This agenda is for the morning Library Board meeting and the afternoon Open House, which will be attended by the board, also. Call to order: 11:10 AM Attendance: Nancy Butler, Ed Hershberger, Lynn Lewinski, Jacki Rubin, and Anne Kantola. (Jamie Bell will join us for the afternoon Open House.) Minutes: Approved with editing. Director's Report: Anne is feeling a bit pressured with many deadlines, but coping. The Eames Collection will be temporarily housed at the Centralldhao Historical Museum, next door to the Pumphouse Book Store. This is a great way to keep the collection intact. "The Library Board agrees to the off-site housing of the Eames collection provided that a letter accompany the collection stating the fact that this is a temporary loan" motion by Nancy, seconded by Jacki and approved by all. Budget and Stats :Looks good, lots of movies and audio books out. Staff: Doing well and looking forward to this afternoon's Open House. It was discussed and decided to charge a formula-based moderate fee to cover the costs of Spanish Classes. This fee change will be added to the agenda bill for the copy machine additional charges. Friend's Report: The Friends have generously decided to donate the rest of the funding for the Library carpeting! They have been wonderful in supporting us. Please note the interesting stats that they sent along for us to share. Old Business: Copy Machine: The new machine is here. It does not fax as that would take a dedicated phone line and would not pay for itself. It seems to have trouble making change, but the repairs will be made this week. It is quite a fancy machine. Additional fees to cover new features are: Color copies or prints: $.50 per side (., Scanning documents to personal computer: $2.00 for up to 10 page job. A motion was made and seconded, and unanimously approved by the board to accept all fees for copier and classes. lighting: The lighting project is completed. All the light bulbs have been disposed of properly, which is more complicated than just tossing in the trash. The lighting change is fantastic, and gives the building a different feeling. The paint and shelves are more noticeable, as well as the wonderful murals that we have. Quite nice. Unattended Children: Staff is in progress of making signs for this issue. New Business: Evaluation: Completed after adjournment of the general meeting. New Board Member: Lynn is happily staying on, as are the standing officer positions that were all settled in October of 2009. Open House: We will all be attending at various times and looking forward to a nice event. Building plans: The Board is hoping that the City Council will move on with the City Campus concept. Adjournment :11:55 of open general meeting with the evaluation of Anne following until 12:20. Our next meeting is scheduled for Feb. 17, 2009, at 4:00 V\ ~ DateNan~Chair
