A
D
Oh
I'll
be
happy
to
make
a
motion
I'll
make
a
motion
that
we
accept
the

I
think
this
might
be
something
which
by
convention,
Phyllis
and
Sharon
and
I
would
vote
on
and
Eric
and
Kristen
might
abstain
on,
since
they

A
B
But
it
doesn't
look
like

So
I
can
start
the
the
vote.
Phillips
Phyllis
bizmanovsky,
yes,
Kristen,
higaki,.
C
A
Okay,

State

On

5.1
library

the

library,
donations,

Chang
and
a
thousand
dollar
donation
from
Rebecca
galioto.
A
A
A
C
A
Item
number
six,
oh
I,
think
in
in
previous
acceptances.
We
wanted
to
think
the
generous
donations.
We're
really
thankful
for
the
support
of
the
library
and
we
want
to
Steward
the
funds
well,
and
so
we're
really
excited
for
this.
For
this
year,
2023,
both
the
new
year
and
also
the
new
year
of
either
the
rabbit
or
the
cat.
Depending
on
how
you
celebrate
the
Lunar
New
Year,.
A
Okay.
Item
number,
six
presentations.
We
have
a
staff
presentation
from
Kyle,
hello
Kyle.
Thank
you
for
coming.
I
think
this
is
when
I
read.
The
public
comment
is
that
right,
Tracy
it'll.
B
Be
after
because
the
public
you
comment
after
okay
and
I'll
have
and
I'll
have
Melvin
introduce
Kyle,
okay,
I
think.
G
Good
evening
Library
board
members,
I
wanna,
introduce
I'm
excited
to
introduce
one
of
the
most
prolific
staff
of
like
the
adult
and
digital
division.
Calvin
has
been
part
of
like
the
division.
For
many
years
he's.
A
adult
librarian
is
currently
responsible
for
program
coordination
for
Adult
Services.
G
He
started
as
a
tech
aide
many
years
ago
when
he
applied
this
decade.
I
can
still
remember
him
asking
he
was
like
in
in
between
on
my
careers
and
he
was
asking
if
he
should
like
go
to
library,
school
and,
and
we
advised
him
yes,
why
not?
So
he
finishes
his
Library
degree
on
in
two
years.
Correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
Kyle,
while
working
as
an
hourly
in
the
library
he
started
as
a
decade
God
promoted
as
an
hourly
library
assistant,
then
an
hourly
librarian
and
he's
now.
G
Currently
a
librarian
Kyle
would
be
talking
about
adult
programming
at
the
library
and
without
further
Ado
Kyle.
H
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
kind.
Introduction,
Melvin,
I,
guess
we'll
just
get
started
here.
So
let
me
just
start
sharing
my
screen
here.
All
right.
H
All
right,
and
is
everyone
seeing
my
presentation
on
the
screen
you're,
seeing
the
first
slide
there
all
right,
great
well
as
as
Melvin
mentioned
yeah,
my
name
is
Kyle
Vol
I'm,
a
librarian
in
the
adult
and
digital
Division
and
I'm.
Now
the
program
coordinator
for
all
of
our
adult
events
and
I'm
excited
to
Showcase
some
of
our
programs
for
you
over
the
last
several
years
for
you
tonight.
H
So,
first
of
all,
I'd
like
to
talk
about
our
program
goals
for
the
library.
Our
programs
aim
to
entertain,
educate
and
celebrate
the
diverse
community
of
Mountain
View.
All
programs
meet
Community
needs
and
interests
in
various
areas
such
as
education,
literacy,
technology,
sustainability,
culture
and
entertainment.
To
support
lifelong
learning.
H
We
strive
to
think
to
strengthen
our
community
by
offering
programs
that
are
inclusive
and
reflective
of
our
cultural,
racial
and
social
diversity.
Additionally,
additionally,
all
of
our
programs
support
major
Library
initiatives
and
city
council
goals.
Thank
you
say
so.
First
of
all,
I'd
also
like
to
just
take
a
moment
to
acknowledge
and
thank
the
friends
of
the
Mountain
View
Library.
So
all
of
our
presenters
for
our
events,
our
topic,
experts
or
they're
from
organizations
and
non-profits
that
partner
with
the
library
and
most
of
these
presenters,
provide
their
expertise
for
free.
H
However,
for
some
high
profile
events
presenters
require
an
honorarium
for
their
time.
All
of
the
paid
events
are
generously
sponsored
by
the
friends
of
the
Mountain
View
Library,
the
funds
that
they
generate
from
their
quarterly
Book
Sales
and
are
Lobby
shop
and
our
lobby
shop
inside
the
Library
as
well
enable
us
to
pay
our
presenters
and
offer
high
quality
programs
for
our
community.
So
we're
very
thankful
for
the
support
and
generosity
of
the
friends
of
the
Mountain,
View
Library,
and
so
as
as
Melvin
mentioned,
I
am
in
the
adult
division.
H
So
all
of
the
programs
that
I
organize
for
the
library
are
all
geared
towards
adults
and
young
professionals
and
everyone
from
yeah
from
Young
professionals
to
senior
citizens
and
everyone
in
between.
We
have
a
very
diverse
Community
here
in
Mountain
View,
and
we
try
to
offer
a
little
bit
of
everything
to
satisfy
different
needs
and
interests
and,
of
course,
all
of
the
events
are
completely
free
to
the
public.
H
So
with
the
onset
of
the
pandemic
in
March
2020,
all
in-person
events
were
canceled
indefinitely
and
our
access
to
the
building
was
closed
to
both
the
public
and
staff
for
several
months,
with
no
clear
picture
as
to
when
service
levels
would
return
to
back
to
pre-pandemic
levels.
Our
staff
quickly
regroofed
and
we
started
offering
virtual
programs
to
our
community
on
Zoom.
H
Both
adults
and
youth
divisions
began
hosting
online
programs.
As
early
as
the
first
week
of
May
2020.
so
shown
on
the
top
right
there,
you
can
see
a
screenshot
from
our
popular
ESL
conversation
Club.
This
was
always
a
very
popular
event
prior
to
the
pandemic,
and
it
quickly
took
off
as
a
virtual
program
as
well.
H
Local
attendees
began
spreading
the
word
to
family
members
from
outside
the
Mountain
View
area,
and
within
a
couple
weeks
we
started
seeing
people
zooming
in
from
out
of
state
and
even
out
of
the
country
from
locales
such
as
Mexico
and
Japan
and
Texas
shown
on
the
bottom
right
there.
You
can
see
a
screenshot
from
another
one
of
our
Marquee
virtual
programs
in
2020.
This
was
step
into
your
power,
a
discussion
with
Jamia
Wilson.
