B
So
in
honor
of
our
our
guest,
our
new
city
manager
will
do
roll
call
and,
as
genie

our
names,
if
you

and
then
we're
going
to,
let
him
do
the
same
so
genie.
Would
you
please
do
a
roll
call.
D
Mute,
my
name
is
juanita
garner.
I
work
for
palm
springs,
unified
school
district,
I'm
a
bilingual
paraprofessional.
There.
I've
been
there
for
about
20
years,
and
my
kids
went
to
school
here
in
palm
springs
in
public
school
and
I've
been
on
on
here.
For
about
I
mean
this
is
my
first
time
so
I
haven't
even
completed
it
quite
a
year
yet,
and
I
was
on
the
building
site
selection
committee.
E
I
was
here
online,
but
getting
to
you
virtually
through
my
phone.
I
am
the
current
treasurer
of
the
board
of
trustees
for
the
library
and
have
been.
This
is
my
first
term
second
to
first
term
and
soon
will
be
my
last
term,
I'm
terming
out
because
I'm
going
back
to
school
starting
next
month.
E
Actually
so
the
other
things
that
I
do,
I'm
president
of
let's
kick
ass
palm
springs,
which
is
a
non-profit
that
helps
hiv
positive
and
long-term
survivors
and
witnesses
to
the
plague
years
here
in
the
coachella
valley
and
I'll,
be
studying
for
an
mph
in
health
services
and
policy.
E
B
My
name
is
ed
mcbride.
I
am
currently
the
president
of
the
board
of
trustees.
It
really
feels
like
I've
been
on
here
forever,
but
I
think
this
is
my
second
term
right
genie.
I'm
I'm
I'm
halfway
through
my
second
term.
B
In
addition
to
that,
I
represent
the
trustees
and
I'm
vice
president
of
the
library
foundation,
and
in
addition
to
that,
other
cultural
things
is
that
I
am
currently
the
secretary
of
the
palm
springs
rotary
club
noon
group,
so
I'm
very
active
as
a
rotarian
so
and
we'd
love
to
have
you
come
talk
to
us
real
soon
too,
when
your
schedule
gets
clear,
but
that's
I'm
a
librarian
by
education.
I've
worked
in
libraries
way
too
long,
but
I've
always
had
some
affiliation
with
libraries
in
my
30
plus
years
so
nice
to
meet
you.
A
Wonderful
and
then
that's
it
for
the
trustees
so,
like
I
said,
lisa
brock
is
our
operations
manager
at
the
library
and
then
we've
got
a
guest,
robert
engel,
and
so
please
introduce
yourself
welcome.
F
Thank
you
genie,
thank
you
for
having
me
today,
so
my
name
is
justin
clifton,
I'm
very
happy
to
be
here
in
palm
springs.
I
come
by
way,
most
recently
of
sedona
arizona
where
I
served
that
community
in
the
same
capacity
for
about
six
years,
and
then
I
also
managed
two
communities
in
colorado
prior
to
that.
So
I
love
public
service.
F
I
love
community
building.
Libraries
are
such
a
foundational
cornerstone
of
that
effort.
Now
my
wife
and
I
also
have
two
young
children
ages,
five
and
three.
So
the
library
is
a
very
favorite
place
of
ours.
We
were
fortunate
in
sedona
to
live
within
walking
distance
of
our
local
library
and
we
were
there
for
story
time
and
all
of
these
things,
of
course,
the
pandemic
had
a
small
interruption
to
that.
But,
needless
to
say,
we
really
value
that
service.
I've
worked
closely
in
my
capacity
with
cities.
F
Interestingly,
the
three
communities
that
I've
managed
all
had
different
governing
structures
for
libraries,
none
of
which
were
internally
operated.
All
of
them
were
special
district
or
non-profit
or
some
other
arrangement,
but
in
all
cases
the
integration
with
the
city
was
strong.
There
was
almost
always
some
kind
of
financial
relationship.
If
not,
there
was
certainly
extensive
collaboration
on
programs,
and
things
like
that.
F
So
I've
worked
closely
with
friends
groups,
foundations,
advisory
boards
and
the
like
in
making
libraries
strong
interesting
times,
we're
in
right
now,
not
only
because
of
the
pandemic,
but
of
course,
the
the
macro
trends
across
the
country,
with
libraries
doing
some
different
things
and
adding
some
different
services
and
kind
of
evolving
beyond
the
model
that
was
predominant
for
so
long
of,
primarily
being
just
a
book
centered
place.
So
I
really
look
forward
to
learning
more
about
our
library.
F
F
So
again,
I
don't
want
to
make
any
promises
on
my
third
day
that
you
know
exactly
what
that
will
look
like,
but
I
understand
how
valuable
the
services
are
to
the
community
and
while
we
want
to
maintain
safety
in
all
cases,
we
also
want
to
return
to
delivering
those
services
that
that
are
so
near
and
dear
to
people's
hearts
and
really
necessary
for
that.
You
know
wonderful
community
that
we're
talking
about
so
I'm
available
anytime.
If
you
need
anything
from
me,
I
say
anytime.
F
Of
course
I
keep
plenty
busy,
but
but
the
point
is,
if
you
do
need
something
from
me
or
if
really,
if
any
of
you
in
your
capacity
supporting
the
library
or
in
capacity
as
citizens
and
knowledgeable,
people
in
palm
springs
feel
that
I
should
know
something
or
see
something
or
be
aware.
Please
reach
out,
and
let
me
know
I'm
here
to
serve
because
I
love
service,
I
love
community,
so
I'm
anxious
to
get
out
there
listen
and
learn
and
and
help
where
I
can
so.
Thank
you
again
for
having
me.
B
Justin,
if
I
could
just
say
that
jeannie
and
her
team
have
worked
so
hard
through
this
pandemic,
to
keep
our
library
alive
and
have
done
an
outstanding
job,
and
so
I
think
you
will
find
that
we're
all
very
proud
we're
a
very
passionate
community
around
the
library
you'll
hear
that
we
learned
that
recently
with
focus
groups
and
talking
to
the
community.
B
So
you
will
hear
from
us
because
the
the
citizens
really
demand
a
world-class
library
and
we've
got
to
work
hard
to
deliver
that.
So
it's
it's
a
great
community
to
live
in,
I'm
very
proud
to
live
here
and
I
think
all
of
us
are
in
this
current
group
of
trustees.
We're
going
to
miss
trustee
kelly
because
he's
been
one
of
our
most
passionate
about
our
money
and
taking
care
of
our
money.
B
F
Thank
you.
I
really
look
forward
to
it
and
and
please
let
me
know
how
I
can
help.
F
B
Understand,
thank
you
all
right.
Everyone.
Let's
call
this
meeting
to
order
of
the
palm
springs:
public
library
board
of
trustees.
It's
wednesday
april,
the
7th
and
I
show
the
time
being:
5,
44.
and
jeannie.
Can
you
talk
to
us
about
the
acceptance
of
agenda?
Please.
D
B
A
G
B
Wonderful
welcome
mr
ingle

glad
you're

we
always
bad
when
someone
from
the
public
does
show
up
and
participates
item
next
is
our
consent
agenda.
May
I
have
a
motion
to
accept
the
consent
agenda,
which
includes
our
meeting
minutes
from
our
last
meeting
in
the
library
statistic
package
I'll
move
a
second.
B
A
Oh
melissa,
chrono's,
not
here
juanita,
garner.
D
B
A
Looks
like
it,
the
friends
of
the
library
are
working
on
their
annual
meeting
and
this
year
it
is
happening
virtually
and
it's
going
to
happen.
On
april
20
april
25th.
A
A
Fiction
under
his
pen
name
viola
shipman
and
that's
named
in
honor
of
his
grandmother
and
he's
a
great
writer
he's
got
a
lot
of
books,
so
we're
going
to
have
best-selling
author
wade
rouse
there,
it's
going
to
be
on
zoom
and
again
you
register
for
free
and
it'll,
be
sunday
april
25th
at
2
o'clock.
A
Another
thing
about
the
friends
of
the
library
is
that
they
completed
their
very
first
online
auction
and
it
was
a
huge
success.
They
met
their
goal.
They
raised
five
thousand
dollars,
so
that
was
a
great
goal.
