President Hartigan asked why there were no budget dollars in the individual line items; the Finance Department has not dropped them in yet. Hartigan then asked why the payroll dollars looked so out-of- whack from one month to the next, almost tripling these expenditures from July to August. Staff will talk with Finance to see what happened and report back at the next meeting. Vice President Whyte asked how the book machine was doing. Director Chisaki said it had been having some issues which the company in Germany fixed, and testing continues. The Library does not yet have the software that will alert us if the machine is down, but that is coming. Board Member Atkin proclaimed the End of Summer Reading Ceremony a great success, and thanked Vice President Whyte for her eloquent remarks. President Hartigan said this is the first time in 8-9 years that he has missed it. | LibraryBoard/2010-09-08.pdf |