H
This
was
a
discussion
about
women's
rights
and
race
in
America,
following
the
widespread
protest
movement
in
summer
2020.,
we
are
joined
by
author
activist
and
renowned
speaker,
Jamia
Wilson.
This
was
also
in
in
recognition
of
women's
History
Month
as
well.
We
had
a
very
productive
discussion
and
we
concluded
that
with
a
lively
audience,
q,
a
which
I
moderated.
H
H
Sorry
about
that.
So,
as
I
said,
we
also
expanded
our
offerings
of
digital
resources
during
the
pandemic.
So
to
Showcase
these
various
resources
that
we
added,
we
started
hosting
Digital
Library
workshops
to
educate
our
community
about
using
new
resources
like
the
streaming
service.
Can
the
video
streaming
service
canopy,
for
example,
on
the
right
there?
You
can
see
an
image
of
my
colleague,
Court
Fields
who's.
H
Also
a
well
now
he's
a
senior
librarian,
but
at
the
time
he
was
a
librarian
in
our
division
and
he's
offering
a
live
tutorial
on
how
to
use
canopy
by
the
end
of
fiscal
year,
2020
and
2021
the
adult
division
hosted
a
total
of
167
virtual
programs
with
a
total
of
3401
attendees.
H
So
now
we're
looking
into
pandemic
year
two.
So,
as
our
service
level
started
to
move
towards
pre-pandemic
levels
in
fiscal
year,
2021
2022,
we
continued
with
virtual
programs,
but
we
slowly
brought
back
more
in-person
programs
with
the
within
the
limits
of
the
county
and
City
Health
orders.
Of
course,
in
August
2021
we
offered
a
virtual
gender
and
sexuality
101
Workshop,
which
covered
the
spectrum
of
gender
and
sexuality,
including
crucial
terminology
and
inclusive
language.
H
You
can
see
that
photo
on
the
top
right,
which
is
a
from
the
presentation
and
also
you
can
watch
the
full
presentation
online
on
the
Mountain
View
Public
Library
YouTube
page
our
in
our
first
return
to
in-person
programs.
That
year
was
the
city's
weekly
rent
relief
and
eviction
help
center
in
September
2021.
H
And
in
this
same
fiscal
year
we
also
brought
back
sci-fi
September.
So
after
a
year
Hiatus,
we
didn't
do
it
in
2020,
but
we
brought
it
back
in
2021.
So
sci-fi
September
is
an
annual
Mountain
View
Public,
Library
tradition,
in
which
we
offer
events
that
celebrate
both
science
fiction
and
the
real
life
science
that
inspires
the
stories.
Our
highly
educated
community
of
avid
readers
and
science
Buffs
always
look
forward
to
this
series
of
programs
every
year
and
we
were
so
glad
to
be
able
to
bring
it
back
for
September
2021.
H
We
hosted
an
author
talk
with
Bay
Area
sci-fi
author
Mike
Chen,
where
he
just
he
discussed
his
latest
novel.
We
could
be
heroes.
We
also
hosted
a
program
with
NASA
scientist,
Jose
Benavides,
who
discussed
the
free-flying
robots
on
the
International
Space
Station.
We
also
offered
a
Sci-Fi
trivia
night
and
even
a
Sci-Fi
themed
craft
night
among
others.
H
Foreign
fiscal
year
also
saw
the
return
of
some
of
our
recurring
in-person
events
such
as
the
drop-in
bike
clinic.
So
every
third
Saturday
of
the
month,
professional
bike,
mechanic,
Ryan
Murphy,
comes
to
the
library
to
help
community
members
fix
up
their
bikes
for
free,
or
he
offers
advice
on
how
to
address
more
serious
issues.
He
can't
handle
right
then,
and
there
you
can
see
him
on
the
top
right.
There
he's
changing
a
tire
for
one
of
our
customers.
H
We
also
saw
the
return
of
our
free
tax
preparation
health
program
during
tax
season,
and
additionally,
we
hosted
our
first
in-person
musical
performance
since
the
pandemic
closure,
and
that
was
in
November
2021.
We
hosted
the
Dave
Rocha
jazz
quartet
and
you
can
see
them
there.
They
performed
in
Pioneer
Park.
They
performed
a
set
of
jazz
standards
and
original
Tunes
to
a
crowd
of
120
people
in
Pioneer
Park,
and
so
in
total.
H
The
adult
division
offered
207
programs
in
fiscal
year,
2021
2022,
with
a
combined
attendance
of
3974,
attendees
of
which
1326
were
from
in-person
programs,
and
so
now
we're
looking
at
this
year.
So
even
with
the
libraries
return
to
pre-pandemic
service
levels
and
the
return
of
a
lot
more
in-person
programs,
we're
going
to
continue
to
offer
virtual
programs.
Not
only
is
it
convenient
for
working
adults
after
a
long
day
at
the
office,
but
virtual
events
also
provide
expanded
accessibility
for
people
who
are
homebound
with
mobility
issues
or
disabilities.
H
Furthermore,
program
servers
surveys
that
we
conducted
from
the
last
fiscal
year
indicated
that
many
programs,
many
customers,
would
still
like
to
attend
virtual
programs
going
forward
over
53
percent
of
the
people
that
we
surveyed
said
that
they
would
prefer
the
virtual
format
so
from
July
through
November
2022,
we
hosted
37
in-person
programs
and
36
virtual
we'll
continue
to
monitor
the
trends
and
attendance
to
find
the
right
balance
of
in-person
and
virtual
programs.
H
But
we
envisioned
some
number
of
virtual
programs
continuing
alongside
our
in-person
programs
for
some
time
in
the
for
the
foreseeable
future
and
on
the
right
there,
you
can
see
a
photo
from
an
ancient
history,
an
ancient
Egyptian
history
program.
We
hosted
in
July
2022
on
Zoom.
We
were
joined
by
renowned
egyptologist
and
author
Cara
Cooney,
who
gave
a
talk
about
her
book,
The,
Good,
King's,
absolute
power
in
ancient
Egypt
and
the
modern
world
total
of
53
people
logged
in
to
watch.
H
H
So
we
have
elevatemv
that
was
the
when
we
were
one
of
the
application
hubs
for
the
city's
City
councils
pilot
guaranteed
basic
income
program
back
in
September
22
2022,
a
total
of
138
applicants
were
able
to
submit
their
application
for
the
pilot
program
at
the
library.
H
We
also
are
continuing
our
housing
and
eviction
help
center,
where
we
continue
to
offer
a
venue
for
members
of
the
community
to
access
needed
eviction
resources.
This
is
a
twice
a
month
and
ongoing
we're
currently
doing
it
on
on
Thursdays
on
every
first
and
third
Thursday
I.
