5. REPORTS
a. Director's Report
Mr. Bumgarner provided the board with the monthly report. Circulation is up again
and the staff recently participated in staff development day. He shared that Kuna is
seeking to join the LYNX! consortium. When the application is submitted, the board
will need to review and approve. There was discussion on the impact of adding Kuna
to the consortium; ultimately there will be a cost increase but it will be shared across
the group. The benefit is the consortium will now have access to the Kuna collection.
The library also had a table at the Eagle Country Christmas which was very well
attended.

Member Pittman to show him around the library.

A. Reorganization
Mr. Bumgarner provided the board with an updated organizational chart explaining

overall goal is these positions would provide supervision only when a manager or the
director is not on shift.
B. Job Descriptions
Mr. Bumgarner also provided the board with updated job descriptions to coincide
with the changes in the organizational chart. There were some clarifying questions on
job duties and specifics requirements. There was also extensive discussion on the job
titles and efforts to shorten the title to make it simpler. The discussion centered on
including the word "supervisor" in the title along with separating out Adult Lifelong
Education Coordinator and Guest Services Shift Supervisor while ensuring the

7. OLD BUSINESS
A. Future of Library Services update
Ms. Soelberg shared she attended the mayors reception with Ms. Hyer. The Arts
Commission approached them to discuss possible opportunities to collaborate on the
literary arts curriculum. This may be a topic for discussion later. Mr. Mortensen met
with Brian Cronin from strategies 360 to very broadly discuss ways they could assist
going forward. Ball park figures included looking at a poll of Eagle citizens on their
support for a bond. This could average about $20,000. There was discussion on the
timing of next steps and possibly meeting with the mayor and getting a proposal on
the city council agenda. Finding out what Analytics on Demand can provide will be
an important addition to the discussion.
Finally, Mr. Bumgarner shared an opportunity to attend a library conference in
Washington DC from June 21 to the 24. There are two spot for board members but
early registration needs to occur by January 9. The board didn't make any decision on
who would attend but did commit to sending two members.
