Roll Call Walt Munhall, Peggy Ober, Dick Bendixsen, Susan Mueller, Jane Miller, Madalyn Utz, Dorene Thomas. Guests -- City Administrator Bob Jean and Ralph Appleman. Minutes Minutes of the January meeting were approved. Monthly Report Librarian reviewed the report for January, pointing out that the reduced open hours (from 48 to 40) was providing relief to the staff with the extra work time and a slight decrease in circulation. The library's LSCA grant request for large print materials and a desk magnifier will be combined in a state-wide grant request for large print materials. If the grant is approved the funds will provide for a full-time librarian and clerk to administer the program from the Multnomah County Library. $25,000 will be spent for large print materials which will rotate throughout the State, providing access to a much larger number of books as com- pared to a locally administered grant. Tigard Library will also receive the table magnifier. This program will be proposed for at least three years. Budget 1984-85 City Administrator Bob Jean reviewed the current budget process for FY 1984-85. He reviewed service levels, current and requested, and discussed service cutbacks if there is no new tax base approved in May. He traced trends in workloads and manpower. There was discussion regarding various impacts on the library in the face of possibly no Washington County Cooperative Library Services (WCCLS) funding or new city tax base, i.e. , the library staff would be cut 50%, hours 50% and there would be about $3000 for books. Jean pointed out the need for a new tax base to help solve the City's financial problems. Munhall urged Board members to attend the budget meeting on February 15. Space Needs Dick Bendixsen reviewed his report which he planned to deliver to the City Council later this same evening regarding space needs. There was discussion concerning the various sites under consideration, postponement of the vote until May and placement of two issues on the ballot. By concensus members decided to strongly recommend a March vote and only one issue on the ballot. Architect Ralph Appleman explained features of the Sturgis site, presenting drawings of a possible building and various con- struction techniques which could be used on the site.
