We have been down 2.75 FTE positions in the Reference Department since Dan Alvarez retired in June of 2010. Prior to that we were down Linda Santo's FT position when she moved into the Reference manager position and Mary Beth James-Thibodeaux's .75 position when she retired in December of 2009. We have been using hourly staff to fill in to cover for these vacant positions. Many of the hourly staff are working over the max of 18 hours a week and at this rate will run out of hours by April or May. We were budgeted for this position in the FY 2010/11 budget and are under spent in the FT& PPT budget—37% spent vs 42%target ds of November 30, 2010. The position closed January 3, 2011 and the interview panel is scheduled for January 20, 2011. We are hoping to have someone in the position by the middle of February.

Barry Mills, Linda Santo, Kathy von Mayrhauser, and Amy Gettle. Wayne and Andrea did a presentation on recent trends in libraries such as technology labs, wayfinding, self-service and discussed the design schedule.

We will be visiting 4 libraries around the Bay Area and we are considering are January 21 and January 28 as possible dates. We would love to have Foundation members join us. Easton Update We have received donations of over$75,000 towards maintaining services at the Easton Library.

We wanted to have the lunch since we weren't celebrating the holidays as a group this year. We had the lunch from 12-2 in the Conference Room and ordered the main course and salad from Alanas. The staff brought desserts to share. The cost for the lunch was $300. In the past we have used the Staff Recognition account from the Revolving Account Funds for smaller events such as the All Staff meeting. We currently have $399 in this account. I would like to request the Board's permission to pay for part of the lunch from this account.
