If
you're
interested
in
donating
money
to
kauai
us
at
the
end
of
the
year,
it's
still
up
it's
the
top
post
on
our
facebook
or
on
our
might
still
be
the
top
post
on
our
facebook,
but
it's
definitely
the
top
post
on
the
blog
on
the
website
2021
membership.
John,
did
you
want
to
talk
about
membership,
you're,
muted,.
B
You
do
not
need
to
wait
for
that
invitation.
You
can
actually
go
to
join
koha
us
on
our
website
and
you
can
go
ahead
and
fill
that
out.
But
it's
a
lot
easier
if
you
wait
for
your
renewal
invitation,
because
if
your
renewal
invitation
has
everything
correct,
it's
really
just
a
quick
matter
of
clicks,
because
you're
confirming
that
everything
we
have
is
correct
for
you.
B
I'm
just
going
to
go
ahead
and
generate
one
for
everybody
now,
but
in
your
in
your
google
form
confirmation
there
is
a
paypal
link,
you'll
get
another
paypal,
link
or
you'll,
find
the
paypal
link
on
that
invoice.
If
you
haven't
already
paid
you'll
also
find
the
paypal
link
in
the
invitation
to
renew
there's
lots
of
ways
to
pay
for
paypal,
because
paypal
helps
keep
things.
Nice
and
simple.
New
members
are
also
welcome
to
join,
not
just
renewals
at
this
time.
B
C
A
Okay,
thanks
george
next
up,
we've
got
election
results,
so
we
have
our
newly
elected
board
members.
Barbara
johnson
won
the
vice
presidency.
Yay
barbara
and
our
new
members
take
effect
new
board
members.
It's
like
at
the
end
of
this
meeting
is
when
the
changeover
happens
and
we
have.
We
either
have
meetings
or
we'll
be
scheduling.
Meetings
with,
like
I
have
a
meeting
scheduled
with
rhonda
to
get
things
transferred
over
and
we're
also
everyone's
scheduling
meetings
with
their
counterparts,
so
we
also
have
bob
benhoff
is
going
to
be
our
new
supported
member
larch.
A
C
A
D
A
B
B
The
highlights
basically
focus
on
the
fact
that,
unlike
other
board
positions
that
can
not
that
can
self-nominate
or
can
allow
anyone
to
nominate
for
them.
The
financial
manager
position
is
a
board
nominated
position.
The
current
board
can
make
a
recommendation
for
the
position
of
financial
manager,
which
is
then
set
forward
to
the
membership
for
approval.
According
to
standard
koha
us
voting
guidelines,
it
is
also
an
open-ended
position.
The
other
positions
on
the
board
do
have
finite
terms.
B
This
is
a
voting
position
which,
when
fully
when
the
board
is
fully
voting
and
has
100
attendance
means
there
can
no
longer
be
a
tie
which
had
been
a
concern
of
previous
presidents,
not
that
this
board
or
this
organization
generally
does
anything
contentious
or
does
a
lot,
but
it
was
possible
to
tie
having
the
financial
manager
serve
as
a
voting
board.
Member
brings
us
to
a
seven
votes
with
no
abstentions
means.
Of
course,
there
cannot
be
a
tie.
B
B
There
is
a
delineation
of
responsibilities
outlined
in
the
proposed
bylaws
changes.
It
basically
boils
down
to
the
mechanics
and
the
day-to-day
stuff
is
handled
by
the
financial
manager,
the
overarching
larger
scale,
goals
of
working
on
budgets.
Writing
the
monthly
finance
committee
reports
and
sharing
the
finance
committee
proper
is
to
be
done
by
the
treasurer
in
the
event
that
something
comes
up
that
does
not
specifically
handled
or
mentioned
in
the
bylaws
that
defaults
to
the
treasurer's
responsibility.
B
B
The
board
nominates
somebody
from
among
its
own
remaining
members
to
take
over
the
functions
of
both
positions
until
the
time
that
one
of
them
is
able
to
be
suited
for
those
of
you
that
read
last
month's
proposed
changes
to
the
bylaws.
This
is
the
only
change
made
to
them.
