Assistant City Manager Warmerdam responded that Public Works handles the lagoon and that the City receives many calls regarding the smell. Board member Wilson asked if there are objectives to be met and if there are tests in place to see if the desired effect was achieved. Assistant City Manager Warmerdam responded that the goal was for no new net trips through the tube. There are baselines to count the number of trips. C. Friends of the Library. (J. Chisaki) There is a Friends meeting in two weeks. There was no formal fall campaign for fundraising, but with the donation envelope included in all mailings they were able to raise approximately $10,000. The book sale committee has a new chair and she rearranged the book sorting room and had a new bulletin board installed. They are now tracking and reporting volunteer hours. With more accurate tracking, they are able to apply for grants. Wi-fi may be available at the O'Club by the next sale. The Friends will be co- hosting the Lunar Festival Day with the Bay Farm branch.
