                  <text>�Clark Coan as~ed about the question of an all-electric building.
v~. Stalcup told h 1 m that the architects, the gas company and the electric
company hav7 been consulted and the electric building seems to be the
most econom1.cal.
Hr. ltayo.reported that no~hing has been done yet by the lawyer working
on the electr1c rates. There 1s a possibility that the libraries will have
to hire a different attorney.
nr. Hayo told the Board that the Library has started a shut-in service
at the Samaritan Rest Home. le will put a small collection there and
change it every two weeY~ or so.
He reported that Thelma Helyar will be spending some time in England
while her husband is on sabbatical leave from the University. Mrs. Helyar
has worked for some time in the reference dep~rtment on a part-time basis •
.fuen she returns she will start working with Mrs. Osma in Technical Processing \dth the possibility of taking over when J:rs. Osma retires.
The Ilortheast Kansas Library System would like to borrow our multilith
machine and put it at the Johnson County Library until such time as we are
in our new building. Mr. Drury moved that we loan the multilith to NEKL
~ith the understanding that they be responsible for maintenance and do all
of our printing until we are in the new building when it is to be returned
to us. Clark Coan seconded the motion. It was unanimous. Mr. r1ayo was
asked to get a letter containing the terms of the agreement.
Drury suggested that he talk to Denny Stephens, the State Librarian,
about hurrying the state's work on the new building. The Board agreed
that this would be a good idea.
~ir.

Stalcup said he would talk to Buford Iatson, City U mager, about
he and the city commission attending the next meeting with the architects.
hr. flayo showed the Board the furniture layout that 1-!r. Paine had
worked out. He said that the architects fairly \tell agree with Paine on
it.
t'r. Hayo told the Board that the Library needs :1 new typewriter in
Technical Processing. He would like to get an I~i electric. He said he
would have the figures at the next meeting.
The Hovember and December bills were approved by roll call.
Dr. Drury u ested that someone other than himself be the Library's
represent t'v ~ g~
He said he just doesn't have time to do the job.
'owever, :o .L o~e ~lse w;nted to tal-=:e it so he said he would keep the position.
The next meeting will be at 3:30 on February 16th. It starts :arly
because there ldll be a 1970 annual meeting before the regular meet.Lng.

Mr. l1ayo explained the end of the year balance in all funds . These

would draw interest . Mr . Mayo said he would look into it and report at
the next meeting .
Mr . Mayo explained that we will have to budget for two buildings next
Year.The next budget will be 2·:_:, mils starting in January, 1972 . We :rill
have to publish the budget in August and have hearings if we go to 2~ mils.
If we stay with the city they will want our budget in June • A p~b~shed
budget would have to be more flexible than our present ones . Th1s ~s because we can r t transfer funds from one area to another with a published
~udget . Mr . Mayo said he would have to talk to the auditors abou~ it. .
J~r • l4ay0 reported that Topeka, Salina and Hutchinson are tax-levy:tng bod1es .
There has been a law introduced in the state legislature to use the county
census figures as the official count rather than the federal. This could
Pllt Lawrence back under 3s,ooo because the county does not include the
~versity students in its count.

The Board of Directors of the Lm~nce Public Library held a special
meeting on April 1, 1971 at 4 p.m. in the Board Room of the Librar.y.

Larry Flanneey, James Drury &amp; Skipper Williams . Also present were
City Commissioners James Black &amp; Clark Horton . Other visitors included
City Manager Buford Watson, Asst . City Manager Denny Kallesen &amp; architect

The meeting was called to order. Discussion concerned the bids for the

new library. Among the items discussed were the alternates to the contract, suggested deletions by the architect and the cost of carpeting.

Mr. Morton, as City Commission representative on the project , expressed
the feeling of the Commission as to alternates and deletions . He said
the Couunission would be willing to pay the cost of paving the parking
lot provided the Board were willing to add back certain alternates . These
included landscaping, concrete floor in the storage area, and the elevator.
He also suggested that ductwork not be deleted in the storage area.
After much discussion on these and other points the following motion
was made by Clark Coan:
That the Board recommend to the City Commission that it accept the base
bid minus alternates of $ 1, 099, 960. 00 as submitted by Green Construction Co . Further, that we negotiate to provide for the following items :
$ 6, 000 for landscaping, $ 4, 000 for a concrete floor in room 028 and
$13 ,395 for a 2, 000 lb. capacity elevator. Also, that items 7, 10 and
15 as per attached list be included in the construction program . That
item# ~ on this list, the parking lot, be deleted from the building
contract with the understanding that the City will pay for this at a
cost of $ 101 200. And, that the Library Board strongly recommends to
the City Co~nission that the stone veneer in alternate G-2 be reinstated in the contract and that if necessary the Board could be responsible for landscaping which has been budgeted at a cost of $ 6, 000.
Seconded by Larry Flannery. Motion carried unanimously.

Note was made by the Board of a letter of acknowledgement from the family
of Mr. A.B. Ewing in response to the Board ' s gift ofi a memorial book in
memory of Mr . Ewing .
Meeting was adjourned.

