds itself in at the
current time, and the implications for the Yorkville Library. I will try to stay informed by listening to the
merger design team meetings. These are open meetings as designated by the Public Open Meetings Act
and are recorded and viewable via the internet thru PALS website. Also please go to the Board Meeting
minutes at the PALS website for further clarification on what is happening and decisions being made.
These are some things to think about for our library. As with most mergers the big question is money.
Where will it come from? How much more will we have to pay for services? Will services be cut?
We do not have answers to these questions yet, however, here are some areas that may be affected:
1. Catalog database(PrairieCat)- This is a priority. It is our most important asset. The intergovernmental
agreement is designed to ptor, .o 0. PrairieCat is our shared LLSAP where all bibliographic information
about our collection is stored. We no longer have the old tangible card catalogs that were used back-in-
the-day. Being a full member of PALS we agreed to have materials cataloged in accordance with OCLC
(Online Computer Library Center, Inc.) MARC( Machine Readable Cataloging)standards in order to
facilitate access by other libraries.These records are stored on the servers at Shorewood. Again, it is our
most important asset.
2. Delivery and ILI,This is a priority and is continuing for as long as possible. What the future of
delivery is, we are uncertain. It may continue as is, it may decrease in frequency to just a few days per
week, it may cost per item (if so this would probably have to be passed on to patrons to pay for items they
request to be delivered), or libraries may have to limit the number of books their patrons request.
3.Training and continuing education-These services have been cut. Only basic training on Sirsi software
is being offered.( Sirsi software is the user interface to our database.)
4.Tech support and consulting-These services have been cut.
5. Web and email hosting- in 2010 these were offered free of charge. We will be charged for them in
FY2011. We don't know yet if they will be offered at all thru the newly created system.
6. S1P2 server connections-This connects our Checkpoint system with PrairieCat to make our self
checkout stations and security work for us. We will probably get charged for this service.
7. Operations and facilities-The systems are looking at all property assets and will determine what can be
liquidated and what and how to merge facilities and operations. It is my understanding that PALS owns
the property in Shorewood and is looking at using a$600,000 equity line of credit on that property to see
PALS through the end of the year.There is a property in the Quad Cities area that is for sale and there
may be one in the Rockford area as well.
Some of the following are blogs from Michael Piper(Director of PALS)and answer pertinent questions.
particularly the intergovernmental agreement. 1 included a letter from the Secretary of State that answers
some questions that the systems had. I also included a map of the systems in Illinois to give you an idea
of the geographical scope of the mergers. Chicago libraries will remain separate.The systems of Prairie
Area. DuPage,North Suburban, Metropolitan and Alliance will merge. The rest of the systems down-state
are in the process of merging as well.
State Library advises PALS about 2011 funding

Here is today's good news, bad news report: the Illinois State Library sends us the good
news that PALS' fiscal year 2011 Library System APG (Area and Per Capita Grant) will be
$2,275,533.75 -- the same as our FY 2010 allocation.
Now the bad news: APG grant payments are subject to funds availability. Since state
payment delays will probably persist, 2011 will likely be a repeat of 2010, when state
payments have been delayed by S+ months. That means Illinois systems are unlikely to
receive 2011 funds until late next year.
FAQ: What will happen to PALS?

• No Type Specified
If there is a merger, what will happen to PALS? And what will become of services such as
delivery?
If the merger occurs, PALS will become part of a new combined system, which will start on
1 July 2011. It will be a new organization, not just a continuation of ALS, DLS, MLS, NSLS
or PALS. This operation will have a new name, new ways of doing things, and a new culture.
The new system will assume assets and obligations from PALS and the other merged
systems. That means the new system will provide delivery services. It will also continue to
support PrairieCat and automated library systems run by ALS, DLS and MLS. In time, we
intend to resume services PALS and other systems had to drop amidst the state's fiscal
crisis.
As representatives from ALS, DLS, MLS, NSLS and PALS work together to design the new
organization, we'll honor our past. Our shared goal will be to convert adversity into
opportunity. How? By integrating the best of each system into a new model that is better
prepared to meet our members'
FAQ: What about PrairieCat?