All
the
baskets
sold
all
the
artwork
everything
sold
and
there
was
one
interesting
story.
B
A
That
was
really
neat,
so
they
made
their
goal
and
thank
you
to
all
the
people
who
donated
baskets
and
thank
you
to
everyone,
who's
who
sponsored
different
activities.
We
got
some
summer
reading
sponsorships
and
all
the
baskets
sold,
so
that
was
that
was
a
lot
of
fun.
There
was
a
bidding
war
for
a
couple
of
them
and
then
someone.
Finally,
someone
just
said:
I've
got
to
buy
it
now
because
I
don't
want
to
lose
this
basket.
E
Can
I
interrupt
for
a
second?
Yes,
I'm
sorry
to
interrupt
is
the
do
you
have
the
scroll
going
on
right
now
because
I
don't
see
it
and
usually
when
I,
whenever
I've
used
a
zoom
meeting
that
has
that
scroll
going,
I
actually
see
it
go
being
typed
along
as
we're
doing
it,
I'm
not
too
sure
whether
or
not
it's
you've
activated
it.
A
A
I
should
also
say
that
they
have
these
mystery
bags
for
sale
for
five
dollars
at
the
front
door,
so
you
can
get
a
bag
of
mystery
items
for
five
dollars,
they're
books
or
dvds,
but
they've
got
those
for
sale
to
raise
money
and
that
you
know
raising
a
little
money
here
and
there.
A
No
they're
they're
we're
just
waiting
to
reopen.
We've
got
the
ongoing
book
sale
area
set
up
and
ready
to
go,
but
for
actual
physical
book
sale.
You
know
that
nobody
feels
comfortable
right
now
being
together
and
and
then
being
in
a
crowd
with
people
wanting
to
buy
books.
So
they
can't
play
anything
right
now.
B
Thank
you
jamie.
I
had
hoped
that
mr
sydney
would
be
here
for
the
library
foundation.
So
let
me
do
my
best,
because
there's
actually
some
very
good
news
out
of
the
foundation
since
we
last
met,
but
first
of
all,
I
think
the
the
foundation
reported
that
they
had
invested
some
money
into
a
software
package
to
get
organized
around
their
donor
database
and
there
they've
actually
installed
that
and
they're
going
through
training
right
now
on
how
to
use
that
product
and
how
to
use
it
to
raise
money,
and
everything
has
gone
really
great.
B
I
helped
with
a
little
bit
of
the
data
conversion
and
we
had
a
lot
of
support
from
our
foundation
board
members
sharing
their
personal.
B
You
know
list
of
friends
from
all
over
the
community,
so
they're
reaching
close
to
a
thousand
people
in
their
list
of
possible
donors
and
at
the
end
of
the
year
they
did
an
end
of
year,
just
pull
it
together
and
ask
and
were
able
to
raise
some
money
off
of
that.
B
So
the
the
estate
formally
announced
to
the
foundation,
I
think
about
two
weeks
ago
that
the
bequest
was
split
between
the
foundation
and
two
other
organizations
and
so
they'll
be
receiving
103
or
110
000
from
that
bequest,
which
was
just
amazing,
so
they
were
they're
very
happy
about
that
and
it
was
we've.
We've
tried
to
do
our
research
to
find
out
who
this
gentleman
was
in
terms
of
not
to
pry,
but
to
at
least
maybe
send
a
thank
you
to
the
family,
and
we
haven't
been
able
to
find.
B
We
think
that
it's
somebody
he
just
loved
the
library
he
needs
to
come
into
the
library
and
use
it
that's
about
what
we
can
put
together
and
was
quite
generous
in
his
estate,
so
the
foundation
and
the
library
will
benefit
a
lot
from
that.
So
that's
that
was
really
good
news
and
that's
probably
all
I.
I
really
had
jenny.
Can
you
think
of
anything
I
mean?
Have
you
talked
to
david
or
is
there
anything
else
from
you
on
the
foundation
or
craig?
Maybe
you
know
something
I
don't
know.
B
Yeah
there's
a
meeting
this
week,
it's
tomorrow
actually-
and
there
was
no
meeting
last
month,
so
you
guys
are
hearing
it
before
the
most
of
the
board
will
hear
about
the
bequest.
So.
B
A
Okay,
so
we've
been
continuing
with
our
library
a
go,
go
pick
up
service,
and
during
the
month
of
march,
we
had
1
1525
pickup
appointments.
So
I'm
very
proud
of
the
work
that
my
staff's
doing
with
that.

and
it's
a
celebration
of
children
and
families
and
reading
and
the
author
pat
mora
founded
this
celebration,
and
I
got
to
meet
her
several
years
ago
when
we
had
a
big
dia
celebration
in
cathedral
city
and
we
are
going
to
do
a
special
story
time
on
april
30th,
and
so
our
children's
librarian
nancy
valdevia
is
going
to
read
book
fiesta
in
english
and
spanish
and
we're
going
to
post
that
on
facebook
and
youtube,
and
that
will
be
to
commemorate
the
25th
anniversary
of
dia.
E
I,
the
only
questions
I
could
think
of.
I
guess
we
already
heard
what
was
going
to
happen
in
terms
of
the
reopening
of
the
library
we
just
don't
know,
but
I
would
imagine
because
of
the
fact
that
the
library
was
reopened
for
a
period
of
time,
not
too
long
ago.
E
A
Right
yeah
we're
we've
been.
We
make
sure
that
we're
ready
so
that
when
we
get
the
green
light,
it's
it's
an
easy
process
to
unlock
the
door.
E
And
is
there
any
new
word
about
whether
or
not
the
the
the
city
is
becoming
more
amenable?
Now
that
it
seems
like
the
you
know,
the
scare
of
the
financial
crisis
seems
to
be
over
that
they're,
actually
revisiting
budgeting,
and
and
whether
or
not
the
projects
that
we
had
put
aside
like
the
fry
building
might
actually
come
back
to
life.
A
One
thing
that
I
did
get
information
about
was
that
our
we're
planning
for
a
flat
budget
for
next
year,
so
we'll
probably
have
one
more
year
of
similar
conditions
that
we
had
this
year,
the
city
manager
just
stepped
off.
So
I'm
not
sure
you
know
he
just
got
here
and
we'll
see,
but
it
is.
It
has
been
great
that
the
city
has
had
a
better
financial
situation
than
they
thought,
but
we,
we
still
don't
know
we're
still
in
the
budgeting
cycle
right
now.
So
we're
still
working
on
that.
A
I
did
put
in
a
request
for
for
what
what
I
needed
and
then
we'll
see.
You
know
we'll
see
what
we
get.
Hopefully,
I'm
getting
a
little
bit
more
than
we
got
last
year
in
this
current
year.
E
Yeah
and
and
lastly,
the
the
status
of
the
machine
that
is
sorting
out
the
books.
What's
what's
going
on
with
that.
A
Well,
we
got,
we
got
the
contract,
everything's
ordered
you
know,
we've
got
the
order
done.
The
situation
with
that
is
covid
and
travel
doesn't
cooperate
right
now,
so
the
company
is
in
germany
and
I
don't
know
that
they're
going
to
be
able
to
get
us,
the
ins,
the
installers,
to
come
out
and
work
on
their
equipment
until
you
know
later
in
the
year,
but
we'll
be
okay.
You
know,
we'll
we've
been,
we've
been
working,
just
fine,
you
know.
A
Even
when
we
were
open,
we've
got
two
self
checks
running
and
that's
perfect
anyway,
to
have
the
two
self
check
stations.
They're,
socially
distanced,
there's
plenty
of
room
between
the
two
and
there's
not
a
lot
of
backlog
when
we
do
have
when
we
even
had
a
full
house
here,
we
didn't
have
a
huge.
We
didn't
have
a
line
of
people
checking
out.
So
every
we'll
be
fine,
but
we've
got
the
order
in
place
and
things
are,
things
are
secured.
So
that's
great.
A
B
Thank
you.
Moving
on
to
the
treasury
reports,
mr
treasurer.
E
Okay,
so
what
you
see
here
at
the
top
in
the
cash
row,
we
have
a
cash
balance
of
one
million,
eight
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
three
hundred
and
ninety
two
and
thirty
four
cents
which
is
nominally
off
from
what
it
was
last
month.
