Lake Forest Library Board of Trustees
Tuesday, April 10, 2007
MINUTES
Present: President Duncan; Trustees Bacon, Barnett, Miserendino, Pierson, Plandowski, Thornburgh, and Young; Administrative Librarian Grabbe; and Administrative Assistant Grasmick.
Absent: Trustee Garrett.
President Duncan called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m.
There were no changes or corrections to the minutes of the March 13 meeting. The minutes were approved as mailed.
Administrative Librarian's Report:
Maintenance: The City is looking into digital video security systems. The library will be able to view demos and presentations with the City, but the library will purchase its system independently.
Miscellaneous: Web site statistics were distributed. A live demo will be presented at the next board meeting.
The Per Capita Grant in the amount of $24,542.19 has been received.
The Fiscal YTD reflects funded items from the Friends—particularly in capital expenditures.
Results of the City survey were distributed. The full report is available. Please contact Mrs. Grabbe if you would like a copy.
The Statements of Economic Interests have been mailed. Trustees need to complete and return the statements.
Committee Reports:
Services: No report.
Long Range Planning: No report.
Finance: No report.
NSLS: Trustees Plandowski and Thornburgh will attend the More on Parliamentary Procedures class on May 14, 2007.
Friends: The Annual Program will be held on Wednesday, April 25th at 4:00 p.m. in the auditorium at Gorton Community Center. Barbara Rinella will be performing a dramatization of I Feel Bad About my Neck by Nora Ephron.
Trustee Barnett asked how the Friends reimbursements are reflected in the budget—revenue versus expenditure. Mrs. Grabbe stated that the City will not allow funds to appear as revenue. We spend the funds and the Friends reimburse.
Old Business: HB 1727 is of great concern. It would create the Internet Screening in Public Libraries Act which mandates filtering, but provides no funding.
New Business: The 2007/2008 list of Board meeting dates was distributed. Trustee Young moved to approve the meeting dates as listed. Trustee Thornburgh seconded. Motion carried.

Following the Executive Session, President Duncan called the meeting to order at 8:20 p.m.
