Absent: Jean Marie Mendez, Amelia Washington. The meeting was called to order at 12:10 p.m. Robert Horick moved that the minutes of the previous meeting be approved, Morton King seconded. The minutes were approved unanimously. A $40,000 CD has come due, and has been placed in a Money Market account pending the Board's decision on its distribution. After discussion, Tomi Spence moved that $20,000 remain in the Money Market account for easy access, and that the remaining $20,000 + $1,600 interest be placed in a 12 month CD. Pat Ball seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Discussion was held on the need to replace the existing security system. As the current system is virtually inoperative and cannot be repaired, it was the consensus of the Board that a new system must be purchased and installed as soon as possible. Mary Pat will continue to communicate with 3M and, as necessary, City officials to resolve this problem. Judi Shanklin arrived. Mary Pat asked the Board to approve the expenditure of $525.00 of gift funds on the large print and audio tape collections. Robert Horick made a motion in favor of the expenditure, which was seconded by Mary Beth Huba. The motion passed unanimously. On the subject of library cards for City employees, Morton King made the following motion: "Whereas the request from City employees would not benefit all employees of the city equally, the Board votes to deny the request." Judi Shanklin seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. Mary Pat discussed her plans for the Library budget, and said she would be sending a detailed list to Board members before the budget is submitted to the City. She asked the Board to be prepared to make suggestions or ask questions at that time. The meeting adjourned at 1: 10 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Jere-„ Tomi Spence Secretary
