Approval of Agenda Ms. Bristol moved to approve the agenda as presented. Mr. Montgomery seconded. A voice vote was unanimous and the motion passed. Approval of the Minutes 1. Dr. Armstrong corrected the minutes of the September 24, 2015 board meeting, concerning Mrs. Walker’s visit to the library on September 18, then moved for approval of the minutes pending that correction. Mr. Montgomery seconded. A voice vote was unanimous and the motion passed. Non-Action Items 2. Director’s Report In Ms. Long’s absence, Ms. Davis distributed a list of the current board members and asked for any corrections. She then explained the recent implementation by the City of the Level 1 contingency budget plan, which calls for the postponement of non-critical purchasing and delay of hiring some positions. This directive (not a budget cut) went into effect because revenues have been under anticipated levels for four months. Income will be monitored and further actions could be taken if the current trends continue. 3.
