LibraryBoard | 2006-09-13 | 1 | TERNA RATED Minutes of the ALAMEDA FREE LIBRARY BOARD SEPTEMBER 13, 2006 The regular meeting of the Alameda Free Library Board was called to order at 7:00 p.m. ROLL CALL Present: Karen Butter, President Ruth Belikove, Vice President Alan Mitchell, Board Member Mark Schoenrock, Board Member Absent: Leslie Krongold, Board Member Staff: Jane Chisaki, Library Director Marsha Merrick, Recording Secretary CONSENT CALENDAR An asterisk indicates items so enacted and adopted on the Consent Calendar. A. *Report from Library Director highlighting Library Department activities for the month of September 2006. Accepted. B. *Draft Minutes of the Regular Library Board meeting of August 9, 2006. Approved. C. *Library Services Report for the month of July 2006. Accepted. D. *Report from Finance Department reflecting FY 2005-06 Library expenditures (by fund) through August 2006. Accepted. E. *Bills for ratification. Approved. President Butter asked Director Chisaki if she thought the statistics moving forward would be more stable. Chisaki was fairly certain the numbers will look a lot more consistent now. With the closure of the Interim Main during October, and the opening of the New Main in November, numbers will undoubtedly fluctuate, but should re-stabilize towards year-end. The statistics are put together on a fiscal-year basis, and an annual report was promised by Director Chisaki at a future, possibly November or December, board meeting. Board Member Mitchell inquired about a negative number on the Division Expenditure Status Report in the category of Machinery & Equipment. The IT Department has encumbered some funds in this category for PC and related acquisitions for the new building. These monies should have been drawn from the construction fund, so account numbers may have been miscoded. Numbers will be double-checked by staff, and adjusted as necessary. | LibraryBoard/2006-09-13.pdf |
