Issue with Laguna Point with barbed wire fence. Lots of discussion about apartment complex at Ballentine and old
State. City filed for eminent domain on old gas station. Owner has expressed intent to go into litigation. Floating
Feather down to Park in April will start to widen and put in bike lanes.
7. New Business
A. Employee and Volunteer Dress Code Policy (annual review and proposed policy
change)
Relax the policy to include ability to wear jeans. Sometimes accidents with bodily fluids happen and it would be
nice to not have to clean up while wearing dressier clothes. Also, staff frequently get down on the floor during
programming with children; jeans would make that easier.
This is consistent with dress codes at other similar sized libraries.
Motion to accept with modifications moved by Pete, seconded by Thomas. Motion was unanimously carried.
B. Hours of Operation Policy (annual review)
Pete made motion to continue existing policy, Margo seconded. Motion was unanimously carried.
C. Budget Work Sessions
Requests up to two meetings, first one toward the end of April for about 2 hours. Either separate meeting or
Saturday morning meeting. At our next meeting, Board members will come with available times for next meeting
in early April. This is tabled for next meeting.
D. City Comprehensive Plan Review Committee
This is a six-month commitment, meeting about twice weekly. First meeting anticipated in April. Stan will
provide more details about meeting times. It is possible that this will be during the day. Board is willing to
participate, but needs more details before any one person can commit. Tabled until more information is
provided on timing of meeting.
E. Early Board of Trustees seat vacancy
Margo has family issues that necessitate her need to resign effective this evening. The board will continue this
discussion on interim seat at the next meeting.
