LibraryBoard | 2006-07-12 | 2 | Page 2 of 4 Minutes of the Library Board Meeting July 12, 2006 President Krongold asked for a motion to approve the Consent Calendar as presented. Board Member Butter so moved; Board Member Belikove seconded the motion which carried by a 5-0 unanimous vote. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Materials Security and Inventory System - Update (J. Chisaki) Acting Director Chisaki indicated that things were still on target with the tagging process. Staff has had to adjust the placement of tags in children's books, so as not to cover up pictures or pop-ups. Board Member Butter inquired if the RFID equipment would be installed by the time the new Library opens. Director Chisaki said that as soon as David Hall returns from vacation they would be addressing this issue. The IT contracts were awarded by Council, and the vendors are ready to proceed. Chisaki expressed her confidence that everything would be installed and ready to go by opening day. B. Discussion of BALIS System Advisory Board Member (J. Chisaki) Acting Director Chisaki spoke about Rebecca Kozak who is more than happy to be our new SAB Representative. There was a small drawback in the appointment process, however, so Rebecca has not been officially named yet. Chisaki had followed the same procedure as the previous director by writing a staff report and resolution for Council to approve. One of the Council members questioned this because the SAB is not a standard Board or Commission of the City. The item ended up being pulled from the agenda prior to the meeting. The Mayor will most likely nominate Ms. Kozak for the position at the next regular City Council Meeting, and then officially appoint her at the following meeting. NEW BUSINESS A. Meeting Room Use in New Main Library (J. Chisaki) Acting Director Chisaki gave out the City's Management Practice governing meeting room use. Chisaki also gave out a summary of policies that other libraries follow in regards to this subject. How to apply rules and rules for meeting room use are standard fare, and in most cases, the Director (or similarly titled position) would be able to trump all, i.e. have the final say on what groups get priority consideration. First steps are to identify the rooms available for use, and then determine who would do the booking of these rooms. The smaller group study rooms which accommodate 4-6 people might be booked at the Reference Desk, and the larger meeting rooms might be available in a busy search on Group Wise, however, the actual booking would be done by the Executive Assistant or Director. | LibraryBoard/2006-07-12.pdf |
