IV. Read and discussed the letter from Lynn to Steve Gerber
stating that she will not be able to continue the contract after
September 30, 1993. The board expressed regret , stating that the
affiliation has been beneficial to the EPL. Certain non-cost
services will still be available. Lynn will help prepare the
next budget . The board discussed how the personnel transfers
will be made back to city employee status.
Lynn talked to Mark Falconer at H.P. He state that the
Matching Gifts Program was a non-cash program. Employees can
purchase H.P. equipment at 1/4 the cost and donate that equipment
to the EPL. H.P. will then donate the rest of the cost . This is
an alternate way of getting equipment not available through
outright donation. Stan mentioned that Mr . Butterfield was
interested in this project and Liz suggested that this might be a
project the Friends could coordinate.
V. Old Business. Policy Manual . Library Services. The draft
was re-read and approved . Liz/Marcia
VI . New Business. Discussed time line for the Albertson
development in Eagle. Stan explained that after the announcement
was made in the Statesman, the development company has time to
"assemble" property and plans. At this time they will bring
plans and proposals to the City Council plus hold public
meetings. The board was relieved to know that they could cease
saving cardboard boxes and resume creating concrete statements
and lists as to library requirements. A free-standing building
that becomes the intellectual center of town still remains the
design of choice.
Liz requested that a line be added to the new budget that is
specifically earmarked to be saved and accumulated towards
equipping the new library.
The board discussed the drafts for "Use of Library" and
"Exhibits" Action will be taken at the July meeting .
The board moved to raise the service fee for replacement of
hardcover and non-print materials to $5.00 plus the cost of the
actual replacement . The service fee for the replacement of lost
paperback books will remain $2.00. Pat/Marcia. Vote Unanimous.
VII . Miscellaneous. Lynn shared a brochure from the Eagle Chamber
of Commerce. It includes a summary of available library
services.
