Discussion-- Library Budget Concerns
Jankowska reported the Friends of the Library had offered to fund one part-time
position but Mayor Wi_Il/ams had provided funds to retain one part-time position by
taking $16,000 from the book budget leaving $8,000 in the book budget. Jankowska
stated, if the State grant is approved, an additional $6,000 would be available for
books. Jankowska asked if the Friends of the Library would supplement the book
budget or do a fundraiser for books.
Other budget cuts were discussed and Jankowska indicated a copy of the full budget
would be available at the next meeting.
Jankowska continued with the Director's report:
The Turn-Off-TV event was held on April 27~ and 27 children attended.
The Gates computers are installed and difficult to use as they are very
secure. A demonstration will be held at the next Library Commission meeting. · The library will begin updating the catalog next week.
· There are more people utilizing the Intemet at the library.
· The library will attempt to purchase as many books as they can with the
limited budget.
DeForest reported the Mayor requested the library seek alternative means for funding
and if anyone has any ideas to contact her. DeForest continued, the Mayor suggested
charging for library cards but sKe felt that may be a waste of effort.
Discussion was held on the amount of library revenues that go directly to the General
Fund.
Discussion -- Proposed Meeting Schedules for City Commission,
Committees, Boards and Council on Aging.
DeForest reported the City would like to have all commission and committee meetings
held at City Hall because the recording equipment is more reliable. Councilman Moore
added, the public is used to attending meetings at City Hall as well.