�SPECI.Ml NEETING
May

5,

1971

The Board of Directors of the Lawrence Free Public Library held
a special meeting on May 5 at 4 p.m. in the office of the City
Manager.
Present were: Chairman Clark Coan, James Drury, Skipper \villiams
and Howard raseman. Also present were Asst . City Manager Dennis
Kallesen and Wayne Mayo.

Purpose of the meeting was to discuss methods of funding library
operations for 1972 . James Drury reviewed the several possibilities
available for funding for next year . He also discussed the legal
problems involved as a result of the recent legislative session.
It was felt that Senate Bill 23 takes the Librar,y out from under
the tax lid , This would, said Dr. Drury allow the City to pass
a charter ordinance taking us out from under KSA 12-1215 and yet

allow the city to provide taxation of aproximately 2. 5 mills
under its present budget arrangement. It was Dr. Drury's feeling
that this was preferable to the Library ' s becoming a separate
taxing unit.

Mr. Kallesen discussed the timing factors involved in passing such
a charter ordinance . One consideration was the potential problem

which could arise i f a petition were presented opposing such an
increase . Mr. Kallesen felt that if this did occur, the ce• rtifyi.ng
of a budget for next year might be delayed past the legal time .

In discussing the possibility of the library coming under 12-1215
discussion centered around the need to have reached 35,000 in time
to certify a budget . Mr . Kallesen said it was the City Attorney's
opinion that the census figure from the county would become official
when it was certified on July 15th. The feeling was that we would
reach 35, 000 at that time . If, however, we did not, the possibility
of no-fund warrants was discussed.
It was the feeling of Mr. Kallesen that perhaps the best solution was
to certify under 12 -1215 for 1972 and then that the board request
the Connnlssion early next year to pass a charter ordinance putting
~ back into the city budget for 1973 .
The feeling of the members present was that this decision should be made
by the full board at its regular meeting on the 18th of May. Meeting
was adjourned.

THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION WAS PASSED BY THE
LIBRARY BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT ITS MEETING
ON HAY 18, 1971.
•

lihereas Kansas Statutes Annotated 12-1215 &amp; 12-1216 require th.! the LibrarJ
soards i n ci tics of the state with more than 35, 000 population become pro~rty tax levying authorities making appropriate certifications directly to
the County Clerk ,
~'hereas the City of Lawrence may reasonably be expected to be found to have

r:ora than 35, 000 in the next (1971) census, it would appear that this section
of the Statutes will apply,
i'hereas the Library Board is appointed by the Lawrence City Commission,

Ti'hereas in our judgement property taxes should be authorized and levied only
by the elected representatives of the people,
•'hereas the levying of property taxes would tend to make the Library Board
nore of a separate unit of government and would merely serve to make for
Mre fragmented and complicated local government,
~ereas the Lawrence City Commission has fully supported the librar.r func-

tions and its activities and has shown understanding and a willingness to
further the Library and its operations, there is no cause for changing the
existing pattern for levying taxes for the library operation,
'li'ne:eas the Lawrence City Commission has authority under the Kansas Constitutlon to pass a charter ordinance exempting itself (and thus the Library)
from the operation of K.S. A. 12-1215 &amp; 12-1216,
Be it resolved therefor that:

~e Library Board formally requests and recommends to
. ody that it pass a charter ordinance at the earliest

Gentlemen:
The attached resolution was passed unanimously by the Board of Directors of

the La\U'ence Public Library at its regular meeting on Hay 18th.
~~ould

like to call to your attention the last paraeraph of the resolution.
~cifically, that sentence requesting the Commission to pass a charter ordinance "at the earliest practicable time." The feeling of the Board was that
~ere were three likely alternatives which the Commission might consider.

!, That a charter ordinance be passed immediately and become effective for

the calendar year 1972.
B. That the Library Board certify its own levy for 1972 under provisions
of K. S. A. 12-121.5 &amp; 12-1216 with the understanding that the Commission

•ould pass a charter ordinance early next year to become effective for
calendar year 1973.
C. That no charter ordinance be passed and that the Library Board certify

its own levy for 1972 and for subsequent years.
p. t

?lll s

B &amp; C are, of course, predicated upon the assumption that Lawrence
~ll reach a population of at least 35,000 when the 1971 census is certified
on July 15th. If alternatives B or C were taken and such population did not
reach 35,000, it is our understanding that the Library would be forced to
O!&gt;erate in 1972 on no-fund warrants.

~~the

Commission prefers either alternate A orB, the Library Board will
, en be prepared to recommend certain i terns which it feels should be in1
BUded in such a charter ordinance such as the amount of millage the
~ard anticipates it will need to ~perate the larger library facility to
C011Jpleted next year.
·

T'hank

You for your consideration.

~said the K. P • &amp; L. Company 1mplied they would challenge the legality of city dif! rentialin rate • Attorneys have been delayed in reply because of lack of compari.c~n rates which the electric Company were reluctant to furnish. All activities of t,he

Clark Coan had been advised by the Hospital Board that their opinion concurred and pro~bzy