Believe,
but
don't
quote
me:
I'll
double
check
the
calendar.
Let's
see.
H
Also,
in
the
same
category,
we
hosted
an
introduction
to
Medicare
Basics,
where
older
adults
could
get
information
on
navigating
Medicare
and
we
hosted
in
December
2022
an
event
called
identifying
and
interrupting
micro
aggressions
in
this
presentation,
we
were
joined
by
volunteers
from
the
Council
on
American,
Islamic
relations
or
care,
and
they
discussed
microaggressions
explored
examples
that
are
commonly
experienced
and
they
role
played
through
real
life
scenarios
with
community
members
and
another
major
category
of
programs
that
we
offer
are
programs
that
celebrate
multiculturalism
and
promote
inclusion.
H
So
one
of
the
ones
that
we've
offered
a
couple
of
times
now
is
an
ask
a
dietitian
program,
and
this
is
a
Chinese
bilingual
wellness
program.
It's
in
partnership
with
the
Chinese
Health
Initiative
of
El,
Camino,
Hospital
and
wellness
topics
are
presented
both
in
English
and
in
Mandarin.
This
started
in
July
2021
and
the
latest
was
in
August
of
2022..
H
It's
been
one
of
our
most
popular
virtual
programs
over
the
the
last
several
years
with
our
last
two
boasting
more
than
50
attendees
live
on
Zoom,
which
is
very
impressive
for
a
zoom
program,
also
we're
hosting
our
ESL
conversation.
Club,
that's
been
continuing
and
we've
been
seeing
a
lot
of
growth
with
that
as
well.
It's
a
weekly
Meetup
where
people
can
practice
their
spoken,
English
and
learn
about
American
mainstream
culture
in
a
relaxed
social
and
non-judgmental
Center
setting.
This
is
a
weekly
ongoing
program,
every
Wednesday,
some
other
programs.
H
In
this
category
we
hosted
a
program
on
the
brief
history
of
Indian
civilization.
This
was
a
lecture
and
presentation
by
author
and
historian
namit
Aurora
on
Indian
history
of
the
last
5
000
years,
and,
as
you
can
see
here,
we
hosted
how
to
have
difficult
conversations
about
race,
practical
tools
and
necessary
for
necessary
change
in
the
workplace,
place
and
Beyond.
With
author
Kwame
Christian
and
just
last
week
we
hosted
a
Lunar
New,
Year
celebration
and
painting
Workshop.
H
This
was
a
brief
talk
about
the
customs
of
the
Lunar
New
Year,
followed
by
a
Hands-On
painting
class,
where
community
members
learn
to
paint
zodiac
animals
and
flowers
to
ring.
In
the
year
of
the
rapid.
You
can
see
one
of
our
customers
proudly
showing
off
her
work
there
on
the
bottom
right
and
so
another
major
area
of
programs
that
we
like
to
offer
a
category,
that's
very
popular
with
our
community,
our
programs
that
provide
recreational
activities
and
entertainment.
H
So
we
We've
brought
back
our
sing
and
play
along
ukulele
Jam.
We
started
that
up
again
in
July
2022
and
this
event
participants
learn
how
to
play
chords
on
the
ukulele
and
then
perform
and
sing
along
to
popular
songs
that
use
those
chords.
We
have
over
a
dozen
ukuleles
that
are
accessible
for
the
community
in
this
program
and
those
are
all
provided
by
the
friends
of
the
library
generously
from
them
we
hosted
the
Aurora
mandolin
ensemble
in
July
2022
and,
as
you
can
see
from
that
first
photo
there.
H
It
was
a
very
popular
event:
they
performed
pieces
from
their
wide-ranging
repertoire
of
old
European,
semi-classical
and
contemporary
pieces
show
tunes
and
popular
oldies.
We
hosted
a
fantastic
creatures,
drawing
Workshop
in
September
2022,
where
local,
illustrator
and
art
instructor
Karen
luck,
LED
an
interactive
workshop
on
sketching
Fantastical
beasts
and
imagine
monsters.
This
was
part
of
our
sci-fi
September
series
of
events
for
2022.
H
and
on
the
bottom
there
you
can
see
a
photo
that
we
took
at
the
Opera
San
Jose
performance
in
October,
2022
resident
artists
from
Opera
San
Jose
performed
Arias,
with
from
some
of
the
greatest
operatic
works
and
53
people
attended.
This
live
in-person
performance,
some
other
ones
as
well
like
such
as
the
3D
printing
workshop,
at
that
one
participants
learned
how
to
design
their
own
mini
jack-o-lanterns
with
3D
printing
software,
and
then
we
printed
their
Creations
for
them
with
using
our
own
3D
printer.
H
Another
category
of
programs
that
we
like
to
offer
are
informational
programs
and
programs
that
off
that
promote
a
love
of
reading.
So
in
July
2022
we
hosted
Alka
Joshi
she's,
the
New
York
Times
best-selling
author,
who
wrote
the
henna
Artist
as
well
as
the
Secret
Keeper
of
Jaipur.
H
This
was
part
of
our
online
author
series,
which
I
will
be
discussing
a
bit
in
one
of
our
upcoming
slides.
We
hosted
in
also
in
sci-fi
September
2022,
an
author
talk
with
popular
fantasy
Author,
Jim
Butcher.
H
193
people
tuned
in
to
watch
this
one
live,
and
now
the
recording
on
YouTube
has
over
8
800
views
on
our
YouTube
page.
So
that's
pretty
impressive.
Those
definitely
our
highest.
Viewed
video
on
the
Mountain
View
Library
YouTube
page.
H
We
also
hosted
an
event
called
The,
Rise
and
Rain
of
the
mammals.
In
this
event,
we
were
we
were
joined
by
author
and
paleontologist
Steve
brusati,
who
offered
a
fascinating
and
enthusiastic
presentation
on
the
evolution
of
mammals
from
the
age
of
dinosaurs.
Up
to
our
current
day
and,
interestingly
enough,
he
actually
zoomed
in
all
the
way
from
Scotland.
So
we
had
to
kind
of
navigate
the
time
difference,
but
we
made
it
work
and
it
was
a
really
great
event
and
that
photo
there,
you
can
see
is
from
a
an
event.
H
We
did
with
popular
cat
behaviorist
Animal
Planet
TV
personality
and
popular
YouTuber.
Jackson
Galaxy
was
called
cat
q.
A
with
Jackson
Galaxy
was
the
event
in
this
program.
I
interviewed
him
and
fielded
questions
from
the
audience.