This
was
based
on
the
discussion
that
we
had
last
month
at
the
general
meeting.
The
original
proposal
called
for
the
vice
president
to
take
over
all
of
these
responsibilities
and
upon
consultation
and
discussion
at
last
month's
general
meeting.
B
We
decided
that
that
was
probably
not
the
best
idea,
because
it's
very
possible
that
the
treasurer
and
the
vice
president
would
be
rotating
off
and
then
rotating
on.
At
the
same
time,
this
requirement
would
have
a
brand
new
vice
president,
conceivably
taking
over
all
of
this
additional
responsibility,
in
addition
to
their
elected
role
of
vice
president.
So
this
change
was
made
and
is
reflected
in
the
proposed
bylaws
changes.
B
The
proposal
was
linked
to
the
minutes.
This
is
really
not
an
opportunity
to
talk
about
proposed
changes.
That's
what
last
month
was
for,
but
the
final
version
is
available
for
you
here
when
voting
opens
for
this
proposal
of
bylaws
changes
which,
by
recollection
of
last
week's
board
meeting,
will
happen
very
soon,
and
I
will
know
we
talked
about
last
week
at
the
board
meeting
and
lizette
wrote
down
a
whole
listing
of
dates
as
to
when
things
would
happen.
B
With
regards
to
this
position,
lizette
will
open
up
the
voting
very
shortly
and,
if
passed,
the
creation
of
the
financial
position
manager
position
would
be
immediate
and
then
the
board
can
go
ahead
and
make
any
recommendation
it
has
for
the
filling
of
that
financial
position.
If
they
decide
to
fill
the
financial
manager
position.
It
then
goes
to
the
the
current
membership
which,
by
the
timeline
we
constructed
last
week,
would
still
be
the
2020
membership
for
ratification,
and
the
proceeding
of
the
financial
manager
would
then
be
immediate.
B
A
Members
should
have
got
a
link
last
week
to
the
link
to
the
proposed
changes
and
then
sometime
today,
hopefully
right
after
this
meeting,
but
depending
on
how
my
other
meeting
goes.
It
might
get
pushed
down
to
this
afternoon.
I'll
send
out
the
form
to
everybody
and
that'll
include
the
dates
which
that
it's
not
right
in
front
of
me
right
now,
but
I
believe
we're
going
to
keep
it
open
for
a
week
and
then.
B
Yes,
that
that
that
is
correct,
the
the
bylaws
with
regard
to
voting
specify,
we
need
to
keep
something
open
for
at
least
one
week,
but
koha
us
traditionally
has
kept
things
open
for
two
weeks.
This
will
be
the
shorter
length
of
time
of
just
the
required
one
week.
So
do
pay
attention
to
that.
If
you
are
interested
in
voting
on
these
proposed
bylaws
changes.
A
Yeah,
so
we
did
one
week
and
then
assuming
the
board's
gonna
make
a
nomination
like
the
first
day
that
they
can.
Assuming
that
it
passes,
then
a
email
about
opening
voted
would
go
out
on
the
17th
voting
would
open
on
the
24th,
and
then
we
were
going
to
keep
it
open
for
two
weeks
because
there's
holidays
in
there
until
like
the
7th
or
did
we,
we
might
have
said
the
fifth
so
that
it
would
be
done
for
the
board
meeting
on
the
sixth.
But
then
there's
a
couple
days
after
the
holidays.
E
A
B
A
A
Development
meeting
committee
we
talked
about
part
of
it
and
we'll
have
ronda
talk
about
the
process.
When
she
comes
the
education
committee,
we
have
our
upcoming
webinar
with
george
next
week.
We
did
postpone
our
curbside
webinar.
That
was
going
to
be
yesterday
because
some
of
the
libraries
involved
were
closing
and
it
wasn't
good
timing
for
them,
and
so
I
think
we're
going
to
try
to
reschedule
that
for
early
mid-january
and
we'll
let
you
know
when
we
have
a
new
date
for
that
anything
else,
jason
that
we
should
share
from
that
meeting.
