02-14-2003 LIBMMinutes for the special Library Board Meeting
Feb. 14, 2003
A special meeting of the Hutchinson Library Board was called for 2 p.m.
Friday, Feb. 14. Attending the meeting were Julie Jensen, Kay Peterson,
Newt Potter, Connie Lambert and Archie Kucera, Hutchinson Public Library
custodian. Julie Wischnack, Lee Wright, city center maintenance, and Barry
Grieve, building official, attended the meeting.
Lee presented tile samples and a decision was made regarding the the
selection. A decision regarding the border of the ceiling will be
determined as the ceiling is built.
Lee also presented information on lighting fixtures. The board requested
there be no loss of light due to new fixtures. As a result, Lee presented
information on four different lighting options. After much discussion, a
decision was made to pursue a hanging white and brass fixture with
decorative chains.
A decision was also made to strip two ceiling beams that are currently
painted.
The first step in the library restoration project will begin within the next
two weeks with the removal of the wooden baseboard for stripping. Lee
indicated volunteers would be welcome when it came time to varnish the
trim.
