INTERIORS FURNISIDNGS AND BUDGET CONSIDERATIONS
The special meeting was called to discuss budget considerations for interior
furnishings and the proposed phasing of new purchases and refurbishing of some
furnishings.
The Board reviewed and discussed the financial information presented by
Mrs. Anthony, which included a report on the Year-to-Date Status of the Library Renovation
summarizing total project related expenses to date; Capital Funds Committed and Available
statement showing the status of the Library's three capital funds as of March 1, 1992; and the
projected budget for FY 1993-94.
A deficiency of $278,000. is anticipated due to unexpected expenditures for
sprinklers in the original building and the frre alann upgrade, which account for
approximately $153,000.
The proposed budget for FY 1993-94 shows a 6.7% increase in the operating budget.
The total proposed budget, including $250,000. in capital expenditures, debt repayment and
reimbursement of $100,000. owed to the Village represents an increase of $519, 100. or
11.77%.

In FY 1994-95, the $100,000. levied to repay the Village in 1993 could provide a
cushion to operating expense increase should a property tax cap be enacted
Lengthy discussion ensued.
The Board expressed concern with the financial situation and the possibility of
additional unforeseen expenses developing during the renovation. They concurred it will be
important for the 1992 levy to be sufficient for anticipated needs.
Mrs. Anthony said that since we do not anticipate replacing the present Geac system
before September, 1993 the JCPL Growth Fund in excess of $400,000. by April 1993 could
be kept in reserve for any unforeseen emergency capital expense.
At 8: 15 p.m. Ms. Johnson distributed information regarding proposed furnishing
costs, and phasing time frames.
She said Phase One is to be accomplished in two parts--Part A in April and Part B in
July, 1992. Estimated cost of furnishings and millwork of Part A is $138,000., Part B
$107,000. for an estimated total cost of $245,000.
The Board expressed concerns regarding the high cost of chairs and the wearability of
chairs proposed for public equipment stations. The Board asked that consideration be given
to the purchase of mechanical rather than pneumatic chairs for public equipment stations.
Ms. Johnson said that proposed furnishings in the adult areas are in keeping with the
museum quality furnishings now throughout the Library. Proposed furnishings for Youth
Services are practical as well as durable.
Mrs. Zatz left the Board Meeting at 8:40 p.m.
After further discussion of proposed budgeting and phasing for interior renovations,
Mr. Graham made a motion, seconded by Mrs. Rich:
