Called to order
Minutes of February 26 were approved as amended.
Librarian’s Report:
Katinka presented the statistics for the month of February which showed a slight increase in circulation. The library revenue/expenses ledger was examined. Current county distribution for FY 08-09 is $307,000. She explained the need to hire a new part-time employee, due to a severe illness of one of the existing staff members. The misprinted iris book bags will be barcoded and cataloged for checkout. Katinka explained that the county-wide service district is not completely agreed upon by all the cities yet, but that the county is still working hard at getting consensus.
Old Business:
Bruce led a discussion on the possible changes to the City Code as it pertains to the library board.
Mayor Austin thought a few minor changes might be in order, and suggested the board write some new suggested language.
Malana will resend the recap letter of the special meeting with the City Manager.
Ms. Mahan reported on the Friends of the Library. The steering committee has appointed officers and will be holding another planning session in April. They hope to have a booth at the Estacada Farmer’s Market with a mission of raising funds and disseminating information.
New Business:
The patron survey is being distributed with question #11 censored, as per the Board’s electronic decision. Expect collated results by next meeting.
There was lengthy discussion on employee/management relations.
Suzanne presented a draft leadership evaluation form, to be used for in-house feedback from the board to the director at the annual meeting in September.
