Business

Wage increase date: A revised Sheet 14 with 5% hourly raises were discussed. It would be about a $3,400 increase overall. Julie Flores is taking summer off. Suanne expressed concern about any changes to wages until she met with Board Personnel committee.

Computer time limits: It was decided that the current policy of a one hour time limit would remain in effect. Additional time can be requested if needed by patron.

Policy for Public Comment: Wierenga will draw-up a policy allowing for public to comment during “Public comment” time only and only for 5 minutes. If board wishes to have further communication with public during meeting it may request the discussion at its discretion.

Ebay Policy: Huizinga will discuss Ebay activity with Shelly and report his findings to the board at the July meeting.

Digital Media: Wierenga will write a policy for digital media (e-readers, ipods, ipads). Basic concern is that staff doesn’t actually physically set-up the devices but rather informs the patron of where they may get the instructions to use their digital devices.

Adjournment: Moore moved to adjourn and Otto seconded: all approved; meeting adjourned at 7:53pm

Next regular meeting: July 8, 2013 at 6:30pm at the library.