H
Jackson
enlightened,
enlightened
us
about
many
misunderstood
feline
topics
such
as
over
stimulation
from
petting
best
practices
for
trimming,
her
cat's
nails
and
much
more
City,
Communications
coordinator
Shonda
Ranson
actually
sent
us
that
photo
there
and
you
can
see
her
and
her
cats
were
enjoying
that
program
from
home
and
last
month
we
hosted
also
part
of
our
online
author
series.
H
We
had
a
author
talk
with
Frederick
Bachmann
best-selling,
author
of
a
man
called
UVA
Frederick
Bachmann
is
the
yeah
he's
the
number
one
New
York
Times
best-selling
author
of
a
man
called
uve
Britt
Marie
was
here,
bear
town
and
many
other
popular
novels,
some
of
which
have
been
adapted
into
movies
and
TV
series
and
over
140
people
tuned
in
to
watch
that
event
live,
and
so
we
also
like
to
offer
events
that
promote
sustainability
and
wellness.
So
I
already
mentioned
our
drop-in
bike
Clinic
that
we
offer
every
month
it's
very
popular
event.
C
H
Event
called
purifying
purifying
Wastewater
to
combat
the
drought.
In
this
event,
Valley
Water,
we
were
joined
by
the
organization,
Valley
Water
and
they
offered
a
free
virtual
tour
of
the
Silicon
Valley
Advanced
water
purification,
Center,
attendees
learned
about
the
advanced
treatment
processes
and
the
role
of
recycled
and
purified
water
as
the
future
sustainable
water
supply.
H
Furthermore,
we
offered
the
healing
power
of
meditation
in
August
2022.
In
this
event,
we're
joined
by
clinical
physician,
Dr
Matthew
Rader,
who
presents
the
latest
clinical
research
on
how
meditation
can
improve
physical,
mental
and
spiritual
health.
H
And
so,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
we
recently
started
this
new
series
called
the
online
author
series.
So
in
July
2022
we
launched
this
series.
We
joined
professional
book
clubs,
Library
speakers
Consortium
and
with
the
online
author
series
we
give
access
to
them.
We
give
access
to
the
Mountain
View
Community
to
talks
with
best-selling
authors
and
renowned
thought
leaders
covering
a
wide
range
of
topics,
and
we
get
to
work
with
at
least
two
up
to
four.
H
Every
month
in
this
series,
we've
hosted
noted
speakers
such
as
Alka
Joshi,
Frederick,
Bachmann,
Geraldine,
Brooks,
Simon,
Winchester
and
Dr
Marcia
charlatan,
to
name
a
few
and
they've
all
guested.
On
this
online
series,
membership
in
the
Consortium
was
funded
by
the
friends
of
the
Mountain
View
Library.
So
thank
you
again
to
the
Friends.
H
The
Mountain
View
Community
has
really
embraced
this
author
series,
with
a
with
the
combined
total
of
762
registrations.
308
live
views
and
985
on-demand
views
from
July
through
December
2022..
H
Another
interesting
event
that
I
really
would
like
to
highlight
is
the
human
Library.
So
the
library
collaborated
with
the
worldwide
human
library
to
host
human
Library
events
at
our
own
Library.
So
if
you're
not
familiar
what
the
human
Library
it's,
it
aims
to
ignite
dialogue
between
understanding
between
people
by
creating
a
safe
space
to
have
conversations
that
challenge
society's
stereotypes
and
prejudices
during
the
event
community
members
who
registered
in
advance
can
check
out
a
human
book
to
read
in
one-on-one
conversations.
H
So
each
book
in
our
human
library
is
a
real
person,
who's
available
to
answer
questions
about
their
unique
experience
and
perspective
so
books
in
the
human
Library.
They
often
represent
a
group
in
our
society
that
is
subjected
to
Prejudice
or
stigmatization
or
discrimination
because
of
their
lifestyle
or
their
beliefs,
their
disability,
Social,
Status,
ethnic
origin
Etc.
So
we
hosted
our
first
human
Library
event
back
in
July
of
2022,
which
you
can
see
that
photo
over
there.
H
From
that
event,
and
then
just
this
past
Saturday,
we
hosted
it
again
on
January,
21st
and
during
this
book.
During
this
event,
we
had
many
more
human
books
and
some
of
the
categories
include
transgender.
We
had
a
book
who
was
autistic
and
a
psychiatric
patient
one
was
a
lesbian.
One
was
woman
in
Tech
with
chronic
illness.
H
Another
book
was
blind
and
PTSD
and
lastly,
we
were
also
joined
by
a
police
officer
from
Mountain
View
From,
The,
Mountain,
View,
Police,
Department,
Lieutenant,
Wahid
McGee,
and
we're
planning
our
third
and
final
human
Library
event
for
the
fiscal
year
in
April
2023.
H
hosting
human
Library
events
is
one
of
the
library's
major
goals
for
this
fiscal
year,
and
it's
been
a
great
experience.
This
last
past
event,
we
had
over
four
yeah
I
believe
we
had
14
conversations
with
11
different
community
members
and
everyone
I
spoke
with,
had
really
glowing
things
to
say
about
the
experience,
and
it's
been
a
really
great
experience
for
me
as
well.
Working
with
them,
and
another
thing
we
have
upcoming.
H
H
Three
adult
fiction
titles
were
selected
for
2023.
That's
there
there
by
Tommy
orange
the
second
life
of
Muriel
West
by
Amanda
scannedafor,
and
what
the
fireflies
Knew
by
Kai
Harris
the
kickoff
event
for
Silicon
Valley
reads:
is
this
week
on
January
26th,
the
authors
of
the
three
book
selections
I
mentioned
will
be
interviewed
about
their
novels
and
you
can
register
for
that
program
and
watch
it
from
home
or
you
can
register
to
watch
it
in
person
as
well
through
the
Mountain
View
Library
website.
H
So
on.
February,
9th
Master,
Gardener,
Candace
Simpson
will
discuss
best
practices
for
growing
fabulous,
Citrus,
she'll
cover
planting
location
and
Method
fertilization
and
watering
Frost
protection
and
how
to
identify
and
manage
pests
and
in
honor
of
Black
History
Month
we're
going
to
be
hosting
award-winning
author
and
poet,
Marilyn
Nelson
for
a
poetry,
reading
and
discussion
of
black
history
and
culture.
That's
going
to
be
on
February
16th
and
the
tax
program
will
be
returning
so
on.
H
Every
Tuesday
and
Saturday
from
February
4th
through
April
18th
we're
going
to
be
offering
free
tax
help
at
the
library
with
skilled
volunteers
from
Vita
and
our
sing
and
play
ukulele
Jam
is
going
to
continue
every
month
from
January
to
June
and
our
online
author
series
is
going
to
continue
every
month
as
well
and,
as
I
said,
we
get
to
have
at
least
two
to
four
high
quality
authors
and
speakers
on
a
wide
range
of
topics.
