Minutes of the Meeting of the
Library Advisory Board
City of Georgetown
December 16, 2013
The Library Advisory Board met on Monday, December 16, 2013 at 5:00 p.m. in the staff
conference room at the Georgetown Public Library, 402 W. 8th Street.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Linda Nix, Lois Case, Margaret Thompson, and Tom Hagen.
Regular Session – To begin no earlier than 5:00 p.m.
A. There were no citizens wishing to address the Board.
B. Consideration of minutes of November 18, 2013 meeting: Lois Case made the motion to
accept the minutes of the November 2013 Library Advisory Board Meeting and Tom Hagen
seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.
C. Consideration of Library Director’s report –Eric Lashley
Director Lashley reported circulation was slightly down for the month of November over the
previous year, but visitations were slightly up.
Lashley reported that he had received a letter from the Texas State Library informing him the
Georgetown Public Library was deemed a net Inter-Library Loan lending library, which
means the library lends more materials than it requests through the system. Because of this
status, the State will compensate us approximately $6,000. He said that this is a pleasant
surprise.
Lashley reported OverDrive circulation continues to grow with an e-book circulation of 1,188
in November and e-audiobooks circulation of 282.
Director Lashley noted the WOWmobile circulation was 2,609 for November and volunteer
hours continue to rise at 759 hours for the month.
Lashley reported that the Friends of the Library purchased new Holiday decorations for the
library.
Lashley reported long-time volunteer Marty Goodstein passed away and long-time volunteer
Mary Taylor is ill and will be unable to continue volunteering at the library. Mary has been a
volunteer for 15 years.
Lashley reported that at the City of Georgetown’s annual staff appreciation luncheon Leslie
Bradley was named Division Employee of the Year, Michele Harber was named City-wide
Employee of the Year, and Eric Lashley was named Manager of the Year. Judy Fabry was
recognized for 20 years of service to the City and Valerie Barber was recognized for 15
years of service.
Lashley reported the Friends’ Hill Country Author Series with Mark Pryor had over 110
attendees.
Lashley announced the winners of the annual gingerbread competition had been recognized.
Director Lashley read the patron comments.
D. Update of Downtown Master Plan – Eric Lashley
Lashley reported that the workshops in November for the Downtown Master Plan update
were well attended. The City had created a survey for citizens to make comments, but had
received very few comments. Linda Nix suggested the survey was in a strange format that
required the person to read each chapter and make comments. The survey didn’t ha ve
direct questions or multiple choice options. Eric reported the consultants would be back in
January to conduct more meetings with different stakeholders groups and then would most
likely meet with the City Council in February.
E. Update on changes at CTLS – Eric Lashley
Lashley reported that Pat Tuohy, executive director of CTLS, has resigned effective March
28, 2014. The board of directors is in the process of writing a new job description and hope s
to hire a new executive director in April 2014. CTLS currently has 152 member libraries.
CTLS is one of the few organizations that offers training for library staff.
F. The terms of Mark Bobinger, Lois Case, Linda Nix, and Margaret Thompson expire in
February 2014 and Dave Ciambrone’s position is open.
Lashley asked members to reapply if they want to serve another term. He noted there would
be more openings in the future and suggested that if board members know of anyone who
would be a good candidate, ask them to apply.
G. Consideration of dates of future Board meetings – Eric Lashley
After some discussion it was determined that a quorum would not be present at the January
meeting. Tom Hagen made the motion to cancel the January meeting and meet again at
the regularly scheduled February meeting and Lois Case seconded the motion. The motion
passed unanimously.
Chair Linda Nix adjourned the meeting at 5:35 P.M.

Review and discuss City Council Attendance Policy for Board members -- Eric Lashley
ITEM SUMMARY:
Sec. 2.36.010. Duties of members of Commissions, Committees, and Boards (from Georgetown City
Code, Chapter 2.36 City Commissions, Committees and Boards)
Attendance by Members is integral to success of the commission, committee or board. It is Council policy
to require a minimum of 75 percent attendance of each Member at each regularly scheduled meeting
including subcommittee meetings. A Member shall be allowed two excused absences for the Member's
personal medical care, required medical care of a Member's immediate family member (as defined by City
Ordinance), or Member's military service that shall not count against the 75 percent attendance
requirement. Written notice shall be sent to a Member and the Member's City Council representative
when it appears the Member may violate the attendance policy by being absent from more than 25 percent
of regularly scheduled meetings, including subcommittee meetings. Excessive absenteeism may result in
the Member being replaced by the Council.

