C. BOARD AND FOUNDATION BUSINESS
1 . Director Clark reported that this was the second month for the Foundation to try to
adopt the Budget for 2008/09 since there was no quorum at the last meeting. And that
this has turned out to be a positive thing in order to add two changes: one was to add a
section under Children's Special Programs asking for an additional $15,000 donation
for special cultural arts events like the Black History Month program. Michelle Perera
explained that these would be eight programs — five of these would be evening after
hour's events and three will coincide with the Theatre's Young Audience shows for this
season. These involve an entertainer, activities and crafts which would encompass the
entire building. An upcoming event poster for"Around the World on 8.8.08"was shown
as an example of this type of program. A short discussion ensued.
The other item which was not on the proposed budget but was voted on and approved
several months ago was a $50,000 donation to support the Archibald Library Remodel.
This will allow the Library Foundation's name to be placed on the donor wall and to
have naming rights to a key space or display at the remodeled library. Upon completion
of this discussion, President Bowne made the motion to adopt the budget including the
two proposals, Ruth Leal seconded. 14 yeas 0 opposed 1 absent. It was passed
unanimously with those present.
D. LIBRARY DIRECTOR'S STAFF REPORTS
1. Prior to the Tour of the Summer Library, Director Clark interjected a special thank you
to Boardmember Nagel for made the Summer Library at Central School possible. She
also extended her appreciation to Manager Perera and her many staff that worked on
the project. Michelle Perera conducted a sitting tour pointing out the collection and
explaining how a family place library functions and succeeds. Director Clark reiterated
the success of the Summer Library from a service and political standpoint. She also
said she had hoped to do a check presentation to Central School for $3000 to use for
their library but that this had to wait pending the budget approval. Boardmember Nagel
expressed her gratitude and pointed out that the fifth graders who serve on a Library
Board for the Central School District would be very excited to add more Manga and
magazines to their collections.
2. Library Services Manager Perera handed out the Biane July calendar to explain the
many joint library programs taking place for the month. She also had a PowerPoint
presentation to show how busy the library has become in usage, circulation and
Summer Reading Program sign-ups.
E. JOINT LIBRARY BOARD AND FOUNDATION BUSINESS
1. A review of the proposed joint City Council, Board and Foundation meeting was
discussed by Director Clark. Items for discussion include the success of the interim
services during the Remodel, status of the Remodel project, sharing with Council the
growth and milestone of our 1,000,000 circulation statistics and the status of our LSTA
grant for the proposed development of the Biane Library second floor. Director Clark
proposed getting more involvement from both the Board and staff for presentations to
the Council. President Coberly thought that staff did such an outstanding job,the Board
need not interfere. A discussion ensued with Rebecca Davies agreeing that a more
integrated presentation would give them more of a voice, more of an affirmation.
Jackie Amsler inquired about how historical preservation of the community was being
made more available for public access. A discussion ensued whereupon Director Clark
spoke of the need to make items digitized for online access. It was decided to add this
to the next agenda for future discussion as well as add it to the list of items to discuss
at the joint meeting with Council.
Rebecca Davies asked if the LSTA Grant was dependent on the State's budget.
Director Clark said that LSTA would be funded for this year, but that future years
funding might be in jeopardy.
2. Tour of the Archibald Library conducted by Robert Karatsu began with a PowerPoint
presentation of current pictures from the site. He noted that the project was ahead of
schedule even though they had a minor set-back with the need to fill and smooth out
the flooring. The monument sign was discussed briefly, staff noting and that it was
back in the drawing stage for potential modifications and exploration. An on-site tour
was to follow adjournment.
