Mrs. Dougherty reported on the activities of the Friends of the Library.

There had been several fund requests from Department Heads of the library. At the December meeting a request of $30.00 was approved for a jewelry making program in the Children's Department.

Other requests totaling $2,683.00 will be considered at the January meeting.

Miss Oljace reported that the automated circulation is moving into the final phase of installation. The data radios have been reinstalled and are to be tested within the next week. Hopefully all will go well.

Will be putting into use the dialup function of the computer so patrons in the area may call the library and dial into the library's catalog. Dynix has a new software for this program and Lake County Public Library will be installing it within the month. Wish to wait until they have it working to see if they have any serious problems before the software is installed at Anderson Public Library.

 

Mrs. Cumberland and Miss Oljace will be going to Provo, Ut. to attend the CODI Conference. Miss Oljace will be attending workshops to plan for upgrading the software. The upgrade must be added in sequence because the har4ware will not accept the next upgrade if one upgrade has been skipped.

 

Mrs. Cumberland reported that the Insurance Committee continues to meet on the second Tuesday of each month in the board room of the library. The committee informed Mrs. Cumberland that a list should be prepared of the art work in the library building. Library employees that use their own vehicles for library business should provide a Certificate of Insurance from their auto insurance company. The library is not liable for any damages that occur during the time they are using their vehicle for library business. The library could become a part of a suit if the employee is involved in an accident with their vehicle while on library business and does not have liability insurance coverage.

A truck was rented four or five times last year when any hauling needed to be done for the library.

 

Mr. Eicks asked that a yearly cost be presented at the next board meeting of truck rental, mileage paid to staff using their own vehicles for maintenance purposes, and cost for snow removal.

 

Mrs. Cumberland reported that thirty three (33) applications have been received for the Director's position.

 

Dr. Nelson will be going to the ALA Midwinter Conference in Denver, CO. to interview applicants that have been notified.

 

Mr. Surbaugh appointed Linda Shaffer and William Simmermon to a nominating committee for election of officers at the February 10, 1993 meeting.

 

Mrs. Cumberland's report:

1992 circulation was up slightly over 1991.

 

The new elevator cab will not be available for twelve to fourteen weeks. It was recommended that any construction preparing for the new elevator be postponed until the cab has arrived.

 

Kindergarten tours will start in February and will continue through March.

 

The S.A.T. study classes continue.

 

Improving study skills workshops will be held January 30th at 9 a.m. to noon and February 3rd, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.. A parent must attend with the student in order to build a partnership for study skills improvement.

 

The December settlement was received on December 23rd. The property tax was $7800 under the estimated figure used on the 1993 budget. The Auto Excise taxes were $55,452 above what the State Board of Tax Commissioners allowed on the 1993 budget and C.O.I.T. figure was under $1200 which is not unusual for the final payment of the year.

 

Will be doing an additional appropriation after the June 93 settlement has been received to make up for the some of the amount the State Board of Tax Commissions would not allow on the 1993 budget.

 

Mr. Surbaugh read a letter of resignation from Robin Winstead. She will be leaving March 31, 1993 as Coordinator of the RSVP program. She will be missed very much as she has done a great job working with the retired seniors.

 

There being no further business, Mr.Eicks moved to adjourn. Seconded by Miss Brooks.

Rodney Burkett, Extension Services Coordinator

Beth Oljace, Head of Technical Services

Sherry Dougherty, President, Friends of the Library

 

Mr. Surbaugh, President, called the meeting to order.

 

Mr. Surbaugh introduced the new appointee to the Board, Arthur Leak. He was appointed by the Madison County Council. Mr. Surbaugh welcomed Mr. Leak to the Board of Trustees.

 

Mr. Eicks moved to accept the minutes of the January 13, 1993 meeting as presented. Seconded by Mrs. Shaffer. Passed unanimously by the Board.

