PRESENTATION
Liberty Lake Municipal Library Board of Trustees Report to City Council
October 4, 2016
Introduction
My name is Carol Johns and I am representing the Board of Trustees, Liberty Lake Municipal Library. The
other board members include: Linda Dockrey
Pat Lutzenberger
Tricia Morgan
Lu Embrey
We meet at the Library on the first Thursday of the month at 10 am and welcome the public to attend.
We are advised by Pamela Mogen (Librarian) and Katy Allen.
Our report to the City Council is generally presented in the spring but was delayed this year due to a
wish to know the outcome of the August Vote on the Town Square Project. While there is some
disappointment due to failure of the bond measure to pass with the necessary percentage of votes we
hope that the library will continue to have a positive impact on the community in its current location.
We would like to focus our report on how that might best be accomplished.
One of the projects of the Board of Trustees during the past year and a half has been 1) the
development of a Strategic Plan and 2) identification of standards that would guide the development of
a new library location in the future.
We believe, due to the rapid growth of the Liberty Lake community, we must consider how the libraries
resources might best meet the needs of our expanding number of patrons.
Historically the public library has been a free source of educational materials to all who
wish to access its information
Technological change and digitalization has changed the way we access information and
as a result has changed our view of libraries, library services, and information access and
use.
Due to the increased emphasis on Technology the library must:
1. Provide space for individuals to learn more about how to access
technology
2. Be a place to access tangible and digital collections
3. Provide a community center for encouraging communication and
collaboration
The annual report of facts and figures was presented to the City Council by Pamela Mogen last spring to
reflect programs and utilization of services provided by the library. However, one issue that the City
Council may not be aware of is the fact that the state of Washington does not have a set of standards to
guide library services. Based on a desire to have such standards the Board of Trustees has spent
considerable time reviewing specific standards of other states. These state standards clearly identify for
libraries, based on the area’s population, the necessary space allocation, staffing requirements, salaries,
benefits, emergency procedures and protocols for the training of staff and volunteers. One area of
these standards that we felt was lacking, specific to our library, is the need for a larger area of flexible
space. We would like the city council members to be aware that we have, based on other states
standards, developed a set of standards that we feel would be helpful to take into consideration in the
planning of the future needs of the library. We would be happy to share these standards with all of the
council or a subcommittee that would have interest in this topic for discussion.
In closing the board would like to identify 10 Reasons why our library is the most important place in
town:
10. The Library is an important partner in child development
9. The library teaches teens important life skills
8. The library offers opportunities for remote access, making it possible for those who can’t get
to the library to still access the libraries educational offerings
7. The library provides information, education, and program opportunities, free for all people
regardless of economic status
6. The library provides access to the arts/history for all ages through book clubs and special
exhibits
5. Libraries help citizens learn new skills – through programs and materials
4. While going to the library looking for information patrons frequently find others with similar
interests, i.e. story time, teen book clubs, attending events
3. The library provides space for special programs and educational endeavors
2. The library provides space that is accessible for those with disabilities
1. The library is the hub of a vibrant neighborhood
The board would like to thank the council for their past and future support of the goals of the Library!

vacation, the Chief of Police, with the approval of the Mayor may authorize additional
carry over.
An employee who ceases to be an employee of the Employer shall receive a sum of
money equal to his/her current rate of pay for any accrued vacation time which has not

with their scheduled shift for each calendar month worked. Sick leave credit shall

severance and payable upon the official retirement of the employee or upon the death
of the employee. In the event of death, payment is to be made to the Employee’s
beneficiary.

available for their immediate use following their date of hire. Employees will begin to
accrue sick leave starting on the sixth-month pay period and will not accrue more than 96
hours in the first year of employment.
c. Allowable Uses of Sick Leave: Sick leave covers those situations in which an
employee is absent from work due to:
(a) Employee's own health condition (illness, injury, physical or mental
disability, including disability due to pregnancy or childbirth);
(b) The need to care for the employee's immediate family members
(children, spouse, parent and/or parent-in-law) who are ill (see
Washington Family Care Act);
(c) Medical or dental appointments for the employee or an immediate
family member who needs assistance to go to such appointments;

immediate family may be authorized by the Mayor or his/her designee;

