Library Board of Trustees Update
From the Meeting ofJune 22, 2017
Present: Vice President Patty Poggemiller; Mike Willis, Secretary; and Trustees,
Robert Armstrong, Christy Monk, and Pat Maddux
Excused: Jenny Weiss, President; and, Jon Trotter
• May marked 92% of the fiscal year lapsing and expenditures were at 86%.
Revenue collected was at 87% of projections. The Board approved
expenditures made during the past month.
• Library use was up slightly during the month of May. Dubuque library
cardholders checked out about 2% more items compared to May of last
year. Open Access borrowing increased 7% for the first time since
restrictions were implemented.
• The Library is preparing a few test runs for materials between Carnegie-
Stout and the Asbury Branch of the County Library System. The new
service will launch on July 1 . This pilot program will provide drop-off and
pick-up of materials between the two libraries and is intended to expand
library services for residents living in the west side of Dubuque. The two
libraries will evaluate the program in December.
• The position of Marketing Coordinator was discussed and after reviewing
guidelines from the Internal Revenue Service and the US Department of
Labor, provided by City Personnel, the Board agreed the job described
that of an employee as opposed to an independent contractor. The
position description was changed slightly with approval to move forward.
• Three original Kate Van Duzee art works are for sale by a private
individual in Virginia. The Board agreed that the two paintings and one
charcoal drawing would enhance the Library's existing collection and
requested pictures to determine condition prior to offering a purchase
price.
