Library Board Minutes Page 3 <br /> October 25,2023 <br /> Mayor Dietz had a couple of discussion items he wanted to bring up to the board. <br /> The lip on the curb outside the main entrance of the library needs to be fixed. He will speak to City Staff to <br /> get this fixed. <br /> The paintings above the fireplace were donated by Mayor Dietz's mother-in-law so he is happy to hear they <br /> are being matted and framed. He also thinks moving them away from the fireplace will keep them in better <br /> shape by avoiding the heat. <br /> Mayor Dietz informed city staff that the signs around the outside of the building and parking lot are faded <br /> and in bad shape. City staff will get those signs replaced in the spring. <br /> Mayor Dietz mentioned the attendance policy currently in place for the members of the library board.The <br /> library board members are scheduled to attend four meetings per year.They can miss one meeting without <br /> penalty but if they miss more than that they risk losing their seat on the board. Right now, one of the library <br /> board members have recently been placed in this situation.The City Council is reviewing the attendance <br /> policy of all boards and commissions right now and will decide and get back to the library board with the <br /> results. Once the attendance policy has been fully discussed and modified,that information will be given to <br /> each board member, so they are aware of the requirements for attending meetings. <br /> Mayor Dietz asked the library board and staff if they had an update on the status of the master gardeners <br /> that in previous years had done work on the gardens on the library grounds. <br /> Commissioner Boelter said she remembered that at one point the board discussed not having enough <br /> master gardeners involved to do the work. <br /> Ms. Barry and Ms.Burkhardt said they have not had any contact with the master gardeners,just the junior <br /> master gardener program contacts. Ms. Barry said she could reach out to the contact she has to see if there <br /> is an additional contact for the master program. <br /> Commissioner Boelter mentioned that she thought Rita Dreissig,a previous library board member,was <br /> involved with the master gardeners. <br /> Secretary Larson will pull the minutes from previous library board meetings when the status of the master <br /> gardeners was discussed. <br /> Mayor Dietz also asked about the status of parking in the round bout in front of the library. He had been <br /> asked about this by a library patron and wondered what happened with it or if there had been discussion. <br /> Secretary Larson will put the minutes for him from previous library board meetings. <br /> Mayor Dietz and the board also requested to move the yearly grounds walk through to April and then move <br /> the indoor building walk through to July. Secretary Larson will adjust the standing agenda items list to reflect <br /> this change. <br /> 6. Announcements <br /> [ MBE , 8 1 <br /> NATURE <br />
