McCall Public Library Board of Trustees Meeting
20 September 2006
I. Call to Order: 4:15 pm.
II. Attendance: Anne Kantola, Ed Hershberger, Diane DeChambeau, Lynn
Lewinski, Robyn Armstrong, Susie Reddick, Lindley Kirkpatrick
A. Lindley joined us early to discuss City -related matters. During the
July Council meeting, new library fees were approved but the Council
would like to discuss again the issue of residency as it relates to
library cards. After some discussion, Ed moved that we advise the
Council that the Library Board would support a broadening of the
definition of a person who qualifies for a library card from "resident"
to "resident and/or property tax payer with the City limits", in
addition to City employees'as already approved. Lynn seconded the
motion which passed unanimously.
Regarding our $15,000 shortfall, Lindley has just about made up the
budget discrepancy; it looks like we're down to $1,000. We may end
the year in the red, which could reduce our fund balance by $1,000 at
the start of FY 2007.
III. Minutes: Ed moved to approve the August minutes. Susie seconded
the motion which passed unanimously.
IV. Staff Report: Barbara resigned as of September 2nd. Sue Rost has
been filling in; Anne just ran the vacancy announcement today. The position
may be filled by a recreation department employee. In addition, Arlis will be
a full-time employee beginning October 1st and the Adult Services position
will be advertised beginning September 28th.
V. Friends Report: Diane is working as a landscape architect at the
Pumphouse. Meg attended a recent meeting to thank the Friends for their
purchase of our soon -to -be -installed book drop and for replacing keys to the
Library that were stolen from the Pumphouse. Work is starting on the
Festival of Trees, including efforts by middle school students who will assist
with advertising. The Festival of Trees will be held again at the golf course;
Christie and Sigrid will chair the event.
VI. Budget and Stats: Anne will find the ledger for Ed; other information
was passed to him today. Last month, Anne collected $1900 in fees.
VII. Old Business: We tabled the first three items. Susie will bring a copy
of the high school Internet use form for consideration next time.
A. SWIRLS in Midvale: Anne reports that some Boards are more hands-
on with finances to the point of signing checks. After discussion, we
acknowledged that we're content with the status quo and don't feel the
need to get more involved. Anne encouraged us, however, to remember that
we are in charge of library policy; the City Council cannot make changes in
that area.
B. LOT Money: Our $800 was spent on surge protectors. We should
come up with suggestions for next year.
C. Gates Computers: Anne hasn't ordered them yet, but will do so after
October 1st.
D. Library Cards: The cards will change colors this fall. Our application
will be reworked to include a place for parents to indicate awareness and
approval of Internet use and video checkouts by minors. The application will
also request email addresses.
E. Auction: This Saturday!
F. Residency: We covered this while Lindley was here.
VIII. New Business:
A. Bookdrop: Including delivery, the charges are just over $1000.
Again, many thanks to the Friends for taking care of this!
B. Insurance: Anne informed us that our insurance coverage is
inadequate and ask that we prepare a report for the City. With Ed's help we
calculated a need for $1,000,000 to cover real property and $1,100,000 to
cover personal property. These numbers will be turned in to the City.
C. Board Duties: We've covered most of this already, but added a goal
to include Comp Plan Updates at future meetings. Board members are taking
turns attending these meetings; Susie will go to the next one on October 3rd
and report at our next meeting.
D. New Item: Robyn checked with Erin McCusker regarding our ability
to sign petitions such as Council member recalls without compromising our
positions as Board Members. Erin, who works with the State Library, says
that we may do so. See attached email.
IX. Adjournment: 5:50 pm.

