j' Subject: Resolution for Library District
The Library Board at its last meeting passed a resolution supporting the
district formation. See the last paragraph of the attached minutes.
L.K.
WELD COUNTY LIBRARY
Board Meeting
Thursday, August 1, 1985
Present: Julie Shade, Ruth Gartrell, Luella Kinnison, Bill Kirby, Don Warden,
Jim Gustafson, Charles Clark, Jane Smith, Nancy Knepel, and
Joanne Mullen, representing Friends of WCL.
Meeting was called to order by Chairman, Ruth Gartrell.
The meeting is basically devoted to districting. Both Bill Kirby and Don
Warden were asked to state their views on the formation of a library district.
Because of reduced funding it becomes obvious that the present services will
be sliced drastically without another source of revenue.
Don described the Colorado Library Law in regard to formation of a district.
Advantages and disadvantages were presented.
Defined service areas and how money would be used.
There is a November deadline and this would necessitate a quick decision,
probably by September. Now seems to be an appropriate time to do this before
service and materials begin to erode.
Luella and Nancy presented arguments for division of funds from the 1.5 mill
tax increase.
Weld County's role in the district would probably be an identical role to what
it is now. Charters, constitution and by-laws should be carefully formed. The
District board would be the governing board rather than the county commissioners.
Don and Bill will meet with Town Boards which are to be invited to hear the
processes involved in forming a district and be informed about the advantages
and disadvantages of such formation.
A meeting of the Board followed Don and Bill leaving. A list of concerns should
be drawn up, asking for continuity and consistency in library service.
The motion was made by Jim Gustafson to support the commissioners in the
formation of a district by resolution as long as it provides consistency of
library service. The motion was seconded by Charles Clark and carried
unanimously.
Meeting adjourned at 9.20 p.m.
