B

G

E

A

It is my grace or for them or what is it no.

G

It's it's an amnesty event for us. We've we've seen it done in other libraries. We called them I know, but why.

A

Did you almost like to give it then.

G

They're, the ones that responded. No, no, some money, it's not money! It's food! Oh.

A

You're, getting the money are the people that know.

G

Yeah, if you like, yeah.

E

A

Yeah I know that way: the food, the.

G

A

E

G

You also have in your packet, well Anton I attended another training for the UH the policies for boards commissions. So we talked about this before, but this one was to clarify when it takes into effect and everything I did highlight some of the yes: it became effective, May, 17th, 28:18 frequency. Yes, we have to meet monthly, but.

E

G

E

G

Way- and we've done it already, where we're combining meetings like we combined one in the summer and one there's a form at the end of your little packet there, that we need to fill in and send to the first city manager approval which we did already we've done. If, for any reason, we have to cancel any of the other ten. We have to do this two weeks in advance so, and we know that nobody can make it on this- that nobody can be present for for a certain meeting.

G

We can ask permission to cancel it or move it. So.

B

For example, we'll need this probably for usually members.

G

That's already been helpful that one and the one for the summer where we combine what is a summer that was.

A

G

Early December, if you recall, we combined.

A

G

Also, they need some other highlights in the back of the first page. It is you forfeit your munition if you are absent more than three means per calendar year, so January to December. It doesn't matter if it's excuse or not, it doesn't have to be consecutive either.

G

And then these are not canceled in advance due to lack of quorum. So before where you store, you didn't have a quorum. Are you not? You know? We and we've experienced this with the other committee where we have to be here. The chair calls the meeting to order, determines there's no quorum and the meeting is canceled, but you have to not do the those audit steps.

G

And, of course, also the copy of the ordinances they're free.

A

Absent three times.

C

C

G

Staff of the a if song, if I, do it, sent a letter not today.

C

E

Anybody member yet that's.

A

C

A

That start already, this make sure.

G

It's a we were told it starts and me but I think it's worth it. We.

E

G

You want to know how many times you've been it, but.

E

F

May through December.

G

Because it's true calendar e or so in January sense, was starting in January to December, okay,.

A

So, let's what's effective for January nineteen.

G

The moon is, yes, I, don't think anybody's in danger.

F

B

F

Have a question but yeah what about me? Alex Fitness will be out of it. You.

G

Stay there until the new councilmember appoint somebody, oh and me too, right, yes,.

C

So in oh I stay in here until until.

G

Somebody points points me you're, probably gonna, hear through the runoff and then when they take off it they until they appoint somebody. Then then they they try to play. Oh.

A

G

C

But so what happens if he doesn't.

F

Get elected he stays on the council, I, don't get it heat stays.

G

On the comforts of January, everything I don't think they take and.

A

Then the new person that get them are so many runners right. So there's.

G

Like 11, it's you.

A

Never get rid of it if I can keep it like me, the mayor's coming up, there's no solving. If he doesn't win you.

G

E

You know that context.

G

I'll begin and know that you are assuming that and other than that, if you have any question under tech, word-of-mouth.

G

G

This is the subtext of school furniture.

G

And we contacted others on the radio that we have not gotten them to look at our space yeah and we still don't have a idea of the cost.

E

G

That is south technology library, school furniture. They do sign it to do furniture and they do I think they do look.

A

We use some furniture.

But not the same sizes, these regular signage from the it's very expensive, something a little cost and bright. The cyber.

D

Mobile neat singing rap yeah, because this one I mean to green and it's.

G

Amazing that no one has like the world and so I think he was trying to do something, but it's it's mostly trees and celery.

Unaware second, deny me so I think there's a librarian wishes. We should you know an experiment. I mean Eric's.

G

E

G

D

F

G

One of our new librarians and they're trying to do more adult programming.

D

He's very good I was going to comment that he's very good over the things. Does he is he proposing all this? He.

G

Proposed the graphic novel book club movie night and.

D

G

Whatever tests we'll come up with the program and.

E

The other lady.

G

Rocks ain't got sighs doing really well with computer classes and helping people with their devices.

G

D

And it is the Poetry Slam, then.

G

That is the Teen Advisory Board.

G

And then, of course, Halloween.

E

B

Other questions, events, services, new monthly statistics.

A

Their titles would it's.

G

Books, titled sigh could be one title one if we withdraw. Let's say in encyclopedia it's one title, but it's it was.