4810-4157-6982.1 12
will be deducted for the actual time away from the job on an hour-for-hour basis.
e. If unable to report to work because of illness or injury, the employee shall report
his reason for absence to his immediate supervisor on duty, at least three (3) hours
prior to his scheduled work shift, unless the exigency of the circumstances dictate
otherwise. Failure to provide proper notification may constitute abandonment of
duties. After three (3) consecutive days of sick leave, the Police Chief or his
designee may require a doctor's statement from the employee verifying the
employee's condition which prevented him or her from working. The City may
also request the opinion of a second doctor at the City's expense to determine
whether the employee suffers from a chronic physical or mental condition which
impairs his/her ability to perform the job.
f. Any employee found to have abused the provisions of a defined leave privilege by
falsification or misrepresentation shall be subject to disciplinary action.
g. Sick Leave Donation. Employees may participate in the Sick Leave Donation Formatted: List Paragraph, Numbered +

h. Employee Disability: Employees may use all accumulated leave (sick, vacation,
holiday) for a serious, disabling illness or health condition (including disability
associated with pregnancy and childbirth) which renders the employee unable to
work. However, if an employee does not have sufficient leave, the employee will
be granted an unpaid leave for recovery. The employee’s leave will not extend
beyond the longer of the accumulated leave or twelve weeks in a rolling twelve
month period, except in circumstances where the City’s Shared Leave program is
authorized (as per Ordinance No. 472the City Personnel Policy), in which case the Comment [BK2]: Joe, this ordinance does not
exist so I referenced the policy
maximum leave can be up to ninety days. In extenuating circumstances the
employee may seek additional leave through their immediate supervisor.
During the period of time an employee is on Family Medical Leave, the Employer
will continue its contribution to the employee’s medical, dental and life insurance
benefits for a period of twelve weeks or as long as the employee remains in a paid
status (whichever is longer). The employee will be required to continue to pay their
contributions for medical, dental and supplemental life insurance benefits through
payroll deductions and or self payment. If, after twelve weeks, the employee is in an
unpaid status, the employee is responsible for the full cost of insurance coverage.
Employees returning to their position following the expiration of their Family
Medical Leave will be reinstated to their former position and or an equivalent
position as required by law.
4810-4157-6982.1 13
i.b. Bereavement Leave: When a death occurs in an employee’s immediate family the
employee may take up to three working days of paid bereavement leave. Additional
bereavement leave of two additional days may be granted by the Mayor or designee.
Sick leave days may be taken for additional leave. An employee is not paid for any
day off if the employee would not otherwise have been entitled to compensation for
that day. Bereavement leave pay shall be that amount the employee would have
earned had the employee worked his/her regular work schedule during the leave.
Immediate family is defined as being related by blood, marriage, co-habitation, or
legal adoption in the degree of consanguinity of grandparents, parents, spouse,
brother, sister, child, grandchild and any relative living in the employee’s household.
j.c. Leave of Absence Without Pay: The Mayor or designee, with the recommendation
of the Chief of Police, may grant a leave of absence without pay for absence from
work for up to a 30 day duration not covered by any other type of leave or if other
leave balances are exhausted. Situations for which such leave may be granted would
be to the interest and welfare of the City and are not solely for the employee’s
personal gain or profit. Employees that fail to return to their position at the end of the
agreed upon leave of absence shall be deemed to have resigned from employment
with the City unless there are extenuating circumstances approved in advance by the
City.
An employee on a leave of absence without pay for thirty days or more shall not
accrue vacation, sick leave and all other benefits paid or unpaid.
k.d. Light Duty Assignments: Employees who have been authorized leave due to
serious illness or work related injury, may upon release from his/her physician and
approval of the administration, qualify for return to “light duty” assignment within sworn
service. For the purpose of this section, “light duty” refers to duty other than normal
patrol duties. Nothing in this section shall obligate the Chief of Police to create
unnecessary work or light duty assignments. Light duty assignments separately or
simultaneously will at no time constitute more than one full time position. The length of
any light duty assignment will be determined by the Chief of Police. Employees assigned
to light duty shall not be scheduled to work overtime.

response was received or was due, refer the grievance to arbitration or the Civil Service
Commission by notifying the other party of its intent to appeal the grievance. In the case
of disciplinary actions, or other matters both appealable to the Civil Service Commission

made after receipt of the Step 2 response. An employee may elect to either pursue an
appeal to the Civil Service Commission or continue with the contractual grievance
procedure, but not both. If mutually agreed, time limits will be extended to complete a
reasonable investigation before the election of remedies is made.

decision which required the commission of an act prohibited by law.
Time Limits.
Time limits provided in this procedure may be extended by mutual agreement signed by