E
I
there's
no
interest
income
credited.
The
only
thing
I
see
is
a
debit.
That's
on
page
11.
That
probably
requires
genie's.
A
Well,
the
they
are
working
to
take
the
friends
of
the
library
account
out
of
your
line
item
and
they
actually
made
a
math
error
so
one
more
month
of
a
transaction
and
then
that
will
actually
show
up
as
zero
zero
completely
zero.
And
it
will
go
away
from
your
balance.
But
that's
what
they're
doing
is
they're
working
to
take
that
that
friends
of
the
library
line
item
out
of
your
accounting
and
moving
it
to
my
accounting.
A
E
This
this
may
be
my
last
treasurer's
report.
I
I
am
not.
I
don't-
may
not
be
here
for
the
may
or
the
june
meeting,
depending
on
what
my
class
schedule
is.
E
My
classes
actually
start
at
five
and
six
pm
in
the
evening,
and
the
only
thing
I
don't
have
right
now
is
my
class
schedule
for
the
for
what
day
those
meetings
will
happen,
and
I
know
that
on
the
agenda
there's
going
to
be
a
discussion
about
the
may
meeting,
but
probably
sometime
between
now
and
that
time
I'll
know
whether
or
not
I
can
make
the
may
or
the
gene
meeting
so
I'll.
Keep
you
guys
posted.
B
Thank
you
also,
I
mean
do
you
do
you
I
from
where
we
started
with
this
to
where
we
are
now?
How
are
you
feeling
I
mean?
Do
you
feel
like
this
report
has
gotten
in
much
better
shape?
You've
worked
so
hard.
How
do
you
feel
looking
back.
E
E
I
think
some
of
the
mystery
has
been
taken
out
of
these
interest
payments
in
terms
of
trying
to
figure
out
what
is
an
interest
credit
mean,
and
what
does
it
mean
when
they
take
back
like
eight
thousand
dollars
from
us
and
what
that
means
about
following
up
about
you
know
in
the
then
the
final
reconciliation
at
the
end
of
the
year,
in
terms
of
whether
or
not
we
got
the
correct
interest
amounts.
So
those
two
things
I
think
have
substantially
got
answered.
E
I
think
the
last
thing
that
might
be
a
challenge
going
forward
is
probably
I'm
trying
to
see
which
page
that
might
be
on.
E
A
I
agree
on
that
when
the
future
library
projects
account
should
happen
is
that
when
we
end
our
year
and
close
our
year,
the
entire
all
the
closed
projects,
the
money
goes
back
in
and
you
know
you
get
your
your
amount
and
then
that
entire
amount
goes
to
the
future
library
projects
accounts.
A
I
think,
and
then
gets
divvied
out
to
the
new
projects,
but
it
kind
of
it
hasn't
happened
in
a
while
and
in
fact,
if
you
look
at
the
total
total
budget
on
this
page,
it's
1.9
million,
but
our
cash
is
only
1.8
million.
So
there's
some
discrepancies
that
hasn't
been
those
haven't
been
cleared
up
over
the
years,
but
this
is
just
a
budget.
It's
not
true.
E
The
only
thing
that's
kind
of
useful
about
this
list
here
is
that
when
we've
actually
allocated
money
for
the
wellwood
patio-
and
then
money
gets
debited
for
the
wellwood
patio
that
really
that
shows
up
here
on
this
page.
E
So
does
the
crop
itself
trust
donations.
G
B
But
as
we
had
agreed
some
time
ago
on
this
this
board,
when
things
reach
zero,
then
they
drop
off
the
next
year
right
junior
they
are.
Is
there
a
policy
that
these
carry
on?
I
know
that
we
said
whatever
money
left
goes
back
into
the
future
library
projects,
but
is
there
a
policy
that
it
carries
for
another
year
or
is?
Does
it
go
away.
A
We
we
control
what
shows
up
here
as
far
as
projects
when,
when,
like
as
an
example,
a
pr
library
campaign,
let's
say
that
we're
not
going
to
do
that
again
next
year.
I
would
just
tell
them
please
close
that
account
and
then
they
would
close
that
and
then
it
would
erase
from
your
screen
and
do
this
so
yeah
like
you,
don't
you
don't
see
the
sun
shade
on
here?
You
don't
see
the
led
sign,
those
different
projects
that
we
did
even
the
wellwood
building
renovation
was
on
on
here
for
a
while.
A
Waiting
and
this
is
a
month
old-
I
don't
know
what
the
current
number
looks
like,
but
the
last
that
twelve
thousand
dollars
is
they're
waiting
for
final
everything
to
be
finally
recorded
and
done,
and
the
project
to
be
completed
before
they
release
the
final
payment
to
the
contractor.
A
Yes,
but
the
contractor
has
obligations
at
the
end
to
close
the
project
and
do
with
their
things
all
the
things
that
they
do.
A
It's
open,
you
could
go
see
it.
It's
opened
every
day,
so
you
could
see
it.
B
B
B
G
E
E
G
D
B
E
No,
I
know
I
know,
and
it's
it's
the
fast
track
program,
so
I'm
supposed
to
do
about
two
years
worth
of
work
in
one
year
so
but
I'm
up
to
the
task
so
yeah,
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
it.
We
start
off
with
a
class
in
epidemiology
and
one
about
the
history
of
the
healthcare
system
in
america.
So
I
think
both
of
the
really
great
topics
to
start
off
with.
B
E
That's
a
funny
thing
because
you
know
I've.
I
got
interested
in
in
an
mph
degree
years
ago,
but
it
was
when
I
started
hearing
about
all
these
students
going
to
school
online
that
I
thought
I
wonder
if
there's
an
mph
program,
that's
reputable
that
has
an
online
program
and
usc
had
had
one
that
was
operating
for
over
a
decade,
so
it's
not
like
they
just
put
it
up
there
because
of
coat
they've
been
doing
it.
E
Yep
soon
soon-
and
it's
it's
kind
of
high
tech
in
a
way
too,
because
they've
got
their
own
tv
studio
and
they've
made
some
of
these
presentations
that
we
have
to
watch
very
intricate,
and
you
know
like
there
was
this
global
nutrition
thing
where
the
background
behind
the
professor
was
costa
rica,
and
you
could
see
forests
with
bananas
and
everything
like
that.
You
know
it's
just
like:
okay,
we're
gonna,
win
an
academy
award
here
or
something
for
cinematography
wow.
B
D
B
All
right,
we
missed
you,
okay,
so
we're
now
on
to
our
discussion
items
and
you
all
may
recall
that
we
have
a
memo
before
us
from
treasurer
kelly
talking
about
our
overall
investment
policy
and
when
he
first
introduced
that
we
decided
at
that
time
to
kind
of
break
it
up
and
have
discussions
about
it
over
the
coming
months.
Assuming
we
had
time
because
he
was
going
to
be
here
with
us
now
I
I
don't.
I
don't
know
what
we
should
do
here.
B
E
Well,
the
presentation
that
I
have
for
you
today
is
really
to
get
you
started
on.
You
know
really
thinking
about
your
role
as
a
board
of
trustees
members,
because
I
don't
think
it's
certainly
not
in
my
time
that
I've
been
here,
there
hasn't
been
a
real
presentation
about
for
one
thing,
fiduciary
responsibility
or
what
what
we
should
expect
as
trustees
to
do
you
know
and
think
about.
So
this
is
a
very
generous,
a
general
presentation.
E
It
talks
about
some
strategies
that
board
members
should
consider
consider
you
may
want
to
continue
to
do
this
kind
of
work
in
terms
of
searching
out.
You
know,
like
I
went
on
to
youtube
and
found
a
couple
of
introductory
videos
that
didn't
seem
to
to
to
be
too
taxing
for
people
who
aren't
finance
geeks,
but
but
really
can
kind
of
give
you
a
little
flavor.
So
I
think
the
overall
discussion
about
what
to
do
with
the
trust
fund.
E
E
If
they're
not
considering
some
of
these
issues,
I
think
they
probably
should
so
so
I
actually
I
I
have
links
to
both
presentations.
I
don't
know:
if
genie
do
you
want
to
share
the
screen
with
me?
I
could
run
them
here
or
do
you
want
to
run
them
yourself
and
they're?
