2. DISCUSSION OF ITEMS OF MUTUAL CONCERN
Mayor Mann convened the meeting at approximately 7:10 p.m. The City Council then shared its
expectations of both the Library and the Library Board stressing the importance of team work
amongst the Council and the Board. Mr. Sullivan also expressed the Board's desire to work
together with the City Council, and further the need for increased funding for the Library in order to
continue the level of service in which it is currently operating. Mr. Sullivan indicated he would like
to see the 118 cent sales tax initiative be successful; however, Council Member Sieglock indicated
he was opposed to the 118 cent sales tax and would rather see the City fund the Library at the
current level. It was made clear by the City Council that the Library is another department of the
City (as is Public Works, etc.) and it should feel free to request additional funds from the City for
capital projects including computerization of the Library.
Following further discussion, the Deputy City Attorney was directed to research whether or not
resident and non-resident fees can be charged for Library services. It was agreed by both the
Council and the Library that this discussion was worthwhile in helping the two agencies work
together.
