There is also a recommendation regarding 94 change orders submitted by Connectivity
on Richard Spicer's last day of work. Many of these date back over a year and Mrs.
Anthony questions whether there is not an attempt to take advantage of the change in
personnel at Berglund by resubmitting requests that have been reviewed previously and
denied. After review by Jack Lesniak, Mike Gerrish and Mrs. Anthony, Mrs. Anthony
recommended approval ofnine change orders in the amount of$7,079.31, ofwhich

VALLEYCREST LANDSCAPING, $1,102.00 FOR A TOTAL OF
$9,513.20.
The roll call vote for approval was unanimous.
Susan Greer arrived at 7:35p.m.
Mr. Dyer commented regarding Connectivity's change orders for work completed in the
amount of $7,079 .31. Mr. Dyer recommends holding these change orders until Berglund
is able to do a complete review of all submitted change orders from Connectivity. There
are over 100 change orders. Discussion ensued. Connectivity will be in the Library for
another three to four weeks completing punchlist items. It was the consensus of the Board
that all change orders for work completed from Connectivity be submitted at one time.
Budgetary Status of Construction Project
Mrs. Anthony presented the bimonthly report of the status of the building project fund
showing total projected expense of $19,580,948.00 including contractual commitments
and other budget considerations.
A summary of project revenues to date includes:
Bond Proceeds
$17,500,000.00
Reserve Fund
$1,927,212.00
Interest on Bond Fund
$353,682.00
$19,780,894.00
�4
Balance in the Bond Fund as of June 30, 2003, was $1,651,357. and the Reserve Fund for
Sites and Buildings $1,013,658. Current outstanding liabilities, excluding additional
property purchases, are approximately $1,900,000.
Approval of Cleaning Building Exterior
Mrs. Anthony reported that we had planned to have the precast concrete on the exterior of
the building cleaned at the end of the project and had budgeted $30,000. for this work.
That estimate was suggested by Richard Spicer at Berglund.
Mrs. Anthony asked Michael Gerrish of Berglund to give her a price for the exterior
cleaning as Mr. Spicer had previously volunteered that Berglund performed such work.
Mrs. Anthony presented a quote from Pullman Building Restoration Co. which was
obtained by Michael Gerrish. The pricing of $54,800. to clean the concrete panels and
columns and an additional $11,400. to clean the lower face brick is unacceptably high.
Mrs. Anthony does not recommend approval of this quote.
Mr. Gerrish will secure other quotations and bring this matter back to the Board at a
future meeting.

DIRECTOR"S REPORT
GRAND REOPENING--The Grand Reopening Celebration held Sunday, June 29, was a
grand success with an estimated 4,000 visitors to the Library over a six hour period. Staff
and Mrs. Anthony have had numerous follow-up comments from the public regarding the
great time they had at the Library, enjoying all the entertainment, and also how impressed
�7
they are with the Library facilities and services. The staff really pulled together to get the
Library ready for the day and many staff helped with tours and arrangements. Kudos for
the great party goes to Tracy Shields-O'Reilly who arranged for all the entertainment.
Gail Kay coordinated tours and other staff help while Susan Dickens and Karolyn Fukuda
organized the brunch and cake service.
USAGE--Circulation in June was up an amazing 23%! While AV circulation led the
gains, adult book circulation was up 11% and youth book circulation up 16%. The
publicity about the opening may have stimulated greater use throughout the month
because circulation June 29 was not extraordinary. Tobi Oberman reported that 22 people
signed up for new cards that day, a typical number of registrants for a Sunday. Reciprocal
borrowing for the month was up 28% as folks from neighboring communities came to
check out the newly expanded Library. The gate count appeared to be down for the
month, but that's because the people counter was not installed on the east entrance gates
until July 2.
STATE FISCAL SITUATION--The State's budget woes have been well publicized,
though the impact on libraries is not fully known yet. It appears that systems will have a
15% budget cut. NSLS is reviewing the possibility of charging for some services
previously offered without fees to member libraries. We also understand that the State
will impose an 8% administrative and overhead fee on most library funds which could cut
into the Per Capita Grant receipts. The Library will be filing for a Per Capita Grant by the
July 15 deadline.