D
D
C
And
I
guess
the
other
big
thing
that
the
education
committee
has
started
talking
about
is
how
to
handle
mentorship
for
2021
at
this
meeting
next
week,
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
kind
of
a
plan
for
new
members
joining
that
might
want
a
mentor
and
also
an
onboarding
process
for
new
mentees,
and
then
I
believe,
we're
we
talked
about
switching
chairs
there
too,
as
well.
I
think
heather
volunteered
to
chair
the
education
committee
after
the
first
of
the
year,
so
thank
you.
Heather.
E
A
B
Finance
committee
report,
as
linked
into
the
agenda
we've
got
a
membership
count
of
83
and
that
is
actually
the
final.
The
final
membership
count
for
the
year.
That's
a
good
number
to
have.
We
didn't
quite
make
90,
but
then
again
we
didn't
have
our
in-person
conference.
That
generally
contributes
a
number
of
half
year
memberships.
So,
despite
not
meeting
our
membership
goal,
we
still
did
very
well
membership,
wise,
not
a
whole
lot
of
activity.
B
If
you
look
at
the
statement
and
you
look
down
at
the
preliminary
november
activity,
all
of
the
expense
that
you
see
is
related
to
marketing
marketing,
in
particular.
With
regard
to
the
virtual
conference,
we
have
our
sticker
mule
hex
stickers.
We
have
our
envelopes,
but
we're
not
really
supposed
to
go
to
the
post
office.
So
I
can't
mail
anything,
especially
because
I've
got
to
weigh
and
figure
out
what
the
break-even
point
is
between
stuff
that
will
fit
in
a
one-ounce
or
less
and
requires
no
additional
postage
versus
things
that
do
so.
B
That's
most
of
the
expense
for
conference
related
marketing.
The
postage
itself
will
be
the
final
expense
that
expense
is
estimated
to
be
about
85
dollars.
Based
on
math
that
I
had
done
about
a
month
and
a
half
ago,
a
few
other
things
to
note,
we
did
get
our
quarterly
amazon
smile
donation,
88.99,
97
cents,
total
receipts
for
the
year
314
and
60
cents.
B
B
B
B
Those
of
you
that
have
been
following
kohai
us
budgets
will
realize
that
this
budget
is
significantly
smaller,
35
percent,
smaller,
in
fact,
with
an
estimated
income
and
expense
for
the
upcoming
membership
year
of
four
thousand
seven
hundred
twenty
five
dollars
a
decrease
of
about
thirty
five
percent.
We
don't
know
a
whole
lot
right
now.
When
this
budget,
the
current
budget,
the
2020
budget,
was
written,
we
were
all
still
at
work.
B
The
contracted
budget
from
the
current
membership
year
reflects
that,
despite
that,
overall
contraction
in
budget,
it's
worth
noting
that
the
2021
budget
poses
or
presents
a
43
increase
in
the
discretionary
fund
amount,
that
is
to
save
the
money
that
is
left
over
at
the
end
of
the
year.
How
can
that
be?
We've
shrunk,
the
budget
by
35
that
doesn't
make
any
sense
it
does
when
you
consider
that
we
rolled
over
a
significant
expense
from
2020
into
2021
the
money
that
we
paid
to
ala
for
exhibition
space.
At
the
annual
conference.
B
We
had
the
opportunity
to
refund
it.
The
board
decided
to
roll
that
money
forward
because
it
is
being
held
in
chicago
again,
just
by
coincidence,
not
because
of
the
pandemic,
and
the
rolling
forward
of
that
amount
allows
us
to
put
more
money
projected
money
into
the
discretionary
coffers
at
the
end
of
membership
year.
2021.
B
membership
is
projected
to
be
down,
but
not
too
significantly
from
current
membership
numbers
conference
registrations
are
expected
to
go
down
as
well.
These
are
the
two
largest
sources
of
our
income.
Every
year,
the
amazon
smile
donation
was
also
significantly
reduced.
That
has
really
nothing
to
do
with
the
pandemic,
but
everything
to
do
with
the
fact
that
we
didn't
even
come
close
to
meeting
the
2020
amazon
smile
budget,
keep
in
mind
that
number
one.
B
B
conference
expenses.
