December 12, 1989
The regular meeting of the Englewood Public Library Board was
called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Al Quaintance.

Virginia Johnson, Joe Rathburn, Dorothy Totton
REGRETS: John Peterson, Bev Simon
ALSO
PRESENT: Sharon Winkle, Director of Library and Recreation
Services, Alex Habenicht, City Council Representative
to the Board, Donna Gottberg, Recording Secretary
Roll call was taken and a quoru~ declared present.
There were no scheduled or unscheduled visitors present.
Chairman Quaintance turned the meeting over to Ms. Winkle for the
Director's Report.
Director Winkle noted that the CD-ROM Reference Center equipment
should arrive before the end of the year. This was funded from
a Library and Services Construction Act (LSCA) grant. There will
be demonstrations held for staff, Board and patrons within the
next 2-3 months.
A Local History (oral) grant project will begin soon. Nancy
Bunker obtained a grant for $8,895 from the Colorado Endowment
for the Humanities (CEH) to hire experienced interviewers for
this project. Brief discussion followed.
Director Winkle distributed highlights of the proposed revisions
made to the Colorado Library Law. A full copy of the Law is
available upon request. Englewood is a Home Rule City and State
law this does not apply to Library operations in most cases. The
Law is sometimes applicable in situations which are not addressed
by the City Charter and codes. Brief discussion followed.
I q c__
Director Winkle briefly highlighted several items in the 1990
Action Plan, noting that some of the items are "on-going". One
major change is the "Mission Statement." This statement was
developed for the 1991 Plan, but it was decided to use it
beginning in 1990.
MOTION 89-29: That the Board adopt the 1990 Action Plan as
presented.
Moved by: Joe Rathburn
Seconded by: Virginia Johnson
Motion carried.
Director Winkle distributed 2 draft copies of "Planning for the
Future" and asked the Board to review. These will be available
for mailing and pickup in the Library. The Board agreed on the
vertically folded draft{8-l/2 x 11) at this time and the content
will be ready for approval at the next meeting.
Joan Hinkemeyer, Information Services Administrator, has proposed
a campaign for the future whereby patrons, community retailers,
banks, etc. can help fund periodicals for the Library as a
gesture of good will to the community. Contribution funds would
supplement City funding which has not kept pace with increasing
costs for magazines and newspapers. A draft copy of the brochure
was distributed. Discussion followed.
Hank Long, Library Services Administrator, has accepted a
position at the Westminster Library as the Library Services
Manager. His last day will be 12/29. The Board expressed their
feeling of loss, but were happy for him in his new position. A
party will be planned for Hank and the Board will be notified.
Director Winkle noted that there will be a review of the vacant
position followed by a recommendation regarding replacement.
Chairman's Report
MOTION 89-30: That the Board seek City Council approval for
expenditure of unencumbered 1989 Library Board funds in an amount
not to exceed $600.00 for purchase of "Books on Tape" for the
Library collection in recognition of the Englewood Eagles'
contribution of $1000.00 for this purpose with funds for the
expenditure to be encumbered no later than December 15, 1989.
Moved by: Virginia Johnson
Seconded by Larilyn Ashlock
Motion carried.