So
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
those
as
well.
And
that
concludes
my
presentation.
D
Thanks
Kyle,
that
was
very
interesting.
I
had
a
couple
quick
questions.
The
first
is
with
regards
to
in
person
events.
How
is
the
time
available
in
the
the
two
conference
rooms
the
large
room
upstairs
and
downstairs
matching
the
amount
of
time
that
you'd
like
to
have
for
adult
programs
are?
Are
we
doing
okay
there
with
the
new
setup.
H
Yes,
it's
been
great.
Having
access
to
both
program
rooms,
I
mean
I,
would
say
for
the
majority
of
our
in-person
programs.
We
tend
to
do
it
downstairs
just
because
we
can
have
a
lot
more
people
and
allow
us
for
more
physical
distancing,
but
for
some
smaller
programs
and
for,
like
our
eviction,
help
center.
That's
one
that
we
often
host
in
the
second
floor
program
room
but
yeah.
It's
been,
it's
been
great.
Having
both
rooms
and
we've
I
would
say.
On
average,
we
usually
have
maybe
two
to
four
programs
in
person
every
week.
D
Good
good
before
the
pandemic
began,
the
library
often
hosted
city
council
people
running
for
city
council,
the
Q,
a
group
sessions
which
were
generated
a
lot
of
community
interest,
I'm
wondering
if
that
might
become
possible
again
at
some
time
in
the
future,
and
also
given
what
you
said
about
viewership
of
recorded
programs,
Even
If,
This
Were,
to
be
done
in
person.
Would
it
be
possible
to
record
it
and
make
it
available
for
viewing
for
the
broader
Community,
as
well
as
for
those
who
might
attend
in
person?
I'll.
B
C
C
H
So
we
always
try
to
analyze
what
we've
what
we've
done
in
the
past,
that's
been
successful
and
any,
and
we
also
just
try
to
see
if
there
are
any
gaps
that
we're
missing,
that
we
want
to
improve
upon
for
the
next
fiscal
year.
We
also
do
sometimes
receive
applications
from
the
community
of
people
who
want
to
post
programs
and
of
course
they
have
to
be
vetted
and
go
through
a
process,
but
sometimes
we
get
programs
that
way,
and
sometimes
it
might
just
be
I'm.
H
G
I
I
can
add
something
to
what
Kyle's
already
said.
So
at
the
beginning
of
the
fiscal
year,
we
looked
at
what
goals
or
projects
that
the
library
has
committed
to
for
the
fiscal
year.
Most
of
that,
like
our
city
council
initiatives
and
then
Kyle
and
I
and
others
will
do
like.
Sometimes
a
couple
of
hours
like
program
planning
just
to
like
map
out
like
what
kind
of
programs
would
meet.
G
This
Kyle
is
very
good
at
like
cold
calling
Publishers
like
authors,
for
example,
he
mentioned
Jim
Butcher,
which
is
like
aha,
a
best-selling
author.
He
he
just
tried
to
like
get
in
touch
with
with
person
or
the
author
and
the
author
agreed
to
do
the
program
for
free.
If
it
was
someone
else,
if
we
they
would
probably
like
pay
thousands
of
dollars
for
that.
So
he's
very
good
that,
like
cold
calling,
is
not
afraid
of
being
rejected.
The
worst
thing
that
would
happen.
C
Yeah
I
saw
that
you
got
Randall
Monroe
coming
up
I
just
signed
up
for
that
thanks
Casey
the
author,
but
I
guess
one
thing
I
mean
like
from
I'm
wondering
if
there's
a
way
we
can
get
more
of
the
like
some
public
input
into
that
in
terms
of
like
maybe
a
comment
card
at
some
of
these
events
and
say
like
hey
what
what
other
events
would
you
be
interested
or
just
to
maybe
expand?
H
Yes,
well
so
we
we
do
off.
Have
you
know,
comment
cards
that
that
we
welcomed
anyone
in
who
comes
into
the
library
can
fill
those
out?
Also
through
the
the
the
Mountain
View
Library
website,
you
can
do
the
little
contact
us
and
you
can
send
us
an
email,
there's
different
categories
that
you
know.
We
do
often
get
recommendations
from
the
public
about
hey,
we'd
like
to
see
more
craft
programs,
or
you
know,
I
really
enjoyed
that
musical
performance.
You
did
last
month.
We
need
we
want
more
of
those.
C
G
Of
course,
and
also
we
are
periodically
like
conduct
like
program
survey,
and
we
would
ask
out
questions
like
that,
like
what
else
do
you
want
to
see
and-
and
we
have
shortened
the
survey,
because
our
experience
is
that,
if
the,
if
it's
more
than
a
minute,
people
would
not
fill
that
out
and
and
those
surveys
would
would
look
up
program,
satisfaction,
how
is
the
author,
or
or
the
presenter,
and
sometimes
solicit
program
ideas
or
what
else
they
want
to
see
in
terms
of
like
programming.
A
I
can
go
thanks,
Kyle
for
that
presentation,
I
one
of
the
questions
I
had
kind
of
follows
up
on
what
Eric
was
saying:
I
wanted
to
say
that
I've
attended
some
of
the
virtual
programming,
where
you
facilitated
really
great
conversations
with
local
authors
like
Vanessa,
Hua
or
Mimi
Locke
and
I
was
wondering
how
some
of
the
local
conversations
I
guess
how
you
coordinate
those
in
relation
to
the
new
online
series
with
all
of
the
really
New
York
Times,
best-selling,
I,
guess
Heavy
Hitters,
we
might
call
them
I
attended
the
Frederick
backman
one
and
I
saw
that
there
were.
A
H
Yeah
well,
I
would
say
that
yeah
with
the
online
author
series,
it
is
kind
of
a
its
own,
separate
animal.
That's
something
that
that
we
don't
really
get
to.
We
do
get
to
suggest
you
know
authors
to
the
to
the
organization
to
the
Consortium,
but
we're
not
really
actively
in
conversations
with
those
authors
themselves,
we're
kind
of
just
a
venue
to
our
community
to
say:
hey
now
you
have
access
access
to
all
of
these
really
big
best-selling
authors,
who
we
normally
would
not
be
able
to
afford.
H
The
other
authors
that
you
mentioned,
like
Vanessa,
Hua
and
Mimi
lock.
Those
are
people
I
just
reached
out
to
and
it
was
kind
of
cold
calling
like
Melvin
Said
So
when
I
when
I
find
you
know
a
best-selling
author.
