LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Special Meeting --January 10, 1979
The meeting was called to order by President Munn at 3:00 P.M.
In attendance were Trustees Brownley, Falkenstein and Hammond.
Also Mrs. Cole, Library Director. Trustee Cipriano was .unable
to attend.
In response to a memo from Mr. Bussey that an adjourned Council
meeting will be held on February 13, 1979 with Mr. Holt to
discuss the master plan, the Board decided to ask Mayor Packard
if the meeting might be held in the conference room at the
Library.
The Board discussed the new master plan by considering Mr. Holt*
statements of principle and recommendations, beginning on page
3. The Board agreed on the following very general principles
to guide its discussion on the plan with Council:
1) A new Central Library should be first priority.
2) That steps by taken to acquire the land necessary for
the central facility.
2a) The proposed central facility need not be located
"near the geo-center of the city", as Mr. Holt
recommended on page 5 (Al).
3) There should be no sale or conversion of the present
Library until the central Library is taken care of.
4) Branch Libraries be provided when and where the logic
of the situation dictates.
In addition, the Board agreed that Mr. Holt's recommendations
#19, 20, 21 and 22 (page 4) be left to the discretion of Library
staff for implementation. On recommendation #23 (page 5) the
Board assigned first priority to needs of the business com-
munity, .followed by those of minorities.
In order for the Board to become more "visible" in encouraging
comments from citizens, Mr. Falkenstein suggested that Trustees
prepare vitae which might be xeroxed for pick-up at the Library
main desk.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:30 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
Tom Hammond
Secretary
