LIBRARIAN'S REPORT
The Librarian's report was read and accepted.
MONTHLY FINANCIAL STATEMENT
The financial statement was approved and placed on file.
OLD BUSINESS
Safe. Our insurance carrier has been unable to obtain information on the Montgomery-Ward safe.
He will know about this in a few more days.
Capital Budget. After a general discussion, which will be contained in a letter to be mailed to
the Library Board, there will be a special meeting of the Capital Budget committee on Tuesday
at 8 A.M., May 2nd, on the 1961-62 budget.
The tentative budget as submitted by the Librarian was studied and discussed at length. On a
motion by Trustee Edwards, seconded by Pres. Cohendet, it was moved that the tentative budget,
as submitted by the Librarian, would be approved as presented; all unbudgeted amounts collected
from the suggested tax rate be placed in the Library Reserve Fund; and, that the Librarian be
instructed to make such a request in his letter of transmittal.
NEW BUSINESS
Pres. Cohendet stated that a letter of thanks be sent to the Mills High School Art. Dept. for
their posters used by the library during National Library Week.
Social Security versus State Employment Retirement. It was decided rather than become involved in
the social security setup, it would be better in certain cases for the part-time employees to
qualify for the State Employment Retirement. This would not necessarily mean that after a period
of qualification they would work more than one-half time. During the discussion it was brought
out that certain jobs might be combined into full-time positions. It would be advisable to do
this as soon as it is made possible by either retirement of present part-time employees, in order
not to work any hardship on individuals, or the reorganization of the processing and cataloging
division, made possible by the use of the processing facilities of the County Library if such
appears feasible.
ADJOURNMENT
On a motion by Trustee Edwards, seconded by Trustee Moody, the meeting adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,/
Geor Paul Lechich
Clerk of the Board