As reported earlier, PrairicCa4 members have voted to establish PrairieCat as an Illinois
Intergovernmental instrumentality (I3) by 31 December 2010. Here's an update on this
action and its implications.
Why is this happening? PrairieCat members are understandably concerned about the
future. They cite a host of issues, including worries that the state may try to confiscate
PrairieCat assets (despite our attorney's assurances to the contrary), and the possible
consequences of a system merger. Concerns about a merged system include: Will the new
entity force PrairieCat to combine with the other three shared automation systems in ALS,
DLS and MLS? Will Iowa members be pushed out of PrairieCat, once a merger occurs? In
the absence of definitive answers to these questions, PrairieCat members want to take
every necessary step to control their own destiny, which makes sense.
What are the implications?This is a precautionary step, just in case the state's Fiscal
crisis deepens. Given the uncertain future for PALS and other systems, the PrairieCat
leadership has chosen this option to allay member concerns, and to enable PrairieCat to act
quickly as circumstances warrant. Nothing has changed, in terms of PALS` ongoing
commitment to PrairieCat. So long as state dollars flow in the late 2010 timeframe, as we
have projected, PALS and our successor system will support Prairie Cat, and PrairieCat will
continue to operate as before. If changes are ever warranted, however, I3 status enables
PrairieCat members to move to other arrangements, as needed.

PrairieCat?

PALS and PrairieCat are so closely connected, it's hard to separate one from the other. That
reflects a close-knit relationship that has served both parties well. Recent developments -
the state's fiscal crisis, the prospect of a merger involving PALS, and PrairieCat's movement
toward a new legal status - have shone a bright spotlight on this partnership, and prompted
questions. In the attachment, you'll find an outline nj the PALS-PrairieCat relationship, and
how it may change when PrairieCat becomes an Illinois Intergovernmental Instrumentality
(I3).

MEMORANDUM
TO: Illinois Library System Presidents
FROM: Anne Craig, Director
Illinois State library
DATE: July 19,2010
SUBJECT: Responses to Questions Received About Restructuring Library Systems
Over the past few weeks, several questions have arisen from library systems regarding the restructuring of
these organizations, the disposition of real and personal property, and public records that are held by each of
these entities. Specifically, I have received written questions from staff and board members of the Alliance,
DuPage, Prairie Area, and Shawnee Library Systems. My staff and I have also received many inquiries by
phone and in-person, at work and during various meetings.
A general review of the law and administrative rules that govern these topics is appropriate and especially
pertinent in light of the fact that many staff are leaving library system enzployrnent. i write to you today to ask
that you take time in your board meeting to thoroughly discuss the following information;further, I ask that you
send any questions to me for consideration and response by Secretary of State legal counsel.
Restructuringlt is uidation and Mercaer
The statutes and administrative rules that govern the restructuring processes (liquidation and merger) clearly
define the courses of action that are to be taken when the board of directors of a regional library system
formally votes in favor of a restructuring process. The initial course of action that needs to be taken is a formal
decision by the board of directors to cause liquidation of the existing library system and to file an application
with the Secretary of State/Illinois State Library that clearly defines the liquidation process that is proposed (75
ILCS 10113).
If the library system board is formally advocating a merger process, that restructuring can take one of two
forms. A library system could merge, in part (territory and population), into two or more adjoining library
systems, or could merge entirely with other adjoining library systems to form a single new library system
organization. Both of these processes are described in the Merger section of the Illinois Administrative Code
and is found at 23 IL ADC 3030.85. A merger of a library system, in part, into two or more adjoining library
systems,requires at least a two-thirds vote of member libraries in support of this restructuring.
r
Ente_rgovernmental Aareernents
Further, it is our recommendation that, once formal merger processes are undertaken, each of you seek
intergovernmental agreements between library system entities that specify all roles and expectations during
the merger and transitional period. At the point the new library system organization(s) is formed and approved
by the Secretary of State/Illinois State Library, these intergovernmental agreements would expire and all
functions would be governed by the new entity.
Real and Personal Property
The Powers of Boards section of the Illinois Library System Act (75 ILCS 1017 (11)) is quite clear that title and
ownership, and, therefore, responsibility to safeguard and maintain an inventory of all real and personal
property at each library system facility, rests with the board of directors. This provision has been a component
of the Illinois Library System Act since the original legislation was crafted and adopted in 1965-1967.
The Disposal of Property section of the Illinois Library System Act(75 ILCS 10116) identifies procedures that a
library system shall take in relation to the disposal of real and personal property at any time including prior to
any formal board decision regarding liquidation or merger. Should a decision be made by the board of
directors to formally liquidate a library system, again, the Act contains a Liquidation section (75 ILLS 10119)
that also requires interaction with this office prior to any final disposition of personal and real property. There
are further administrative rules that govern the liquidation process that can be found within the Illinois
Administrative Code at 23 IL ADC 3030.80.
In the event that the boards of directors of two or more library systems decide to formally merge, the Merger
section of the Illinois Administrative Code is found at 23 IL ADC 3030.85. Again, interaction with this office is
required prior to any final disposition of personal and real property.
Records and Email
The papers and documentation of the library systems regarding the transaction of public business are subject
to governance within the Local Records Act (50 ILCS 205). This Act further delineates courses of action that
are necessary regarding the disposition of those records. All staff who are departing employment should be
made aware of these provisions as they clean out their personal office space. Care should also be taken to
preserve all emails that would be classified as records under the Illinois Local Records Act as well as any
spreadsheets, word processing documents, and databases. The Secretary of State's Illinois State Archives
Department can assist each of the library systems with questions and any interaction that may be required with
local records commissions. You may contact Sheila Cowles at (217) 782-1080 to arrange for a local records
officer to visit your library system.
Specific ti ns submi to h Illinois t Library
1. Is of the Illinois Administrative Rules the only language that applies to system
mergers? If yes, it appears no member vote is required. If not,what other law/rules apply?
Yes, 23 IL ADC 3030.85 is the reference for mercer. If two or more systems are merging, in whole; then
members are not required to vote. Other law and rule that apply include the sections about liquidation and
disposal of property,the Records Act, and the Open Meetings Act(see citations below).
2. The merger process will incur a number of costs including negotiation facilitator, attorney(ies), and
accountant(s). Since some of these cost will be shared, is a RFP/public bid process required if a system's
share of cost is under$20,000? As an example, if 3 systems hire a negotiation facilitator at $30,000, since
each system will pay $10,000 each, is a RFP/public bid process required since each system is only spending
$10,000 each?
In short,the answer is yes. The Governmental Joint Purchasing Act(30 ILCS 5250 requires that public entities
created by statute (library systems are) and that wish to makes purchases of personal property, supplies
and services be based on competitive, sealed bids. There is no minimum threshold purchase amount
identified in this Act.
3. Can merger negotiations be conducted using Web contcrencing and still fall under the Open Meetings Act?
The following library systems are in excess of 4,500 square miles:
Alliance Library System
Prairie Area Library System
Lewis&Clark Library System
Lincoln Trail Libraries System
Rolling Prairie Library System
Shawnee Library System
Therefore,according to (5 ILCS 12017(d))they could meet by"other means."

