OLD BUSINESS:
Chairman Cohendet stated that, as Col . Norberg was present, the building would be the
next subject on the agenda. Col . Norberg explained the plans as they had been modified
and submitted them to the Library Board for their approval. Several questions were
asked by those present concerning the extent of the carpeting, exits, and type of
drinking fountain to be provided by the Women's Club of Burlingame. On a motion by
Trustee De Martini seconded by Trustee Lynes, the Board expressed its approval of the
plans and recommended them to the City Council for final action. Motion carried.
San Mateo Libraries Cooperative Project: The Librarian stated that the Joint Exercise
of Power Agreement had been approved by the City Council and that it was at present
Circulating around the various cities, and that the system would probably be in operation
by the first of September.
Steinbeck Property: The Librarian stated that as far as he knew no action had taken
place on the Steinbeck property, but it had been on one study session agenda and
would probably be on another. It was his understanding that the present price is not
too much greater than the lot and the small section between it and the Donnelly Avenue
parking lot, which, he believes, came to a total of about $60,000. The Board urged the
Librarian to contact whoever might follow through and make a determination of whether
or not the Council wished to go further with this.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned on a motion by Trustee De Martini
seconded by Trustee Phelan, at 8:30 P. M.
Respectfully submitted,

Clerk of the Board
