City Council Minutes Page 4 <br /> January 3,2016 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> that for all the subscribers we have,the library will only provide us up to 40 hours of <br /> programming per year. <br /> Councilmember Wagner stated the scale is not very balanced and felt it should have <br /> more tier levels, noting the large programming differences between Scale 3 and 4. <br /> Mayor Dietz stated he would like to have a discussion about library hours prior to the <br /> next city budget cycle. He stated he would like more consistent hours. He suggested <br /> taking some of the current funds the city gives to the library for programming and <br /> designating them to cover a change in open hours with some additional open hours. <br /> Councilmember Ovall noted this is supposed to be a standard agreement among the <br /> Great River Regional Library and all the cities,but that the library has been allowing <br /> some minor changes by others. He stated he isn't comfortable with Section 9 on page <br /> 4 regarding termination of services and having no further claim rights. <br /> Mayor Dietz questioned if the city can approve the agreement without that sentence. <br /> Staff would look into the matter. <br /> Councilmember Olsen further brought up the ongoing concerns regarding <br /> programming and the utilization of volunteers. He stated he would like to see language <br /> in the agreement regarding use of volunteers. <br /> Mayor Dietz stated this is a policy issue versus a contract issue and noted the library <br /> has been very rigid on what they will or won't do. <br /> Mr. Portner suggested the city could do its own programming. <br /> -------------- <br /> E)Vloyee Lunch <br /> Mayor Dietz stated if the Council is interested he would like to provide lunch to <br /> employees. He discussed costs and setting up a date in early February. <br /> 10.
