PLACE OF MEETING: LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES City Council Conference Room CALL TO ORDER: President LHeureux called the meeting to order at 3:OO P.M. ROLL CALL: Present: LHeureux, Moss, McCann, and Woodward Absent : Curtin Also Present: Cliff Lange, Library Director Geoff Armour, Assistant Library Director Milt Cooper Mig Chaney APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Approval of Minutes of Meetings of March 19 and April 16, 1997 will be carried over to the meeting of June 18, 1997. MONTHLY LIBRARY DIVISION HEADS REPORTS: Referring to the massive weeding project going on in the Children's collection at the Main Library, a question was asked about what happens to all the books being withdrawn. Director Lange noted that, depending on condition, all withdrawn materials go to the Friends for their book sales. LIBRARY BOARD COMMENTS: Referring to the minutes of April 16, a question was asked about attendance at the workshop scheduled for May 30 and 31 to develop strategies for the next library sales tax initiative, which is likely to go on the June, 1998 ballot. Director Lange indicated that he would be attending. May 14, 1997 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Page 2 - NEW LIBRARY UPDATE: Director Lange displayed samples of the wood and finishes that will be used in the new library. A maple wood will be used on stack end panels and on all casework and a natural oak will be used for tables and chairs. The carpet style has also been selected. The interior designers still need to select fabrics for the easy chairs. Cost estimates for the new library are included in the 1997-98 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The new estimate is about $6 million more than the estimates from 1990 and 1991. Most of the increased costs are related to inflation for basic construction, up about 22% over the past seven years, as well as the requirement to meet new ADA and building code changes. Included in the increase is about $1 mfion more for construction administration and another $1-2 million for new technology. * Director Lange said he will be briefing city council members on Monday on all these issues. He noted that the estimates done in 1990 were never really finalized, since the project was put on hold back then, and were not based on the detailed analyses that went into the updated estimates. It is important to note that there are no special enhancements to the building itself. The basic size and shape of the building remain the same. Trustee McCann noted that, when business picks up, building contractors tend to add their typical 10% profit margins back into the project. Director Lange stated that there was no organized opposition to the new library and that everyone, including the council, have this project as a top priority for the city. The issue is one of funding. Finance is looking at loans from the Public Facility Fee to the Community Facilities District as a way of helping to fund the library. It may not be necessary to sell bonds since the city is in a cash-rich position right now. Director Lange noted that the CIP presentation to the city council will be held Tuesday night and that he will be doing a special presentation on the new library project. He said he had also done a study of per-square-foot costs for construction comparing Carlsbad's planned project with other new library projects of over 20,000 square feet in Southern California in recent years. The results showed that Carlsbad's project is not at all out of line with such costs. Trustee McCann stated that he would like to see a copy of the detailed costs estimates for the CIP. May 14, 1997 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Page 3 DONATION FROM NEWPORT NATIONAL CORPORATION: Trustee McCann discussed the gift of $5,000 to the library from his company, Newport National Corporation, in partnership with Tri-Teal Corporation and Marco Plaza Enterprises. Director Lange said an agenda bill accepting the donation would be going to the city council on June 3 and hoped that Trustee McCann could be there to help with the presentation. WORKSHOP ON CITIZEN ACTION CAMPAIGNS: Director Lange provided background information on the May 30-31 library sales tax initiative workshop, which will be led by Dr. Murray Fishel of Kent State University. Director Lange noted that, in addition to outlining electoral strategies, Dr. Fishel will also analyze precinct data from the groups from around the county are making donations to help pay for Dr. Fishel’s fee. Director Lange said he expects to get the local Friends of the Library involved in the next campaign and thought they would likely serve a major fund raising role. He felt that people would start getting more excited about this campaign as the new library projects gets under way. He also said that Taffy Cannon had been nominated as President of the Friends for the coming year. previous ballot initiative as part of the workshop. Friends of the Library L CALIFORNIA LIBRARY ASSOCIATION LEGISLATIVE DAY. Director Lange participated, along with nearly 400 other librarians, in the annual Legislative Day visit to Sacramento and met with an aid to Senator Craven and with Assemblymen Bill Morrow and Howard Kaloogian. Mr. Kaloogian seemed to be enthusiastic and positive about advancing the interests of libraries. The legislative agenda being pushed by the library community includes full funding of the Public Library Fund and augmentation of Transaction-Based Reimbursements. Also on the agenda is SB409, which would connect all of California’s 8,000 libraries in a “virtual library” network, and SB154, which would give any California county the authority to use a 1/8- or %-cent sales tax increase for public library construction or operations. Revenues would supplement and not supplant existing expenditures. ? May 14,1997 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Page 4 INFOPEOPLE GRANT: Director Lange announced that the library was successful in its application for an InfoPeople grant and will receive $5,000 for computer stations and Internet access in the Children’s area. An