Theresa was not able to attend the meeting, although she was very briefly present. She had to
work on an important issue and excused herself from the discussion.
Jim and I, rather than conducting a full meeting with no one else present,just talked about the
importance of good communication among stakeholders in the Library Expansion Project
(among City, Library, Advisory Board, Library patrons, and PT citizens. We talked about
collaboration and consensus building, and how compromise, negotiation and finding common
ground are important factors in building and completing successful programs. Jim stated the
need for more citizen forums and involvement in the decisions that get made.
We closed our discussion at 4:30 pm.
Next Meeting: July 16, 2013
