May 10, 2016 Library Board Meeting Minutes

MEMBERS PRESENT:  Kathy Moss, Karen Jeffers, Patrisha Street, Sunnie McBride, Lynne Metz, Sharon Luck
LIBRARY STAFF:  Nancy Jensen, Mary Andersen

Kathy opened the meeting, introducing Sharon Luck as our new board member.  Karen moved to approve the April 12 minutes.  Patrisha seconded the motion.  The minutes are approved.
Mary reported that Story Time will close this week with Jeff and Kaye Metzler giving the program.  It will resume in July.  She prepared fliers for the elementary students to take home following the Dan the Man Magician program the last day of school.  The blog has all the summer information on it for children and adults.  The information is also on Live Lincoln website.  The Teen board met and 13 students volunteered to help with the summer programs.  They would like to have an outdoor movie at the library June 10 or 11, starting at sunset and be open to any teen.  The Friends group is taking care of the alumni week-end activities.  She plans for the LEAP students to do some community service when they come to the library.
Nancy reported that she will be attending CKLS’s spring workshop this week.  She has the new updates ready for the Trustee Notebooks.  World Pest Control came May 3 for our annual treatment.  CKLS delivered the new laptop.  She put locks on the outside water hydrants since someone had turned the water on and left it running.  Mindy and Terry each have a key.  The Memorial album is complete and is by the south window.  The toilet has been plugged up again.  It was advertised that there would be tours of the library on the Alumni weekend.  FLCL doesn’t know anything about this and will only be passing out bookmarks and information that Mary has provided.  The Teen and Adult summer Library Program will start on May 23 and end on July 16.  The teen theme is Get in the Game and the adult theme is Exercise Your Mind. Nancy did some further research into the internet and phone contract.  The best way to go seems to be to keep the internet with AT&T and switch to Nex-Tech on the phone.  CKLS mandates that we must have an annual resolution to pay certain bills every month without prior board approval. Most of these bills are payed with automatic withdrawals from the bank account and are due before our monthly meeting.
Lynne moved to continue our internet contract with AT&T and change to Nex-Tech for the phone service.  Karen seconded the motion.  The motion carried.
Lynne moved to approve the bills for this month.  Patrisha seconded the motion.  The motion carried.  Election of officers was discussed and the present officers agreed to serve another year.  The following officers are:  Kathy Moss, President, Karen Jeffers, Vice President, Lynne Metz, Secretary, and Patrisha Street, Treasurer. Lynne moved to elect the slate of officers as presented.  Karen seconded the motion.  The officers for the 2016-2017 term are selected.
Discussion was held concerning the Teens movie night.  Sunnie offered to help Mary again and the consensus was to hold the movie outside at the library, notifying the neighbors in advance.
The library will be open as usual on the Alumni week-end, and all are welcome to come see the library on a self-guided tour. 
Sunnie moved to pay the following bills by their due date when that date falls before the monthly regular board meeting:  Kansas Gas Service, AT&T, Nex-Tech, amazon, Janet Suelter, Federal and State Governments for payroll taxes, KPERs, Employee payroll, emergency expenses.  Patrisha seconded the motion.  The motion passed.
Sunnie moved to adjourn the meeting.  Patrisha seconded the motion.  The next meeting will be on June 14, 2016.

Respectfully submitted,

Lynne Metz, Secretary