That
I
think
you
know
has
interesting
work
that
ties
into
our
city,
council
initiatives
and
goals
and
something
I
think
our
community
would
be
interested
in,
especially
if
they're
from
the
Bay
Area
I
just
send
them
emails,
try
to
find
their
publisher
their
publicist
and
go
from
there.
Sometimes
they
reply.
H
Sometimes
they
don't
but
usually
they're,
very,
very
good
to
work
with
and
are
well
often
sometimes
work
with
us
for
free.
E
Yeah
is
there
a
minimum
number
of
programs
that
you
aim
to
hit
each
year
or
how
do
you
decide?
Is
it
just
you
call
people
and
then,
if
they
respond,
then.
E
Organize
it
or
is
there
more
structure
onto
like
how
often
and
well.
H
It
goes
into
those
different
categories.
I
mentioned.
You
know
we
do
attract
different
categories
that
are
based
on
those
city
council
goals.
So,
as
Melvin
mentioned,
we
do
kind
of
have
a
program,
sir.
H
We
sort
of
go
through
all
of
our
programs
that
we've
done
the
past
fiscal
year
and
we
we
try
to
match
which
categories
those
would
fall
into
and
see
if
we're
having
any
gaps
or
if
we're
loading
up
too
much
on
one
one
category
and
not
enough
on
another,
and
we
use
that
information
to
kind
of
guide
our
programming
decisions,
and
you
know
also
with
the
pandemic.
It
that's
kind
of
messed
things
up
a
bit,
but
now
we're.
H
Finally,
at
a
point
where
now
we
can
pretty
much
put
on
as
many
programs
as
we
can
feasibly
organize,
but
in
the
past
the
during
2020
and
2021
it
was
definitely
a
bit
more
challenging
just
because
we
were
pretty
much
limited
exclusively
to
Virtual,
so
that
made
things
more
challenging,
but
Melvin
I
don't
know
if
you
have
anything
more
to
add
to
that.
But
that's
that's
pretty
much.
G
Yes,
and
in
addition
to
what
Kyle
has
already
mentioned,
we
we
have
like
kind
of
like
several
buckets
of
like
programs
that
we
offer.
We
have
like
those
homegrown
programs,
such
as
our
our
showing
with
fagmo
or
ESL
conversation
Club,
the
bike
Clinic,
the
ukulele
Jam.
So
these
are
programs
that
are
local
in
person
that
like
staff
developed
and
has
been
existing
throughout
the
years,
they've
been
popular.
So
we
don't.
We
assess
it
on
a
regular
basis.
If
it's
something
that
us
reaches
its
course,
then
we
stop
it.
G
Then
Kyle
do
reach
out
to
like
authors.
If,
let's
say
we
have
like
an
initiative
at
the
height
of
like
the
the
protest
movement
during
the
summer
of
like
2020
Kyle
was
deliberately
looking
at
like
speakers
who
would
like
like
meet
those
initiatives
of
racial,
racial
justice,
social
Justice
and
and
Equity.
G
She,
he
did
a
program
with
like
Kimberly
Papillon,
who
did
like
a
workshop
on
on
Equity.
That
was
like
in
2020,
I,
believe
and
then
Kyle
already
mentioned,
like
Jamia
Wilson,
so
we
we
do
have
like.
We
do
look
at
that
and
then
balance
it.
G
One
thing
that
would
limit
the
number
of
the
number
of
programs
we
could
offer
in
a
month
would
be
space
if
it's
in
person
we're
sharing
the
space
like
Nicolas
or
served
like
the
two
program
rooms
with
the
youth
division,
who
also
have
like
story
times
and
other
programs
that
they
offer
also
other
resources
most
the
adult
programs
that
we
offer
them
between
the
time
of
like
six
to
eight
pm
to
be
able
to
capture
like
the
working
adults
like
what
Kyle
has
already
mentioned.
G
Something
to
he
already
alluded
to
the
fact
that
the
pandemic
disrupted
our
programming,
but
there
was
also
kind
of
like
a
a
silver
lining
to
that
to
that
cloud
that
we
were
able
to
offer
virtual
programs
that
no
one
was
doing.
Everyone
was
doing
it
like
from
their
own
bedroom.
Kyle
would
sometimes
do
like
an
interview
from
his
bedroom
and
his
pet
cat
would
be
like
walking
on
on
his
bed,
like
just
in
the
background,
so
people
just
pivoted
and
and
and
and
and
and
embrace
or
make
made
something
out
of
the
situation.
G
We
we
plan
on
continuing
virtual
programs
because
it
works
like
the
community
still
loves
it.
We've
expanded
our
offering
so
it's
not
limited
to
those
who
can
just
physically
visit
the
library,
those
that
are
Homebound
and
with
like
the
online
author
series,
we're
not
just
only
offering
like
local
authors,
we're
now
offering
authors
from
like
the
other
side.
The
states
are
more
best-selling
author
stuff.
G
In
the
past
we
won't
be
able
to
to
afford
because,
like
we
can
fly
them
in
and
and
and
those
are
costs
that
the
library
doesn't
have
so
I
think
like
in.
In
summary,
like
we
do
look
at
all
those
factors
to
offer
like,
like
our
homegrown
programs,
our
in-person
and
virtual
and
and
at
the
minimum
we
would
have
like
maybe
seven
or
eight
in
a
month
and
most
of
the
time,
it's
it's
more
than
that.
If
you
add
all
of
the
programs
in
a
month.
E
I
see
okay,
I
I
was
asking
because
I
actually
think
I
think
these
programs
are
really
great.
I
I'm
super
excited
to
hear
about
it,
and
I
was
trying
to
figure
out
if,
if
the
goals
for
this
year
were
to
expand
it
right
to
offer
more
than
you
did
last
year
and
if
so
like,
what
were
the
limitations
that
you're
facing
to
try
and
reach
that
goal?
G
Thank
you
for
the
clarification
we
don't
really
like
said
as
a
goal
like
a
certain
number
of
programs.
That
is
something
that
we
decide
internally
by
looking
at
the
calendar
and
when
we're
doing
program
planning.
However,
our
initiatives
which
have
we
have
been
continuing
for
the
past
two
years
is
to
like
offer
a
variety
that
that
that
would
meet
like
the
the
the
needs
and
interest
of
a
diverse
Community.
G
That's
why
you,
you
would
see
the
something
we
started
for
like
the
past
two
years,
adding
more
bilingual
programs
Kyle
mentioned
already
that
partnership
with
the
the
Chinese
Health
Initiative
of
El
Camino
health,
where
Wellness
programs
are
delivered
in
English
and
in
the
Mandarin
language,
so
that
has
been
very
popular
and
it
it
it's
it's
it's
a
program
that
meets
like
one
of
the
diverse
or
Multicultural.
