Decided to advertise for a Clerk I position, then after a 90 day trial, the

suggested this, Ed motioned to accept and was approved by all.

6. Old Business:
A. Budget. $200,000. Anne will have the final budget to be picked up at
the library after this afternoon's City Council meeting.
B. Resident definition. A resident is a person or family who lives inside
the city limits. To verify residence, a person shall show a valid Idaho
driver's license, State identification card, rental or lease agreement,
voter registration card, phone, utility or power bill for service, or
appropriate documentation at the address where the person resides.
Ed motioned to approve this definition, which Susie seconded. Robert
Strope should be credited for helping the Board arrive at this definition
consistent with other departments in the city. See attachment for
resolution language.
C. Districting report. Anne and Roberta Pershing attended the July 7
meeting in which Donnelly residents were well represented. Minutes
from that meeting were handed out. There will be no University of
Idaho assessment this year. The Districting team will have a booth at
the Valley County Fair this year. Anne plans to present the Districting
idea to the Friends of the Library tomorrow (7-18), and to the
Progressive Club in October. Anne requested that the Board talk up
the Districting idea to form an exploratory group for the McCall area.
Next Districting meeting is July 28 at 6:30 at the Donnelly Bible
Church.
7. New Business:
A. Fees. The Board approved the following rates: $ .20 per page for use
of the photocopier, $25 for a non-resident library card, $ .20 per item
per day for fines for overdue material, $2 per 15 minutes and $5 per
hour for use of the library computers for those without library cards.
Also see attached resolution language for more explanations. These
fees were approved by the board for submission to the City Council in
mid -August via a new resolution.
B. Coin copier. See above. Raised rate from $ .10 to $ .20 per page.
C. Computer charges. See above. $2 per 15 minutes and $5 per hour for
use of the library computers for those without library cards.
D. Policy manual. We need to start working on library policy since we are
lacking up-to-date policies for everything. Sue and Anne will take
charge of this duty by using the general small rural library policy format
reviewed months ago. We have a resident policy now and a computer
usage policy to incorporate into the manual.
E. Fund-raising. Christie brought this issue up as a way to make more
money for the library (to buy more books). Let's put this on next
month's Board's agenda as new business to discuss. Great idea.
8. Adjournment: 12:16 Ed made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Susie and
Gay.