 

Mrs. Shaffer reported she had reviewed the invoices and initialed the claims finding them to be in order. Mrs. Shaffer moved to allow the claims for payment as listed. Seconded by Mr. Simmermon. Dr. Nelson abstained from voting because of a personal claim included in the bills to be approved. The motion passed with five Board Members voting yes, Mr. Eicks, Mr. Leak, Mrs. Shaffer, Mr.

Simmermon and Mr. Surbaugh.

 

Mr. Eicks suggested changing the vendor that is used to rent pagers for the library staff. He said the pagers could be obtained through the City's vendor at a cost about one half what the library is now paying.

 

Mrs. Cumberland reported she had researched the cost involved in renting a truck, snow plowing, mileage for staff going to and from Lapel Library and other uses of staff vehicles for the library. The cost was $1,947 in 1992.

The library does not have a utility vehicle the staff may use for library business.

 

Dr. Nelson moved to examine options for purchase of a truck after a new director is hired. Mr. Eicks seconded the motion. Passed unanimously by the Board.

 

Mrs. Dougherty reported on the activities of the Friends of the Library for the month of January. The bid of $9,500 from Ken Ryden to produce a sculpture for the library was defeated. The Friends are now looking into other sources for a gift to the library. Requests for $383. to purchase an overhead projector and stand, $500 each for Lapel Library and Children's Dept. was granted.

Lapel's Librarian has been asked to obtain three bids for a new computer before

making the purchase.

 

Mr. Surbaugh asked for a report from the nominating committee. Mrs. Shaffer reported that the committee had decided the current officers should continue for the coming year. The committee felt that changes at this time should not be made while searching for a new director.

Mr. Simmermon moved to retain the same officers for the corning year. They

are:

William Surbaugh, President

Douglas Nelson, Vice President

Robbin Brooks, Secretary

Linda Shaffer, Treasurer

 

Mr. Eicks seconded the motion. Passed unanimously by the Board.

 

After the last State Board of Accounts audit it was stated a resolution approving salary schedules of individuals must be approved by the Board. If done at an executive meeting to protect employees, the Board will need to vote to accept the personnel report at the regular board meeting, but it is not necessary for the Board to accept each month the employees who are receiving regular step advancements on their anniversary date, dependent on their performance appraisals. The next time the library is audited the executive meeting minutes would be available for the auditors including the personnel report. This would be satisfactory for the State Board of Accounts.

 

Mrs. Cumberland presented a draft of a resolution the Board may use when approving the salary schedule and not have to vote on each employee when receiving a regular step on the salary schedule. This resolution would be part of the salary schedule that is approved each year.

 

Mrs. Shaffer feels the performance appraisal should have a statement stating the employee must receive a 3 or above on their performance appraisal before receiving an advancement on the salary schedule.

 

Dr. Nelson feels there is a need for standard guidelines.

Also feels as a Board Member the performance appraisal will be useful in

evaluating the Director.

Mr. Surbaugh feels this is a major positive step.

 

Dr. Nelson moved to approve the salary report given at the previous executive meeting including the three persons given extra steps on the salary schedule.

 

Dr. Nelson reported about his trip to the American Library Midwinter Conference in Denver, Co. He had only one person come by for an interview about the Director's position. Did feel he learned what and what not to do if the need arises again in hiring a new director.

Dr. Nelson reported thirty-nine applications have been received. The committee has narrowed the number to eleven in a final pool. Have requested written references from the final eleven.

 

Miss Oljace reported that the data radios have been successfully tested.

She and Rod Burkett will be going to Provo, Ut. for a conference and she will be taking extensive training for updating software.

 

Mrs. Cumberland reported that the library will be closed for Presidents Day on February 22, 1993.

 

A reception for the staff and board members will be held April 21, 4:00to 4:30 p.m. preceding the board meeting at 4:30 p.m.

 

Mrs. Cumberland reported that the staff was asked how the library may help with their jobs. Most answered "some form of training". Mrs. Cumberland asked

for permission to close the library for a Staff Development day. All staff will be requested to attend.

 

Dr. Nelson moved to grant the closing of the library on May 21 for workshops for all staff to attend. Seconded by Mr. Eicks. Passed unanimously by the Board.

