Pennsylvania Avenue Board President: Magil Duran Board Members: Judy Armstrong, Patti Bristol, Michelle Hembree, Linda Madrid, Lewie Montgomery, and Alyssa Rogers Staff Coordinator: Matthew Gormley Call to Order The regular meeting of the Roswell Public Library Board was called to order at 4:00pm by President Magil Duran. Roll Call Members present: Magil Duran, Judy Armstrong, Lewie Montgomery, Linda Madrid, Michelle Hembree, and Alyssa Rogers. Absent: Patti Bristol. Staff present: Matthew Gormley, Interim Library Director; and Kay Carrasco, Recording Secretary. Approval of Agenda Mr. Duran called for approval of the agenda. Dr. Armstrong moved to approve; Mr. Montgomery seconded, and the motion passed by unanimous voice vote. Approval of the Minutes Mr. Montgomery moved that the minutes be accepted as presented; Ms. Hembree seconded, and the motion passed by voice vote. Non-Action Items Interim Director’s Report: In addition to his written report, Mr. Gormley reported that the position of Library Director is still not filled. One candidate was interviewed by Skype earlier this month and another will be interviewed the day after this meeting. No further information or timeline has yet been announced. On the 2018 budget, the City Council has approved a timeline and due dates for various portions of the process; at this time they are working on major capital items and developing the priorities for those. (Library: Re-point exterior stone work; re-seal all windows [there are leaks]; and eventually the entire building needs to be recarpeted.) There has not as yet been any instructions to reduce the Library’s total budget from 2017 levels, so we are preparing a budget as close to zero increase as possible, though there is some shifting as we discover lines which this year are running over or under estimated expenditures. Regular Items (Action Items) There were no action items. Other Business (Non-Action) There were no public comments, and no further business brought before the board. Ms. Carrasco handed out the updated Library Board Manuals to those members who had not yet picked them up. Adjournment Mr. Montgomery moved that the meeting be adjourned. Ms. Bristol seconded. The motion passed by unanimous voice vote and the meeting adjourned at 4:10pm. Next Meeting: February 23, 2017 ____________________________ Magil Duran, President
