VII. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF – INFORMATIONAL REPORTS

    1. Director’s Report. Director Nix reviewed her report, shown as Attachment E of the agenda packet. Treasurer Ziehler moved and Trustee Schreiber seconded approval of the report. Unanimously approved.

Trustee Podell reported that Senator McCain is sponsoring legislation relating to filtering on computers of those that receive federal funds. Director Nix confirmed that that legislation related to the E-Rate subsidies and that all of the internet lines at MCFLS libraries fall under that funding method. Trustee Podell suggested that MCFLS send a letter opposing filtering on library internet stations. It was the consensus of the Board to have Director Nix draft a letter for President Snow’s signature relating to this topic and expressing the Board’s position to oppose filtering. Director Nix indicated that both WLA and ALA notify libraries via email of this type of information.

Trustee Podell reported that there may be a possibility that the County may have non-property tax resources for reciprocal borrowing but she won’t know for sure until the last minute. She will keep MCFLS informed. It was suggested that the MCFLS Board and that the ICC reaffirm their support of County Funds for reciprocal borrowing. Trustee Schreiber thanked Trustee Podell for all her continued work on this matter.

Exhibit 2 of the agenda packet is an email pertaining to the Kettl Commission.
