EAGLE PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD OF TRUSTEES
MINUTES
July 16, 2009
Community Room
Board President Margo Walter called the EPL Board of Trustees special budget meeting to order
at 4:01 PM. Present were Board Members Danae Curtis,Nancy Marshall, Library Director Ron
Baker, Assistant Director Janice Campbell, Jeanie Comerford, Operations Manager, and Terri
Lenigan, Administrative Assistant.
Unexpected Expenses:
The Library's premium for Primary Health will increase by $11,339 next year.
Unemployment insurance, totaling$13,600, was a major unexpected expense. Over a two-year
period, $10,000 will be paid with the FY 2008/09 budget and the remaining $3,600 from the FY
2009/10 budget. It will be necessary to use anticipated BPL reimbursement monies to pay these
expenses. The Board felt that unemployment insurance should be a city expense and should not
be paid with library money. The Board would like to schedule a meeting with the Mayor, the
City Clerk, and the Council to discuss working together with the City to pay this expense.
LAI for Youth Services: Restoring an LAI for Youth Services will require $11,000 in personnel
costs. Director Baker has asked the Board to commit to this position if the actual overage is
more than$11,000. At present, the overage of$4,503 has been placed in account number .69-03
(Miscellaneous Personnel). Nancy Marshall made a motion to commit to hiring an LAI if there
is enough money from the rollover. Danae Curtis seconded the motion, which passed
unanimously.
The Board reviewed the recommended budget, line by line. Essentially, this is the same budget
that was presented in April in preparation for the RIF. There were only a few additions:
• Account .51-02: Includes increase of$975 for DSL service to public tech lab.
• Account 58-02: Includes increase of$200 for external back-up drives for Library's server
and an increase of$100 for DSL modem.
• Account .74-01: Includes increase of$700 for external back-up software for Library's
server.
• Account .74-00: Supports emergency replacement of two aging public access catalog
and/or public tech lab work stations at $1,300 each and includes $1,800 for 72 1.f. of
credenza shelving in adult non-fiction collection.
Nancy Marshall made a motion to adopt the recommended budget for presentation to the City
Council on Tuesday, 21 July 2009; Danae Curtis seconded the motion, which carried
unanimously.
