The meeting was called to order by the Chairperson, Catherine Fine. The
minutes of the May meeting were approved as distributed.
Boardmembers had agreed in May to limit business at the June meeting to two
items, the Henry trust and new member orientation.
Discussion of the Henry trust fund, now held in the Fort Collins
Foundation, centered around the fact that the Library Board does not see
itself as a fundraising group though the Henry trust was left to the
library through the Library Board. There was consensus that the trust be
used for the good of the library over the long term. No decision was made.
Members of the group will obtain more information on endowments, how they
are governed and how spending decisions are made. Jane Davis, Library
Director, will contact the American Library Association for information.
Virginia Ward suggested the CSU Foundation as a possible source of
information. This discussion will continue in September or when
information gathering is complete.
Members looked over the orientation outline and assigned the topics to be
covered. Ms. Davis will be responsible for pulling together information
notebooks for the new members. Boardmembers asked Ms. Fine to write to the
unsuccessful candidates telling them of other opportunities available for
them to serve the library.
Greg Auble suggested Ms. Fine write to the Mayor and Council thanking them
for their response at the April 14 worksession.
The meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Jane B. Davis