 

A grand opening of the Fire Safety House will be April 25^th with a presentation of the keys to the library.

 

There being no further business, Mr. Eicks moved to adjourn. Seconded

by Mrs. Shaffer.

Bill Surbaugh reported that last year the Board had two committees for the 1993 Budget, one being Personnel and the other being All Other Items. The Board decided to have two committee structures again this year for the 1994 Budget. The Personnel committee will be; Robbin Brooks as chair, Doug Nelson and Arthur Leak. The All Other Items Committee will be Bill Surbaugh as chair, Bill Simmermon and the new replacement for Linda Shaffer.

 

Sally Hunt reported that the library does have the check from the Collier estate in hand and will wait on information from attorney Jim Freeman before depositing it.

 

Sally Hunt reminded the Board on their intent to appropriate additional funds for books and materials. This was based on the fact that income received did include enough to restore the $20,000 that was cut from the 1993 Budget last fall. Bill Surbaugh asked for any comments from the public concerning the library appropriating the $20,000 for books and materials which was a replacement of the item that was previously cut from the 1993 budget. No public comments were made. Bill Simmermon moved to adopt the additional appropriation resolution as attached. The motion was seconded by Robbin Brooks and passed unanimously by the Board.

 

Sally presented a proposed resolution regarding the Knights of Columbus request for parking, for Wednesday night after 5:15. This will allow them to park in the West side of the North lot and a few spaces back of the Extension building.

The K of C will pay $1 a month per parking space. The K of c has offered to restripe some of the parking lots and to that extent that this happens the library will wave the $1 per month per site up to the amount that it would cost to restripe the lots. However, the parking agreement would be temporary and can be terminated at any time from either side. Arthur Leak move to adopt the resolution to allow K of C to have up to 50 spaces (resolution attached). Seconded by Robbin Brooks. The chair pointed out that the next item was a related issue. Bill Simmermon moved to table the resolution. Doug Nelson seconded.

Motion passed.

 

Sally presented a proposed resolution regarding the Social Security Office request for parking on a daily basis.

Following discussion, Doug Nelson moved to take the K of c parking resolution off the table. Robbin Brooks seconded. Motion passed.

Doug Nelson clarified the fact that this would be a "temporary solution." The chair asked for a show of hands to adopt the resolution for K of C parking request. Bill Surbaugh, Robbin Brooks and Arthur Leak all signified by saying "AYE". Doug Nelson and Bill Simmermon said "NAY". The resolution passed.

 

Bill Simmermon moved to table the motion for the Social Security Office request, indefinitely. His motion was seconded by Doug Nelson and passed.

 

Robbin Brooks proposed that staff prepare a study of what the library is doing now about parking, the library needs, the number of rental spaces and other rental rates around town.

The Board agreed, indicating that a moratorium would be put on renting parking spaces until further notice.

 

Sally Hunt asked the Board for partial reorganization to expand Rod Burkett's job duties and description and additional compensation for this in the amount of $3,000 per year. It was suggested that the position of Deputy Director be called Associate Director and that she take on the responsibilities of Security. Doug Nelson moved to allow the reorganization as presented. The motion was seconded by Robbin Brooks and passed unanimously by the Board.

 

Rod Burkett reported that the library received recognition for having the best motorized vehicle. He also noted that the Fire Safety House is not complete and they would whether not give a date as to when it will be complete.

 

Donna reported that federal funding for the Literacy program is in jeopardy. Letters are being sent to congressman in support of renewed funding.

 

Donna announced that 375 children signed up for summer reading in the children's department, and 60 signed up for the Young Adult program.

 

Sally said there were three things that she would like to call the board's attention to: Large amounts of staff "comp time" and vacation are outstanding and she has asked staff to take "comp time" in the pay period that they accrue it. (2) She has been told by the Insurance committee that anyone driving their own vehicles on library business will have to have a certain amount of insurance of their own. (3) There are a rather large number of items that are missing in our inventory. (4) The time table for the budget has moved up a little this year.