A

18 tightest.

A

A

I, don't know that's a typo or anything.

A

D

G

We did last year was our big wheat project where we weed it we're reading this this year. So that's probably it might be correct on, because Leslie we had a total of 1767 1760 year in total and this this time next year. Oh no we're withdrawing more this time and last year. So yes, I mean I, don't know that the the math is right, but it probably is, and.

B

Notary services went up two hundred and thirty nine percent that.

G

Here's your no turn right here.

B

What's the big increase.

C

People, knowing that we have the service and it.

G

We don't you don't chart because I know there are some people there yeah. We just.

D

C

This state says: there's just six dollars.

G

Night-Night level G and to do five to five I, take it.

C

F

G

We have a lab now into the.

E

D

Why are there not a story ours and some of the others? I know this is a bigger than cost.

G

D

G

Of them it's just like three months, we've tried it. We have very little attendance after school programs working that wrench. Every branch is different. I see be no story, time, there's no kids. During the day, usually it's the ESL classes, the citizenship all.

E

G

Adults after school, that's when we get the kids toddlers and not really even the ones that might've they come here. It just hasn't worked really I mean what works here. We go after school programs know that kid's gonna come here and do their homework and you can get their books in it. They don't want to stay for a program and the other branches. It works after school programs or.

G

As I give it a go, know.

B

And yet observations and monthly statistics.

C

You might want to jump on that percent. I. Think it's correct if.

G

Percent 18 out of 17 y'all, have there.

A

G

Hats formulas already in there is.

A

G

B

Okay, I never ate a poison, unapproved library, Advisory Committee member absences and.

G

This not have any I was wondering. Do you want to keep doing this approve the absences, even though it doesn't a first City wise for the policy? But if you want it for an internal to know that okay, so and so they're not here, but they call.

A

In its a blooper.

B

I would say: yeah.

E

G

It's approved or not, mmm so we won't have that in so.

A

That, if we don't call in to say we're coming or respond, it doesn't matter anymore.

A

Right but I mean it doesn't matter because we're still going to have the meeting and.

C

A

Its gonna be determined whether we're gonna have sense or not. I think that.

D

Sometimes, like I'm thinking, I hit start to read no you're, not really in.

F

D

Think that we should have something to do the effect that one of us gets sick, and you know that we should.

G

The attorneys like okay, why don't you get that letter from Angie? But then you talk to your consummate to reappoint you there's nothing stopping that, but.

D

Then I would have done for our absences and you know approved or not approved it. We are sick, you know, you know, but.

A

In many of your accent, three tenders to interpret.

D

I know I know, but it's just that in house in house you know say well time I neither does because he was sick.

G

You know the policy, the only mother, so they make any as far as for what they are. You are.

D

Have to be nice and.

A

I did it, you know we all get it right.

D

G

We just never hear from you right. It's not.

D

G

We can we can let you know that they.

B

Do is that not just take out the pool owner who partner.

D

Just a reporting about.

B

Something right, this is the standing of the.

D

Yeah I had to be I, saw three months, but I mean I did make it for the March me I.

F

A

G

Auditory absences yeah.

D

And I think I think I mean they made the room just but I think that our dances, like you know, death in the family or you know and.

G

These are the people that, and we have work people just don't show up. We don't hear from them. We don't know what and that's happening here too long before you work here, but where they didn't call in they didn't tell us, are they still in? Are they do you remember what they were thinking and.

E

G

Yes, and we couldn't get ahold of him, we send an email.

C

G

I think that's what it's not worth.

C

G

Options I think it's reasonable. During a year, especially, we have 10 10 meetings and maids. You.

E

Have to make it to 7.

G

That should take care of emergencies.

B

E

So we're just going to take out the prove that emerges for reporting about accident. All.

B

Right items for the next meeting.

G

The assignment, hopefully, cost them under sign.

G

Oh, a checklist.

E

What mother be included.

G

In here, when done, I but it'll, be in clear for now on yeah.

B

G

The next meeting is not November right, no, okay! That's! We can usually have their first week of.

D

G

Or a second activated.

D

A

D

Week, yeah, it gets busy very.

G

Busy, so the fitnah you remember, fits when right at five.

E

C

B

E

B

That's it I a motion to adjourn.

B

Okay follows a bigger almost closed me is.

G

E

B

Many weeks 137.

E

G

Want the summer I think pull the books and make an exhibit of it. Yeah.

B

I was gonna ask to see which one's America's favorite novel.