Very
brief.
I
think
the
first
one's
like
three
minutes
and
the
second
one's
about
five
minutes.
C
You
know
what
I
I
watch,
the
videos
and
they're
very
short.
I
think
it'd
be
good
to
show
them
just
one
more
time
but
remember
to
click
off,
because
otherwise
I
got
stuck
on
here
for
an
hour
and
a
half
looking
at
all
the
other
related
videos
which
were
very
informative.
But
I
didn't
plan
on
doing
that.
You
can
always
unplug
your.
C
A
A
A
C
C
Item
item
two
on
your
list
there
that
you
put
down
david,
is
probably
something
we
really
need
to
explore,
find
out
how
much
power
we
do
have
in
these
type
of
in
moving
the
trust
money.
Well,.
C
G
C
C
B
E
G
E
E
G
A
I
think
I
could
let
you
take
control,
and
maybe
you
try
it,
but
you
want
to
try
that
sure.
E
D
E
G
G
And
remembering
that,
it's
not
about
individual
decision
making,
the
board
of
trustees
as
a
whole
have
a
collective
responsibility
to
come
to
decisions
about
their
investments,
and
that's
a
reminder
really
that
it's
not
just
about
the
finance
committee.
The
finance
committee
might
make
recommendations,
but
it's
then
about
the
board
of
trustees
really
coming
to
that
collective.
G
G
G
If
there's
anything
you
can
or
can't,
invest
in
or
anything
specifically
that
you
should
or
shouldn't
be
doing,
it
may
well
be
stated
within
this
document,
and
what
else
you
can
and
can't
invest
in
might
come
down
to
the
legal
form
of
the
charity
so
depending
on
whether
you
are
a
charitable
trust
or
a
skill.
The
legislation
behind
that
may
also
determine
what
you
can
encounter.
G
G
That
so,
if
you
have
taken
the
decision
to
invest
as
a
charity,
the
next
step
might
be
to
decide
whether
or
not
you
need
any
advice
or
help
in
making
those
investment
decisions
and
whether
you
need
to
help
or
not
might
depend
on
the
makeup
of
your
charity
board
whether
you
do
have
any
trustees
with
specific
knowledge.
Bearing
in
mind
it
is
an
equal
duty
and
responsibility
of
all
trustees.
G
If
you
do
need
that
advice,
then
where
do
you
go
to
for
and
there
are
independent
financial
advisors,
there
are
banks
and
there
are
investment
firms
that
specialize
in
providing
advice
to
charities.
So
there
is
lots
of
advice
out
there.
It's
just
making
sure
you
go
to
the
right
places
that
advice
is
proportionate
and
is
cost
effective.
Given
what
you're
trying
to
do.
G
Thinking
about
your
charities
purposes
and
how
to
connect
that
with
your
investments,
I
think
this
is
a
sign
of
how
things
have
moved
on.
At
one
stage,
charities
may
have
thought
about
their
investments
really
in
isolation
from
what
the
charity
really
was
there
to
do
in
terms
of
its
mission
and
purpose,
but
things
now
there's
a
possibility
of
connecting
much
more
closely
the
charity's
finances
and
its
investments
and
delivery
of
what
it's
really
trying
to
do.
G
It
may
be
in
deciding
to
invest
that
you're
looking
for
a
range
of
returns,
so
yes,
you're
looking
for
that
financial
return,
but
you're
also
looking
for
a
return,
perhaps
that
will
help
to
further
the
purposes
of
the
charity
or
indeed,
a
social
or
environmental
return,
regardless
of
what
type
of
return
you're
looking
for
now,
the
purpose
of
investing
ultimately
has
to
be
to
advance
your
charitable
purposes.
G
G
It's
important
for
charity
trustees
to
stay
up
to
date
as
well,
and
there's
lots
of
ways
to
do
this.
There's
events
free
training,
free
seminars,
in
particular
every
november
during
trustees
week
when
various
things
are
held
around
scotland,
but,
of
course,
with
the
internet.
There's
lots
available
online
to
be
able
to
just
at
the
click
of
a
button
stay
up
to
date,
with
whether
it's
blogs
or
new
updates,
for
example,
oscar's
own
blog
site
as
a
source
of
helping
you
as
a
trustee,
keep
on
top
of
what's
happening.
E
So
that's
it
and
I'm
gonna
stop
it
and
go
back,
so
I'm
gonna
stop
the
share
here.
So
on
page
18
of
the
packet
I
had
in
here
just
a
reference
to
my
memo
january
25th
2021,
where
it
said
that
the
library
trust
fund
should
have
its
own
charter
with
a
statement
of
purpose
objectives
and
investment
guidelines.
The
charter
should
state
the
type
of
library
projects
that
will
consider
funding
which
needs
special
approval.
If
any,
and
so
in
presenting
this,
I
think
they're
probably
going
forward.
E
There
should
be
maybe
a
goal,
I
think
you
know
or
a
series
of
goals
of
you
know
to
actually
set
some
policy
or
at
least
have
the
discussion
towards
setting
a
policy
of
what
it
is
that
the
that
you
know
the
the
in
in
the
inflows
and
the
outflows,
so
the
inflows
being
the
existing
money
and
how
it's
supposed
to
be
invested,
which
for
right
now
means
that
it's
been
held
by
the
city
and
it's
invested
very
conservatively.
E
The
outflows
to
consider
would
be
to
con
to
think
about
the
short-term
funding
needs
of
the
library
that
we
typically
finance,
like
the
the
kritzker
fund
or
some
of
the
usual
things
that
we
we
do
as
well
as
to
consider
the
long-term
purposes
of
whatever
expenditures
we
want
to
do,
because
I
don't
think
to
date.
E
We've
ever
really
put
those
to
paper,
and
I
think
it
would
be
useful
to
do
that,
because,
when
we
have
issues
of
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
pay
for
certain
items
like
capital
improvements
to
the
library,
we've
kind
of
done,
that
on
a
kind
of
ad
hoc
basis
and
had
a
discussion
as
opposed
to
referring
to
a
policy-
and
it
would
be
useful,
I
think-
for
people
to
actually
outside
of
this
board
of
trustees
to
actually
understand
what
our
policies
are
prior
to
making
a
request
of
of
the
library
trustees
to
finance
something
you
know
going
through
the
the
list
that
you
see
there.
E
Understanding
your
finances,
including
investments.
I
mean
that's
pretty
basic
right,
but
it's
really
about
being
actively
involved
check
your
investment
powers.
This
goes
back
to
the
idea
of
coming
up
with
kind
of
an
actual
statement
of
what
our
powers
are
are.
What
is
it
that
that
our
investment
goals
are
where
our?
E
What
are
we
going
to
do
in
terms
of
how
we're
going
to
use
the
funds?
Know
your
charity,
trustee
duties,
I
mean
we've.
Always
we
have
it
in
our
our
charter?
What
our
duties
are,
I
think
you'll
go.
You
can
go
back
to
the
january
25th
21
memo
that
showed
what
the
city
considers
the
duties
of
the
library
board
of
trustees.
That's
pretty
simple,
but
we
haven't
really
set
our
our
goals
or
our
our
duties
on
a
kind
of
fiduciary
basis
for
this
endowment
get
help
and
advice.
E
If
you
need
it
well,
that's
to
date,
we've
kind
of
relied
on
our
own
knowledge
and
advice
to
me
sometimes
going
to
the
city
treasury
treasurer,
but
there
are,
as
a
video
noted,
there's
a
lot
of
investment
advice.
That's
available
outside
of
the
city,
think
about
your
charities
purposes.
Well,
that
goes
again
back
to
the
the
idea
of
what
are
we
actually
spending
the
money
on
so
again,
a
statement
would
actually
be
useful
in
that
regards
thinking
about
the
range
of
investments.
E
Again,
some
of
the
things
you
know
today,
really
all
we've
been
doing-
is
really
going
for
a
risk-free,
very
liquid
type
of
investment
does.
Does
the
entire
portfolio
have
to
be
risk?
You
know
virtually
risk-free.
Does
the
entire
portfolio
have
to
be
very
liquid,
meaning
that
we
can
actually
convert
it
to
cash
very
quickly?
