Minutes
June 1, 2004
Public Library Conference Room
L Call to Order 4:03 pm.
IL Attendance: Robyn Armstrong, Gay Foster, Christie Gorsline, Ed Hershberger,
TEL Minutes: Approved with corrections.
IV. Staff Report: Robyn reported helping with Children's story hour as Meg was
kicking off the Children's summer reading program in Donnelly. After discussion the
Board's feeling is that it is not appropriate to have our staff use their time to cover the
summer reading program in Donnelly. It was moved and seconded that we would speak
with the Library Director -the diversion of resources outside the City should be
minimized or have Board approval.
V. Budget and stats: No report
VI. Old Business:
Confirmation of Robyn Armstrong's Board Position: It was moved and seconded
to retroactively elect Robyn Armstrong to fill the Board position Oct. 2003- 2008.
Report on Building Expansion: Robert Strope reaffirmed to Ed and Robyn, in their
meeting, that the previous city counsel affirmed the fire station property is the logical place
for library expansion. It will be a few years before the library can fund this expansion. The
City hopes to put in partitions and an elevator. This intention will be brought to the new
council member's attention. The City owns the ground and 1/3 of the building. Mr. Strope
said no negotiations have yet been held toward the City obtaining the whole building.
Districting: Donnelly is preparing a volunteer run library to be supported by an
upscale second hand store to be open as soon as possible. They are still interested in
Districting. We are interested in successful districting and it is necessary to have
leadership. A fact finding meeting, possibly July 7th, was discussed to gauge interest in
some community members.
LiLI Express: Forms have been mailed.
Friends of the Library/Fund Raising: The Friends of the Library are not interested in
handling the fund raising proposed by Mountain House. They will sell the remaining
note cards. The board moved and seconded to advise the City Council that we support
the proposition for giving Mountain House/Seth Jacobsen access to old Idaho photos with
a 10% commission with one photo to be displayed in the Library.
VI. New Business:
Foundation Funding: We will look into this farther in the future.
Definition of Resident: The staff has encountered a problem with summer
workers/visitors wanting to obtain library cards. Many are stationed at lookouts and
working in the forests and using the local Forest service office as their address. Also
summer visitors living in RV parks. It was reaffirmed that a resident's address must be
where you live. One may prove their resident address with a lease, utility bill, driver's
license or an employer or manager's affidavit. They must be able to demonstrate that
they are living or will live in the City of McCall on a long-term basis, which is defined as
30 consecutive days or more.