PARKING LOT--Approval of the Plan Commission's recommendations for zoning
changes necessary for development of the additional library parking lot was secured at
the Village Board meeting June 16. We are waiting for the permit from the Metropolitan
Water Reclamation Department before starting construction and expect approval within a
week or so.
CONSTRUCTION--Although the party is over, there are still some ongoing construction
issues regarding punch list items and millwork. We need to pass the fire alarm inspection
and receive an occupancy permit from the Village before we can switch from Builder's
Risk coverage to our general liability. We had a small test of the fire alarm system at 3:30
in the morning July 2 when a backflow preventer overflowed in the third floor
mechanical room causing water to drip onto an alarm station in the second floor
mechanical room. The incident gave us the opportunity to update the contents of the
Knox Box and review some procedures with the Fire Department. We have a few items
�8
to complete before the Library can be certified by the Fire Department. Cain Millwork is
backed up so it looks like it will be into August before we get the new stack ends, the AV
entry screen and the book drop for the east vestibule.
ADVOCACY--Mrs. Anthony has had more opportunities for advocacy for the first
amendment, appearing on Chicago Tonight Thursday, June 28, to discuss the Supreme
Court ruling on the Children's Internet Protection Act with Phil Ponce and a
representative of Family PAC, a conservative political action group. Mrs. Anthony was
interviewed and photographed by the Tribune for an article on the USA Patriot Act which
appeared on the front of the Metro section July 3. July 13, Mrs. Anthony will be a
panelist for the League of Women Voters Public Forum at Glenbrook South High School.
Patrick Fitzgerald, U.S. Attorney for the northern district of Illinois, will provide a
perspective as will the ACLU. Other panelists will talk about the impact of the Act on
immigrants and financial institutions. The panel will be moderated by Adrienne Drell, a
former award-winning legal affairs reporter for the Chicago Sun-Times, and now an
assistant professor in the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. The
program is from 2-4 pm.
JULY 4 PARADE--The Mobile Library appeared in the July 4 Parade in Skokie with a
number of staff walking behind to promote summer reading. The visibility is always
good, but it hardly seems necessary to promote the children's summer reading program
with a record of over 1800 children already enrolled.
Mrs. Hunter thanked staff for marching in the parade as it was a very hot day.
RECIPROCAL BORROWING--The North Suburban Library System is stopping all
reimbursements for reciprocal borrowing. Only a few libraries were still getting the
payments and the money will be redirected to other System projects. NSLS will also not
act as an intermediary for those libraries who have reciprocal borrowing with Chicago
Public Library.
YOUTH SERVICES BANNER--A sample banner featuring artwork by Wendell Minor
is hanging in Youth Services. The banner is part of our Read-Imagine-Explore theme
which Jan Watkins is developing for the Department. In addition to the proposed artwork
by Illinois illustrators, several quotes from Illinois children's authors will be featured in
panels on stack ends.
APPROVAL OF UPGRADE OF COLOR COPIER AND REPLACEMENT OF STAFF
COPIER
�9
Mrs. Anthony reported that the Library has had its present color copier for the public
nearly three years, during which time it has had somewhat problematic performance.
Wagner Office Solutions, the firm that maintains our copiers at present, has proposed to
replace our current color copier with a new one for only $2.00 more per month. At
present, we pay $285. per month for our color copier. The proposal is for a 60-month
lease@ $287.00 per month, with the option for buyout at fair market value (10% of
purchase price) at the end. The cost for the 60-month lease would be $17,220.
Note that we have obtained a letter of assurance from Panasonic (which also provided our
present copier) that we will not be responsible for any further lease payments on our
present color copier which will be returned to Panasonic at no charge to us.
