PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD
MINUTES -- WORK SESSION
JANUARY 25, 1977 -- 11:30 a.m.
BOARD MEMBERS: Sarah Bennett, President
Wilson Wilmarth, Vice-president
Frank Johnson, Jr., Secretary
Robert Burns
Joan Deines
PRESENT: BOARD -- Sarah Bennett, Wilson Wilmarth, Robert Burns, Frank
Johnson, Jr., Joan Deines; LIBRARY STAFF -- Larry Webber,
Jane Davis.
The board discussed at length the City of Fort Collins - Larimer County
Library Agreement and recommended by consensus that the City Council
accept the agreement as amended because the board felt that the agreement
did -provide a 37% increase in funding over the previous year. However,
they felt that the whole City/County library relationship should be ex-
amined in May before the County Library Board makes their budget requests
from the Latimer County Commissioners. The board felt that since
approximately one-fourth of the users of the Fort Collins Public Library
live outside the Fort Collins city limits there is some justification
for asking that county funds should make up one-fourth of the work
budget.
During discussion of the charter amendment the board agreed by consensus
to support the Fort Collins City Charter change relating to the Library
Board as of the copy submitted January 25, 1977.
The board will meet for a work session Thursday, February 17, at noon.
The meeting was then adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Jane Davis, Secretary Pro-tem
