Dated this 4th day of October, 2016 Steve Peterson Mayor 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!

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; (d) Exposure to a contagious disease where on-the-job presence of the employee would jeopardize the health of others; or the use of over-the- counter medication. (e) Use of a prescription drug that impairs job performance or safety; (f) Additional leave beyond bereavement leave for a death in the immediate family may be authorized by the Mayor or his/her designee; (g) Workers compensation leave as set forth below. d. A deduction of the number of sick leave hours equivalent to the length of the shift shall be made for each full day's absence due to the above reasons: Should an eligible employee use less than ONE (1) FULL shift of sick leave, such sick leave 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 + Level: 1 + Numbering Style: a, b, c, … + Start under the terms and conditions set forth in City Policy 8.3 or any successor at: 4 + Alignment: Left + Aligned at: 0.25" + policy. Indent at: 0.5" 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. e. l. Military Leave: Any member of the United States armed services Formatted: No bullets or numbering reserve/national guard shall receive 21 paid days off annually as required by sate law.

Social Security Replacement: In lieu of contributions to the Federal Social Security Program, the City of Liberty Lake has authorized a 401(a) pension plan administered by the ICMA Retirement Corporation. The City will contribute 5.25% of gross wages for regular, full-time employees. Employees may contribute to the plan up to a maximum of 11% of gross wages. All full-time regular uniformed employees in the police department are covered by the Law Enforcement Officer’s Retirement System (LEOFF). LEOFF benefit levels and contribution rates are set by the State of Washington. The City of Liberty Lake contributes to the 457 Deferred Plan the difference between the LEOFF and the City’s retirement contribution for all regular uniformed employees under the LEOFF plan. All regular full-time and eligible part-time non-uniformed employees are covered under the ICMA 401(a) pension plan. All regular full-time, part-time and uniformed employees can voluntarily contribute to a 457 Deferred Compensation Plan administered by ICMA Corporation. The City of Liberty Lake does not match any contributions to this plan. c. Disability Benefits: All employees, other than police and fire employees in the LEOFF 1 system, are covered by the state Workers’ Compensation Program. The City will continue to provide long term disability insurance for all full-time employees for the off-the-job injury or illness.

In addition, the employer shall pay on behalf of any employee in the bargaining unit any sum, including reasonable legal expenses, which the employee shall be legally obligated to pay as a result of reasonable and lawful activities and exercise of authority within the scope of assigned duties and responsibilities as a City of Liberty Lake Police Officer, and which are necessary in order for such officers to be represented. ARTICLE 20 – Off-Duty Employment The Employer may authorize an employee to perform other employment during off-duty hours provided such employment does not: interfere with the efficiency of law enforcement and public safety; interfere with the employee’s performance of duty; detract from the image of the Employer, conflict with the Employer’s policies. Outside employment must be authorized by the Chief of Police in writing.

Step 3. If the grievance has not been resolved or the parties cannot reach an agreement, the grievant may, within fifteen calendar days from the date upon which the Mayor’s 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 and grievable under the terms of this agreement, a written election of remedies shall be 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. Step 4. If no satisfactory settlement is reached at Step 2 and/or the grievant has elected to pursue the grievance through the contractual process under Step 3, the Union may within fifteen calendar days of the receipt of the Step 2 decision, appeal the final decision of the employer to arbitration. In the event an arbiter is not mutually agreed upon by both parties, the parties shall jointly request the Public Employment Relations Commission to submit a list of nine arbiters. Each party shall alternately strike until one name remains. Any grievance arising out of or relating to the interpretation or application of the terms and/or provisions of this agreement may be submitted to arbitration unless specifically and expressly excluded. The arbitrator’s decision will be in writing and will set forth his/her finding of fact, reasoning, and conclusions on the issues submitted to him/her. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. 4810-4157-6982.1 17 The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by the parties.

Time limits provided in this procedure may be extended by mutual agreement signed by the parties. Failure of the grievant or the Union to file and/or appeal the grievance within the above stated time limits shall cause the grievance to be void except in circumstances beyond the control of the grievant.
