CALDWELL PUBLIC LIBRARY
June 1, 1989
The meeting was called to order by Scott Bolton, Vice Chairman, at 7 p.m.
with the following members present: Scott Bolton, Charles Gray, Josie
Miller and Alta E. Williams. Elaine Leppert, Library Director, was
present and also Pat Mallea, Council Liaison member.
The minutes were approved as written. (MSC Gray/Williams)
Bills totaling $33,043.09 were approved. (MSC Miller/Gray)
Elaine reported the piano had been revoiced and met with the satisfaction
of the majority of the Musicale group. Discussion was held on the piano
dollies but no action was taken; it was the feeling of the majority of
the members and Elaine that the dollies, which would cost $140/set, would
not lower the piano as they had hoped.
There are problems and more problems with the computer or terminal; and
while Elaine has been most patient with this long ordeal, she is
beginning to lose her cool. Hopefully the problems will all be taken
care of before this actually takes place.
There was some discussion on the upcoming budget for the year 1989-90 and
some suggestions and help was given to Elaine on this. This will be
discussed in detail at the time the budget is presented for adoption.
A motion was made that we have a line item contingency fund in the
forthcoming budget of $50,000. (MS Gray/Miller) After discussion of
this motion an amendment was made to make this contingency fund $100,000.
The motion was made to approve the amendment. (MSC.Gray/Miller) After
the amendment was passed a motion was made to pass the motion of the
intention of having $100,000 contingency in the forthcoming budget. (MSC
Gary/Miller). This contingency is needed in the event of a new roof,
broken windows, or problems with the heating system.
A motion was made to adopt the City policy relating to vacations for the
library staff to become effective with the new fiscal year, October 1„
1989. (MSC Miller/Gray)
Elaine advised she needed to hire some extra help for some pruning and
weeding in the lawn area; she thought this could be acComplished for
about $200. A motion was made to authorize Elaine to hire someone to do
this. (MSC Miller/Gray)
The meeting adjourned at 8:20 p.m.
Alta E. Williams. Secretary
Next Board meeting, July 6, 1989, at 7 p.m.
