LibraryBoard | 2006-04-12 | 2 | Page 2 of 4 Minutes of 04/12/06 Library Board Meeting UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Materials Security and Inventory System. (J. Chisaki) Acting Library Director Chisaki updated the group on the progress being made on this project. Everything to date is going very well; the branches have started their book tagging on closed days and have already completed several collections. Media tags are on the way and will be the next step in the process. NEW BUSINESS A. Consider Resolution of Support for Proposition 81 (J. Chisaki) Acting Director Chisaki presented a draft resolution in support of Proposition 81, the California Reading and Literacy Improvement and Public Library Construction and Renovation Bond Act of 2006. This proposition would allow the state to provide grants to local governments to construct new libraries and expand or renovate existing libraries, much like Proposition 14 which was approved by voters in 2000, that helped build the new Alameda Free Library. After reviewing the resolution, a few minor language changes were suggested. One point was deleted which referred to fiscal impact, at this time unknown, and another point was added which referred to hopes that a new branch library will be built at the ever-growing Alameda Point. Board President Krongold read through the resolution as revised, and a vote was taken to bring the resolution to the City Council for their support. Member Schoenrock moved to accept the resolution as revised, Member Mitchell seconded and the motion carried by a 4-0 vote. B. Request to be closed April 16 in observance of Easter (J. Chisaki) Acting Director Chisaki explained that Easter Sunday is not an observed City holiday because most City offices are closed. If need be, the Library could be open and staffed primarily by part-time employees. The Board asked whether other City and County libraries would be closed, and Chisaki stated that neighboring libraries were closed on Sunday. Board Member Butter indicated that the library at UCSF was to be open and thought it unusual that these other libraries would be closed. After a bit of discussion, Member Mitchell moved to approve the closure, Member Butter seconded and the motion carried by a 4-0 vote. | LibraryBoard/2006-04-12.pdf |
