Bristol statistics with regards to looking at requesting more funding from them. Janelle working with Ron Kirsop on stats and hopefully by next month we can make a decision on doing this.
Programs/Meetings: We will revisit in June as we see how the guidelines are; this will coincide with revisiting our hours of business. There has been some discussion with Shanna Butler on the Holiday Weekend events at the school and in the Village. We also do the Bazaar at the School. Not really sure how much involvement we can have given our resources and working on the Bazaar. Butterfly garden (headed up by Emily) has received some offers of plants. Planting Date: June 5th.

Minutes for the Meeting of February 12^th, 2020

Present: Janet Dys, Mary Boite, Tim Rock, Robin Healy, Amy Sharp, Kerry Sherman.  Absent: Cynthia Langkmp, Janelle Speca (Director)

Meeting was called to order at 7pm.

Adoption of Agenda: Robyn moved, Amy seconded.  Motion was unanimously passed.

Approval of January 8^th Minutes: Robyn moved, Kerry seconded. Passed unanimously.

Period for public expression: Discussion re scheduling of outside groups using the library.  Janet clarified that the Board is supportive of Janelle’s decisions regarding those hours, and that we want to make sure that she is not having to exceed her paid hours while trying to accommodate the meetings.

Janelle reported more young adult/teen traffic – that section has been weeded and new books bought for those patrons.  They are also excited about the y/a programming with Katie.

Treasurer’s Report:

Approval of paid bills: Motion by Tim, seconded by Amy

Approval of January financial Report: Motion by Kerry, seconded by Mary

Approval of payment of January bills: Motion by Amy, seconded by Janet

All motions were unanimously passed.

Old Business:

1. Circulation stats are up from last year for January: 2767, up 25/ WIFI 108/OWWL2GO 241/Overdrive Mags25.
2. Open House was a success and something we hope to do once a year. About 39 people were there.
3. Town of Richmond – FEMA zoning: we have been clear that we cannot do what DEC is asking re changes to our building, since we have already made changes that Tim Rock recommended and we believe that this should be sufficient to deter any flooding. We have not heard anything knew from the town.

Programs/Meetings

Janelle listed an impressive number of meetings held here from January 6^th through February 11^th, on the agenda.  There was a total of 200 Attendees.  We also have some private tutoring every Tuesday and Thursday, and every evening from 5-8 pm. Janelle reposts info about the week’s activities so people know those schedules.

New Business

1. Doors to the closet were replaced on January 21^st and they will set up a time to finish and repaint. There is apparently no reason why the painting should have caused to problem with the rivets and if they is one it will be fixed at no charge.
2. The Trustees’ positions – President, Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary – were discussed, and as we don’t do a formal process, trustees just decided that as the officers agreed to retain their positions, and no one else wanted them, those would just re-up. The Board also decided to ask the Secretary to provide more information in the Minutes about discussions, decisions and an Action List to remind trustees what they had agreed to do, if anything, for the next meeting.
3. Ron Kirsop has agreed to come and meet with us to do a training workshop, which we all thought would be very helpful. He cannot come at our regular meeting hours but can come a little earlier on our usual meeting night.  The State now mandates a certain number of education hours for trustees. Decision made with him that: He will come on Wednesday March 11^th.  We will gather for our meeting at 5:45 and he will arrive at 6:30 for about an hour or so.
4. State Annual Report Due on February 14, 2020.

The roof leak repair was $405 and there has been no more leaking. Tree trimming was also discussed as a contributing factor to roof issues; a patron, Mr. Spraugh, has volunteered to trim back the cherry tree.

$13,000 was received from Brian Kolb.

New Business:

January open house is tomorrow, 1/9, 6:00 – 8:00 pm. Mary will pick up food: a cheese tray from Wegmans. Janet will be setting up the drinks. Many people have said they will be attending. We are unsure of the actual number of people to expect.

Tim moves to allow Mary to pay for the open house food as HPL Board Member. Motion was passed unanimously.

Our previous insurance provider, Erie, is no longer available through Chrisman Insurance. We are awaiting the new cost of insurance through Utica.

Possible volunteer opportunities were discussed and will be presented at the open house tomorrow. Advise Janelle of any additions/ideas to add.

Some ideas for performances were shared by Janelle, including: Merry-Go-Round Theater, a dance class followed by swing band performance with a dance floor and karaoke accompanied by a house band.

Janelle attended the Town of Richmond Comprehensive Planning Committee meeting where she discussed how HPL would like to serve the community. The meeting went very well and areas of discussion included expanding program offerings, expanding hours, a possible, survey to determine what the community wants from the library. The FEMA topic also came up at this meeting. The Town Supervisor, Daryl Marshall, mentioned the possibility of HPL being written out of FEMA. We are currently holding on the issue – not moving forward.

Minimum wage has increased from $11.10 – $11.80. This only affects Katie. Katie is doing great and things are going smoothly even without Sue. A ladder to access top shelves as well as a wheelchair to keep at the library were possibilities discussed. Janelle would like a construction grant to make the front doors more handicapped accessible.

The reorganization of the library looks great. Janelle is working with the school art teacher and principal to display student’s artwork around the library as well as generating other ideas to bring more people in.

Action Items:

Amy will email minutes to all.

Mary will find a volunteer for the February book sale.
