MINUTES SHREVE MEMORIAL LIBRARY BOARD January 13, 1983 The meeting was called to order at 3:30 p.m. January 13, 1983 in the Board Room, Main Library, 424 Texas Street with the following members present: Lane Sartor, Gennie Chocolate, Mickey Shirley, Mavice Wallette, Hardy O'Neal and Jack Stutsman. Lane Sartor presided and Jim Pelton was secretary. Mrs. Wallette moved and Jack Stutsman seconded a motion to approve the minutes of the October 14, 1982 minutes as mailed. Motion passed. A Resolution and Deed to donate the old branch library buildings on the grounds of the Queensborough Elementary School property, 2805 Missouri Avenue, and the one on Caddo Heights Elementary School property, 4150 Linwood Avenue was prepared by George Lang, Assistant City Attorney. Jim Pelton read the document and Lane Sartor explained that: (1) these buildings had not been used by the library for 10 years; (2) there was no foreseeable use in the future; (3) the buildings were on school board property, and (4) the library had potential liability exposure unless the buildings were turned over to the school board. It was noted that Harriette H. Turner was no longer president of the Caddo Parish School Board. The new president of the school board is Gerald Nelson and this will be corrected in the Donation Deed. Hardy O'Neal moved and Mickey Shirley seconded a motion to adopt the Resolution and approve the (corrected) Donation Deed (See attachment #1). Motion passed. Mrs. Wallette reported that the Personnel Committee had their hearing relative to 's appeal on November 19, 1982 and met again on November 26, 1982. She further commented that the meetings were conducted on a high level throughout. It was decided that would be granted 40 hours but that she would remain in her present capacity as supervisor of bookmobiles. This was done because of her many years of service and closeness to retirement. The committee approved the administrative decision removing Mrs. from public service type positions. While on personnel matters, several members asked questions about the new classification plan and the salary schedule. Jim Pelton reported that it did take effect January 1. The Director and/or Supervisor talked to everyone who had a change in classification whether up or down. Approximately 13 staff members move dup and 8 down to appropriate classifications on the new plan. This represents about 20% of the staff. Everyone received at least a 4.5% raise and the average was 7.1%. The reaction was generally favorable, and only 2 people questioned in any detail their new classification plan. One of these thought she should be classed higher but the director and personnel officer did not agree and her classificaiton will remain as is (It had not been changed in the new plan.) Information had been sent out to all vendors of copy machines listed in the yellow pages of the phone book under copiers. This was for an additional copier on the first floor of the main library. Only two companies submitted proposals. This was probably due to the fact that the specs called for an integral coin changer because of the expected high level of copying (See Attachment #2 for details). Hardy O'Neal moved and Gennie Chocolate seconded a motion to purchase a Xerox 3100 Coin-Op. Motion passed. The Executive Committee met on December 16 and December 21, 1982 to discuss projected cost figures for 1984-88. These meetings were necessary because the library needs to have a tax election in 1983 and because the parish officials had
