Subject: Library Minutes March
Port Townsend Library Advisory Board
March 20, 2008 9:00 A. M. Pink House
Members present: Wes Eng, Bill Maxwell, Eileen Price, Kate Schumann,
Excused absence: Caitlin Harrison, Benjamin Dow
Staff present: Theresa Percy
Minutes of last meeting: Approved as sent.
Communications:
Bill reminded us that the get - together with the County Library Board
will be at Rosewind, from 4 to 5 on March 6th.
Director's Report:
Theresa told us about the meeting she and Bill had had with Dave
Timmons and his proposal to remove the Library from the General Fund.
This would mean that $300,000 would go to the Parks and $500,000
would remain in the General Fund as "banked capacity" which can be
drawn upon as needed. A special new tax for the Library spanning 6
years would ensure a level of funding without competing with other
services. Theresa will keep us apprised of the financial plans as
they develop.
Theresa briefly mentioned some of the activities for the upcoming
Community Read and said that Linnea Patrick has been an excellent
editor for the printed material and a fine coordinator for the
program in general. She was also impressed by Carol Cahill's Eat
Healthy Report, a copy of which will be emailed soon to Board members.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 10:20.
Next meeting �, 2008