 

Bill Surbaugh suggested that the board do something for past board members. Robbin suggested that the Board invite Linda Shaffer back for dinner. The board agreed and Robbin will contact Linda to see when she is available.

 

Arthur Leak asked for someone to act as temporary treasurer while he is out of town. Doug Nelson will have the honor of doing so until Arthur returns.

 

Arthur Leak thought it would be best for him to withdraw from the personnel committee because he would be out of town.

 

He will serve on the other committee and Bill Simmermon will move to the All Other Items Committee.

Doug Nelson made motion to accept the minutes with the corrections as presented. Arthur Leak seconded. Motion passed.

 

Bill Surbaugh introduced and welcomed new board member Rhea Parshall.

 

Arthur Leak, Treasurer, reviewed the invoices and initialed the claims, finding the claims in order. Arthur Leak moved to allow the claims for payment as listed. The motion was seconded by Doug Nelson and passed unanimously by the Board.

 

Robbin Brooks presented the personnel committee recommendations and added that she would like to recommend two personal days per year instead of one.

 

Bill Surbaugh reported on the non-personnel budget report. The committee recommends increasing the collection budget to get it up to around 15% of the gross budget.

 

Dr. Robert Nicholson and Jeannie Lee from the Community Foundation gave a brief discussion on their organization and how the library could benefit from joining their foundation.

 

Sally presented the overall figures for the budget (recommendations attached). The 2% increase to the base salary schedule and 2% step increases would go to all but those who are not on the schedule. Three non-administrative staff off-the-schedule would benefit from a 2% increase if that is the board's intention.

 

The other figures correspond to increases that appear on the worksheet for $2,774,718 total. Bill Surbaugh reminded the Board of the $180,000 that had to be cut from the 1993 budget. He said for comparative purposes that $180,000 could be added back to the $2,356,454 for 1993.

 

A lengthy discussion on the budget and salary schedules followed. Doug Nelson suggested that the committee should act on the certain internal imbalances within the salary schedules this year and not put it off till next year.

 

Following more discussion, Doug Nelson moved to allow the budget to be advertised as $2,774,718 based on committee recommendations.

This was seconded by Rhea Parshall and passed unanimously by the Board.

 

Sally let the board know the Collier fund check is now in our hands. Bill Surbaugh stated that there were three ways in which we could use the check: (1) Put in operation fund. (2) Create a library endowment fund. (3) Let Community Foundation handle it as an endowment. Doug Nelson said that he would like to hear Sally's and Jim Freeman's recommendations. Sally recommended that the Board give her permission to open a designated account so the check can be deposited temporary until more complete plans are made. Doug Nelson so moved. The motion was seconded by Robbin Brooks and passed unanimously by the Board.

 

Sally said the Family Leave Act which allows employees to take a leave of absence for up to 12 weeks, goes in effect August 5, 1993.

Robbin Brooks made a motion that employees must use whatever sick, comp or vacation time they have before taking the 12 weeks leave under the Family Leave Act. Motion seconded by Doug Nelson and passes unanimously by the Board.

 

Due to newspaper advertising requirements, Sally said that the special meeting cannot be held on August 4, 1993, but could be moved to August 11. Robbin Brooks, Rhea Parshall, Doug Nelson, Bill Simmermon will be the quorum.

 

Robbin Brooks said she talked to Linda Shaffer and she will be available between August 26-30. The Board decided to have the dinner on Thursday August 26, 1993, 6:00 p.m. Rhea Parshall will pick the restaurant.

 

Bill Simmermon said the Lapel Library has a dead tree on their property that the Lapel Business men and women would like to replace at no cost. Bill Surbaugh said that since not cost is involved that it would be fine to do so and Rod will work with them on this.

 

Bill Surbaugh said he would like to authorize Sally to advertise the Extension position that is open as Librarian III instead of Librarian I. Doug Nelson so moved. Motion seconded by Robbin Brooks and passed unanimously by the Board.

 

Meeting Adjourned.