The second part of the proposal is for a new staff copier for Youth Services. The
Department's present copier has 3.4 million copies on it which is 400,000 copies beyond
its life span. It functions poorly. This copier has been paid for so we do not have current
payments for the equipment, beyond service. It is proposed to replace the old copier with
a new networkable copier printer at a cost of $340. per month for 60 months with a fair
market value buyout option at 10% of the purchase price. The total cost over 60 months
would be $20,400.
Wagner is offering to "throw in" a 15 copy-per-minute table top copier which will also be
a useful office machine. They also offer a savings of $10.00 per month if we put both
machines on one lease.
We have been satisfied with service from Wagner and Mrs. Anthony recommends Board
approval ofboth leases.
Mrs. Greer made a motion, seconded by Mr. Graham:
MOTION:
THAT THE SKOKIE PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
APPROVE A 60-MONTH LEASE FROM WAGNER OFFICE
SOLUTIONS TO REPLACE THE COLOR COPIER@ $287. PER
MONTH WITH THE OPTION FOR BUYOUT AT FAIR MARKET
VALUE (10% OF PURCHASE PRICE AT THE END)-COST OF 60MONTH LEASE IS $17,220.; AND FOR A NEW NETWORKABLE
COPIER PRINTER FOR YOUTH SERVICES @ $340. PER MONTH
FOR 60 MONTHS WITH A FAIR MARKET VALUE BUYOUT
OPTION AT 10% OF THE PURCHASE PRICE-COST OF 60-MONTH
LEASE IS $20,400.
�10
The roll call vote for approval was unanimous.
SUPREME COURT RULING ON CIPA
Mrs. Anthony reported that the Supreme Court Ruling on the Children's Internet
Protection Act (CIP A) was both disappointing and surprising. Since the Court has twice
previously struck down similar measures, stating that they infringed on the rights of
adults to have access to constitutionally protected speech, it was surprising that the
judgment this time was that filters should be used on all library computers in libraries
receiving federal assistance.
Although the judgment was 6-3, there was no majority report. Four justices signed the
report written by Chief Justice Rehnquist, while Justices Kennedy and Breyer expressed
concern for adults' access to information, but stated that the filters could be turned off for
adults on request.
No immediate action is needed in response to the ruling. The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) will issue rules on how libraries are to comply, but they will not be
out before July 20 at the earliest. ALA is having a "summit on filters" with vendors
August 14 to learn more about how filters work and to state librarians' concerns and
needs. ALA has encouraged the FCC to allow libraries until July 1, 2004 to comply with
the filtering mandate.
So far, the Skokie Public Library does not seem to be directly affected by the decision.
Mrs. Anthony presented a chart showing Federal E-rate funds the Library has received in
recent years as well as other grant and gift funds. The Library's E-rate funding has been
for telephone service, not for costs of an Internet Service Provider so that would not be a
problem. The Library does, however, benefit from our connection to the Internet through
the Illinois Century Network, a State consortium. Skokie Public Library could be affected
if the Illinois Century Network receives E-rate funding. CIP A's filtering provision
applies to LSTA funds that are used to pay the costs of an Internet Service Provider or to
purchase computers used for Internet access.
The CIP A language says that filters must "protect" against access to visual depictions
defined in the act. The degree of protection is a local decision. Should the Board decide at
some point that the Library needs to be in compliance, it may be possible to find a filter
that minimally limits information for staff and adults. If an individual or group believes
the library is in violation of CIPA, they may not initiate legal action against the library,
but may complain to the FCC.
�11
Mrs. Anthony will keep the Board informed as more information becomes available
about CIPA compliance rules.
ARTICLES
Four articles were noted: "Rooftops used to be urban, now they can be downright
bucolic", Chicago Sun-Times, June 13, 2003; "Cuba's jailed librarians get no succor
from the ALA", The Wall Street Journal, June 20, 2003; "Smut-filter law angers libraries:
rejecting funds is one method to bypass rule", Chicago Tribune, June 26, 2003; "Libraries
guarding patrons' privacy: records purged despite new law", Chicago Tribune, July 3,
2003.
