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, Al, 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.

seconded by Gay and Robyn.
4. Staff Report: Sue Rost turned in her resignation papers, this is her last
week.
Decided to advertise for a Clerk I position, then after a 90 day trial, the
position would become the Children's Librarian (in FY2004). Robert Strope
suggested this, Ed motioned to accept and was approved by all.
Gov. Kempthorne's wife will be here for story hour on Friday July 25th to read

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
drivers 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.

Districting report. Sixteen people attended a districting meeting two weeks ago
from Cascade, Donnelly, and McCall (Anne, Robyn and Christie attended). The
district boundary was discussed—why npt county-wide. "The bigger the better"
was the State mottos pushed. Cascade Mayor was very much in favor and vocal
about his support. Susie and Ed were more pessimistic about a county wide
versus a school district boundary being voted in favor. Their will be another

phase.

First budget meeting for 2004 will be tomorrow(5/28/03) at the McCall Golf
Course. The board reviewed Anne's and the city's first budget draft. There
Were concerns over the proposed salary budget and associated benefits not
being high enough to cover raises for the employees. Anne had asked the city
about those figures, but did not understand it fully. Needs to be clarified.
Robyn made a motion to support this first draft contingent upon the salary
question raised and Ed Hershberger seconded the motion.

II. Attendance: Robyn Armstrong, Ed Hershberger, Anne Kantola
III. Minutes: January minutes were read and approved. No formal meeting was held
in February due to the weekly Strategic Planning meetings.
IV. Staff Report: Sue and Pat are at a children's conference this week. Pat's last day
will be April 5. Sue Rost has agreed to work 18 hours per week. Schedules need
to be worked out for this transition of the Children's librarian position. Mary Jane
has increased her hours to 32 hours per week,which is in line with her benefits
plan. This increase should help cover the duties vacated by Pat.
V. Budget and stats: The Winnebago Spectrum program went down this month,but
Anne was able to recall most of the inventory during that time. These gitches
happen in new systems, but the staff says all is well now and likes the program.
VI. Old Business:
a. New Trustees: Two candidates applied for the two board members
position vacancies due to the resignations of Ed Hershgold and Connie
Grant. The two potential candidates (Christie Gorsline and Gay Foster)
submitted letters of interest,which were reviewed. They were
recommended for board positions if no other applications were received
by March 19. Anne will put the new board members recommendations on
the March 28 City Council agenda for confirmation.
b. Review volunteers: The volunteer effort for automating the library's
inventory is moving along wonderfully. There are 4-6 volunteers in the
library every day, and much is being accomplished.
c. Libri Foundation: The children's books list was reviewed for duplication
in the library so has not been ordered yet.
d. Friend's purchase: The Friends of the McCall Public Library have
purchased over$1000 of new children's books from the proceeds of the
Festival of Trees. We need to thank the Friends and will sign a card that
Anne will get next month.
VII. New Business:
a. Web site: The library's web site needs updating. Robyn suggested that
this be added to Sue's duties, as she excels in this.
b. 3 priorities: There will be a City luncheon on March 20 at Si' Bueno's for
the heads of advisory committees and department heads to share
information. Susie Reddick and Anne Kantola will attend for the library.

IV. Staff Report: Everyone was or is sick, but things are getting back to normal. The
Sue/Pat team as Children's librarian is not working due to the 19.5 hour constraint. Pat is
leaving—last day is March 31. We should have a party for her. Will Sue step up her
hours?
V. Budget and stats: Great donations of adult nonfiction books plus$316 from expired
library cards out of city limits.
VI. Old Business: Book for Friends—the Board signed to give to Friends.
VII. Book policy: Ed Hershberger thought the small library policy on material selection was
more straightforward but needed slight adjustment for our use. The°Bill of Right° and
Freedom to Read° policies are in the binders in an appendix XII and XIII.
VIII. New Business: Law books were handed out. Anne needs to graph our automation
progress.
IX. Article: The McCall Library Strategic Planners had their photo in the State Trustee's
Newsletter. Also,Anne and Susie will be interviewed by Ben Salmon of the Star News
about the library's material selection policy. Need to make the article contingent upon our
review.
