LibraryBoard | 2008-08-13 | 4 | Page 4 of 4 Minutes of the Alameda Free Library Board Meeting August 13, 2008 DIRECTOR'S COMMENTS The annual comparison report was handed out and the Board discussed the figures briefly. President Belikove's copy will be sent to her in the mail due to her absence at the meeting. The patron database purge is now complete. An estimated 15,000 registrations were removed; 9,000 were done in a batch mode and 6,000 in a manual mode. There are now 40,610 adult, and 11,215 juvenile patrons remaining, or a grand total of 50,825 active records. The recommendation is to do a database purge every six months. An e-mail had come from Sacramento to say that the Library Construction Bond which had been held in the suspense file is officially dead, and there is no chance at this time of it moving forward. Representatives from the Library Foundation will be present at the August 19 City Council meeting to speak on behalf of organizations such as theirs that support City Departments on the agenda item of public use policy at the Alameda Theater. Chisaki passed around the plaque of honor that had been received from Real Estate & Construction Review recognizing the new Alameda Free Library as one of the top projects in Northern California. LEED certification is still being held up by the US Green Building Council. The USGBC database had become corrupted, so previous responses submitted by City staff had all been lost; all this information now has to be re-submitted. The Library is currently extending the agreement with the Alameda County Waste Management Association to take us through this process. If we get the silver certification, the Library will get back about $70,000 from ACWMA. These funds will go back into Measure O so there will be that much more money to spend on the branch improvement projects. ADJOURNMENT Vice President Hartigan asked for a motion to adjourn the meeting at 7:06 p.m. Member Mitchell so moved; Member Butter seconded the motion which carried by a 4-0 vote. Respectfully submitted, Jane Chisaki, Library Director and Secretary to the Library Board | LibraryBoard/2008-08-13.pdf |
