More stipulations have been added. In addition to prior mandates, the library director must now establish a collections policy and is required to attend..at..least one educational event. A broad discussion took place in regard to the added stipulations and the overall grant process. · She applied for an E-Rate discount for the 2001/2 Intemet service. · The ACLU will legally challenge legislation recently adopted by Congress that would mandate the use of blocking software on computers in public libraries. Jankowska mentioned a message from the state librarian said to disregard news of impending implementations as at the present time funding is low and the rules of what will be blocked are vague. · A review of the need for a new central computer server which would allow the library computers to go through whether or not censorship filters must be added. Such a server would also act as a simplified way to manage the library network as it is beneficial for the library to have one server to perform routine tasks such as backups and program upgrades. In addition, a new server would prevent the public from obtaining access to library fries and downloading files. A lengthy conversation regarding the best approach for obtaining funding for a server took place. Councilman Moore stated he would take the matter to Council once the Finance Director returns. Moore will then advise the Commission on what option is best. Jankowska also spoke at length regarding the timing of the installation of a firewall and DSL. · If funding permits, the Library would like to purchase more DVD's. 6b. Friends of the Library-- Commissioner Heus reported the following: · The Holiday Open House held on December 14 was a success. Perhaps not as many people attended but it seemed that all stayed longer. · The building fund raffle generated about $3,500 and the total is near $66,000.00. They will now be looking into how to hold it (CD, Mutual Fund, etc.). Heus also commented on the need to have a small reserve of funds available for immediate access. · The "Home Tea" membership drive will be underway soon. 6e. City Council Liaison- - Councilman Moore reported the following: · The vacant commission seat received only one application. He inquired if Emily DeForest was interested. DeForest replied she was concerned it could create a conflict of interest to be a commissioner due to her previous and extensive knowledge and contact. Concerns were aired and it. was decided that DeForest's application would not create a conflict of interest. She stated she would have her application turned in by the following morning. ITEM 7' OLD BUSINESS- - Library Expansion LIBRARY COMMISSION MEETING MINUTES JANUARY 2,2001 PAGE 2 Commissioner Heus commented she was concerned about the process the Friends of the Library might take in order to receive funding for the library expansion. A broad discussion regarding this topic took place and was concluded by all that the Friends of the Library should be kept appraised of any discussions and changes made by the Commission. 'ITEM 8: NEW BUSINESS- - Alaska Native Community Jankowska reported on the topic of the library establishing a more active relationship with the native community. Not much work had been on this yet but she/vas planning to contact Native leaders to see if there was interest. City Clerk Freas commented that Rita Smagge from the Kenaitze Tribe would be a good source of information and guidance. Councilman Moore said he spoke to Smagge by chance and she was very responsive. He further suggested Jankowska and Smagge meet alone to determine interests and activities before coming to the Commission with the information. Jankowska will contact Smagge in the near future. ITEM 9: COMMISSIONER COMMENTS/QUESTIONS Peters- - Expressed thanks for being voted Chairman.