I
kept
those
basically
the
same
assuming
an
in-person
conference,
assuming
everything
else,
the
same
for
what
was
supposed
to
happen
this
year
in
mckinney
allowed
me
to
keep
all
of
those
projected
expenses
the
same
so
that
you
won't
see
any
new
changes
there.
The
membership
I
talked
about.
Membership
going
down
the
membership
numbers
assume
a
renewal
rate
of
just
around
70,
which
was
actually
the
renewal
rate
from
2019
to
2020..
B
It
also
assumes
two,
I'm
sorry,
ten
new
full
year
members,
along
with
ten
new
half
year
members
and
again
most
of
those
half
new
memberships
coming
along
the
lines
of
the
hopefully
in
person
conference
membership
rates
are
actually
set
by
the
bylaws.
We
can't
just
change
them,
and
so
they
will
remain
25
for
a
full
year,
that
is
to
say
the
full
calendar
year
july,
1st.
That
rate
goes
down
in
half
to
12.50
and
again
that's
a
bylaw
set
rate
that
would
require
vote
by
the
membership.
B
C
A
C
B
A
A
And
then
voting
will
open
in
a
week.
We
wanted
to
do
it
tomorrow,
so
there's
not
like
as
because
so
there's
not
a
whole
lot
of
overlapping,
of
which
email
has
which
vote
information
since
we've
also
are
opening
the
financial
manager.
Bylaw
changes
vote
today,
we'll
open
the
update
for
development
proposals
tomorrow.
A
A
The
following
must
be
submitted
description,
number
of
the
bug
in
bugzilla
and
either
a
quote
for
the
work
or
enough
information
to
complete
to
get
quotes
so
that
we
don't
have
to
be
going
back
and
asking
questions
for
the
most
part,
so
as
much
information
as
possible,
then
the
development
committee
would
vet.
The
proposal
consider
things
like
broad
appeal
types
of
libraries
that
would
benefit
et
cetera
and
if
no
quote
is
given
then
get
one
at
that
point,
and
then
the
development
committee
would
determine
the
maximum
percentage
that
koha
us
would
fund.
A
A
Our
like
we're
willing
to
pay
this
much.
We
need
at
least
this
much
funding
additionally,
either
through
co-sponsors
or
through
donations,
which
would
also
give
like
the
fundraising
committee
could
point
at
this
and
say,
like
you,
can
donate
money
towards
these
bugs
as
part
of
fundraising
drives
or
towards
getting
these
bugs
fixed.
A
The
donation
threshold
for
adding
other
sponsored
bylines,
we
decided
was
either
25
or
a
thousand
dollars
depending
on
the
development.
So
if
we're
trying
to
get,
you
know
like
a
12
000
development
funded,
twenty-five
percent
is
going
to
be
quite
a
bit
more
than
without.
Well,
let's
see
that
was
that's
like
twelve
hundred
dollars.
I
think.
A
We
could
handle
part
of
it
and
otherwise
it's
pretty
much.
The
same
and
and
I'll
just
put
the
link
in
the
chat
in
case.
Anyone
wants
to
look
at
it.
It
was
in
the
development
linkedin
the
agenda
under
the
development
process,
changes
and
our
plan,
for
that
is
to
send
out
an
announcement
about
those
changes
because
it
was
in
the
bylaws
I
think,
or
we
voted
on
the
original
plan,
at
least
so
to
send
out
a
announcement
of
voting
tomorrow.
A
E
A
A
G
G
D
A
A
D
A
D
A
H
D
D
D
As
I
said,
I
did
it
last
night
when
there
was
something
on
tv
that
the
whole
family
wanted
to
watch
except
me.
So
this
was
my
way
of
dealing
with
of
not
wanting
to
share
in
a
third
watching
or
second
watching
of
the
gilmore
girls
this
year.
So
I
will
write
it
up
and
and
put
it
out
there,
but
essentially
what
you
need
is
a
report
that
gets
the
version
number
out
of
the
out
of
the
database.
It's
in
the
system
preferences.
D
It's,
I
think,
the
the
the
I
think
the
variable
is
just
called
version,
but
there's
a
report
that
gets
that
and
then
you
need
to
use
the
json
link
to
get
that
data
out
of
the
report,
and
then
you
use
some
jquery
to
take
the
json
data
and
put
it
in
put
it
up.
