REPORTS
Friends of the Library - A fundraiser is being planned in partnership with the Hamilton Community Development Coalition. A laminator has been purchased. It came with two rolls of film. There could be a charge for community use. This could be publicized.
Finance- CD#170984 is maturing in April. Jim Morris moved the $10,000 money market be purchased. John Kolditz seconded. Motion carried.
Librarian's Report- The Open Meeting Act certification must be completed by new trustees. There is training for the new website. Bookmarks will be made with the website on it. There is a request for a counter to register patron use. Cicily Knowles, John Kolditz and Dan Reinhardt will meet with the Hamilton City Council to work on the new budget. The library flag needs to be replaced. Jim Morris moved and John seconded. Motion carried. Nancy Denton will see to this. Books that were burned in the recent fire will not be charded to the patrons. The overdue notices will be looked into. Possibly the system would generate them. The $3,026.25 per capita grant has been approved. It will be sent in 2013.
John Kolditz made a motion as follows: The legality of holding an open meeting on a national holiday has been called into question. Several national holidays fall on Monday's, thus for consistency I move the library Trustee's meeting be changed from the third Monday of the month at 6:30 p.m. to the third Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. effective with the May meeting. Jim Noble seconded. Motion carried.