G
It's
a
recognition
of
the
multi-cultural
aspect
of
our
community.
So
the
we
look
at
are
the
libraries
initiatives
for
the
year
as
well
as
city
council,
and
then
we
go
from
there
and
and
of
course
we
wanna
like
exceed
what
we've
done
for
the
past
year.
But
you'll
also
hit
a
limit
because
of
the
limitations
of
space
and
and
all
other
resources,
but
so
far
not
to
brag
but,
like
I,
think
we're
doing
good
I.
H
I
was
just
going
to
add
to
that
yeah
I,
don't
know
the
exact
number,
but
just
anecdotally,
I
I
can
definitely
confirm
that
we
have
a
lot
more
programs
this
year
compared
to
the
last
two
years.
Just
because
we
have
been
offering
a
lot
more
in-person
programs
and
with
the
online
author
series,
I
I,
don't
know
the
number
off
top
of
my
head,
but
it
definitely
is
more
than
the
last
last
year.
H
B
And
just
finally,
to
add
what
both
Kyle
and
Melvin
Said
our
departments
perform.
All
the
city
departments
have
performance
measures
and
related
to
programs,
our
performance,
measured
that
we
have
this
rate
of
satisfaction
as
they
both
mentioned.
We
do
survey,
attendees
and
so
forth,
and
so
our
measurement
isn't
based
on
the
quantity
of
how
many
programs
we
have.
Although
we
do
track
that
and
give
that
to
the
State
Library
every
year
as
it's
something
all
libraries
submit
in
the
to
the
state.
B
But
our
concern
is
the
quality
and
meeting
the
city
council
initiatives
and
so
are
what
we
look
at
is
the
satisfaction
surveys
and
we'll
be
probably
in
February
or
March.
Looking
at
every
year,
the
board
of
Library
trustees
reviews
the
annual
performance
measures
and
then
the
six-month
performance
measures
so
from
July
through
December
and
we'll
be
bringing
that
to
the
board,
probably
in
February
or
March,
to
see
what
our
six
months.
A
I
also
wanted
to
add
how
much
I
appreciate
the
staff
Kyle.
Thank
you
for
explaining
all
the
ways
in
which
there's
a
lot
of
flexibility
and
pivoting
necessary
during
the
pandemic,
I'm
thinking
about
some
of
the
virtual
craft
programs
in
which
Candace
had
to
think
deeply
about
how
to
get
craft
kids
into
people's
hands
so
that
we
could
all
craft
together
during
the
lunch
hour.
A
So
I
really
appreciate
the
Innovation
and
the
patience
and
the
thoughtfulness
that's
gone
into
that
I
really
like
hearing
about
the
library's
support
for
vulnerable
populations
and
one
question
I
had
about
the
human
library
was
how
you
recruit
some
of
the
human
books
I
liked,
seeing
the
diversity
of
human
books
that
were
presented
and
I'm
sure
it
takes
a
lot
of
vulnerability
for
the
human
books
to
even
show
up
and
so
I
wondered.
H
Yeah,
so
you
know,
as
I
mentioned,
we
partnered
with
the
human
libraries
and
organization,
it's
a
worldwide
organization
started
in
Denmark
and
they
have
book
Depots
kind
of
all
throughout
the
world,
and
so
I
was
working
with
the
human
Library
organization.
They
connected
me
with
a
someone
who's
from
their
Bay
Area
book
Depot,
and
so
they,
they
kind
of
connected
me
to
different
books
and
different
categories.
H
Also,
since
this
was
our
second
event,
I
also
reached
out
to
some
of
the
people
who
weren't
able
to
attend
the
one
that
we
posted
over
the
summer
and
in
and
I
will
say
also
just
in
advertising
the
event.
We've
also
received
some
feedback
from
the
community
of
people
say
you
know
like,
for
instance,
I've
received
an
email
from
someone
when
we
put
out
our
last
newsletter,
saying:
hey
I'm,
a
disabled,
War,
veteran,
I
I.
Think
I
would
be
a
great
fit
for
this.
H
You
know
and
then,
if
they,
if
we
think
they
would
be
a
good
fit,
then
they
have
to
go
through
a
training
process
where
they
they
set
up
an
online
training
with
the
human
Library
organization
and
yeah
anyone
who's.
Whether
you're
the
reader
or
you're,
the
book
or
you're,
the
the
publisher,
which
is
the
the
library
that
hosts
the
event
we
all
have
to
attend,
trainings
with
the
organization
and
it's
they
have
a
very
strict
process
and
that
they
have
to
go
through
yeah.
H
But
we
all
we
always
try
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
broad
diversity
of
books
in
any
human
Library
event
that
we
offer.
So
that
way,
it's
it's
supposed
to
basically
reflect
the
diversity
of
The
Human
Experience,
the
human
conditions.
So
we
try
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
loading
up
too
much
on
any
one
category
or
perspective.
D
A
A
F
B
You
you
can
have
a
discussion
and
then
someone
can
make
a
motion
to
I
move
to
vote
for
so
and
so
for
chair,
and
then
you
can
do
the
same
for
vice
chair.
So
you
can
do
in
separate
okay.
A
And
would
you
mind
so
I
want
to
warmly
welcome
Eric
and
Kristen
into
our
fold.
I've
I
wanted
to
I.
Remember
when
I
first
joined
the
board,
I
wasn't
really
clear
on
on
the
informal
policies
in
terms
of
how
we
were
rotating
through
some
of
these
positions.
Tracy,
do
you
mind
giving
a
brief
history
of
what
to
expect.
B
Sir
still
it's
similar
to
it's
similar
to
city
council
that
they've
rotated
mayor
and
vice
mayor
and
some
of
the
boards
and
commissions
it
can
be.
However,
you
you
do
it
for
the
board
of
Library
trustees
as
far
as
I
know,
and
so
listen
Nicole
I
think
have
been
on
the
the
board.
Quite
a
while
can
can
answer
that,
but
I
believe
you've
just
rotated
on
who
was
the
chair.
D
So
once
a
year
we
have
elections
in
January
and
at
that
point
we
elect
a
new
share.
Typically,
the
vice
chair
becomes
the
chair,
and
so
both
positions
are
filled
annually
in
January.
F
Stays
on-
oh
sorry,
I
was
just
gonna
say
part
of
that
is
to
have
someone
with
experience
and
then
a
new,
a
new
board
member.
So
we
we
try.
In
the
past,
we've
tried
to
integrate.
F
You
know
somebody
with
experience
with
someone
who's
new
and
then
that
person
the
following
year
moves
up
and
we
bring
in
another
new
person.
So
we
try
to.