Agenda Bill accepting the grant will go to the city council in June. This project will also involve a partnership with the local Interact Club at Carlsbad High School as well as the parent Rotary Club. Both clubs are working now to help raise additional funds needed for this project. LSCA, TITLE 11: Director Lange announced that the State Library has about $1.3 million left over from earlier LSCA funding and is looking for added projects that would come in with at least a 50/50 match. The library would like to submit an application to help with the Cole remodel. Director Lange noted that Carlsbad meets most of the important qualifying criteria for the grant, including general remodeling, seismic and safety upgrades, ADA modifications, and applications of new technology. A notice of intent to apply will be sent by August 1, 1997. The expectation is to receive at least a couple of hundred thousand dollars to help with the remodel project. - DIRECTOR’S REPORT: Director Lange reported on changes in the Fair Political Practices Commission regulations discussed at the annual training for Boards and Commissions. Director Lange discussed the proposed Art Hop project being proposed by Elizabeth Bock as a library fund-raiser. The project, which would involve local merchants and local artists, would take place at the Plaza Paseo Real Shopping Center and at West Bluff Plaza across El Camino Real. The date is currently planned for Friday, July 18 from 5-10 p.m. Merchants would open their stores and artists would display and perform their arts. There would be a variety of food and music available for the public. Ten percent (10%) of any art sold would go to the Friends of the Library. The key to the project is getting artists to participate. The NBC TV program “Let’s Read Together” wdl be launched next September. The program is a promotional to push the reading habit for children. May 14,1997 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Page 5 The annual celebration for library part-time employees will take place at the Senior Center on May 16 at 5:30 p.m. Interviews for a new Departmental Secretary are being held this week. The top seven candidates are being screened by both Finance and the Library. Both departments hope to fill these positions within the next few weeks. The issue of coffee service in the atrium continues to be of interest to the public. City Facilities Superintendent Chuck Walden has provided information on vending machines that have Starbucks coffee, soft drinks, and snacks. One or all of these machines could be installed in the atrium on a self-serve basis, and the library would get a small percentage of the gross. Trustee Moss indicated some concern about the potential for problems with an unsupervised area and wondered who would control people who took food or coffee from the atrium into the library. L The Southwest Quadrant meeting will be held on May 27 and will include a presentation by Director Lange on new library and Cole remodel plans. FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY No report. GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY Milt Cooper reported that the most recent genealogy yard sale made over $1,300. SERRA ADVISORY BOARD: Trustee Woodward reported that the Board will be getting out more of the Serra Library location maps and has approved four grant projects. Serra is also proposing to replace all the system fax machines. The Children’s Committee held a storytelling workshop. The Summer Reading Program once again will be funded by Wells Fargo with a $105,000 donation going to support most of the libraries in Southern California. May 14, 1997 LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES Page 6 ACTIONITEM: It was moved by Trustee Moss, seconded by Trustee Woodward, and unanimously approved to have Director Lange send a letter of thanks to Newport National Corporation, Tri-Teal Corporation, and Marco Plaza Enterprises for their generous donation of $5,000, which will be deposited in the library’s Gifts and Bequests Fund.

CHILDREN’S SERVICES MONTHLY STATEMENT MARCH 1997 With a circulation for the month of over 20,000 and answering over 2,300 reference questions, March was a hopping place in the Children’s Library. Children’s staff presented 40 programs with an attendance of over 3,100. These programs included storyhours, Prime Time Club, Storycraft, the Mark Kistler 3-D Drawing program and our 4‘h Annual Multicultural Arts Festival. Storyhours on Tuesday morning have been steadily increasing in size. The new format has been very popular and word of mouth has brought in more participants. Prime Time Club has been very well attended this year. The children are enjoying it and parents report that it has really stimulated the children’s reading at home. The combination of the exciting stories that Doris reads, plus the incentives for hours of reading has kept the children involved. Nearly every one of the Ist through 3rd graders who attend has won a 50 hour prize this year. Mark Kistler, artist and Carlsbad resident, contributed his talents by conducting a drawing class for 40 children in the Library. It was a smash hit with parents and children. Mark also donated his book and 2 new videos to the library. The 4‘h Annual Multicultural Arts Festival was presented by the Children’s Services Division and the Carlsbad Arts Office and sponsored by the Friends of the Carlsbad Library. Performances of multicultural dance, song , storytelling and plays were presented at the Carlsbad Cultural Arts Center, Harding Community Center, Centro de lnformacion and the La Costa branch library. The unique feature of this multicultural event is that there are children involved in almost every presentation. New this year was the participation of two Carlsbad groups. The audience included everyone from preschoolers through senior citizen. Families and small groups are allowed to attend without reservations, but classes and larger groups are required to make arrangements in advance. Teachers are learning that they have to call early in order to get their classes in for this popular event(see attached items).

