New elevator terms and pricey door-opener bid prompt trustees to seek alternatives
Summary
Director Sam Walters told the board that Otis proposed new elevator terms that would require more than $10,000 in upgrades; he also reported a high bid from Cooney's Locksmith and Security for a Main Street door opener and said he will seek Friends of the Library assistance to cover part or all of the cost.
Director Sam Walters told trustees that Otis, the company that maintains the library elevator, had produced a new “terms of agreement” that the director said would force the library to make “over $10,000 in unneeded upgrades.” Walters said he will review the new terms more closely before accepting or declining them.
Walters also reported he received a bid from Cooney’s Locksmith and Security for a replacement door opener for the Main Street entrance. Because the bid is high, Walters said he will ask the Friends of the Library for all or part of the cost. The minutes record the director’s intent to pursue alternatives but do not record a specific procurement decision, expenditure authorization, or schedule.
