Code of Conduct Policy Beth recommended adding `shopping carts' to the list of items that may not be brought into the Library. The Board unanimously approved the change. B.

The Board reviewed the documents for informational purposes and did not have any comments. This is not a policy that needs Board approval. C.

Louisville City Council update (A. Stolzmann) Ashley noted two issues that may appear on this year's ballot: 1) whether the residents of Louisville want the option for public broadband service; and 2) do the residents of Louisville want to extend the Historic Preservation Fund sales tax of $0.125 for another 10 years. Other items discussed: • City Council will take up the biennial budget review in August • A resolution outlining the City's commitment to sustainability was passed • The City will be issuing an RFP for construction of a downtown parking structure o Paid parking for all of downtown is likely Ashley also commended the Library and Library staff for a wonderful children's Summer Reading Program she recently attended, The Big Bubble Circus.
