Library Board of Trustees

Burlington Public Library Board of Trustees Meeting August 7, 2018 Meeting Minutes In attendance: Sara Ward, Heidi Yeoman, Cindy Lint, Maria Magana, Maria Pickering, Tonya Bieche Maria P. moved to approve the minutes of the June meeting. Heidi seconded, motion passed. Communications:  Summer reading activities are going well. Typically attended by 100+  A Patron reported that he found a job using the Library A to Z software.  Quidditch Fest was a huge success. 2500-3000 attendees. People from both Vancouvers, Port Townsend, Idaho, etc.  Financials still not entirely correct. The budget underestimated postage costs. Software maintenance indicates $8000 overspent, probably some of those charges belong in Professional Services and Dues and Subscriptions. Unfinished Business:  Library Bills: Heidi moved to approve. Maria P. seconded. Motion passed.  Weeds and Discards: Cindy moved to approve. Heidi seconded. Motion passed. New Business:  Two board positions are open. Recruitment underway. Three interested applicants.  MOU with School District: The district has still not got back to us regarding their participation.  Strategic Plan: RFQ is posted. One consultant has already inquired.  2019 Budget: will be populated next week. Mostly the same as this year. One big ask is for new tables for the meeting room. They are wearing out.  2020 Budget: plans are to ask for an additional library page, and possibly an expanded book budget.  Quidditch Fest update: City will reassess the Fest considering Warner Bros. “Cease and Desist” orders to many such gatherings. Also, proposals for the Lodging Tax monies are due by end of August.  A request was received from Radius Church to dispense supplies for homeless/needy people from the library. The board felt this was outside the purview of library staff and could be abused. Respectfully denied. Submitted by Cindy Lint Next meeting September 4, 2018
