Board member Schoenrock NOMINATED Ruth Belikove for Vice President. Board member Mitchell SECONDED the motion which CARRIED by a unanimous voice vote. Board member Mitchell passed out Liberry Jam from Humboldt County library. He commented that they had raised over $10,000 selling jam as a fundraiser and suggested we consider something similar. NEW BUSINESS A. Library Building Team (M. Hartigan) Mike Hartigan reported that the library project is 27% complete and on budget. Board member Schoenrock asked how the art was approved for the new building. Library Director Hardie explained that when the Public Art Committee was not yet a Commission it had approved five pieces of art for the new main library. The five art pieces then had to be approved by the Parks & Recreation Commission. The Commission only approved four pieces and rejected the fifth piece. Since the Art Committee is now the Art Commission it is no longer required to get Parks & Recreation to approve public art. Therefore, the fifth previously unapproved piece of art is now being grandfathered in. Vice President Belikove asked about the glass panels on the staircase of the new building. Ms. Hardie explained that there would be clear glass beneath the railing. Stained glass will not be used on the staircase but there will be stained glass opportunities in other areas of the library. B. Alameda Free Library Foundation (R. Belikove) Vice President Belikove reported that the Library Foundation was still getting organized after a change in administration. They continue to receive training in fundraising. Lois Hanna has donated $10,000 to the Foundation. President Krongold asked if the cruise is still being considered as a fundraiser.