I. Call to order 4:12pm
II. Attendance: Anne Kantola, Robyn Armstrong, Ed Hershberger, Jill Meyer
III. Minutes from May 24, 2007 meeting were approved.
IV. Staff Report: All is well. Middle School Spanish class and chess club are going
well. Tall table, two stools, and a back board for the young adult sitting area
were ordered and will occupy former spot of the copy machine. Lida will be on
maternity leave in September but will be continuing with the Spanish classes in
October.
V. City Comprehensive Plan Update: Robyn will attend the next meeting on
Tuesday August 21 when the First Draft of the Plan will be presented. More
mention of the library is needed. Anne has suggested changing the section
entitled "Schools" to read "Schools and Educational Opportunities." There will
likely be another meeting in September.
VI. Budget: All is well. Budget is currently at 83% and we've spent only 79%. The
2007 City Budget poses no problem for the library; our portion will be almost
the same as last year. Though nothing extra will be added, nothing was cut. We
are pleased withdthat. Anne has finished purchasing the medical encyclopedias
from $2,000 provided to us by the Hospital Auxiliary funds.
VII. Old Business: There was no old business.
VIII. New Business: a.) Fee Increase: Both the copy machine and printer fees will be
raised to 25 cents. This will make payment more efficient and eliminate the
need to make penny change. This change will be posted. b.) Board Business:
Robyn will be resigning as Chairperson, effective in October due to her travel
plans. We need to advertise to fill her vacancy.

Let's Talk About It: This was such a successful book club this year
that Robyn is signing forms to bring the program to town next year.
VIII. New Business:
LOT Funding Meeting: We may get about $12,000 from the Local
Option Tax fund next March, but Anne is already thinking about how

Library for assistance.

Last week, Anne was delighted to receive missing materials and $107 in restitution
from a patron; the issue dates back almost two years.

but plans to attend the next one. Anne and Robyn attended another recent

good; halfway through the fiscal year, the library has spent almost exactly
half its budget. Stats will arrive later.
VII. Old Business:
Doors: The doors are done and they're great - lighter now than
before. Thanks to the City Council for their help with this much
needed improvement. Anne and Robyn will be sure to mention the
doors as improvements in their upcoming presentation.

nonprofit organizations.
Idaho Laws: Anne passed out addendums.
Budget (Lunch Meeting): On May 17th, Anne and Robyn will attend the

current staffing, utilities, and book levels at status quo or reasonable
levels considering cost of living changes and 2) shelving improvements.
Regional Conference: Anne plans to attend the annual Southwest
Library Conference on May 19th and will try to include some of her
staff.
New Item: Our potential donor of new carpet visited with Anne and is
suggesting instead a sturdier floor material with throw rugs. Anne is
fine with that. He also might help organize donations for other
improvements.
Dia de los Ninos: Meg stepped in to let us know about this year's
program on April 27, which intends to promote literacy and community
spirit. There will be no parade this year; however, kids will congregate
between 3:30 and 3:45 pm at the library, head out in groups for
nearby projects such as town clean-up and flower planting, and finish
with a fiesta back at the library. Every child will receive a new book.

Board Duties: Robyn read through the highlights from the State
manual, including our four main responsibilities: governance (policy),
financial, personnel, and service/community relations. She discussed
fundraising, helping us to realize yet again how fortunate we are to
have the Friends of the Library who take care of almost every
fundraising effort. They also do a tremendous job with acquiring
grants and donations. Anne distributed copies of the 2006 Idaho
Library Laws.

Policy Manual Updates: Anne says that the state's annual report will
be ready by the end of January as requested.
Annual Evaluation: All evaluations, including Anne's, are done!
Brochure: The new brochure advertising library services and longer
Saturday hours looks great!
SWIRLS Conference: Anne attended sessions on reinventing library
environments and library merchandising. The theory is to arrange
library bookshelves to resemble bookstore display shelving, which is
leading to increased circulation at participating libraries. Anne
brought pamphlets with examples and a catalogue for pricing. We're
thinking about experimenting with displays in a soon -to -be -created
youth center. Next month, Anne will propose an experiment with a
few end slats and perhaps a kiosk.
X. Adjournment: 5:10 pm.
Our next meeting will be Wednesday, February 21st at 4 pm.
