Mr. Fredrickson explained the AT&T charges on the City bill list. He said the City
receives 1 bill and it includes the library charges. It was questioned why the charges are
co-mingled with the City bill. It was determined this particular bill was AT&T long
distance. Rob also suggested there may have been a mis-coding of the bill at one point
and he will research and advise the Board. The "Call One" bill is received directly at the
library and is for the fax, dial-a-story, fire lines, elevator etc. AT&T is for a T-line and
Comeast.

down, the library did receive real estate taxes and other miscellaneous income resulting in

Rob added that there is a current operations fund surplus of $ 119,000 with an estimated
$60-$70,000 surplus for the fiscal year. Information regarding the levy was received

City Council Liaison
Carlo Colosimo noted that the Council voted 5-3 to approve the additional requested
funds. He said promises were made in the past and need to be kept. The Board thanked
him for his support. Alderman Colosimo also noted that the Mayor has committed to
attending the Trivia Event.
Standing Committees No reports
Unfinished Business
Trivia Night
Ms. Somerlot reported on the fundraiser details. The event is April 13".
Building Siding
An email was received from Carl Nauert stating that there is no documentation that Cabot
[paint] was used—the finisher used Sherwin Williams paint, never Cabot, on other jobs.
The finisher has since gone out of business. Mr. Nauert will continue to research.
2013/14 Budget
It was noted that the additional funds requested were granted by the City Council. The
money will be listed as a transfer and part of it will be used to meet expenditures. An
increase in development fees or other revenues will be needed to avoid future deficits.
3
There was a brief discussion of the project surplus for next year.
Ms. Lindblom said there were many misconceptions about the library staffing. She
pointed out that some employees work only 4 hours a month or 1 night a month and that
there is only 1 person in the upstairs level at night. Ms. Somerlot said the night situation
is not safe.
Ms. Gaebler suggested that if the revenues do not improve, the library may need to close
additional hours. Another suggestion was to close on a weekday and be open on Sunday.
All agreed the hours need to be reviewed. Alderman Colosimo said many people would
like the library to be open on Sunday. Ms. LaChance asked if there are statistics as to the
least used day. Ms. Pfister said she can get a patron count per day, but it fluctuates on
given days.
Motion: Ms. Johnson moved to accept the budget as proposed by the Finance Committee
as of the February meeting. Ms. Gaebler seconded the motion.
Roll call: Johnson-yes, LaChance-yes, Gaebler-yes, Somerlot-yes, Allen-no, Gambro-
yes, Lindblom-yes. Passed 6- 1 .

holidays as amended. Voice vote approval.
