a policy for the library employees on jury duty. There was quite
some discussion and no resolve so Bev will check with the city
to see what their policy is and possibly settle the discussion.
Personnel policy - There seems to be a diference between what the
personeel policies read and what is actualy being done at city hall.
Beverly will check to see if the bookkeeper can follow the libraries
policy.
We need a policy on part time workers paid holidays, do we pay an
employee for hours that would normaly be work if it was not a
holiday?

if a painting was offered as a gift that Beverly could bring it
