Library staff is currently trying out one of the new data collection units and will be working with the City's computer people to get the chosen equipment ordered and installed. Christine Kneeland reported on her meeting with the Board's new Council liaison, Gerry Horak. Councilman Horak suggested that Library Boardmembers keep Council informed in an informal manner concerning Library Board goals, activities and issues. He also suggested that Library Boardmembers inform themselves about the City's budget process and format so that the two groups, Board and Council, can communicate more easily about library budget matters when and if that is desirable. Ms. Kneeland will contact the City's Finance Director, Alan Krcmarik, and ask him to speak to the Board about the budget process at the July meeting. Ms. Kneeland also reported that she had written to Doris Greenacre, outgoing Historical Society President, expressing the Board's pleasure that a way of honoring Charlene Tresner, former Library Technician/Local History, had been identified and agreed upon by both groups. She also wrote a note to Sally Robinson, Adult Literacy Coordinator, congratulating her on the Colorado Library Association - Colorado State Library recognition of her program. Under Old Business the group reviewed the work of the subcommittee working on board goals. At this point in the process, the group has identified four major goals and is working on fleshing each one out in terms of objectives and activities to which time frames can be attached. The members present discussed the committee's work. The subcommittee will meet again on June 11 at 4:00 p.m. to work on action plans and time frames for the various activities.
