Library Board of Trustees MEETING MINUTES—DRAFT March 9, 2017 Page 3 of 4 The Foundation Board is also in the process of evaluating why the used book sale is not generating as much revenue as it has in the past. It was suggested that used book sales could also be conducted as part of outreach efforts at Chamber of Commerce events and Farmers Market. C. 2017 Work Plan Beth referenced the 2017 plan included in the Board packet and briefly reviewed Goal 1 with the Boards. D. Colorado Standards for Public Libraries Beth noted that the Louisville Public Library scores very well on key performance measures used in these standards including Circulation per Capita and Turnover of Items in the Collection. Louisville ranks 8 out of 12 with respect to expenditures on library materials. Beth also distributed a community engagement matrix—for library directors, boards, and friends groups—which was available via a link in the electronic version of the standards document. She also noted that many of the roles described for library boards are geared more to library districts than to municipal libraries. VIII. Ongoing Business A. Louisville City Council update (Ashley Stolzmann) Ashley noted that the McCaslin Small Area Plan has been approved. This represents a very long process and a significant amount of Council's time over the past couple of years. The Council is now turning to approving bonds to be issued for construction of the new Recreation/Senior Center. This is of high importance because interest rates have been rising. In conjunction with changes in the status of the work of some boards, for example the Golf Course Advisory Board, a new board that incorporates several Parks Et Recreation divisions may be adopted. Other issues coming before Council include: • Construction of a new access road to Hwy. 42 in the CTC • A decibels -based noise ordinance o The current ordinance makes it very difficult to determine and enforce violations • Construction of a parking structure and whether and how to charge for parking • Potential projects to bury power lines in some areas • Developing an RFP for a new solid waste contract o Council will be asking for public comment Ashley also noted that the new municipal judge will be attending some upcoming Council meetings and recommended that Board members find an opportunity to meet her.