E
That
has
impact
on
the
return
that
you
make,
that
you
get
in
the
portfolio
or
in
the
trust,
understand
your
responsibilities
again.
That
probably
should
be
delineated
in
a
statement
of
some
sort
and
then
keeping
up
to
speed.
I
think
just
actually
engaging
in
this
conversation
and
actually
having
some
thoughts
about
what
it
is
that
we
really
ought
to
be
doing
as
trustees,
I
think,
is
really
a
first
step
in
that
regard.
E
It
says
what
is
an
investment
policy
statement
and
I
guess
the
last
one
was
a
five
minute
video.
This
one
is
a
three
minute
video.
So
if,
if
genie
could
share
the
screen
once
more-
and
I
can
do
that
again-
that
would
be
great.
A
H
Establishing
the
number
and
characteristics
of
offered
investment
options,
establishing
procedures
for
selection
monitoring
and,
if
appropriate,
replacing
investment
options.
Another
purpose
of
the
investment
policy
statement
is
to
provide
performance
and
risk
characteristics
for
each
asset
class
represented
by
various
investment
options.
H
H
Another
important
question
are
the
asset
class
guidelines.
What
broad
asset
classes
should
be
used
in
the
plan
to
meet
the
risk,
tolerance,
preferences
of
individual
plan
participants,
stable
value
and
or
money
market
funds,
bond
funds,
hybrid
equity
funds,
specialty
funds,
self-directed
brokerage
accounts,
company
stock
or
other
individual
securities?
H
E
But
this
is
going
back
to
having
this
written
document
which
they
are
calling
here.
An
investment
policy
statement
could
be
called
anything.
You
really
want
to
call
it,
but
it
could
be
called
like
you
know,
library,
trust
fund,
endowment
policy
statement,
but
basically
it's
really
saying,
as
it
says
here
in
the
first
one
one
of
the
things
that's
a
purpose,
which
is
attitudes,
expectations,
objectives
and
guidelines,
and
then
it
goes
through
some
of
these
guidelines
establishing
the
number
and
characteristics
of
investment
options
which
is
kind
of
delineated.
E
A
little
further
down
there.
Establishing
procedures
for
this
election
monitoring
and
replacement
of
investment
options,
which
is
so
important.
I
mean
we
were
just
talking
off
off
the
line
about
one
charity
who
decided
to
move
their
their
money
out
of
an
international
fund
and
put
it
into
a
domestic
fund
that
might
be
actually
something
where
you
need
to
have
a
procedure
for
that
replacement,
which
probably
means
a
meeting
of
an
investment
committee
or,
and
probably
what
would
prompt.
That
would
be.
E
The
idea
that
we
put
in
maybe
performance
guidelines
in
place-
and
there
might
be
a
an
investment
manager
or
some
person
in
the
trustees
who's
concerned
that
an
international
fund
is
probably
not
going
it's
going
to
be
a
dead
weight,
maybe
on
our
return
for
the
year,
so
that,
in
order
to
actually
meet
our
investment
goals,
we
need
to
move
out
of
that
particular
international
fund.
E
The
third
item:
there
was
providing
performance
and
risk
characteristics
for
each
asset
class,
presented
by
various
investment
options,
we'll
go
into
that
a
little
further
down
one
and
number
four,
so
investment
options.
What
are
the
goals
of
the
plan
right?
E
So
the
goals
of
the
plan
again
are
really
based
on
what
is
it
it
could
be
in
a
couple
of
different
things
I
mean
it
could
be
for
some
people
or
some
organizations
being
invested
in
socially
responsible
stocks
or
companies
is
an
important
investment
goal
which
might
be
even
in
addition
to
their
risk
characteristics
or
what
expected
rate
of
return
they
want
to
get.
So
these
are
all
things
to
consider
in
the
goals
of
the
plan
number
three
duties
and
responsibilities.
E
This
really
seems
to
be
driven
about
more
about
well,
who
is
really
handling
this
so
and
even
in
the
the
trustees
here
I
think
in
the
first
video
they
said
really
ultimate
authorities
with
the
entire
board
of
trustees
and
at
some
point
they
might
delegate
some
of
these
duties.
So
and
there
might
be
a
committee,
that's
formed
there
certainly
might
be
an
investment
advisor.
Certainly
if
it
goes
outside
of
the
city,
usually
a
bank
or
an
investment
bank
would
actually
provide
somebody
who's.
E
There's
a
custodian,
a
custodian
is
the
organization
or
people
that
actually
hold
the
assets
and
they're
an
important
group
of
people,
because
you
need
to
you
need
to
know
that
they're
responsible
and
can
move
the
assets
responsibly
and
with
the
authorities
that
the
board
of
trustees
give
it
a
record
keeper
administrator
so
important.
E
E
So,
if
you're
looking
at
this
list
here,
that's
going
from
a
to
g,
this
is
really
kind
of
going
from
what
we
would
consider
less
risky
investments
to
more
risky
investments,
but
also
you
could
characterize
it
as
being
going
from
low
return,
investments
to
higher
return
investments
or
at
least
potentially
higher
return,
investments,
stable
value
and
or
money
market
funds,
basically
is
like
cash
bond
funds.
If
it's
invested
in
high
grade
bonds,
typically
bond
funds
are
low.
G
E
And
very
low
return,
hybrid
funds.
That
just
means
it
has
a
mix
of
different
things.
It
could
have
some
of
the
less
risky
items
like
the
stable
value
or
money
market
funds
or
could
have
some
of
the
other
items
that
are
more
risky.
In
d
e,
f
g,
like
an
equity
fund
which
is
really
investing
in
the
equity
of
a
company,
for
example,
regular
stocks
specialty
funds-
those
could
be
things
that
have
asset
assets
that
could
consist
of
real
estate
or
hybrid
securities
oftentimes.
E
Those
things
have
higher
returns,
but
they
also
might
have
a
different
liquidity
so
to
get
those
returns,
so
you
may
not
be
able
to
liquidate
those
in
order
to
get
the
money
that
you
need
for
a
project
very
quickly,
but
the
benefit
of
having
invested
in
it
is
to
have
higher
returns.
Self-Directed
brokerage
accounts.
That's
pretty
much
what
it
says
there.
E
It's
just
a
match:
it's
really
taking
a
brokerage
account
and
having
you
direct
it
as
opposed
to
having
a
an
investment
advisor
or
an
investment
manager,
company
stock
or
other
individual
securities
and
again
those
are
things
and
that
you
could
have
invested
in
in
an
equity
fund,
which
means
that
it's
being
managed
by
somebody
else,
but
if
you're
actually
making
direct
investments
in
company
stock
or
individual
securities.
That
also
means
that
you're
responsible
for
getting
in
and
getting
out
of
those
positions.
E
So
that
again,
that
makes
it
important
to
know
what
your
policies
are
and
your
your
positions
about
when
to
liquidate
and
when
to
purchase
monitoring
and
control
procedures.
How
often
should
the
investment
committee
meet?
That's
that
could
be
very
important
as
depending
on
whether
or
not
you,
the
the
trustees
or
the
people
who
hired
an
investment
advisor
want
to
continue
to
continuously
meet
with
that
investment
advisor
for
as
far
as
we're
concerned.
E
Here,
it's
almost
as
if
we're
not
really
meeting
very
frequently
with
we're
we're
the
we're
the
library
board
of
trustees
as
the
the
investment
committee,
and
we
don't
really
meet
that
often
with
the
city
treasurer,
because
the
city
treasurer
submits
reports
to
the
city,
about
the
investments
that
they
make
and
they're
pretty
liquid
and
as
well
as
not
being
very
risky.
E
What
monitoring
criteria
will
be
used
to
monitor
the
investment
manager?
That's
also
a
very
important
part
of
the
document
and
when.
G
E
Making
the
decision
to
move
out
of
a
international
fund
into
a
domestic
fund
when
is
that,
when
is
that
warranted?
When
does
that
become
having
replaced
those
funds?
So
those
are
things
again
that
go
back
to
number
three
where
you
might
have
you
go
to
the
plan
committee.
Invest
in
decision
is
that
communicated
to
an
investment
advisor
the
investment
managers
and
the
custodian
and
the
record
keeper
all
responsible
for
moving
those
assets.
So
I
think
the
the
reason
why
I
came
up
with
this
presentation.