Meeting Procedures
For Georgetown Boards & Commissions
Updated 2.13.2013
Meeting Procedures organize business in a way that meets statutory obligations and the
expectations of the public while maximizing the use resources and of members' time.
In order for a meeting to take place, the following criteria must be met.
1. The agenda must be posted 72 hours prior to convening the meeting.
2. The agenda packet or information to be discussed must be posted for inspection by
Members or the public prior to the meeting.
3. A Quorum must exist prior to convening the meeting.
Staff Liaisons will have prepared the meeting room by setting up the audio recording for the
meeting and by providing any agenda packets or background materials as needed. Depending on
your Board, you may receive a hard copy of the agenda packet, a copy of the agenda only, or use
a computer to access the digital agenda packet.
Please arrive on time and prepared to discuss the items on the agenda, and remember that you
can legally only discuss the items on the agenda. Recall the Open Meetings Act requires
notifying the public of the topics for discussion 72 hours prior to the meeting.
At your first meeting, there will be an agenda item setting the date and time for the next year’s
board meetings. There will also be an agenda item electing your board officers.
Remember, every Board Member has a fiduciary responsibility to:
1. Act honestly and in good faith;
2. To be loyal to and act in the best interest of the City; and
3. To subordinate every personal interest to those of the City to avoid a conflict of interest.
Attendance:
If you cannot attend, you must notify your liaison and Chair as soon as possible and prior
to the meeting.
Attendance is monitored. Absences for medical reasons or military reasons are excused. Staff
Liaisons update monthly meeting attendance by the end of each month and submit the report to
the City Secretary’s office. The City Secretary and the Mayor review attendance and determine
if warning or removal letters need to be sent to a Member that is in danger of or has violated the
75% Council mandated attendance policy. City Council and Staff Liaisons are notified if any
letters are sent to a Member.
If you miss a meeting and the meeting is cancelled due to lack of quorum, you will be counted as
absent.
Excused Absences:
Absences are excused when a meeting is rescheduled to a different time or day that is different
from the regularly scheduled time and day as agreed upon at the first meeting in March.
Absences for medical or military reasons are also excused.
The Board Meeting Format
Regular Session
(This Regular Session may, at any time, be recessed to convene an Executive Session for any
purpose authorized by the Open Meetings Act, Texas Government Code 551.)
Call to Order
The Chairman shall call the meeting to order noting the date and time that the
meeting is convened and the presence or absence of each Board Member.
Comments from the Chair
Committee Reports
Board Liaison / Director Comments
Action from Executive Session
Public Wishing to Address Board
There are two ways for members of the public to address a City Board at a public meeting.
For Posted Agenda Items: Speaker registration forms should be turned in to the Liaison and/or
Chairman prior to the start of the meeting. The Liaison shall keep the form as part of the agenda
packet for the record’s retention.
For Subjects Not Posted on the Agenda: Persons wishing to address the Board may add an item
to a future agenda by contacting the Liaison.
Consent Agenda
The Statutory Consent Agenda includes non-controversial and routine items that may be acted
upon with one single vote. An item may be pulled from the Consent Agenda in order that it be
discussed and acted upon individually as part of the Regular Agenda.
Regular Agenda
You will likely make most motions under the Regular Agenda when following the basic
guidelines as presented in Robert’s Rules of Order.
Executive Session
In compliance with the Open Meetings Act, Chapter 551, Government Code, Vernon's Texas
Codes, Annotated, the items listed below will be discussed in closed session and are subject to
action in the regular session.
Section 551.071: Consultation with Attorney
Section 551.072: Deliberation Regarding Real Property
Section 551.087: Deliberation Regarding Economic Development Negotiations
Section 551.086: Competitive Matters
Adjournment – The Chair shall indicate the time of adjournment for the official minutes record.