On March 26, Cathy Miller gave an INMAGIC demo to the Reference Staff to show how to retrieve local history articles from newspapers using the Windows 95 format on the computer. Technical Services Report March 1997 In March, Technical Services staff added 1,598 new print items and 409 audiovisual items to the library’s collection. They deleted 614 print items and 183 audiovisual items from the database. Patrons used home computers to dial into the library catalog 323 times. The Library Automation Committee met on March 27 to discuss a number of issues, including plans for computers and networks in the new library and an Internet home page for the library, separate from the city’s home page, that would be more easily accessible to library users. Four people are on a subcommittee to develop guidelines for the library’s page. Among our concerns is that the original design of the city’s page was highly graphical, requiring high speed Internet connections and the latest version of software to be seen satisfactorily. Potential users of the library’s page include all library users (and even non-users) who have Internet access; this group has a wide variety of computer equipment and Internet connections. Some may face physical challenges. Making information available to all has become a major issue for web page designers who are concerned with usability. As Secretary of Education Richard Riley said recently, “Many Web pages cannot be accessed by people who are blind or have limited vision. Many home pages incorporate graphically-based technology that limits the accessibility of individuals with disabilities.” (Press release on the establishment of the World Wide Web Accessibility Project, April 3, 1997.) There are software packages which can “read” text-based web pages for the visually impaired, and we want to make sure that information about the library and its services is accessible to as many Internet users as possible.

This program provides 50% service discounts to qualifying schools and libraries; the total annual allocation is $40 million. Since the fund size is limited and applications are being accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, I encourage you to complete and forward the application to your telecommunications provider as quickly as possible. Libraries must attach an original-signature certificate from the California State Librarian. A fuller program description including the application form are enclosed. Libraries eligible for the discount are those that share resources with other California libraries. All our public libraries do, indeed, share their resources with other California libraries and, accordingly, I am forwarding a certification form to you now in order to speed up the process. The original must accompany your application, and a single certificate covers all library outlets. Please share this information with others in your region who might benefit from this program. The key contract person on my staff is Networking Coordinator Barbara Will, although all technical details and arrangements should be addressed by your telecommunications provider.

In D.97-01-020, the Commission noted that: “0.96-10-066 left open the question of who will verify the documentation of the entities applying for discounts under the California Teleconnect Fund. At the outset of this program, there will be some labor intensive efforts needed to verify that the entities applying for the discounts are qualified to take advantage of the program. We believe that such an effort should be undertaken by the Commission’s TeIecornmunications Division initially. The staff is in a position to determine the type of reporting or documentation needed to qualify for the discounts. Since this is a startup program, the staff can analyze and recommend how the process for qualifying for discounts under the’california Teleconnect Fund can be improved. Eventually, these responsibilities should be taken over by the persons hired by the trust that is set up to administer the California Teleconnect Fund.” In accordance with ordering paragraph 11 of D.96-10-066, and in order to ensure that a process is in place to certify and verify that the entities applying for the California Teleconnect Fund discounts are eligible, the Telecommunications Division staff, in conjunction with the workshop participants, developed a self certification application form at the January 24, 1996, workshop on reporting requirements for carriers that provide discounts under the California Teleconnec t Fund. Under the procedures discussed at the workshop, the certification application form would be filled out by the customer, and the appropriate documentation attached. The form would be -1- R.95-0 1-320, 1.95-3 1-01 1 JSWgab certified to, arid signed by the customer. The carrier would then be responsible for screening the customer supplied information for compliance with the California Teleconnect Fund criteria, as contained in D.96- 10-066. The carrier could also require additional information in order to process the' customer's request for discounted services. This could include a list of existing services that the customer seeks to convert to discounted services. If the criteria are not met, no discounted services would be