6. Uld Business. ACLD--their board approved a contract for
$5500 with the requirement that county residents register first
at the ACLD building .
-they obviously want patrons to see and use their library
facility
-this leaves out those who can' t or won' t go to that
facility but will find it more convenient to simply pay the $30.
non-resident fee instead .
-Joan feels that the ACLD pays EPL far too little. They
came to us and asked us to serve their patrons--they owe us more
-Mike says he feels the cost is worth it . City residents
are not taxed specifically for library services.
-Gary supports Mike
-Mike says that ACLD needs to budget a higher amount in the
future
-Joan feels that ACLD needs to be more up front with the
negotiations and that we must never forget the human part of this
issue
-Mike said that one of the ACLD board members was at the EPL
and claimed we were double-counting . He feels we should attend
ACLU meetings
-Lynn said that we do not need an invitation--we just need
to request to be put on the adjenda.
-Pat felt that we need to approve the contract as is and
work towards a better contract next year . She felt their public
relations are poor .
-Joan asked if Garden City patrons are required to qo to
ACLU to register .
-Marcia said that we need to keep track of those patrons who
are denied service at EPL and never get to ACLD to register for
that service.
-Lynn suggested a bulk mailing once a year to those card
holders who have not renewed cards.
-Motion made to accept contract and begin work for a better
one. Vary/Pat
'I. New Business. The questionnaire for statistics for the
State Library is almost done but overdue. Ann and BPL are
taking care of it . Mike will need to sign it . A plan for
meeting the deadline next year is in place.

as a memorial in the name of Lynn Trumbo from the Boise Treasure
Doll Club .
8. Miscellaneous. Mike said that , although they were dutifully
carried to Japan and back , the notes from the Saturday planning
meeting were not yet typed. He gave a brief oral summary.
We now need public input on the Vision for EPL. We need to
invite groups of people together to talk about library service
for the future of our community. Possible groups would include
Ada County residents, commuters who work out of Eagle, students,
seniors, and PTO members. Mike and Liz will plan.
We will discuss meetings on vision-planning and begin
generating names of people in each group . We need access to
current city maps.
