Stolzmann) Ashley reported on the following issues: ■ Police Department Master Plan is currently under review. • City Staff is working on a proposal to streamline terms and other issues related to City Boards. Eliminating duplication of effort is a primary focus. o Non-profit boards present some particularly difficult issues and the Legal Committee is currently performing a review to prepare recommendations. • Work continues on the budget process with the operations budget due from the City Manager in two weeks. • The McCaslin Small Area Development Plan is still forthcoming, as is the Sam's Club redevelopment. C. Superior Board of Trustees Update (R. Dozal) Rita noted the following: • The 'Call & Ride' program is starting up again but it won't include a route that brings people to the Library. Rita will discuss possible solutions with her contacts at RTD. ■ Rita voiced her wish to have a book drop outside of Town Hall so that Superior residents have access beyond the weekday hours that Town Hall is open. Beth noted some of the issues that have been evaluated by Superior and Louisville and indicated that this issue is connected to the IGA and is not in the purview of the Library Board of Trustees. D. Library Foundation Liaison Report (R. Gurganus) Renee reported the following: • The Foundation was very enthusiastic about the Born to Read program and discussed various aspects of the program. • Teen Librarian Jessica Hilbun Schwartz attended the meeting and talked about the teen programs that are funded by the Foundation. • Book sale funds have been declining, so Foundation members agreed that they need to be more involved in keeping the book sale shelves stocked and organized. • The Foundation has created some specialized letters for large donors. • The Foundation received a donation from a child who had participated in the Read to Rover program at the Library, which is funded by the Foundation. The child loved the program so much that he wanted to help keep it going and embarked on his own fundraising effort.
