TRUSTEE BOARD MEETING

Minutes - Special Meeting

January 2, 2008

The special meeting of the Board of Trustees was called to order at 1:10pm by Blaine Robertson. Board members present were Gordon Timothy, Pam Beard, Blaine Robertson, Tricia Galer, and Judy Dewey, secretary.

The purpose of the special meeting was to discuss the new library and options the board has for proceeding.

From the discussion, it was determined the following are areas of concern: architects, parking, acquisition of the Beehive facility, and how to proceed with the bond process.

After much consideration by the board members, Gordon moved to hire Cooper Roberts Simonsen (CRS), architects, as consultants, to assist the board with an addition to this building. Pam seconded the motion. The voting was unanimous in the affirmative.

A letter was drafted to CRS requesting a proposal from them to act as consultants, asking them to please reply by Tuesday, the 15th of January, the date of the next regularly scheduled board meeting.

The question was asked: do we want to move forward with the bond? Tricia made the motion to do so, Gordon seconded the motion, and it was unanimously passed.

A short discussion of prospective replacements for Roger Jackson was held. Two names were presented. Tricia will contact one and Judy the other, requesting them to send a letter if they are interested and attend meeting on the 15th.

The meeting was adjourned at 2:07 pm.

Blaine Robertson, Chair of the Board                 Judith M. Dewey, Secretary