E
It
was
really
to
get
us
started
to
think
about
and
you
can
even
take
down
the
sharing
the
screen
I'm
done
with.
This
was
really
to
just
get
us
to
start
thinking
about
what
it
is
that
we
really
want
to
do
going
forward,
and
it's.
G
E
Of
work,
it's
a
lot
of
work
because
we
don't
have
a
policy
and
probably
if
we
did
approach
an
investment
advisor,
they
would
want
to
see
something
of
a
policy,
and
even
if
we,
I
would
certainly
recommend
that
we'd
actually
put
something
together.
Even
just
a
bare
bones
kind
of
policy,
because
I
think
even
an
investment
advisor
would
would
like
to
would
probably
help
in
terms
of
making
it
a
little
bit
sounder
or
maybe
even
could
actually
help
structure
it
too.
E
But
they
they
still
would
want
to
know
basic
things
about
what
kind
of
powers
we
have
and
what
powers
we
want
to
give
away
to
an
investment
advisor.
So-
and
I
I
think
going
forward
too,
you
might
want
to
have
you
know
somebody
else
come
in
and
make
future
presentations.
E
I
don't
know
I
might
you
know
you
might
go
to
another
municipality
or
have
somebody
who's
local
to
to
actually
come
in
and
talk
about
the
role
of
investment,
advisors
and
or
the
role,
more
importantly,
at
the
board
of
trustees
in
terms
of
managing
money
like
this,
so
that
you
are
further
informed
or
there
might
even
be
an
opportunity
for
the
city
or
genie
or
some
other
organization
within
the
city
to
actually
offer
some
kind
of
a
training
course
to
the
members
of
the
board
of
trustees
to
actually
attend
and
learn
more
about
fiduciary
responsibility
as
well
as
investment
policies.
E
D
D
I
don't
have
any
background
in
finance
at
all,
but
I
know
that
for
me
you
know,
even
in
in
our
personal
investments
and
our
family,
it's
really
important
that
we
invest
in
companies
that
we
believe
are
doing
something
good
for
the
planet
right
so
for
an
organization
like
the
public
library
to
be
to
take
that
time
to
really
investigate
or
really
think
about
how
those
monies
are
being
invested
and
where
I
think
is
really
important-
and
it's
it's
important
to
me
personally,
but
also,
I
think,
as
representatives
of
the
library
right
and
our
city,
that
we
need
to
think
about
those
things.
D
You
know
more,
the
more
purpose
so
that
we
can
have
a
bigger
business
than
just
making
more
money,
but
how
are
we
making
more
money?
So
thank
you.
That
was
great.
I
really
really
appreciate.
I
mean
it
was.
It
was
really
informative.
B
I
I'm
sitting
here
reflecting
I.
I
think
that
for
me
having
as
being
a
part
of
an
organization,
the
the
rotary
we,
the
local
rotary
group,
we
have
our
own
independent
foundation
from
the
rotary
foundation
international,
and
you
know
it's
it's
a
very
serious
task.
We
have
a
special
group
that
manages
that
from
our
membership
and
I've
learned
a
lot
from
seeing
them
work
and,
as
a
result,
they
had
a
very
good
year
because
of
really
smart
leadership
within
our
membership,
which
leads
me
to
think
that
you
know.
I.
B
I
think
that
this
is
a
jumping
off
point
for
this
group
to
have
this
discussion
about
what
it
hits
home.
When
you
talk
about
what
is
our
responsibility
here
and
what
do
we
think
our
responsibility
should
be
for
the
trust
fund
and
starting
there
with
that
discussion
and
trying
to
establish
a
basic
policy,
I
think
is,
is
just
fundamental
from
what
you
know.
B
I've
learned
from
this-
and
I
think
that's
our
our
next
steps
is
that
we
should
start
looking
at
that,
and
you
know,
ask
ourselves,
you
know
I
I'm
kind
of
beyond
the
question
of.
Should
we
be
a
part
of
the
city
or
not?
I
think
that
we
have
to
first
figure
out
what
we
want
to
do
and
how
we
want
to
we're
we're
named
as
we're
responsible
for
this
money.
So
I
think
we
have
to
decide.
B
You
know
what
does
that
responsibility
mean
in
terms
of
our
what
our
I'm
sorry,
I'm
looking
for
the
word
that
was
used
here,
which
I
rang
home
with
the
outlining
the
responsibility
of
the
duties
and
responsibilities
of
the
trustees.
So
I
think
that's
we've
never
really
had
that
in-depth
discussion.
I
think
it's
time
for
us
to
have
that
discussion
as
well.
B
So
I
think
that
our
next
steps
is
our.
This
is
something
that's
on
our
agenda
for
you
know
from
now
on,
so
I
think
that
we
probably
should
take
what
we
have
learned
here
from
trustee
kelly
and
start
opening
up
the
discussion
on
our
next
agenda
and
identify
either
we
as
a
group
or
do
we
want
to
have
a
small
group,
go
off
and
work
on
some
of
these
things
and
come
back
to
us.
The
way
I
look
at
the
trust
fund
is
our
responsibility
right
now.
B
B
B
C
C
We
we
need
to
define
that
the
other
thing
I'm
thinking
about-
and
this
is
down
the
line
this
is
not
now,
but
how
we
break
up
certain
money
so
that
we
are
liquid.
You
know
how
much
of
this
fund
do.
We
want
to
be
liquid
and
how
much
do
we
want
to
be
long-term
invested
and
those
are
things
that
we
can
come
up
with
later
on.
I
tend
to
be
fiscally
conservative,
but
what
we're
invested
in
right
now
is
a
little
bit
too
conservative
for
mine.
B
Well,
I
also
think
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
engage
our
new
city
manager,
as
he
mentioned
in
his
introductory
remarks,
that
he
has
a
different
exposure
and
different
experience
that
we
probably
have
never
had
access
to
as
well.
Now
you
know
I
I
was
a
huge
fan
of
dr
reddy,
and
I
know
that
you
know
he.
He
did
a
lot
of
great
things,
but
we
now
have
someone.
B
Who's
worked
with
various
foundations
worked
with
libraries,
so
you
know
he
may
have
a
different,
unique
view
on
this
or
a
different
view,
and
I
think
engaging
him
as
well,
because
I
I
I
think
that
if
the
decision
was
to
to
go
on
as
independent
and
take
this
money
and
put
it
somewhere
outside
the
city,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
at
least
someone
is
coming
along
with
us,
so
that
it's
not
this
huge
surprise.
When
we
knocked
on
the
door
and
said,
would
you
mind
writing
us
a
check
for
1.8
million
dollars?
B
I
think
that
you
know
having
having
them
come
along,
because
it's
my
experience
with
most
the
people
I've
worked
with
in
the
city.
They'll
support
it
if
they
feel
it's
the
right
thing
to
do
for
the
community,
and
I
think
that
that's
what
we
can
you
know
strive
to
to
uncover,
or
is
there
a
remote
possibility
now
that
we
establish
a
policy?
B
E
A
See,
like
you
said
it's
we
I
don't
know
I
I
can.
C
B
That
would
be
an
option,
but
I
I
mean
I
think
that
we
we've
got
the
research
we've
got
the
history
to
go
and
show
that
the
money
was
originally
managed
by
an
independent
group,
the
board
of
trustees
and
was
given
to
the
city
at
some
point
for
good
reasons,
and
now
the
reason
may
not
be
so
good
it
needs.
We
need
to
do
other
things.
I
mean,
I
think,
that's
the
conversation
I
mean
I
mean
I
there
could
be
a
little
bit
of
a
fight
to
maybe
you
know
they
might
say.
B
A
And
so
what
I
know
about
historically
even
in
the
last
20
years,
was
that
sometimes
the
trustees
were
more
involved
in
the
investments
that
were
made
with
the
trust
fund
under
the
city's
umbrella.
So.
G
A
Meet
with
the
with
the
finance
department
and
did
set
investment
policies
or
certain
investments,
and
they
they
might
have
said
we
want
to
invest
in
x
and
then
the
city
would
do
that.
That
hasn't
happened
at
least
as
long
as
I've
been
here.
So
I've
been
here
eight
and
a
half
years,
and
that
was
has
never
been
the
case
since
I've
been
here.
