2. Library Use Statistics
3. Reports from Department Heads
The motion passed unanimously.
Mrs. Merritt entered the meeting.
YEAR-TO-DATE BUDGETARY STATUS
Mrs. Anthony reported the Year-to-date Budget Status Financial Report
will give an overview during the year and might be helpful when doing the
budget.
Discussion followed.
Dr. Bloch would like to see 'Percent of Year
Remaining' in addition to 'Percent of Budget Remaining' as a heading on the
Report.
Mrs. Hunter said this format could be put on the regular agenda on
a quarterly basis and on the Consent Agenda on a monthly basis.
PERSONNEL
Mrs. Anthony reported that on February 19, 1985, the Supreme Court
ruled that state and local governments are subject to Federal wage/hour laws
as outlined in the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
Three main points were
noted in regard to the FLSA:
1.
All overtime must be paid monetarily.
compensatory time.
2.
Exemptions for professional and executive staff are based on:
a. supervisory responsibility
b. salary
c. whether or not they perform less than 20% clerical work
3.
The base period for overtime is each 40-hour work week rather
than a two-week pay period.
There will be no
�-3-
The federal government will begin to enforce this on October lS.
According to Village of Skokie Finance Director, Dan Ryan, the Village
will pay time-and-a-half for anything over 40-hours and compensatory time
or straight time for anything between
37~
and 40 hours.
They do not
anticipate significant additional expenditure for overtime pay.
Dr. Bloch asked for an estimate on how much this will cost the
Library.
Mrs. Anthony will make specific recommendations to conform with
the law.
BUILDING
Johnson Controls
Mrs. Anthony met with Leo Ramirez, Head Custodian, Archie Bragg
and Adam Gavin of Johnson Controls.
They discussed better maintenance
arrangements and a maintenance procedure schedule.
Presently, two items
need to be repaired:
1.
a valve in the ceiling causing water leakage-approximate
cost: $425
2.
a warped door inside the Cleaver Brooks boiler-a. replacement of the door would cost $2,500
b. repair of the door temporarily would cost $1,500
Mrs. Anthony recommended having these two repairs made.
Dr. Wozniak entered the meeting.
Dr. Bloch said Johnson Controls still has not addressed his
question about the coldness in the northeast corner off ices and what kind
of evenness of temperature we can expect.
Mrs. Anthony said the valve that needs to be replaced will take care
of inadequate water flow which should help the situation.
An impediment to
even temperature distribution is the fact that we have two buildings and two
�-4-
heating systems.
The one in the new building can accommodate twice the
square footage presently served and is therefore operating at the lower
end of the range of its capacity.
Mr. Flintrup then made the following motion, seconded by
Dr. Wozniak:
MOTION:
That the Skokie Public Library Board
appropriate and have repairs made not to
exceed $3,000 by Johnson Controls.
The motion was withdrawn by Mr. Flintrup and Dr. Wozniak.
Mrs. Anthony will
handle the situation.
Broken Window in Staff Room, August 16, 1985--still not replaced
The glass to replace the broken window in the staff room has been
ordered according to our insurance agent.
The breakage was not due to
spontaneous cracking.
REPORT ON PER CAPITA GRANT APPLICATION FISCAL YEAR 1986
After discussion with department heads, Mrs. Anthony wrote the
Per Capita Grant application.
This year we will be receiving $1 per capita.
The grant money will continue to be used for &utomation and linking process;
signage; and as matching money for Illinois Arts Council and Skokie Fine Arts
Commission programs.
The application has been sent in.
AUTOMATION
Mrs. Anthony reported it will be 10 to 12 months before we are online.
