LibraryBoard/2011-01-12.pdf,2 | LibraryBoard | 2011-01-12 | 2 | Page 2 of 3 Minutes of the Alameda Free Library Board Meeting January 12, 2011 With the exterior painting complete, the Library and Recreation & Park building now look like two separate buildings. The wood ceilings have been installed, and the trellis is being modified. The artist, Kana Tanaka, went in to check for placement of her art piece, and will return around the beginning of February for installation. Wiring is also complete, but there is a slight delay with the carpet order. The expenditure summary to date was included in the board packet. Complaints have lessened about the closure as the project nears completion. There is a punchlist meeting on Monday, January 24, and the grand re-opening is scheduled for Tuesday, March 8 at 2:00 p.m. Director Chisaki introduced Dennis McDaniels, who had put together a plan for landscaping of the West End branch for the Board's approval. The design included all native and similar climate plants; about 50-70% are natives. The front plantings will be symmetrical, and some of the good existing plants will be relocated. President Hartigan asked who would do the upkeep, and McDaniels said he would do it as he knows about water and maintenance requirements. Currently, the Public Works Department does minimal maintenance, but Chisaki will call them and ask that West End be taken off their list. The trees being removed will be mulched; the mulch will be used to cover any bare spots between the plantings. The Board didn't have any further questions, so President Hartigan asked for a motion to accept the landscape proposal as presented. Member Wetzork so moved; Vice President Whyte seconded the motion which carried by a 5-0 vote. NEW BUSINESS A. Alameda Free Library Foundation (J. Chisaki) The Foundation did not have a meeting; however, Chisaki reported that the Children's Concert has been scheduled for the last Saturday in February. The San Francisco Opera will be performing The Magic Flute. The Foundation will talk about logistics for the program at their next meeting. B. Friend… | LibraryBoard/2011-01-12.pdf |
LibraryBoard/2011-01-12.pdf,3 | LibraryBoard | 2011-01-12 | 3 | Page 3 of 3 Minutes of the Alameda Free Library Board Meeting January 12, 2011 LIBRARY BOARD COMMUNICATIONS Member Atkin had heard that literacy program funding was one of the State's proposed budget cuts. Director Chisaki said this was true and that TBR and PLF were also on the table. A letter-writing campaign is on in hopes of preserving at least some of this funding, although with the dramatic reductions seen in the last few years, libraries have already been getting along with much less then in prior years. DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS A grant proposal for $3,500 was submitted and accepted by BALIS for a Seed Lending Library. Librarian Joel Butler is spearheading the program and is working with Ploughshares, Encinal and Thomsen's, all Alameda nurseries. The solar panel project is moving forward, with the rebate form now finalized. The city's new webpage is finally up, but several problems have come to light. Chisaki encouraged the Board to go out and take a look and give her any comments they might have. ADJOURNMENT President Hartigan adjourned the meeting at 7:02 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Jane Chisaki, Library Director and Secretary to the Alameda Free Library Board | LibraryBoard/2011-01-12.pdf |
