Special Fund bills totaling $631.11'were ordered paid on a motion by Trustee Phelan, seconded by Trustee Lynes and unanimously carried. MINUTES: Minutes of the meeting of February 19, 1974 were approved and ordered filed. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT: Trustee Lynes made comment as to the report of the rise in juvenile book circulation attributed to the Nancy Drew series being added to the collection. Trustee Phelan commented that she was happy to see that St. Catherine's School is teaching 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 Department. OLD BUSINESS: Easton Drive Branch: The Librarian reported that the architect has not yet completed pricing out the entire project. Roofing bids in the range of $2,000 to $2,500 have been obtained with hopes of having it done during the summer. Bids for painting the Branch are also being obtained. NEW BUSINESS: A-Day and Night Janitorial Service: On a motion by Chairman De Martini, seconded by Trustee Cohendet, the Board approved a change in the monthly service rate, of the A-Day and Night Janitorial Service, up to an additional $50 per month upon the discretion of the Librarian. Periodicals: The Librarian reported that there are 650 volumes of bound periodicals that have been withdrawn from the Easton Branch Library collection. Discussion was held and suggestions were made regarding the disposing of these volumes. It was decided that they could be turned over to any system member who could make use of them. ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 8:07 P.M. with the next Board meeting scheduled for April 16, 1974. Respectfully submitted, 91 George Paul Lechich Clerk of the Board LIBRARIAN' S REPORT April 16, 1974 BUILDING: Air conditioning--Inability to meet state energy saving requirements. After considerable discussion with Commercial Air Conditioning, Inc. (our maintenance contractor and some experience with their attempts at adjusting the electronic thermostats) they stated that we should change to Minneapolis Honeywell at a possible expense of two to three thousand dollars or more as all valves would have to be changed. I decided to contact Ed Davis, a specialist in Barber Coleman thermostats, recommended by Mr. Akin the engineer of our system. Mr. Davis is now with the Scott Company who also do maintenance contracting and he is sending perhaps the best Barber Coleman mechanic in the Bay Area. He states emphatically that they can be adjusted to the 6$' 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.
