Trustee Harvey mentioned that he knew someone who might be interested
in purchasing the organ. She will be in to look at it soon. Mrs. Bergsing
said she would be getting an estimate of how much the organ is worth and
the Board could determine what the selling cost should be if anyone wishes
to purchase it.
Librarian Bergsing said the Library Services Contract to Hillsborough
is about to expire and to determine the use & cost. She will be using the
new circulation system to gather statistics.
Librarian Bergsing also announced that she may be able to obtain
"Teleguide" (a computerized restaurant and entertainment guide) at no
charge. She said they normally charged between $500 and $600 per month to
place the guides, however since there is so much "foot traffic" in the
Library, the company will consider installing one at no charge.
Mrs. Bergsing said that the new fiscal year budget had been presented to
the City Manager and it will be available to the Board members at the May
meeting. Some discussion followed.
