APPROVAL OF MINUTES/TREASURER'S REPORT
Ed Haskell moved, John Hunziker seconded to approve the meeting minutes from April 25, 2001. Motion approved.
Chris Colby moved, Ed Haskell seconded to approve the first quarter Treasurer's Report as submitted. Motion approved.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
At the last Library Board meeting, the Board endorsed a number of organizational changes which now need to go to the City Council for final approval. One major recommendation is the addition of a communications coordinator who will also act as liaison with the Friends and Foundation.
Frank thanked Veena, Michele, Audrey, and Kathy for updating the annual fund drive letter which will be mailed before the end of the month.
The Library Board has approved the appointment of Sue Reinke to the Foundation Board. Frank added that we need to continue to think about suggestions for additional Board members.
COMMITTEE STRUCTURE
The Executive Committee presented a draft committee structure at the April meeting. It is anticipated that committee members will be coordinating or managing members, but that all Board members will be expected to help out as needed. Additional committee members from the community can be added for specific functions as needed.
Ed Haskell moved, John Hunziker seconded to adopt the committee structure as drafted. Motion approved.
MEETINGS
Once the committee structure is implemented, the entire Board may not need to meet on a monthly basis. The consensus was to have committee chairs call their first meetings before the June Board meeting. At that time we will determine how often the full Board should meet.
Also discussed what is the best time for Board meetings. The consensus was to try 4:45 as the meeting start time.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Jean Michaels
Secretary
