CityCouncil | 2005-07-19 | 15 | Mayor Johnson inquired whether name plaques would be placed on shelves, to which the Library Director responded in the affirmative. Mayor Johnson inquired whether the names would remain on shelves forever; stated $100 does not seem high enough for having a name remain forever. The Library Director stated the names remain for the life of the item, not the life of the library; the name would not remain if a shelf is replaced. Mayor Johnson stated $100 does not seem like a large amount. The Library Director stated setting a reasonable amount could raise a lot of money; $1 million was raised mostly from $100 shelves in another library. Councilmember Matarrese noted shelves, which only cost $100, might last longer than chairs, which are $500; stated that the policy is a good way to raise money. Councilmember deHaan inquired whether there is maintenance involved with the plaques. The Library Director responded possibly, but problems with plaques are minimal. Councilmember deHaan stated plastic plaques could be damaged. The Library Director stated an inexpensive, but durable and attractive, shelf tag would be used. Dr. Jeptha Boone, Alameda Free Library Foundation President, stated the foundation was formed 6¹/² years ago to raise money for the library; the foundation has raised $65,000 and is trying to raise $600,000 for art, branches and collections; urged approval of the policy. Councilmember deHaan moved approval of the staff recommendation. Councilmember Matarrese seconded the motion, which carried by unanimous voice vote - 5. (05-364) Consideration of waiving attorney client privilege of September 12, 2003 and April 10, 2001 legal opinions regarding vehicle allowance for City Manager and City Attorney.
