this procedure done.
Mr. Schoeffmann also said that he would recommend
waiting until the winter to get bids and do the job in the Spring because
there has to be two weeks of good weather after the concrete is poured in
order for it to dry properly, and he also is not sure whether he can get
the Village pavers to come back to do the job anymore this year.

prepared.

up there should be no problem in getti_ng the job done before the bad weather.

settling in about six places mainly around the sewers.

He
said his specifications call for removing the entire sidewalk and all the
"junk " down at l east two feet, and then put in two feet of crushed stone .
He also proposes to build a catch basin at the south end.
Mr . Klein told the Board that he feels that problems could arise
with the work being done by two different
contr~ctors,
namely the Village
having the responsibility for the driveway and his contractors doing the
sidewal k , because if there is any damage from one to the other , who takes
-z
the responsibility :
He asked that the Board make/
its decision tonight
so that he can complete the specifications inunediately .
Mr. Kle in retired from the meeti ng.

Correction, Page 2, AUDITOR'S REPORT, second paragraph:
Dr. Bloch pointed out uo Mr. Salasche that the reserve funds
earmarked for capital improvements will be largely depleted when we have done
what is necessary to maintain the institution.
Since our reserves have been
built up through prudent spending and investments in high-interest notes,
which are not likely to be available in the near future, he asked Mr. Salasche's
opinion regard:ingthe level of operating funds which a prudent Library Board should
try to maintain as a cushion.

REPORT FROM KLEIN & HOFFMAN ON SIDEWALK
Mr. Klein reported that extensive removal of driveway and sewer
lines in the driveway.was made necessary by the fact that when the old
�- 2-
buildings which were previously on the site were demolished , much of
the old building debris was left in the basements instead of being
removed .
As a result there was settle:-:ent over a period of time of the
sewer , manholes and driveway causing leaks in manholes and piping .
In
addition , pipi ng was not properl y p i tched for drainage in some areas .
Th e settlement created ponding whi ch contributed to the clogging.
In addition , some of the manholes were too shallow and silt
clogged the inlets and outlets of the ma nholes effectively preventing
drain age .
All this had to be cor rected to prevent additional future settlement of the drive and sidewalk caused by losing ground into the sewer and
manholes .
Chemtret was sprayed on the terazzo to safeguard it against the
damaging effect of snow-melting salt .
Mr . Klein said that he was looking into the value of Chemtret
in resisting the effect of graf i tti on the face of the building and the
columns .
A report will be made to the Board .
Mr . Klein told the Board that a foundation wall had been built
at the edge of the sidewalk to he l p prevent settlement of the walk .
Mr . Lambajian recommend ed the u se of a snow b l ower i n stead of
the Vil l age plow wh i ch automaticall y sprays snow- me l ting salt .
However ,
the concrete would be considered cured by the end of January and snowmelting salt would not then be as damaging as it is on fresh concrete .
Mr . Lambajian said t h at he would get a 9rice for the cost of T.fEll1";1N~

~IBRARY
USE STATISTICS
It was noted that t h e microcomputer use statist ics were very
impressive .
The question arose as to whether there has been any thought
given to lending computer software .
Miss Radmacher said that we do not

�-.4-
Dr. Wozniak made a motion, _seconded by Mrs. Weiner, to place the
Circulation Reports and Library Use Statistics on file.
The motion passed
unanimously.
CORRESPONDENCE
The letter from Mrs. Sara Zucker regarding her complaint that the
Library
is not enforcing the "No Parking" in front of the building was
discussed.
The issue was tabled until the next meeting to give the trustees
more time to study it and then decide how to handle the situation.
In the
meantime Miss Radmacher will contact the Police Department to see what they
would suggest.
The letter from Ruth Dick and the letters from Steven P ~- Jobs
and Mrs. Hunter's response were duly noted.
Mrs. Merritt asked if it is possible to reserve the Library's
small conference rooms.
Miss Radmacher said that since there are so few
rooms they have been used on a first come, first served basis.
Miss Radmacher
will get staff opinions regarding reservation of conference rooms.

REPORT ON AUTOMATION PROJECT
Mrs. Hunter told the Board that the Highland Park Public Library
had not notified the JCPL regarding their decision.
Miss Radmacher reported that Mr. Tom Parfitt, Deerfield Public
Library Board President, suggests writing to the Highland Park Public Library
Board acknowledging their withdrawal from the group and also writing the
Waukegan Public Library with the idea of meeting early in March to explore
their interest in joining the JCLP group.
The trustees made the following recommendations:
1.
Put out feelers to the Waukegan Public Library between
now and our next Board meeting. The Waukegan Public
Library must understand that a decision would have to
be made by them quickly because the JCPL wants to go
ahead with the project as soon as possible.
2.
A letter, written by the JCPL attorney, should be sent
to Highland Park Public Library Board accepting their
withdrawal and spelling out their obligations.
3.
Joe Matthews should do the RFP's for the three
libraries in order to know what the cost will be to
each library if it has to be divided three ways instead
of four.

costs of the new accounts available in banks.