B
I
I
think
that
the
education
that
we've
started
on
this
journey
of
educating
ourselves
around
this
is
the
first
step.
I
I
before
you
even
have
a
conversation
with
the
city.
I
think,
if
we
come
to
them
in
a
much
more
educated,
different
position
of
you
know
we're
working
hard
to
understand
the
responsibility
and
here's
what
we're
committed
to.
I
think
that's
a
much
better
start
conversation
with
them.
I
have
no
idea
what
those
conversations
in
the
past
could
have
been.
You
know
it
could
have
been.
Oh
we're
managing.
B
We
want
our
money
back,
but
it
could.
You
know,
I
think,
if
there
was
justifiable
reason
tied
to
goals
that
the
city
would
agree.
I
mean
we
all
know
that
you
know
someday.
We
want
a
new
library.
Is
that
is
that
a
common
denominator?
You
know
that
we
feel
that
we
can
do
a
better
job
in
preparing
for
that
endeavor,
especially
in
light
of,
I
don't
think,
there's
another
city
department
that
has
two
other
fundraising
arms.
B
In
addition
to
us,
that's
all
about
raising
money
for
the
library
there's
a
lot
of
money
that
is
raised
for
the
library,
and
I
think
that
that's
another
aspect
that
I'm
sure
they'd
recognize
right.
E
I
think
it
would
be
a
great
idea
if
you
guys,
I'm
saying
you
guys,
because
I'm
moving
I
just
caught
that.
E
So
I
just
don't
be
cagey
about
that,
but
I
think
going
forward.
What
should
happen
is
maybe
a
conversation
with
the
foundation
and
the
trustees,
maybe
to
actually
consider
engaging
a
financial
advisor
or
somebody
who
has
some
experience
with
writing
investment
policies
to
give
a
presentation
to
all
three
organizations.
I
think
all
of
all
of
the
organizations
that
are
raising
money
for
the
library
should
actually
be
listening
to
somebody
actually
make
this
pitch.
I
you
know
from
my
experience
and
listening
to
what's
been
going
on
at
the
the
friends.
E
They
don't
do
a
very
sophisticated
way,
and
I
and
I
I
would
doubt
that
they
have
an
investment
policy
either.
So
I
think,
having
somebody
you
know
to
tell
folks
about
the
fiduciary
responsibilities
of
members
of
boards
towards
their
financial
assets.
I
think,
would
be
something
that
all
three
organizations
could
invest
in
and
and
benefit
from
hearing.
B
B
A
B
C
Sorry,
then
we
can
sit
down
and
each
write
our
separate
three
policies,
but.
A
And
I
feel
like
maybe
that
was
discussed
at
the
foundation
level
and
not
at
this
meeting
or
not
with
this
group.
Does
that
sound
right?
It.
B
Might
be
so
if
I
can
channel
that
again,
the
I
think
that's
the.
In
light
of
the
recent
request
to
the
foundation,
we
have
foundation
board
members
asking
the
same
kind
of
question.
Okay.
So
what
what
are
we,
especially
if
we're
going
to
go
out
and
raise
money
with
the
donor
list
that
they're
creating
in
those
tools?
B
I
I
think
they
want
some
clarity,
because
there
was
a
meeting
between
the
friends
and
the
foundation
right
and
it
kind
of
became
evident
that
we
need
some
clarification
for
everybody,
and
I
think
we,
the
the
discussion,
was,
do
we
want
to
have
all
of
us
as
trustees
participate
and
if
we
do,
that
means
it's
an
open
meeting
which
it's
fine
or
do
we
want
to
have
representatives
from
each
group
come
together
and
keep
it
as
a
exploratory
meeting.
B
E
I
would
definitely
recommend
everybody.
I
think
everybody
here
has
a
fiduciary
responsibility,
and
you
know
if
it
has
to
be
an
open
meeting,
I
think
probably
it
would
it
would
make.
I
would
probably
put
it
into
the
context
of
a
training
meeting,
because
about
two
years
ago,
when
or
like
I
think
periodically
when
you
know
before.
G
E
We
used
to
be
able
to
have
training
meetings
for
city
officials
like
ourselves
in
the
palm
springs
convention
center,
so
there
would
be
an
attorney
who
would.
E
Know
about
the
brown
act,
for
example.
This
is
probably
something
of
that
nature
where
you
know
if
we
got
found.
Somebody
to
you
know
the
three
organizations
hired
somebody
to
talk
to
us
about
investment
policy
statements
and
and
made
it
a
training
session
and
invited
all
of
these
people.
Then
I
don't
know
whether
or
not
that's
that's
not
really
a
public
meeting,
but
I
I
do
think
that
the
other
part
of
the
issue
about
the
you
know
having
the
three
organizations
meet
together.
E
A
B
Well,
I
mean
we've
heard
the
city
say
this
is
public
money.
I
mean
it
came
from
members
of
the
public
through
the
history,
so
we
know
that
so
I
think
that's
going
to
be
the
stand.
The
city
will
look
at
and
say
we're
talking
about
public
money
and
I
I
think
you're
going
to
have
to
have
discussions
in
the
public
and
see
what
they
want.
They'll,
how
they
want
want
to
move
forward.
E
B
And
I've
always
said
we
have
the
luxury
that
each
organization
has
money.
You
know
so
we're
in
a
wonderful
position,
there's
so
many
communities
that
aren't
that
lucky.
So
I
think
it's
even
more
important
that
how
can
we
take
that
and
grow
make
more
money?
You
know
and
and
really
achieve
some
of
the
goals
that
we
have
for
the
library
or
junior
has
for
the
library,
so
great
discussion,
everyone,
but
the
the
clock
is
ticking.
So
can
we
move
on
to
the
next
and
on
the
agenda
for
our
next
agenda?
B
Let's,
let's
put
on
here
our
initial
discussion
about
how
we
want
to
move
forward
with
drafting
an
investment
policy
and
starting
to
define
the
roles
and
responsibilities
of
the
trustees.
When
it
comes
to
that
policy,
I
will
I'll
reach
out
to
the
president
of
the
foundation
and
the
president
of
the
friends
and
see
what
they
think
about
a
joint
meeting.
If
you
guys
are
okay
with
that
and
start
working
on
on
that
happening
as
well.
So.
B
A
D
B
E
B
D
A
They
sent
out
a
list
of
holidays
that
are
upcoming
celebrations,
and
they
just
said
these
are
ones
to
consider
and
look
at.
A
B
Do
we
feel
that
we
would
offend
someone
if
we
met
on
the
fifth
and,
and
you
know,
and
someone
in
our
community
would
it
I
don't.
I
don't
know.
D
B
Okay,
can
everyone
hold
off
to
have
margaritas
till
after
this
meeting
then
or
do
we
have
margaritas
with
this
meeting?
I
guess
it's
gonna
be
kind
of
hard
to
do.
Okay,
I
let's,
let's,
let's
just
take
a
real
quick
vote.
If
you'd
like
for
us
to
keep
the
meeting
on
the
fifth
and
or
d,
would
you
like
for
us
to
change
it
and
and
give
you
know
we
want
to
change
it
by
a
day
or
a
week.
So
can
we
take
a
roll
call,
real,
quick,
I'm
sure.
C
I
have
to
go
first,
I
have
to
I'm
just
thinking
what
our
other
options
are.
Do
we
need
to
have
the
meeting
or
we.
C
B
A
D
A
A
G
C
A
Okay,
we
drafted
this
policy.
We
copied
some
other
libraries
and
went
with
the
public
library
association's
recommendations
on
a
policy.
We
need
a
policy
so
that
we
can
enforce
it,
and
I
bring
this
before
you
we
will
do.
There
are
some
minor
tricks
that
we
need
to
do
instead
of
the
word
hot
spot.
We
need
to
call
it
a
hot
spot
kit.
A
So
if
you're,
okay
with
trusting
us
to
fix
those
minor
issues,
I
would
request.
A
G
B
I
have
a
question
genie.
You've
already
answered,
one
of
them,
so
you're
you're
on
a
roll.
Is
there
anything
unique
about
this
particular
policy
as
compared
to
our
other
collections
or
other
policies
that
we
have?
Will
you
be
introducing
something
we've
never
had
before
or
is
it?
