Reports Minutes of the November meeting were approved as written.
Monthly Report was presented orally by Librarian. Written
report will be distributed later.
Friends of the Library. Susan Mueller reported that the
letter to businesses had gone out as an insert to the
Chamber of Commerce monthly newsletter. Terri Frye has
nearly completed the list of specific contacts. Walt
Munhall offered to write a piece for the City of Tigard
newsletter inviting people to get library cards.
WCCLS: Librarian read letters sent by Mayor Lou Ann Thielke,
Contract Tualatin, to the Washington County Advisory Board (for
Automation WCCLS) and to Donna Selle, WCCLS coordinator, explaining
that mayors and managers had met and decided not to sign
new service contracts until the issue of operation, main-
tenance, and replacement costs for the automation system
be settled. They also recommended that no contract be
signed with an automation vendor until these issues are
settled. Board members discussed the operation and main-
tenance costs and the establishment of a replacement fund
for the automation system. They agreed that a $200,000
contingency fund earmarked to defray WCCLS county-wide
expenses from July 1, 1985--December 86 should be studied
as a possible defraying factor for operation and mainte-
nance costs and that the replacement costs should not be
considered until a new levy is constructed. If replacement
costs are placed in a new levy, this information should be
clearly stated in the ballot title.
Access '86 Librarian announced that the Multnomah County Library would
be participating in Access '86 with Clackamas and Washington
counties and the Fort Vancouver Regional Library system. City
Council will act on Tigard Library's request to participate on
December 16. No problems anticipated.
City Questionnaire The Board discussed information concerning the library that was
gathered in the recent city-wide questionnaire regarding services.
Reaction was favorable. It was noted that users were more sat-
isfied with the general book collection and reference resources;
that users would like to see a computer available for public use;
that users approved use of tax funds for a latch-key program for
children.
