.Minutes of the special meeting of the Board of Directors of the Skokie Public
·Library held February 17, 1972, at 7:30 p. m.
Members present:
Terry Engel, Diana Hunter, Selma Petty, John Wozniak and
Rabbi Karl Weiner, also Miss Mary Radmacher, Chief Librarian.
Also present:
James W. Hammond and George Getty, from Hammond Beeby
and Associates.
- --- ·Rabbi Weiner explaine·d the special meeting was called for action to be taken
concerning fnecottage af 5219 Oakton Street and suggested changes by the architect
on the expansion program.
Miss Radmacher reported Mr. Zar stopped work on the house on February 10,
as requested.
To date he has. spent $2, 900 to $3, 000.
She contacted two plumbing
companies for estimates on supplying water to the house and providing a sewer line
to the sewer in the street.
Mr. Medwick of the Village said we must connect to the
sewer on Oakton Street and not to the Library sewer.
The Amis. Company quoted
$3, 000 and Mr. Conway from The Conway Company quoted $3, 500.
The roofing
people have not looked at the house yet to quote a figure but Mr. Zar estimated it
in the amount of $550.
Rabbi Weiner said the question now is that $3, 000 has been expended by Mr. Za!',
adding to that what it will .cost to take the house down, does the Board wish to raze
it rather than invest some $4, 000 to $4, 500 to finish the job and not know when it
will be used.
If the house is razed, seven or eight parking spaces will be gained.
Mr. Hammond said the cost of making the parking lot would be around $2, 000.
The
question was asked if the demolition was something which had to be done immediately.
Mr. Hammond replied that there was no problem since the concrete could not be
poured for at least sixty days.
The Board's decision had to be whether the use of the
house for a resident custodian justified the additional expenditure.
that it would be a useful thing.
Consensus was
The possibility of hiring a custodian was discussed
�- 2 -
and whether or not this could be accomplished through advertising.
Motion by Mrs.
Hunter, seconded by Dr. Wozniak.
Motion:
That the Skokie Public Library Board set a time table of
two weeks to determine if someone can be hired to move
into the house and if, after two weeks this proved impractical,
then demolition or other alternatives should be considered.
To implement this procedure an advertisement should be
placed in THE TRIBUNE or suitable publication seeking a
custodian and grounds keeper who would reside in the cottage
at 5219 Oakton Street and that a period of two weeks be used
to pursue--this and the Board should reconsider this matter
at the March Board meeting.
Voting on the motion was as follows:
Terry Engel, yes; Diana Hunter, yes; Selma
Petty, no; John Wozniak, yes; and Karl Weiner, yes.
Motion carried.
Mr. Hammond said he has been given a carpet arrival date and more assurances
concerning the deli very date for the stacks, but, he thinks it looks extremely tight
for the June 28 date to receive guests during the annual ALA Conference in Chicago
this summer.
He discussed the Building Program budget.
On cost changes in pro-
cess, on the precast concrete benches including installation, a verbal figure: of
$3, 000 has been given by the supplier.
a cost of $300, has been approved.

The contingencies have been reduced to
or{ other commitments to be satisfied and desirable additions,
$3, 000 had been committed to lanc:lscaping fee for :Mr. Caldwell for the Library and
for the Village Green.
The architects recommended spending an additional $15, 000
for landscaping,, making a total of $20, 000.
The book drop will cost $3, 000 which is already committed, as is the $1, 000 for
a bicycle rack.
Under furnishings and equipment the low bid was $429, 237.
Mr. Hammond sug-
gested an additional $6, 000 be allocated for incidentals, miscellaneous items and

supplies such as ash trays, waste baskets, etc.
Since audio Visual area will be in the old Lecture Room, more equipment ±nay be
purchased.
Mrs. Hunter has been looking at audio visual equipment with Miss
Radmacher and recommend s employing a professiona l A V consultant or hiring
a service to do this job.
The next item recommend ed was a bookmobile canopy at $4, 000.
It was recommend ed that an additional $25, 000 be spenf on modificatio ns to the
west building.
This would be over and above the amount in the base bid of $16, 148
already included in Corrigan 1 s contract.
Mr. Hammond said he thought the Board should seriously think of going out to
bid on remodeling the west
building,inc.iu:di~gzasking
that the ventilating system will not be redone.
Corrigan to bid on it.
He said
Some of the problems can be corrected
by using screening, curtains and convectors along the brick wall which has radiated
some cold.
There will be cleaning, painting and miscellane ous repairs.
Motion by
Dr. Wozniak, seconded by'Mr. Engel, which, on roll call vote, carried unanimousl y.
Motiion:
Pursuantto the architect 1 s recommend ation, the Skokie
Public Library Board advertise for bidders for the work
of modificatio n of the west building.
· Modificatio n and upgrading of the central meeting room and administrat ive area
are now in negotiation with Corrigan but the Board may want to go out on bid for this.
The cost corrigan has given to do the remainder of the work is $30, 000 ~hich is
very high.
Rabbi Weiner asked Mr. Hammond 1 s recommend ation whether or not the
Board should go out for bids.
Mr. Hammond said that al though we are being over-
charged somewhat by Corrigan for this job, it would be more difficult to coordinate
because it is such an integral part of the new building.
The Board agreed to go
along on this since $30, 000 is a confirmed figure from Corrigan.
Motion by Mrs.
Petty, seconded by Dr. Wozniak.
Motion:
That the Skokie Public Library Board of Directors approve
the expenditure of $20, 000 additional cost for modificatio n
and upgrading of central meeting room and administra tive area.
