be in a separate account . A building maintenance referendum was also suggested along with the idea

City Council Liaison : No report
Standing Committees :
Finance
Ms . Chacon said the Finance Committee met to examine wages paid and the cost per hour if library
hours were increased . The average cost per hour was calculated as ranging from $ 58 . 76 to $ 80 . 74 .
That translates to $4,680 per year to be open 3 hours on Sunday or any day. The committee felt that if
the library spends the money to be open extra hours, then raises need to be given, so they recommended
against the increased hours . Ms . Pfister also noted there is no PrairieCat backup on Sunday. The final
recommendation was to not increase hours of operation.
Unfinished Business :
Disaster Plan Security/Safety Policy
Ms . Pfister has met with Terry Klingel from the Police Department and he recommended just calling
9- 1 - 1 in an emergency. In an emergency, he said to secure the front doors, being careful to not lock the
police out and to move patrons to a safe area. He also provided the school ' s disaster plan to Michelle .
New Business :

the library after 8pm . After a brief discussion, Ms . Lindblom moved to keep the current hours and Ms .
Johnson seconded the motion . Unanimous voice vote approval .

Judy Somerlot's place and Ms . LaChance will become the Personnel Chairman and Ms . Gryder will be
the Policy Chairman .
Reducing Library Footprint
Ms . Gambro suggested double-sided copying of documents for the meeting and also inquired about
laptop availability for meeting use . Mr. Walter will check on the laptops . She also wondered about the
possibility of projecting the documents on a screen. Ms . Johnson suggested receiving the agenda by
e-mail and printing what is desired . President Gambro asked the Board members to think about
possible changes and said the school district is using less paper. Ms . Pfister said she needs paper
copies for the binders upstairs in the library. She also suggested each Board member bring their own
copy of the minutes .
Additional Business : j
Trustee Gryder said the Illinois Library Association website reported the Rockford Schools and the
Rockford Library have partnered to provide library cards to students out of the library service area.

Hi Michelle
i
Can you please make a copy of this email group so that they can be shared during the correspondence
portion of the next meeting . You said you would also make copies of the emails from the mayor and
Bart . I want everyone to have access to these during the next meeting . Did you also get emails from
Russ and Kate ? If so , please copy those for distribution ,
Also , if we don 't already , please add building maintenance and landscaping to the September agenda .
i
Thanks !

Hi Beth ,
I completely understand the budget issue for the library and trying to do things with limited funds . The j
reserve money is all the library has to fall back on , so it should be used with lots of thought - which I
know you have done . In my opinion , the Board should use the reserve money for things that are not j
cosmetic but that are an important for maintenance of the building that , without doing repair, would
cause further expense and damage . Taking care of the gutters is the perfect example , as is having
the ice guards replaced on the roof edge especially above entrances .
Landscaping is so important for the appearance of the library and the overall maintenance of the
grounds . Necessary? Probably not . Windows washed ? Painting above the entrance to the library?
think these are all things that need to be done , and it may take some creative thinking to do this . I 've
wondered if service organizations in Yorkville would "adopt" a project , such as twice-monthly weeding
and trimming . Washing windows on the ground level - inside and out. Painting the soffit above the
library entrance . Would the Yorkville Garden Club provide flowers for the library entrance ? Would a
contractors group/union/association paint the board above the library entrance ?
i
I 've always hesitated to give Michelle advice . She is the Library Director because the Board believes
she can manage and make the best decisions for the library ; I would not want to undermine or
second guess her decisions . Having said that, I do believe that not every staff position needs to be
filled when someone leaves . I was a library manager and know that I had to make tough choices
when money was tight . Not filling a vacant position is very different from laying off staff. We all
survived just fine with handling things in a different way . And , volunteers can be used for many things
i
that paid staff might do .
j
Just as I think Michelle might need to look at staffing in a different way , the Board might also need to
look at things differently . Where can they get $ 5000 (or whatever amount) to hire a
landscaper? Would Wrigley fund this ? After all , the city did give the Mars Co , a big tax incentive .
1 �
i
Would the Board consider an Ad Hoc Committee made up of several energetic Board members and a
couple of community leaders to work on this ?
As you can see , I am rambling and do not have the answers . I don 't think you have missed the mark ;
it's just that things have gotten out of control . Like you , I am totally frustrated by the situation , but I do
know that the Library Board is the only group that can solve the dilemma .
Sincerely ,
Judy

