Future Goals: Meg has met with City staff to garner information about building a new Library facility, not a district.
Lynn and Ed recapped some of the history of Board concepts on the desire to expand, enrich and excel in giving the
community outstanding service and programs. The need expand and build a new facility was supported by Lindley
Kirkpatrick, as the City campus plan was developed. Many informational meetings were held, with the Board as well
as City staff. Guest speakers included members of the State Library, Librarians that had built buildings recently,
architects, and fund raisers. The Board visited several libraries and each member spent extensive time studying and
planning the needs to be met and how to plan for building a new facility.
The building continues to deteriorate while the community overruns the programs with record numbers.
Annual Evaluations: We all appreciated Meg's detailed, yet concise self -evaluation report. Ed motions, with Sean
second, to add our written statement of approval.
Adjournment: 4:40 pm
