Mrs. Norma Zatz and Miss Mary Radmacher, Chief Librarian.

order at 7:30 p.m.
Members absent:
Rabbi Weiner called the meeting to
The minutes of the regular May and Annual Meeting of
the Board of Directors of the Skokie Public Library held May 9, 1979 and
the minutes of the Special Meeting held May 23, 1979 were approved as submitted.
Rabbi Weiner set aside the regular order of business in order to
hear two presentations:
JOHNSON CONTROLS, INC.
Mr. Harold Schiewe of Samuel R. Lewis Associates, Inc. reviewed
the Johnson Controls TABS Control Center (Central Control Service) Proposals
and the maintenance contract.
Highlights of that discussion are:
• Johnson's recommendation to add four new area temperature
sensors to areas with the greatest comfort control problems,
and mass sensors to the old and new buildings •
. Johnson's proposed costs to install and monitor the new
points including rewiring of computer software and all other
wire and material necessary to complete the installation .
• Johnson's price to renew monitoring service after the fifth
year as the system is now and if the suggested improvements
are made .
• Johnson's price to renew the maintenance service after the
fifth year as the service is now and if the suggested improvements are made.
The members discussed situations where Library patrons complained
about unpleasantly cold temperatures.
Mr. Schiewe explained why added
controls would alleviate extremes in temperature in the Library buildings.
�- 2 -
In answer to a question from Rabbi Weiner, Mr. Schiewe advised that the
present contract carries no language to take care of conditions of cold.
He felt, however, the system should have worked better under the present
contract.
Mr. Scniewe discussed the in-depth statistical report he had
furnished to the Library Directors relating to the· Central Control Service
proposals.
He suggested that the Board decide:
1) if the Library wants to
add the proposed upgraded service to the buildings.
He believed the proposal
for new services would be advantageous to the Library and recommended taking
them, especially since he felt the costs were not too far out of line; and
2) if the Library wishes to continue the TABS
sy~tem
altogether.
Mr. Schiewe commented on a letter dated April 23, 1979 which
Johnson Controls sent to Miss Radmacher, relating to the 64 service calls
which had been discussed at a meeting with Miss Radmacher, Mr. Schiewe,
Mr. Guderyahn, TABS Service Sales Manager and other TABS personnel.
Mr. Schiewe
related that of the 64 calls, 42 were due to improper Carrier Refrigeration
operation and the balance of the calls were due, basically, to the type of
monitoring Johnson was doing.
Mr. Schiewe accepted the Johnson report as
generally valid.
Discussion took place about the compressor use as it relates to
savings of money and/or fuel and the additional costs of the new contract
with the system change.
Mr. Schiewe felt the operation would be better
because of new technological changes involved, but there would be no money
saved.
He described the new changes and computer-related actions and
observed that new technology will be outdated in a year or so, but said
this is an ongoing situation.
He explained that presently if one sensor
fails, the whole system goes off.
With the new TABS this would not happen.
�-

The new system will also provide more consistent regulated comfort.
The
Board and Mr. Schiewe discussed heating throughout the building with and
without the new control equipment.
Mr. Schiewe suggested thinking about the new central control
contract which should start September, 1980.
He discussed all the points
of the 9/80 contract and suggested considering action for the coming five
years insofar as alternatives are concerned.
the additional points.
This also applies to installing
The consensus of opinion of the Board was to wait
for another month and make a decision then.
Mr. Schiewe urged that main-
tenance be called if problems occur with the heating or cooling.
Rabbi
Weiner, Miss Radmacher and the Directors thanked Mr. Schiewe for his thoughtful report, and he left the meeting.
CLSI
Rabbi Weiner introduced three representatives from CL Systems, Inc.;
Miss Jane Burke, Mrs. Ginger Miloserny and Mr. Walter Winshall, Chairman of
the Board of CLSI.

The question of one supplier, one manufacturer and specific
components.
Miss Radmacher asked about the large computer which accommodates
16 terminals and pointed out the Library could not put its card catalogue in
the seven fields mentioned.
She also felt patrons would not be ready to use
the terminals early next year.
She observed that Release 24 will be available
�- 4 -
next year and asked for a list of the releases and what each will do.
Miss Burke pointed out that statistic s about the public can be
set up to the Library's choosing, i.e., age, occupatio n, geograph ical
location, etc.

Rabbi Weiner replied that the Board is still consideri ng the matter
and is not ready to sign a contract at this time.
The Board is intereste d
in having the Library become computeri zed but needs to review and think
about the subject.
Mr. Winshall assured the Board he was intereste d in
giving the Library input to assist it in its deliberat ions.
Mrs. Hunter
asked to be put on the mailing list so she would receive informati on about
updating availabil ity of their services.
Mr. Winshall informed the Board
that a demonstra tion of the touch terminal will be held at the American
Library Associati on Conferenc e on June 23.
Rabbi Weiner, Miss Radmacher
and all the Directors thanked the represent atives for their presentat ion
and the represent atives left the meeting.
Rabbi Weiner asked the members their pleasure in consideri ng or
tabling the subject.
Mrs. Hunter felt the Library circulatio n system is worth
more for data research purposes, and added that automatio n will not cost
more next year than now.
She opted for waiting.
The other members agreed.
Miss Radmacher commented on a phone call from Mr. McClarren .
He said the
State Library is intereste d in getting a State-wid e automated circulatio n
system.
The State has made a proposal to the Federal governmen t for LSCA
money to help subsidize this program.
Miss Radmacher outlined the formula
which would give 52% for the Skokie Public Library and said this is not

approved as yet but it seems that it will be.
However, if the Library
has signed a private contract, they will not be eligible for a percentage
of the Federal grant.
Mrs. Zatz discussed the disadvantag es of the 2000 category concept.
The members discussed other objections.
Miss Radmacher outlined her concerns
brought out by the Dun & Bradstreet report on CLSI.
The consensus of the
Board members was that this subject should be tabled indefinitel y.
Mrs.
Hunter recommended that the Library· should talk to someone who is not
vendor connected and who is an expert in the field.
Rabbi Weiner returned
the meeting to the regular order of business.
