Board of Trustees
Meeting
November 1, 2007
Present: Chair Joan Pemble, Chuck Randolph, Lou Roehr, Leona Manke, and librarian
Elaine Leppert.
The meeting was called to order at 7:02 p.m.
I. Minutes from October 11, 2007 were approved (Manke, Randolph)
II. Bills for October were presented. We approved paying the bills of $64,227.78 by
consensus.
III. Business
a. Update on the Horizon system
Changes -- Currently we pay a percentage of the use; our costs are
coming down; primarily due to inclusion of other libraries and
spreading the percentage of the costs.
b. Long term facility discussion
We need to look at this facility: Can we add to our footprint? What are
the possibilities? We will request an assessment of the current facilities—
probably asking Everett Street architects to do a walk-through on whether
is worth looking at? The possibility of a satellite was suggested, as was
the possible inclusion in the new city hall. Also it was suggested we
consider the possibility of relocating in an abandoned school or other
possible buildings. We authorize Elaine to begin this investigation. We
will request the services free, but have authorized $500 to start if
necessary.
IV. Other business and announcements
Signed a permission letter for the library auditors.
Meeting was adjourned at 7:50 p.m.
Next meeting will be December 6, 2007 at 7:OOp.m.