How are Motions Presented
1. Obtaining the floor
a. Wait until the last speaker has finished.
b. Address the Chairman by saying, "Mr. Chairman, or Mr. President."
c. Wait until the Chairman recognizes you.
2. Make Your Motion
a. Speak in a clear and concise manner.
b. Always state a motion affirmatively. Say, "I move that we ..." rather than, "I move
that we do not ...".
c. Avoid personalities and stay on your subject.
3. Wait for Someone to Second Your Motion
4. Another member will second your motion or the Chairman will call for a second.
5. If there is no second to your motion, the motion is ended.
6. The Chairman States Your Motion
a. The Chairman will say, "it has been moved and seconded that we ..." Thus placing
your motion before the membership for consideration and action.
b. The membership then either debates your motion, or may move directly to a vote.
c. Once your motion is presented to the membership by the chairman it becomes
"assembly property", and cannot be changed by you without the consent of the
members.
7. Expanding on Your Motion
a. The time for you to speak in favor of your motion is at this point in time, rather
than at the time you present it.
b. The mover is always allowed to speak first.
c. All comments and debate must be directed to the chairman.
d. Keep to the time limit established for speaking.
e. The mover may speak again only after other speakers are finished, unless called
upon by the Chairman.
8. Putting the Question to the Membership
a. The Chairman asks, "Are you ready to vote on the question?"
b. If there is no more discussion, a vote is taken.
c. On a motion to move the previous question may be adapted.
Voting on a Motion
The method of vote on any motion depends on the situation and the by-laws of policy of
your organization. There are five methods used to vote by most organizations, they are:
1. By Voice -- The Chairman asks those in favor to say, "aye", those opposed to say "no".
Any member may move for an exact count.
2. By Roll Call -- Each member answers "yes" or "no" as his name is called. This method is
used when a record of each person's vote is required.
3. By General Consent -- When a motion is not likely to be opposed, the Chairman says,
"if there is no objection ..." The membership shows agreement by their silence, however
if one member says, "I object," the item must be put to a vote.
4. By Division -- This is a slight verification of a voice vote. It does not require a count
unless the chairman so desires. Members raise their hands or stand.
Please remember, all Members should vote on all items requiring a vote (unless there is a
conflict of interest).
Leading The Meeting as Chairman
As the Chair of a meeting you have some key responsibilities:
1. Call to order on time and stay focused using the agenda to efficiently move through the
agenda items within the time allotment for the meeting. Guard against Members
wandering with their comments and becoming off topic from the posted agenda.
2. Achieve the outcomes for each agenda item & the meeting overall. This is the dynamic,
judgment-rendering & skill-demanding aspect of the Chair’s role. This includes allowing
all Board members to address each item as appropriate. Each agenda item should be
identified as: exploratory, decision-making, advisory, information, education, etc. As
Chair, you should have a clear picture in mind of what each meeting needs to achieve,
and the relative priorities of each of item, so you can balance the time and attention of the
Board.
3. Control interruptions and digressions to manage conflict. Members may try to dominate
the conversation, argue with one another or with the Chair, or inadvertently discourage
other points of view or participation.
4. Bring the Board to agreement on the decisions that are in the best interest of the City and
consider using unanimous consent when possible.
5. Verify that decisions and assignments clear to the Members and Clerk keeping the
minutes.
6. Identify the appropriate resources required for the Board Members in advance or during
the meeting.
7. Encourage participation and ensure engagement of all Board members during the
meeting. Help facilitate constructive relationships among Board members
8. It is the Chair's job to ensure that the Board operates as a team. You have to be concerned
about getting the best out of each and every member of the Board. The Chair's role can be
summed up in the term "leader". As the Chair, the rest of the Board will look to you for
leadership. This does not mean that the Chair should "run" the organization. It means that
you have to spend time considering Board and committee assignments to make sure that
all the work of the Board gets done in the most efficient and effective way.

