Mayor Bums nolcd that the ordinance passes on fir>t reodina. that thero will be a sccond rading after the
IIIIClldmenlchangcalJO.
(vi) Mayor Bwns noted lhat this Agenda Item is a ru:ommendation from the
Library to adopt a bill for an onlinance approving a contracl for• food and beverage service c:ut for the
Library.
Co unciJ Member Waggoner advised thal he just nccdcd some additional clarific:ition as to who is going to
be rospomible for damage to property or books if coffee or drinks are spilled in the Libr3ry . Director
Long advised that the conlr.lct specifics ti1a1 the vendor concessionaire has a sizable insurance policy 10
cover any major damage. He DOied that any damage lo Individual books or items. if they oa:ur, would
probably be ,bsorbed by the Library. The same way they absorb them now if someone laltcs them home
and rc:ids them in the bathtub or their do g chews them up. Mr. Long sta•ed they do no! for= that being
a major ?roblcm.
As the: Co-_,cil liaison 10 the Library Boord. Council Member 1,-·cnicht commented that the Boord has
discussed this quite a bit. She said she can assun: Council tha! the Library Boord members probabl y care
more about what happens 10 the books than almost anyt,c;ly else . Ms . Habenicht noted that she has neva-
seen a group that gets into their thing as much as Library Board people. A lot of it was discussed ru .d a
sur,-cy was doue of the public and they also did a five year plan of how 10 im prove Uic Library . how 10
bring moro people in and how 10 do belier service. One of the things that kepi coming up was that this
was a new and emerging kind of service 10 provide . Ms. Habenicht staled that it : -~ of pulJ us on the
cutung edge. but also in competition niU, other groups th.11 arc doing this . She ,.ud she cannot begin 10
tell Council how sincere ,nd conce rned Libra ry Board members ,,.. They h.we IOlll y asked these
questions and put Director Long 10 the lest on thi s one and he has rca.lly co me forward with addn:ssing IUI
tJ1osc cono:ms. Co,mcil Member Habenicht advised I.hat she believes , having set through a lot of those
discussions. tha t those co ncerns a,c met.
Director Long co mmonted that one of the hardest sell jobs they had 10 do ,.,., 10 the Libr,ry staff. because
librari ans arc trained 10 keep the books away from that type: of1 hmg. So now . he noted, they arc ha\'lng to
do a differcnl ki nd of mind set. He said this 1s somethi ng that you sec popping up mother librai,cs . you
see it popping up in book stores like the Tancred Cover. ll is ro51C31l y an ambiance , a fncndlincss type of
issue. So. he >dvised. tha1 is U1e roason they are going lo try it •nd they talked to the vendo r and S31d we
