Call to Order

President Pat Steele called the meeting to order at 5:20pm in the Board Room.

Pat announced that the Board is here to discuss the benefit resolutions that were distributed in the July 19, 2006 Board packets.

Discussion followed, which included: alignment with other libraries (in comparing our sick leave resolution), our cost with staff insurance, insurance benefits for part-time, retirement packages, the list presented to the Board of staff eligible for retirement, reserving funds for liabilities, cutting costs, and preparing to advertise the budget.

Pat asked Sue Sater to send the budget meeting dates to all Trustees and make sure of their availability for a quorum at the regular business meeting on August 16, the CATS public hearing on August 30, and the adoption of the budget on September 13.

Adjournment

The meeting adjourned at 6:55pm.
