LibraryBoard | 2006-06-14 | 2 | Page 2 of 4 Minutes of the Library Board Meeting June 14, 2006 B. Discussion of BALIS System Advisory Board Member (J. Chisaki) Acting Director Chisaki mentioned that an application had been received for this position, and she has recommended to the mayor that the candidate, Rebecca Kozak, be appointed. She also mentioned that outgoing SAB Representative, Marc Lambert, had met with Ms. Kozak to provide details on the responsibilities of the position. Consideration of the nominee by Mayor Johnson is slated to occur at the June 20, 2006 City Council Meeting. NEW BUSINESS A. Discussion of Donor Recognition Wall in New Main Library (J. Boone) Library Foundation President Jeptha Boone was present to give details on the donor recognition wall which will be placed in the new Library. The minimum donation needed in order to have your name on this wall is $5,000. Another option is to name a shelf in the new Library which goes for $100. President Boone passed out lists of names to the Board of contributing donors in both of these categories. The Board took a few minutes to review the lists, during which time a few questions arose. How are names and titles going to be laid out, i.e. will we require all to be uniform in structure? Examples: Dr. John Smith, as opposed to John Smith M.D. - or - Mr. & Mrs. John Smith as opposed to John and Mary Smith, etc. Foundation President Boone indicated he had seen donor walls of all different varieties. Some uniformly named, and some that were all over the map with about any combination possible. At the very least, there would have to be a character limit due to space constraints. The Foundation is still in discussion regarding the naming policy. What will the donor recognition wall by made of? President Boone had been advised that a material called Corydon would be a good choice. Board Member Butter asked if etched glass might be an option. Other suggestions were brought up, as well as an inquiry on whether the architect had been asked for input on this issue. Since he had not, Acting Director Chisaki indicated she would consult with Hacker and get back to the Board. In the end, the Board indicated approval of the direction the Foundation was taking in respect to the donor recognition wall. B. Alameda Free Library Foundation (A. Mitchell) Board Member Mitchell had not attended the previous Foundation meeting; however, because President Boone was in attendance, he gave the Board a re-cap. The Foundation had their annual election of officers at this meeting, and the new President will be Sylvia Kahn. Discussion regarding a naming policy for the donor wall was held. Their brochure is being put together, and will be four-fold and produced on quality paper stock. | LibraryBoard/2006-06-14.pdf |
