1. Presentation by Dan Hoins, City Administrator and Karla Rupiper, City Attorney
regarding a proposed city ordinance that will address the impact of LB 470 and clarify
the current city code: City Administrator Hoins and City Attorney Rupiper presented the
Board with a proposed draft of a city ordinance changing the Board of Trustees from a
governing board to an advisory board. This draft ordinance came about due to the
passage in July, 2012 of LB 4 70, inconsistencies in current city code and the desire of the
city council to have administrative control of the library and library policies, in particular,
staff and budget. After review, questions of clarification from the board and significant
discussion including the library board, City Administrator, City Attorney, Councilman
Tom Mumgaard and Director Clark followed. City Administrator Hoins said that a draft
ordinance would be introduced to the City Council on January 6. A public hearing would
follow on January 20, and a final vote would occur on February 3. Once approved, the
ordinance would be effective fifteen days after passage, which would be February 18.
Director Clark requested more time for the board to review the ordinance and consider
the impact to the library before introduction. City Administrator Hoins agreed to take a
request to city council to delay the introduction of the draft ordinance to February 3.
2. Review library confidentiality and library security camera policy: According to the City
Attorney, Karla Rupiper, no changes were needed to the library Confidentiality of
Records Policy at this time. After discussion and input regarding intent and wording from
the City Administrator and City Attorney, a motion was made by McCalman to modify
the Security Cameras Policy (Procedures 4-5) to reflect the following: "Access to the
archived footage in pursuit of documented incidents of criminal activity or violation of
the libraries code of conduct shall be provided to law enforcement and designated library
staff without subpoena or court order upon written request of a law enforcement agency
with jurisdiction." Second: Montgomery. Roll vote: Kryger: yes, McCalman: yes,
