BILLS On a motion by Trustee DeMartini, seconded by Trustee Hechinger, bills in the amount of $49287.11 were ordered paid. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT The Librarian's Report was read and approved. MONTHLY FINANCIAL STATEMENT The monthly financial statement was read and placed on file. OLD BUSINESS Possible Library System - Composed of Municipalities but not the County. The Librarian outlined briefly a meeting between the head librarians and city managers to discuss the possibility of a new system of cooperative municipal libraries. The Librarian explained some of the possibilities of the system and questioned its advantages for our library, in that parts of the Spangle Report were incorporated in the plan of service, which would tend to downgrade our library and no funds were provided for renumeration for non-resident borrowers. He stated, after some discussion, the proposal was submitted to the city managers for their discussion at their regular monthly meeting. A meeting was called at Redwood City by the county managers to discuss with the city managers and librarians the possibility of the city - county system. After considerable discussion this was referred to the head librarians for a meeting on February 18th to try and determine what would be the out- standing difficulties in the implementation of such a system. Balance - A Proposed Computerized Library Cooperative. The Librarian stated that he had attended the two most recent meetings in regard to the implementation of a possible system of libraries, using computers for many phases of their activities. He stated that he had accepted the proposal in general but felt that the costs would in all probability would be too great for our library to participate. Mr. Hechinger, who had attended these meetings, stated that he felt that some system of computerization would be used and that we should go along with the study until it is determined that benefits derived would or would not be worth the cost. He stated that he was willing to attend the next meeting which is on the 28th of February in Millbrae. Copying Machine. The Librarian stated the Dennison copying machine, which had been discussed in previous meetings, had by some misunderstanding between the Librarian and the Company as to its purchase, been delivered. The Librarian stated that this would be the only coin machine in this area of this make owned by a library, as the new contract with Foreman's prohibited the company from selling them directly to libraries. He stated that he felt that the machine would pay for itself in a year and a half, and that whatever deficit was accrued in the purchase agreement would be made up from special gift funds - money to be returned to this fund from receipts from the machine after it is paid for. On a motion by Trustee Moody, seconded by Trustee DeMartini, it was moved that we accept the order and have the machine installed. Motion was carried unanimously. Tapestry. The Librarian read the letter from the Deputy County Clerk, Santa Barbara, in which he stated that he had read the microfilm of the Billings' Estate for over an hour without finding any mention of a tapestry. The Deputy Clerk suggested that as the estate was so extensive it would be well for someone to come down and read all the films and the supplements; the Board agreed that the Librarian should go as soon as possible. NEW BUSINESS The Librarian stated that the City Manager has submitted the forms for the budget 1966 - 1967 and he would submit them at the next meeting.