Hi Judy
We expect to hear from Seaver at our September meeting . I did forward your email to the mayor and
he responded . Are you in favor of the board tapping into reserve money for the landscape and
upkeep rather than just major renovations? I 'm trying to get a sense of where you feel we 've missed
the mark . As you know, it is very challenging to balance living within our means and still providing
adequate maintenance . We took the advice of council and repaired/painted areas of the building that
were damaged . The rest of the painting need is more of a cosmetic issue . Also , it was my
understanding that we have had the windows cleaned within the past year, I will have to check with
Michelle .
Thanks for your continued concern-
Beth

I originally emailed this to your Board emails , and since I know that some of you don't often check that,
I ' m sending this to your personal email addresses . It's not that I think it's too important to miss; I want to
be sure that you all receive the same information . Kate is the only one for whom I don't have a home
email . Judy

Dear Library Board members,
1
I am writing to you as a former board member, a member of the Friends of the Library, and a library
patron , It is very disappointing and embarrassing to see the condition of the outside of the library at this
time. Weeds are rampant and plants are out of control . Plants are growing in the gutters of the meeting
room . The windows are filthy. If you were to pass any business with this appearance you would see it as
a sign of neglect or indifference. As you also know, the exterior paint is in need of attention .
Hundreds of people visit the library each week. Even more will be going to the Used Book Sale over
Labor Day weekend . The Yorkville Library does not appear as a cared-for, inviting , bright star of our
community.
I
You , the Library Board , are the caretakers of the library . Money is always an issue ; it is your duty and
responsibility to solve the problem of the upkeep of the library .
i
Sincerely,
i
Judy Somerlot

Hi all,
I 've been thinking about this - there is a local boy scout troop (troop 40) that seems to be pretty active in
Yorkville . Maybe we reach out to the Scout Master and ask for help ? Would be a great service opportunity to
add to their calendar, and we could use the help .
Thoughts ?

Hello Beth and Michelle,
A few parallel thoughts on this :
1 ) I 've asked our Parks and Public Works Departments to put their heads together to see what additional work, if
any, they can provide with existing staff and funds . Eric Dhuse is out the beginning of this week at a conference
and Tim Evans is coordinating Hometown Days, so I probably won't have a good update on this until next
week. I' m hoping though that we can have some modest improvement in services with existing resources, as
I 've noticed many of the same issues at a few other City buildings .
2 ) Depending on the answer to the above, I've asked Parks and Public Works to make a few proposals for
maintenance for discussion in the FY 17 budget . For instance, if they say they cannot mow or weed more often
than they are currently, I would like them to be able to tell me how much it would cost the City to provide these
i
increased services .
3 ) 1 know Tom Lindbloom used to do a building maintenance report or similar, and I don' t think there has been one
in the Library since his tenure . I ' ll be looking at doing maintenance reports for most, if not all, buildings in the j
City in the next few years . If you' re interested, maybe we could fold the Library into a quote we get for a
building maintenance report .
4 ) 1 know rnost of the exterior maintenance was coordinated and paid for in the Library Fund prior to the recession,
when your budget was stronger . The City's audit figures are very close to being final, and they show that you
ran very close to break even, even though you had approved a budget with a $ 50k deficit . Rob and I expect your
fund balance to stay around $466,000, which is around 65% . While I wouldn' t recommend large, ongoing
expenses for maintenance until your budget consistently breaks even, I think you could probably pick and
choose a couple of one -time maintenance improvements or contracts and proceed without the City .
I
I' ll touch base with you in a week or so after Eric and Tim have had a chance to talk .
Thanks,
Bart Olson, ICMA-CM
