Rachel reported that staff will not receive raises and that there will be furlough days. There are various
ways to do furlough days. The City Manager's office is still reviewing this. The fiscal year is October 1
through September 30. Budget meetings begin in June and go throughout the summer. Health insurance
is likely to go up because the contract is up for renewal.
The goal in the budget for FY 11 is to get the staff needed to keep the library open 46 hours. The
following staff in the budget: Young Adult Librarian, Adult Reference Assistant, Library Technician
(Full-time), Five, 20 hour part-time Reference Assistants, Two, 20 hour part-time clerks (shelvers)
and a full-time Administrative Assistant. All clerical work is done by the Library Director, Technical
Librarian, and a Library Technician.
It was decided that everybody would contribute what they could to the library leaf for Frances
Anderhub.
Summer Reading Club starts June 1. The library is not having a Summer Reading Club Kick-off
because of budget cuts. On July 16, the library is having a Mystery Night for the Adult Reading Club.
