Library Director Mojo reported the Louisville Library Board of Trustees met with City Council in 2005 to discuss the impact of library use by the residents of Superior. The City Staff initiated discussions with the Town of Superior Staff. Several conversations have occurred over the past months and on April 12th, the Superior Town Manager and three of his management staff members, met with Bill Simmons, Patty Leslie and Anne Mojo. The discussion included a general overview of the financial issues faced by Louisville and responses to a series of questions from Superior. Louisville has sought financial participation from Superior for providing library services. President Alicia Mahoney made a presentation on behalf of the Library Board of Trustees: Mary Seifert, Lisa Kahn, Jerry Maddox, Channah Horst, Eileen Patrick and Meredith Davis. The Board recommended the City Council pursue an equitable financial partnership with the Town of Superior in providing library services to library patrons who reside in their community. They proposed an intergovernmental agreement between the communities to cover five or more years, and should begin no later than 2007. The Library Board of Trustees urged the City Staff and the City Council to engage the Town of Superior in a partnership that provides library services for all patrons. Their second recommendation was that Council adequately staff, equip and give appropriate resources to the library as it is anticipated the patron use and circulation numbers will significantly increase with the opening of the new facility. Mayor Sisk requested public comment. There were no comments.
