Mrs. Coffin presided at a combined meeting of the city and county library
boards.
Larimer County has allocated $35,000 for operation of the county library
during 1967. Bookmobile operation will account for $13,500. The remaining
$21,500 will be divided between cities in the county as follows: Fort
Collins, fifty percent; Loveland, 30 percent; Estes Park, 12 percent; and
Berthoud, 8 percent.
The merger between City and County libraries will go into effect
January 1, 1967 on a six month trial basis. Funds allocated for the cities
for this period are Fort Collins, $5,375; Loveland, $3,225; Estes Park,
$1,290; and Berthoud, $860. Mrs. Staley reported that the County Board
had decided that the annual budget would be paid to the cities and bookmobile
in quarterly installments.
Following discussion of which fund should be charged for mileage of the
librarian on Bookmobile business and mileage of County board members to
meetings, it was decided that the County board should set up an annual
contingency fund of $500. Any excess in the fund at the end of the year
would be prorated to the cities. I
Mr. Webber reported his intention to apply for Title III funds to be used
in converting a room into a periodical center. The application is not
binding.
Current travel expenses of Mr. Webber for bookmobile business will be paid
from the contingency hind in the interim budget.
Mrs. Bennett suggested that someconfusion in deliberations could be avoided
by referring to the City Library by name and the County library by the
term, Bookmobile, since in effect the only County Library is the Bookmobile.
The meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Sarah L. Bennett, Secretary
