PRESENT: LIBRARY BOARD -- Virginia Ward, Catherine Fine, Jerry Roselle,

The meeting was called to order by the Vice -chairperson, Catherine Fine.
The minutes of the December meeting were approved as distributed. There
was no correspondence.
Robert Holzfaster, Administrative Aide, distributed an interim year end
statistical report for 1989. Final report will be distributed in February.
Jane Davis, Library Director, reported that new library positions funded
for 1990 will be advertised in January and filled in February. Positions
will be added in Children's Services, Reference Services, Circulation,
Media Services and Technical Services.
Ms. Davis also reported that the brochures for the Friends of the Library
Gift -a -Book are being printed and should be available in February.
Ms. Davis reported that Larimer County Department of Human Development
staff is preparing the contract for library services for out of City
residents. Fort Collins will receive a $91,623 payment for providing the
service plus a $10,180 grant for outreach services. Payment from Larimer
County is now based on the number of out of city residents each library
serves. Though Fort Collins Public Library has more total registered
borrowers fewer of them live outside the city limits so this year the
county funding is $9,161 less than in 1989. Two factors influencing this
are City of Fort Collins annexations and the enhanced level of library
service now provided by Loveland, Red Feather Lakes and Wellington public
libraries.
Jane Davis reported that Assistant City Attorney Mary Crumbaker-Smith had
advised her that City Attorney staff is looking at the Library Fund concept
and the contract document developed by the Fort Collins Foundation. They
will have a report for the Board at the February meeting. Ad hoc committee
reports dealing with the fund were tabled to the February meeting.
Boardmembers finalized their annual report to City Council and asked Ms.
Davis to send it to the City Clerk.
The group discussed goals of and format for their upcoming meeting with key
library staff. Jane Davis and Jerry Roselle will meet with Suzanne
Jarboe -Simpson from the Employee Development Department of the City. fls.
Jarboe -Simpson often serves as a facilitator for group interaction and
might be available to work with Board and staff.
The meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Jane B. Davis
