total number of participating library locations increases.

the money drawer and srVe'&l conitligh.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT—by Ann
c1t'•Patrick aslasked to speak to a child who is suspected of stealing library materials. An
investigation is underway to see what rules may apply, including denying this individual access to
the library in the future.
Ann asked if Board thought the self check purchase should be delayed because of problems with
the way the budget is being allotted. One issue is that the City did not meet as expected to .
discuss the impact of their allotment strategy on library operations. Stan suggested a meeting
with Sharon to make sure there is a large enough buffer to cover normal pattern of materials
purchasing as well as the self check.
All activity statistics are on the rise.
Stan mentioned that "" eat city council asked why the library is handling videos and music.
Board discussed that both of these are standard library collection materials all over the United
States and elsewhere. This is no different than carrying books that some people can't afford to
buy or rent elsewhere.
COMMITTEE REPORTS—none •
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Satellite Dish
Don is still working on a digital photo mock-up,to be produced on a rendering program,to
illustrate the final disposition of the dish. This mock-up will be shares with Bill Vaugh for final
approval.
Meeting Room
Continued to discuss meeting room policy concerns. One question raised was doo we need to ask
for two checks(deposit plus a cleaning fee). Stan indicated that the City agrees it is not a good
idea to offer room use to for profit groups even though policy currently says this is ok if not
charging or paying a presenter. Board decided more research is needed. Ann will find out what
the Boise Library and Seniors Center do.
NEW BUSINESS - none
ADDITIONAL ITEMS OR PUBLIC COMMENT—
Stan mentioned that the new city hall project effort has narrowed down prospective architects
