Old Business
Annex Renovation – Director Tacke reports on getting quotes for annex renovation: One quote for $19,000-$21,000 for a top to bottom renovation of the room, floor,  walls etc. and an additional $4,200 for the two library doors. A quote for ~$8,000 for A/V equipment for the annex. A request for quote is out for the furniture and cabinets.  Tim Burke confirmed this should all be eligible for a construction grant. 
Director Tacke talked to the Village Mayor and he is supportive of the renovations. The Board is not planning on renovating the hallway at this time. The board probably needs another quote to meet our financial best practices.
 
Discussion on whether the library has the cash on hand to start this fall before grant money would be available if awarded.  The discussion will be moved to the finance committee to determine what can be done this year and what will have to be postponed until a grant is awarded and money available.
 
The Board asked Director Tacke to get another quote for a contractor to redo the annex.
 
Trustee Goldstein motions to authorize Director Tacke to submit the construction grant proposal for the entire annex renovation project to UHLS.  Vice President Mullahy seconded. Unanimously approved.
