Business
Community Room Policy Revision:
A charge of $15 per hour or part thereof for meetings scheduled after regular
. library hours will go into effect at the beginning October. This fee will be included in the budget
hearings for fee increases. (MSC Roehr/Day)
The Exhibits and Display Policy and the Lost and Damaged Materials Policy were tabled for
discussion at the next meeting.
The board did not change the number of books that can be borrowed at one time.
Elaine reported that the DYNX! system shows outstanding fines and overdue materials figures to
be nearly $50,000. She also explained that there are many factors that make this figure
inaccurate. The way the patron record is charged when the bill is sent to collections can create
double charges on a card, non-resident fees can appear as bills on a card and the figure includes
fines for which the statute of limitations has been reached. She is working on clearing out old
uncollectible charges and eliminating the double charges.
The next meeting is scheduled for TUESDAY July 1, 2003, 7 p.m. Elaine will e-mail members a
reminder.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
� Elaine C Leppert
Secretary