Is
it
loosely
are
very
much
based
on
our
current
policy.
The
way
we
learned
items.
A
That's
an
excellent
question:
the
mobile
hotspot
kits
are
a
completely
new
product
for
us.
We
plan
to
circulate
it.
Similarly
to
any
other
library
items
we're
going
to
circulate
it
for
two
weeks.
Just
like
our
other
items,
the
customers
have
exactly
the
same
amount
of
time
to
pick
up
their
hold.
So
that's
the
same.
A
They
need
to
return
their
items.
We
are
fine
free,
but
if
you
do
not
return
the
item,
there
is
one
one
difference,
but
if
you
turn
the
item
items
now,
and
they
are
overdue
more
than
30
days,
we
charge
you
the
price
of
the
item.
A
However,
then,
if
you
bring
it
back,
then
we
waive
that
fee.
So
this
policy,
we
set
the
overdue
lost
time
at
14
days,
because
these
are
80
devices
and
we
expect
them
to
be
in
extremely.
A
And
we
don't
want
someone
to
take
off
with
the
device
honestly
and
not
bring
it
back.
We
have
the
ability
to
turn
these
off
immediately
if
they're
not
returned
on
time.
So
it's
it's
worthless
to
someone
to
keep
it.
A
So
everything
else
is
very,
very
similar
to
our
other
policies,
bring
it
back.
B
The
reason
I
ask
is,
I
can
remember,
is
about
the
library,
administrator
or
library
user.
You
know
when
you
have
multiple
policies
that
have
different
dates
and
different
loan
periods,
and
it
just
gets
confusing,
because
you
know
parents
can't
can't
keep
up
with
that,
take
books
and
take
a
hot
spot
one's
due
in
21
days,
one's
doing
14..
Oh
my
gosh,
you
know
that's
just
one
more
task.
Why
do
I
want
these?
That's
that's
really
why
I'm
asking
is.
B
A
Yeah
we
circulate
everything
for
two
weeks
when
I
got
here,
we
had
a
dvd
policy
that
was
seven
days
and
it
was
a
dollar
a
day
overdue.
Instead
of
a.
G
A
No
we're
ready
to
roll
we've
got
the
we've
got
them.
We're
ready
to
start
this
as
soon
as
we
get
a
policy.
E
A
E
A
A
The
vehicle
is
it's
a
public
document
and
we
do
have
our
fees
rolled
into
that.
When
we
did,
we
haven't
changed
our
fees
in
a
while.
We
could
bring
those
to
the
trustees.
I
think
it's
been
a
while,
but
you
do
approve
all
the
policies
and
the
fees
the
city.
The
one
thing
about
the
city,
though,
is
that
they
set
price
increases
based
on
the
consumer
effects
and
they
haven't
done
that
increase
in
a
company
it's
this
year.
They
haven't
because
of
the
because
of
cobit
and
whatnot.
So.
E
So
how
does
it
says,
how
does
this
fee
get
implemented
as
far
as
the
city's
master
fee
schedule?
Is
there
somebody
else
that
you're
going
to
once
you
decide
to
update
this
policy
statement
to
fit
how
you
feel
does
palm
springs?
Public
library
would
use
such
a
form?
Is
there
somebody
else
like
in
the
city's
clerk
office
that
needs
to
review
this
and
then
put
it
into
the
master
fee
schedule.
A
Yeah
yeah
in
the
clerk's
office,
we
do
they
send
us
the
chart
and
we
make
sure
that
it's
accurate
and
so
yes,
the
the
finance
department,
manages
the
fee
charge
with
the
structure.
E
The
funny
thing
was
is
that
I
I
don't
know
what
this
whole
thing
looks
like,
but
I
imagine
some
changes
were
made
when
the
decision
was
made
to
to
abandon
all
fees
for
the
public
library
that
we
were
not
going
to
collect
fees
any
longer
from
people
and
instead,
if
they
just
were.
A
Right
there
is
a
procedure
policy
in
here
that
says
that
if
the
item
is
for
long
overdue
that
it
they
do
get
charged
the
cost
of
the
item
and
so
that
cost
isn't
a
set
dollar
amount,
because
each
item
is
worth
something
different.
So
this
is
just
considered
like
another
item
in
the
library
and
it
just
happens
to
cost
eighty
dollars
to
replace
it.
A
So
we
do
have
items
that
cost
more
than
that
here,
dvd
tv
series-
or
you
know
some
extensive
reference
books,
but
but
so
technically,
there's
not
any
change
to
the
fee
schedule.
A
Yeah,
there's
nothing
that
we
would
have
to
do,
because
we
would
just
have
a
new
physical
item
and
its
value
is
attached
to
its
item
record
in
our
computer,
so
that
would
just
adapt
so
nothing
to
change
on
that
aspect.
B
So
once
we
approve
this,
the
resolution
that's
attached,
much
like
any
resolution
when
you
eliminated
fees
and
fines
you
forward
over
to
the
city
clerk
and
it
becomes
an
item
on
the
council
agenda.
Usually
it's
it's
on
the
consent
calendar
is
or
do
you
have
to
discuss
it?
It's
really
just
on
the
consent.
Calendar
right.
A
C
E
E
A
I
was
saying
that
we
will
translate
it
into
spanish
once
it's
finalized
and.
B
B
I
did
you
did
I'm
sorry,
let's
do
a
roll
call,
then.
D
A
I
just
wanted
to
take
this
opportunity
to
acknowledge
that
we
received
two
donations
in
your
packet.
You
have
copies
of
the
thank
you
letters
we
have.
We
received
a
100
donation
from
alpha
delta,
kappa
they're,
consistent
donors
every
year,
very
grateful
to
that
organization,
and
then
we
received
a
donation
of
fifty
dollars
from
ann
rogers
rhyme
and
richard
ryan.
So
we
want
to
say
thank
you
to
them
as
well.
A
B
So
next
item
stress
trustee
staff
comments
future
agenda
items.
Do
we
have.
C
Anything
all
right,
just
a
question
dave,
don't
mean
to
put
you
on
the
spot,
but
we
had
talked
earlier
about
you're
talking
to
melissa
regarding
being
interested
in
being
the
treasurer.
E
We
just
never
talked
so.
I
think
that
conversation
needs
to
start
up
again
so
and
it
doesn't
necessarily
need
to
be
melissa.
It
could
be
you,
it
could
be
juanita.
There
are
other
people
here
who
haven't
served
and
a
matter
of
fact.
When
I
came
on
to
the
board
I
was
elected
treasurer,
so
I
don't
know
who
you
may
be
considering,
but
you
might
find
somebody
who
might
be
worthy
of
being
a
treasurer
right
from
day
one.
So
you
might
want
to
wait
till
then.
Okay,.
A
Well,
I
have
I,
you
know
what
I
discovered
was
that
they
are
making
them
public
meetings
and
putting
them
on
youtube
the
interviews,
but
I
didn't
see
that
interviewed
anybody
on
for
the
trump
for
the
library
board
of
trustees,
but
I
did
see
others
and
at
the
council
meeting
tomorrow
night
they
are
going
to
appoint
several
people,
so
I
I'm
hopeful
that
they'll
get
the
board
of
trust
the
library
board
of
trustees
in
a
future
group,
but
it's
public.
It's
something
new!
I've
never
seen
that
before.
B
So
do
we
need
to
do
any,
or
do
you
need
to
do
anything
or
have
you
submitted
the
paperwork
already?
Let
them
know
that.
A
E
I
don't
have
ed
as,
as
president
haven't
you
been
involved
with
all
those
interviews
in
the
past
I
mean,
are
they?
Are
they
writing
you
out
of
this
situation
now.
B
B
B
A
You
can
see
that
they've
got
a
a
couple
of
commissioners
at
each
one
and
the
full
council.
I
believe.
G
B
I
won't
be
up,
I
won't
be
up
again,
so
that's
the
rest
of
you
guys.
Okay,
that's
interesting!
Any
other
future
agenda
items
or
anything
to
discuss.
B
B
B
Yeah,
please
let
us
know
and
good
luck
so
listed
during
this
meeting
of
the
palm
springs
public
library
board
of
trustees
at
7
22
p.m.
Thank
you
all
very
much
for
your
service.
I
appreciate
it.
Thank.
