their classes how to research a subject at such a young age.
Trustee Hechinger commended the "Friends" on their generous additions to our Audio Visual

OLD BUSINESS:

LIBRARIAN' S REPORT
April 16, 1974
BUILDING:
Air conditioning--Inability to meet state energy saving requirements. After considerable
discussion with Commercial Air Conditioning, Inc. (our maintenance contractor and some
experience with their attempts at adjusting the electronic thermostats) they stated that
we should change to Minneapolis Honeywell at a possible expense of two to three thousand
dollars or more as all valves would have to be changed. I decided to contact Ed Davis,
a specialist in Barber Coleman thermostats, recommended by Mr. Akin the engineer of our
system.
Mr. Davis is now with the Scott Company who also do maintenance contracting and he is
sending perhaps the best Barber Coleman mechanic in the Bay Area. He states emphatically
that they can be adjusted to the 6$' heat and 78* cooling required by the state. This
will not only meet state requirements but stop the constant cycling of hot then cold in
some units.

NOTES
M-17 Records, casettes and art prints
Funds for records and cassettes have been derived from the Lions Club,
copy machine and gifts for this purpose. The Lions Club funds are now
used almost entirely by the Children ' s Reading Club programs. The copy
machine profits are considerably less as the cost of paper and toner go
up and the maintenance contract is also taking a larger share of the
proceeds. We feel that in order to carry on the ever increasing record
and cassette circulation that a definite amount should be budgeted.
M-27 Insurance
This item perhaps should be deleted from our budget and from the budgets
of the Park and Recreation departments. It was originally added when
support for the General Fund was low and this seemed a way to increase
it. Now this may be a way to avoid an increase in the tax rate by
transferring M-27 back to the General Fund.