We
try
to
rotate
and
let
everyone
have
an
the
opportunity
to
in
the
past.
Everyone
have
the
opportunity
to
be
in
a
board
position.
C
C
F
Different
perspectives-
and
you
know
it
just
seems
to
work
well
and
we've
been
doing
that
for
a
long
time
and
it
seems
to
work.
A
C
D
C
D
Before
we
do
that,
could
we
ask
Eric
and
Kristen
how
they
feel
about
being
put
on
the
spot
like
this
and
if,
if
either
or
both
of
them
would
be
interested
at
this
point
in
becoming
Vice
chair,
no
wrong
answers.
C
A
D
There's
a
quarterly
meeting
with
the
mayor
that,
in
in
theory,
the
chair
is
asked
to
attend
with
the
chairs
of
several
other
boards
in
practice
that
doesn't
always
happen,
and
particularly
in
the
time
of
the
pandemic,
that
has
not
always
happen.
Shall
we
say.
B
There
is
the
duty
of
the
annual
celebration
and
the
chair
every
year.
There
is
an
event.
The
city
clerk's
office
puts
an
event
together
to
celebrate
all
the
boards
and
commissions
the
city
council
are
there.
B
Awards
are
given
to
volunteers
who
have
been
on
boards
and
commissions
for
a
while,
and
then
the
chair
would
speak
and
give
just
an
overview
of
accomplishments
for
the
year
highlights
of
what
the
board
does.
It's,
maybe
five,
five
to
ten
minute
presentation,
and
that
would
be
the
chair
unless
they're
unable
to
attend,
then,
hopefully
the
vice
chair
and
then,
if
neither
would
be
able
to
attend
it
would
be
one
of
the
other
board

C
F
A
D
Know
I'm
sorry,
Nicole
go
ahead,
quick
question
just
before
I
didn't
want
to
interrupt
Tracy's
report.
Would
it
be
possible?
Maybe
this
is
a
question
for
joy
to
circulate
the
the
board
work
plan
in
the
planning
calendar
and
the
policy
rubric
to
Eric
and
Kristen
so
that
they'll
have
them
available
too.
B
B
Oh
the
rubric,
oh,
we
can
have
Joyce
and
the
rubric
yes
thanks
and
we'll
explain.
I
I
can
explain
that
in
my
report,
what
it
is.
B
Okay,
so
for
the
director's
report
I
will
we
will
send
Eric
and
Kristen.
The
board
came
up
with
it's,
not
a
boarding
commission
official
document,
but
the
board
came
up
with
a
couple
years
ago,
an
equity
rubric
that
one
of
the
board
member
previous
board
members
came
up
with
just
as
a
tool
and
then
the
members
kind
of
looked
at
it
made
a
few
edits
and
you'd
utilize
it.
When
the
staff
bring
policies
that
need
updating
or
a
new
policy
on
our
web
page,
we
have
several
policies
and
we'll
I'll
have
joy.
B
B
So
if
we
needed
to
update
it
for
some
reason,
we
would
do
the
research
on
what
we
need
to
change
and
bring
it
to
the
board
the
board
one
of
the
roles
that
the
board
is
to
adopt
Library
policies,
and
so
the
equity
rubric
is
sort
of
just
a
tool
for
you
all
to
look
at
to
see.
Does
the
policy
fit
within
this
Equity
rubric,
but
I
think
once
you
see
it,
you'll
understand
it
more
and
we'll
get
that
sent
to
you.
B
So
you
have
it
and
then
it
does
go
when
we
send
the
board
agenda
out
for
a
meeting
that
does
include
a
policy
discussion
that
we
bring
we'll
include
that,
but
we'll
send
you
a
copy,
so
you
have
a
copy
of
it
as
well.
D
I'll
just
say:
I
I
found
it
helpful
when
I
had
the
idea,
I
envisioned
a
brainstorming
tool,
something
that
would
help
me
when
reviewing
a
a
policy
to
sort
of
look
at
these
issues
and
think
about
them.
So
something
to
sort
of
prompt,
my
better
self
to
remember
things
to
be
considering
while
I
was
rereading
policies.
B
So
I
only
have
two
additions
to
the
written
director's
report.
We
are
currently
in
the
recruitment
stage
for
hiring
a
library
manager
position
and
then
we
have
four
librarian
vacancies,
so
we
still
have
five
vacancies
and
HR
is
trying
to
get
to
those
as
quickly
as
they
can
there's
vacancies
throughout
the
city.
So
we're
anxious
to
to
get
those
fields,
but
but
at
least
one
is
in
the
recruitment
stage
and
then
just
so,
you
all
probably
know
that,
beginning
in
February,
the
meetings
for
all
the
boards
and
commissions
will
be
in
person.
B
So
that
does
make
it
easier.
The
reciting
of
the
the
everything
in
red
kind
of
in
the
agenda
flow
will
not
be
needed
for
in-person
meetings,
so
running
in-person
meetings
are
definitely
easier
than
than
the
the
virtual
meetings.
So
that's
a
plus
and
we'll
be
meeting
in
the
second
floor
program
room
just
to
note
the
February
meeting
in
the
March
meeting
because
of
the
holiday
in
February.
B
We
when
we
scheduled
the
meetings
for
the
calendar
year
because
it's
towards
the
end
of
February
there
is
only
three
weeks
between
the
February
and
March
meeting.
So
there
is
potential
that
we
may
cancel
one
or
the
other.
B
We
do
have
and
I
know
a
Jen
is
sending
is
later
in
the
agenda,
but
performance
measures
is
usually
in
February
or
March,
so
it'll
depend
on.
If
we
get
those
statistics
for
by
the
time
the
February
meeting
is
and
then
every
two
years
city
council
does
their
goal
setting
and
they
do
ask
for
the
boards
and
commissions
to
review
and
to
give
input.
B
It
will
be
either
February
March,
so
we
may
have
to
meet
both
but
or
one
or
the
other,
depending
on
those
timelines.
So
just
to
give
you
a
heads
up,
but
the
next
meeting
will
be
in
person.
So
that's
all
I
have
for
my
report,
foreign.
A
B
And
then,
as
I
mentioned,
we
will
have
our
mid-year
performance
measures
and
we'll
send
out
it's
in
the
budget
document.
All
the
Department's
performance
measures,
but,
along
with
the
rubric
Eric
and
Kristen,
we'll
I'll,
have
joy,
send
you
a
copy
of
our
performance
measures,
so
our
current
ones
and
our
goals
for
this
year.
So
you
have
those
as
well
and
then
we'll
have
those
six
months
numbers
either
at
February
or
March.
And
then,
as
I
mentioned,
the
city
council
input
on
their
on
their
their
goals.