provided. If the customer qualifies for the Teleconnect Fund program, based on the information supplied by the customc the carrier would then fill out the carrier portion of the form listing the total monthly discounts the customer is eligible for, and enroll the customer in the discount program. The carrier would then forward the entire application form, along With the customer's attachments to the Telecommunications Division stdf, who would then review the application for completeness and compliance with the Teleconnect Fund criteria set forth in D.96-10-066, including the projected availability of monies to fimd the discounts. If the application is in order, the staff would then assign an identification number to each Teleconnect Fund customer, and inform the cher about the customer's identification number. The completed application form and attachments would be retained by the Commission in the event any eligibility issues arise. The workshop also suggested that all subsequent service change orders be handled directly by the carrier, and that no additional customer application forms would have to be forwarded to the Commission. The effect of any service change orders would be reported by the carriers in their monthly reports to the Commission. In order to timely implement the California Teleconnect Fund, certain internal processing procedures need to be established. The procedures outlined by the staff are workable solutions for getting customers signed up for the discounts, and allowing the carrier and the Commission to track the amount and kinds of discounts. However, because the amount of the available funds in the California TeIeconnect Fund are limited, I believe that certain safeguards should be put in place to ensure that the Teleconnect Fund program is being administered in a fair manner. The process detailed below shall serve as the interim procedure for processing the Teleconnect Fund applications. ' - ._ -2- ;.95-01-020,I.9j-O 1-02 1 JXWgab 1. All carriers shall use the attached instructions and application form entitled “California Teleconnect Fund, Service Discounts Certification Application (Interim)” (Appendix A.) to sign up qualifying entities for the California Teleconnect Fund program. 2.

Funding for the PLF currently stands at only $15,870,000. Full funding of the PLF would be in excess of $50 million. Two weeks ago the Assembly Budget Subcommittee Number 2 on Education Finance began holding overview hearings an the education portion of the Budget, while the Senate begins their round of hearings this week. These two subcommittees will likely determine whether or not there will be additional Public Library Foundation funding this year. All CIA members are being urged to write the members of the Assembly and Senate Budget Subcommittees on Education immediately, requesting full funding of the PLF. The only way in which the PLF will receive any consideration for additional Budget funding on the day the Libray Budget is presented is if the subcommittees literally receive hundreds of letters on the issue. Please take a moment TODAY to write the members, encouraging them to move the PLF to the priority list. The subcommittees will act on this issue in mid April. Letters should be addressed to each member of the Subcommittees: ASSEMBLY BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE NO. 2 ON EDUCATION FINANCE Assemblyman Jack Scott, Chair Assemblyman Dennis Cardoza Assemblywoman Susan Davis Assemblyman Bill Leonard Date: 3111197 Time: 4:51:00 PM Page 2 of 2 From: Patricia Suiian To: Cliff lange ~'~"''"''""'"'"'"'"'''~'~~~~~ ,...............

Please encourage your friends, groups, trustees, interested citizens, etc. to also write letters to members of the subcommittees. II. A LITTLE HISTORY ON THE PLF After an inltial veto by Governor Jeny Brown in 1980, CIA was successful in 1982 in securing passage of SB 958, by Senator Nielsen, which established the Public Library Foundation Program (PLF). In his first year in office, Governor Deukmejian chose n~& to put funding in his Budget for the PLF. At the time, full funding of the PLF required approximately $24 million. Through a concerted effort, CiA was able to get the Budget Subcommittees to include $12 million in the 1983 Budget. Deukmejian used his "blue pencil" to reduce this amount to $6 million. In subsequent years, we were successful in getting the funding increased to $20.6 million, which was still short of the full funding requirement (at that time, approximately $38 million). In his final year in office, with the state beginning to face Budget difficulties, Governor Deukmejian reduced the PLF to $16 million. The following year, Governor Wilson reduced it to $10 million. During the next year it was reduced even further to $8.87 million, which was only 17% of the $50.8 million required for full funding. Last year, through an exhaustive lobbying and grass roots effort, and the support of the Budget subcommittees, we were able to increase the PLF to $20,870,000. In a subsequent action, Governor Wilson reduced this augmentation to $1 5,87O,OOO, which is where the PLF currently stands today. The Governor has recommended in his 1997 Budget proposals that the PLF continue to be funded at last year's Level of $15,870,000.
