President
Kathy called the meeting to order. Jerry
moved to approve the November 13 minutes.
Anne seconded the motion. The
motion carried.
Mary
reported that story time will resume February 12 and LEAP will resume February
6. She asked that her 22 hours per week
be flexible so that she could use more hours during her busy summer reading
program time.
Anne moved
to change the wording on Mary’s hours to: the children’s librarian will work no
more than 1144 hours per year. Lynne
seconded the motion. The motion carried.
Nancy
reported that the yearly reports are nearly completed. The CKLS reports are complete. She passed out
a copy of the annual Report for the city.
Terry suggested that Game Night could be included and Nancy will do
that. She presented the Budget for 2015,
noting that the biggest change was to increase the DVD/Game allowance to $1400.
The Beach grant will again be used to purchase children’s books. She also asked if we wanted to change the
meeting night to Tuesday to avoid some conflicts.
UNFINISHED
BUSINESS
Terry reported
on the Limestone Repair project. On
December 8, 2014, Terry asked the Lincoln City Council for the amount of
$1395.00 as the necessary balance to proceed with the stone repair project. The Council approved a total of $2395.00 (adding
$1395.00 to the $1000.00 that had already been committed by the City.) The
project is now fully funded. Jared Spear
was attending the meeting and later offered $650 cash from Post Rock Motel and
S&S Auto Body.
As a result,
Terry will go to the January City Council meeting and tell them that the
library only needs $745.00 rather than the $1395.00.
The
Limestone Repair Project is funded as follows:
Friends of
the Library $2,900.00
City of
Lincoln Center $1,745.00
WEB
Fund $1,375.00
Dane Hansen
Foundation $1,000.00
S&S Auto
Body & $ 650.00
Post Rock
Motel __________
Total of
Project
$7,670.00
Terry will
speak with rock man Keith Naegele and set up a time to begin next spring. A big thanks goes to Terry for completing the
funding of this project.
NEW BUSINESS
Jerry moved
to approve the bills that were paid in December (we had no quorum) and the
bills that are due today. Terry seconded
the motion. The motion carried.
Nancy
presented additions to the Policy Handbook that CKLS is requiring concerning
Budget, Finance, and Capital Improvement Fund.
Regarding to Section 3 Purchase Authorization of the Finance page,
Patrisha moved to limit the dollar amount of $500 that can be spent without
board approval. Anne seconded the motion.
The motion carried.
A beautiful
picture of Jane Crawford was given to the library by Stan and Connie Crawford
and will be hung in appreciation of the generous donation she made for the new
addition. Lynne will write a thank you.
Lynne moved
to change the meeting day to the second Tuesday of the month. Anne seconded the motion. The motion carried.
Nancy
presented the proposed 2015 Budget. After discussion, Jerry moved to accept the
2015 budget as presented. Patrisha
seconded the motion. The motion
carried. Nancy is unable to view our bank
statements online (only the president and secretary have signed bank
cards). Kathy will check into correcting
this with the banks.
Jerry moved
to adjourn the meeting. Lynne seconded
the motion. The meeting is adjourned and
the next meeting will be Tuesday, February 10, 2015.
Respectfully
submitted,
Lynne Metz,