SERVICE AGREEMENT EXPIRATION NOTICE
Date: October 09, 2010
Service Agreement: CHP14828
Service Agreement Expiration Date: December 31,2010

Yorkville Public Library
Attn: MICHELLE PFISTER
902 Game Farm Road
YORKVILLE, IL 60560-2105
Dear MICHELLE,
Does your library have funds budgeted for emergencies? Most libraries don't.
That's why I'm writing you about your Service Agreement. Your coverage will expire on the date
listed above and your equipment will no longer be covered. So if your systems ever need repair,
your library will somehow have to find the funds to cover it.
Complete equipment coverage
High technology equipment is extremely complex. And even though great care goes into every
product we build, it's impossible to manufacture a system that is 100%reliable for as long as your
own it. That's why there is not a smarter investment than a 3M Service Agreement.
Our Service Agreement covers virtually all labor, parts and any other equipment modifications
necessary to get-and keep-your systems working.
In short, we take care of practically everything. No matter what the problem or where you are in
the United States.
Same day telephone response
We typically give a telephone response on the same day you call. If you call "after hours", we get
back to you the next business day. What's more, we normally have a technician at your site within
12 working hours.
No expensive surprises
No one knows your equipment better than our 3 M service providers. They are available to you, of
course, without a Service Agreement.

Our rates are$150 to $250 per hour plus a callout charge of$325 to $425 depending on your
service zones. You will also be charged the cost of any necessary replacement parts. So you can
see that just a single service call could more than cover the cost of a whole year's Service
Agreement coverage. Is it really worth it to take a chance?
Renewing is easy
Give yourself some peace of mind and renew your Service Agreement today. Just fax or mail a
renewal purchase order to the number or address indicated below. Or use your Visa or
MasterCard (just call the number below for information on doing this). We can guarantee your
renewal price for only 30 days beyond the date on this notice, make sure you renew soon!
