LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Minutes - Special Meeting - March 16, 1976
The special meeting of the Library Board of Trustees was called to order at
10 A.M. by President Caroline Schindler. Board members present were: Wm.
Lipkeman, W. A. Driver, Grace Mamaux, Jayce McClellan. Also present were:
Librarian Georgina Cole, Library Administrative Assistant Bobbie Hoder, and
Librarian's Dan Arnsan, Ray Brookhart and Geoff Armour. City Manager Paul
Bussey and Administrative Assistant Frank Mannan were also in attendance.
1. After discussion of the OCLC system, Mr. Lipkeman recommended that the
City Council be supplied with the necessary information as soon as pos-
sible. Mr. Bussey offered to assist Mrs. Cole in the compilation and
presentation of this information to be forwarded to the Council, possibly
at the April 6th meeting.
2. Salaries were discussed and Mr. Bussey suggested that justification for
increases should not be abstract. Mr. Lipkeman recommended that a study
. of Library salaries and comparable school district salaries (with an
outline of services rendered), be presented to the City Council.
3. Xerox revenues were discussed, In lieu o/ transferring existing funds
into the library account, Mr. Bussey stated that he would authorize over-
spending in the supplies account -in an amount up to current revenues of
$3,800.00.
4. The Board requested that the items listed in the budget as one-time •
expenses be taken from reserve funds. This is a policy matter, Mr.
Bussey said, and would have to be recommended .to Council....
5. The bond redemption and tax rate were discussed.
6.- The costs of insurance and building maintenance were discussed at
length. Both items at present are paid through the Library budget. The
Board feels that they should be taken care of by the City, as other City
buildings are. Mr. Bussey suggested that an alternative to the current
method of handling these expenses would be to request additional funds
through the City Council.
7. Board jurisdiction was also a matter for discussion. Mr. Bussey asked
. that when there is a conflict, he be informed. He further agreed that
a policy could be formulated to outline where the Boards jurisdiction . ""
ends and the Councils begins, if the Board felt that was needed.
Meeting adjourned at 11:45 A.M.
Next regular Board meeting - April 12th at 3 P.M.
