Reports Minutes for January and February were approved as written.
Monthly Report for January was distributed and reviewed by
Librarian. February report was not ready for distribution,
but Librarian gave an oral report. Nik Parrish reported on
WCCLS the status of the WCCLS governance question. He reported to
Governance the Citizens Advisory Board (CAB) that Tigard is satisfied
with status quo, but if the Washington County Board of Com-
missioners wishes to change their role then we would want to
explore the Cooperative Model. (This would require legisla-
tive action in 1987 and require an additional one year levy.)
State Representative (District 9) Paul Phillips will talk to
CAB at their March 18 meeting. He also emphasized that any
solution must include city library concerns.
Friends of the Library: Susan Mueller reported that new officers
were elected at the March 3 meeting. They are: President, Terri
Frye; membership vice-presidnet, Yvonne Burgess; rummage sale
vice presidents, Helen Steyeart and Ray Coffeen; publicity vice
president, Jodi Slaybaugh; secretary, Beulah Shields; treasurer,
Susan Mueller. More donations are needed for the rummage sale,
April 11-13. Nik Parrish reported that he will be attending the
sessions for Trustees and Friends at Oregon Library Association
conference in April.
Embankment Peggy Ober requested that the Board discuss the steep embankment
Behind Library behind the new library building. Peggy expressed great concern
for the safety of persons walking and/or children playing in
that area, suggesting that cyclone fencing would be an appropriate
solution. The Board discussed pros and cons of a cyclone fence,
appropriate landscaping and a low brick wall. Walt Munhall
reported that City attorneys are studying the problem of liability.
No recommendation was made by the Board.
Automation Librarian announced that a uniform circulation policy has been
agreed upon by participating libraries. Nik Parrish reported
that WCCLS had received and were evaluating the proposals re-
ceived for the communication network. He mentioned that General
Telephone and Storer Cable (represented by Metropolitan Area
Communication Council-MACC) seemed to have the best proposals.
MACC particularly had interesting offer which included free
installation and complete buy-back if system proves unsatis-
factory. The proposals and evaluations will be presented to
the Ad hoc managers/librarians meeting on March 13 when a
recommendation will be made to the Citizens Advisory Board
(CAB) . It was noted that Sherwood will not be a participant
initially.
TIGARD LIBRARY BOARD MINUTES - March 10, 1986 - pag,
Regi'onal Library Nik Parrish and the Librarian reported on a meeting they
Meeting attended on March 5. Participants were from Multnomah,
Washington and Clackamas Counties and included elected
officials, county employees, library board members, friends
of libraries, a library consultant and librarians from
various size libraries. Both reported that this diverse
group with its diverse and sometimes opposing concerns had
a productive session and concluded that there were many
areas for cooperation and mutual support. A task force
was appointed to study projects for cooperation and report
to the larger group at a future meeting.
(NOTE: Peggy Ober and Nik Parrish left at 8:00 PM.)
Detection Librarian announced that she had investigated a third electro-
System magnetic book detection system, Kno Co, and is preparing a
request for estimates which will be sent to 3M Systems and
Kno Co. Librarian described architect John Weeks' proposal
to build the detection gate into the building so that it will
appear as part of the cabinetry. The Board approved the plan
by consensus.
Economic Walt Munhall presented a communication from the State Library
Information describing the formation of the Economic Information Network
Network (EIN) . All libraries are invited to participate and have
access to greater amounts of economic information with which
to serve local businesses and governmental agencies. The
State Library will continue to build its resources and all
participating libraries will share as well. The Board requested
that Librarian initiate action for Tigard to participate.
Librarian reported that beginning in March the Chamber of Commerce',
monthly newsletter will carry a review (by staff) of a particular
business resource in the library.
