Video Adjustment - It was recommended that the Library reduce the video fines from $1.00 per day to $ .20 a day which is the same rate as the book and audio tape fines. Videos are presently less expensive to purchase than books and this fee seems to be more in line with what other libraries are charging. M/S/C (Dunbar/Berger) C. Debt Collect - Members of PLS have selected "Debt Collect", a product of Unique Management, as a viable library software program to help increase their ability to retrieve long overdue materials. An agreement has been reached to conduct a 90 day experiment. Pending a legal opinion from County Counsel and the attorney for PLS, the City Attorney and City Finance Director will decide if the library should participate in the program. X. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 5:30pm by President Mary Lou Morton. The next meeting will be held April 18, 2000 at 4:30pm. Respectfully Submitted �. Alfred H.
