Trustee Kriloff made a motion to use some of the
money from the Alice Fricke Memorial Fund to purchase the fountain
for the patio out of the Special Fund . The motion was seconded
by Trustee Nagle and carried unanimously.
Librarian Bergsing reported the carpet installation
had gone smoothly and she was pleased with the results .
Assistant City Librarian Molder reported that the
conversion is going quite well . She said there have been 5
temporary part-time staff hired to do the conversion , and she
is pleased with their work. She said all of the applicants
are educated , intelligent people. Mrs . Molder said she will
have to hire 2 more people to adequately fill the on-line time
slots for the conversion project .
Librarian Bergsing said that Warren Wickliffe 's retirement
party was a huge success and she thanked everyone responsible
for things going so smoothly. Trustee Nagle complimented whoever
had done the picture enlargements .
Librarian Bergsing said that last Friday there were
interviews held for the position of P.L.S. Director at the
San Mateo Public Library. The entire P.L.S. Board interviewed
the prospective candidates , but no decision was made . Several
of the Board are checking references on the top candidates ,
and they are meeting again on Thursday , August 18th . Hopefully
a decision will be reached at that time .
Trustee Harvey said he had spoken with two of the
contractors that had picked up the plans for the Duncan Patio
Project . He found the need to tell the builders that it was
a private job , rather than a City job so the contractors would
feel more comfortable about bidding it . He said the bids may
be high and therefore we may need to renegotiate to cut costs .
However , he is waiting to see the bids before making any changes .
He said he would report to the Board at their next meeting.
Trustee Kriloff asked about the condition of the foundation ,
and asked if that had been included in the pians . Mrs . Bergsing
said it was mentioned in the specifications and there would
be an investigation of the foundation leak as part of the project.