There
next
to
the
to
the
breadcrumbs-
and
I
just
added
so
that
it's
only
on
the
on
the
main
page
in
quahog.
It's
only
on
the
home
page,
it's
not
on
any
of
the
other
pages.
H
The
the
other
thought
with
that
bug
was.
It
would
be
nice
if,
when
the
monthly
updates
are
added
to
our
systems,
if
there
was
a
time
stamp,
so
you
would
know
when
it
happened,
because
sometimes
I'll
have
staff
come
and
say
well,
something's
different
or
you
know,
and
I
won't
automatically
think
about.
Well,
maybe
we
had
the
monthly
upgrade
happen
and
something
came
in
with
the
monthly
upgrade,
and
I
don't
really
know
when
they
happen
like
we
know,
when
the
major
two
upgrades
happen.
D
A
My
plan
for
george's
jquery,
if
I
can
make
it
work,
is
to
use
his
jquery
but
then
hard
code.
Whatever
the
current
thing
is
and
say,
if
that
doesn't
equal,
whatever
version
we're
currently
on
then
like
highlight
it
in
red.
So
it's
really
obvious
that
it's
been
updated
and
then
I
have
to
go
in
and
edit
the
jquery
every
time
that
we
have
an
update,
but.
D
A
A
Kind
of
exciting,
like
it
worked
out
just
perfectly
this
time
that
it
was
we'd,
been
upgraded
long
enough
to
kind
of
like
be
used
to
the
new
things
that
we
turned
on
and
have
tested
most
of
a
lot
of
the
things
we're
gonna
test
to
decide.
If
we
want
them
or
not,
and
now
we
have
new
things
to
look
forward
to.
F
F
A
So
those
item
type
groups
you
can
say
like
you-
can
only
have
five
dvds,
blu-rays
two-week
checkouts,
checked
out
at
a
time.
That'll
be
nice
for
some
libraries,
at
least
where
you
can
put
those
in
a
group
and
have
some
limits
based
on
that
add
suggestions,
unwanted
fields
to
hide
fields
from
the
suggestion
form
so
that.
A
A
Multi-Choice
drop
down
counts
of
suggestions
on
that
home
page
will
just
so
show
for
your
logged
in
library,
instead
of
for
all
libraries
so
like.
Instead
of
saying
that
we
have
200
suggestions
that
are
penned
in
because
there
are
some
at
schools
that
don't
get
handled
very
fast.
It'll
just
have
like
the
three
new
ones
at
moscow.
Since
the
last
time
we
handled
the
ones
at
moscow.
A
A
A
So
that
might
help
actually
barbara
with
what
you
were
talking
about
yesterday,
where
the
automated
handler
checks
it
in
and
fills
the
hold,
but
if
it
could
check
in
and
go
into
quarantine
that
might
prevent
the
whole
from
being
filled.
I
don't
know
we're
quarantining
everything
before
we
check
it
in
so
I
haven't
been
following
that
super.
Well,
have
a
confirmation
alert
on
multi-part
items,
so
you
can
have
it
pop
up
and
say:
are
there
five
dvds
in
the
dvd
case?
A
A
A
A
If
there's
a
count
of
only
one
overdue
items,
you
know,
have
it
be
plural
or
singular,
oh,
except
if
you're,
except
you'll
get
the
digest,
if
it's
plural
anyway,
so
that's
that
was
just
my
quick
example
hold
history
for
patrons
in
the
opec.
So
if
they
come
and
say,
I
think
I
have
this
on
hold
it'll,
be
on
their
side.
A
Yeah,
I
think
so
auto
approve
option
for
borrower
modifications
so
where
you
can
set
certain
fields,
don't
have
to
be
confirmed
like
if
someone,
if
you
wanted
to
just
let
people
like
update
their
email
address
without
it
getting
confirmed
by
a
staff
member,
you
could
do
that
so
like
we
only
do
we
we
pretty
much.
Let
people
do
their
phone
number
and
email
if
they
want
to.
