The meeting was called to order by Anne Ostrye-Macdonald, Chair, at 7:07. The minutes of
the previous meeting were approved as distributed. Ann Azari, Mayor of the City of Fort
Collins and Council Liaison to the Library Board, introduced herself to the group.
She explained that she would attend each meeting unless she was out of town. She would come
at 7:00 p.m. and be available to the Board at the beginning of each meeting but would probably
not be able to stay for the entire time. Board members ask her to outline her, and the Council's
expectations of advisory boards. Ms. Azari made the following points in response:
• Boards focus on a specific area of city service
• They help Council develop policy dealing with that service
• They communicate to and receive communication from Council dealing with that
service
• They, to some extent, are chosen to represent the community but are also selected
for their own abilities and insights
• Council needs to be given options within the framework of the action a board
supports
Board members thanked Ms. Azari for that clarification of their role.
M In response to a letter fit the Mayor asking for input on the A budget, the Board asked the
Chair to write to Ms. Azari requesting funding for a southside branch library.

Jane Davis reported that new system installation was proceeding. Acquisitions module and dial -
up access will be activated in the next phase with bar coding and new library cards late summer.