DIRECTOR’S MONTHLY REPORT
GEORGETOWN PUBLIC LIBRARY
DECEMBER 2013 & JANUARY 2014
HIGHLIGHTS
DECEMBER
· On December 13, at the City’s annual Employee Appreciation Luncheon, three library
staff members were honored. Leslie Bradley was a Division Employee of the Year,
Eric Lashley was a Manager of the Year, and Michele Harber was a City-wide
Employee of the Year.
· The annual Gingerbread Construction Extravaganza drew nearly 30 entries and some
of the most creative constructions we’ve seen yet. This event continues to be
extremely popular with both the creators and the viewers.
· Santa visited the library twice, once during storytime on Friday, December 13, and
again at the Family Christmas Party on December 14. There were separate holiday
festivities for the teens and tweens. Attendance at all of these events was greater than
expected.
· The monthly live music event on December 15 featured Kevin Taylor’s Childbloom
guitar students. Artists showing their work in the galleries were Julie Arnold, who
paints realistic scenes from nature, and Emily Painton, whose work is more
expressionistic and focuses on urban scenes and people.
JANUARY
· The editorial staff of the Williamson County Sun agreed to allow the monthly column
about library activities to resume after a year-long hiatus.
· On January 24 Jennifer DuBois spoke in the Friends of the Library’s Hill Country
Authors Series. Nearly 100 people attended the event.
· Three friends shared the library’s galleries during January: Bep Markese, Sigi Field,
and Charlotte Sylvest. Among them they showed work in nearly every two-dimensional
medium.
· The Austin Flute Choir entertained in the lobby on January 20. The fifteen-member
ensemble played a wide range of music and the audience enjoyed learning about
some less frequently seen members of the flute family.
· Mary Taylor, who had been a volunteer at the library for fifteen years and quit in
October 2013 only because of failing health, passed away late in January.
PATRON COMMENTS FOR DECEMBER & JANUARY

DIRECTOR’S MONTHLY REPORT
GEORGETOWN PUBLIC LIBRARY
FEBRUARY 2014
HIGHLIGHTS
The Stuffed Animal Sleep-Over (February 7-8) was very successful. Staff worked late
Friday night to take photos of the 38 sleep-over animals and post them on Facebook.
Their owners arrived Saturday morning to have breakfast with them.
Jill Strong filled both galleries with her work. She only began painting after retirement
and her enthusiasm for her art is very apparent.
Approximately 30 people attended the Game of Thrones event f or 20-somethings and
older that was held on February 15. The staff members who planned the event
reported that they’d hoped for more people but that everyone who attended seemed to
have a good time. Developing programming for this age group is difficult.
On February 16 the Georgetown High School Jazz Ensemble entertained in the lobby.
Two separate groups each played a one-hour program of mid-20th century jazz
classics.
February 21 the library was closed for a day of staff training. The topics covered
included handling circulation problems in Apollo (the library’s automation system);
working with various types of e-readers so that any staff member can help patrons
access materials on Overdrive; an overview of using Evance, the library’s room
reservation system; a hands-on session with the public computers; and an overview of
the reference desk and the digital microfilm reader/printer. Four mini -sessions oriented
staff to the walkie-talkies, the video game equipment, the projectors that are used in
the meeting rooms, and the staff multi-function printer/copier/scanner.
PATRON COMMENTS FOR FEBRUARY 2014
1. Thanks for the computers.
2. Fiction books upstairs are packed on the shelves and bookends are off their slides.
3. Thank you for having a computer I can use.
4. Public Libraries are cool.
5. (This was typed) – A friend of mine has just published a book. He is a local writer –
writes for the local paper, and at home, I believe, on his next novel. C. Wayne
Dawson is his name. His first and current book is title: Vienna’s Last Stand: After
1683 Europe was Never the Same. Here is a brief summary that he sent: 20 yr. Old
Mathis Ziegler, Prof. Of Languages, faces a dilemma – should he fight the Turks (a
hoard over 137,000) hoping to save his family? Vienna has 11,000 defenders, no
relief in sight. The only weapons he has are his ability to speak Tartar and a skill he
learned as a child to leap-whirl- and strike.
