Attendance: Robyn Armstrong, Gay Foster, Susie Reddick, Christie Gorsline and Anne Kantola III. Minutes: There were some changes to the September minutes regarding the potential grants for districting. These were approved by all. IV. Staff Report: Anne did not attend the ILA conference. The new Children's librarian, Meg, is doing well. Spanish story hour this week. Becky will be gone next week. V. Budget and stats: Three pages of handouts. The 2004 is done and approved by all. VI. Old Business: Districting report. There was a districting meeting in Cascade on 10/9 with a good turnout. The team went over status. Someone attended from Round Valley. Anne, Alyce and Erin visited Yellow Pine on 10/11 for an introductory districting meeting and discussed bookmobile. Good article in Long Valley Advocate. They talked about a .06% of assessed tax value tax limit. Warren and Burgdorf are untaxable so no available for library services. Policy Manual has more text than is needed. Anne will distribute the first draft electronically in November for us to review. That will be in lieu of board meeting in November. Database has 15,000 books automated. Literature weeding is going on now. Fundraising. Christie briefed Susie and the rest of us on the celebrity address book idea. We decided to pass the book around soon and mark names that we would be interested in contacting. Look for Idaho notables. We need to earmark the money earned for new books, building fund, or a slush fund. VI. New Business: Furnace: There was $5000 in budget for a new furnace but it was whittled down to $2000. Anne put out a bid on replacing the furnace earlier. Boise company, A1, has a new local representative who had previously answered Anne's bid (though she never saw it), who decided to donate a new Lenox propane furnace to the library as good public relations for McCall. There will be some reasonable costs to the library. The agenda bill and press release needs to get approved by the City Council on the Oct. 23 meeting Computers: David Simmonds can get 4-6 older computers for the library to have more Internet access and automated database use. Storage space has also been donated for storage of nonworking, older computers by DeLorna Allen and her husband. VIII. Adjournment: 17:13 Next Meeting: December 11, 2003..
