LibraryBoard | 2008-12-10 | 1 | Chy OF the 6 TERRA Minutes of the ALAMEDA FREE LIBRARY BOARD MEETING December 10, 2008 The regular meeting of the Alameda Free Library Board was called to order at 6:02 p.m. ROLL CALL Present: Ruth Belikove, President Mike Hartigan, Vice President Karen Butter, Board Member Alan Mitchell, Board Member Absent: Gail Wetzork, Board Member Staff: Jane Chisaki, Library Director Marsha Merrick, Recording Secretary CONSENT CALENDAR An asterisk indicates items so enacted or adopted on the Consent Calendar. A. *Report from Library Director Highlighting Activities for the Month of December 2008. Accepted. B. *Draft Minutes of the Regular Library Board Meeting of November 12, 2008. Approved. C. *Library Services Report for the Month of October 2008. Accepted. D. *Financial Report Reflecting FY 2008-09 Expenditures by Fund through November 2008. Accepted. E. *Bills for Ratification for the Month of November 2008. Approved. Vice President Hartigan asked why the telephone account is in the negative on the Expenditure Status Report. Director Chisaki explained that each department pays a monthly chargeback to IT (the Library's share is $2,200) for debt still owed on the phone system. Being unaware of this charge, additional money was not budgeted. Hartigan also asked why there is only $15,000 left for electricity this year. Chisaki said a large chunk of money is already encumbered on a purchase order for Alameda Power & Telecom, and the $15,000 is what is left after that, so we are still in very good shape. Chisaki went on to say that if funds become available, there is already a request in to install solar panels on the Library. President Belikove asked for a motion to accept the Consent Calendar as presented. Member Butter so moved; Member Mitchell seconded the motion which carried by a 4-0 vote. | LibraryBoard/2008-12-10.pdf |
