SML Board of Control Minutes November 8, 1993, Page 2 [Redacted] Barbara Pendleton reported that several items of the Personnel Policy need to be revised. Orella Brazile recommended that an updated Personnel Policy Manual with a very clear explanation of the procedures involving terminations be delivered to each employee as soon as possible. She also recommended a grievance committee be formed to obtain employee involvement in the grievance process. Finance Committee Update Jim Pelton reported that the Caddo Parish Commission will hold a meeting on December 6 and 8 at 6:00 p.m. at which one Board member may present the 1994 Proposed Budget of the Library for approval. Library Planning and Tax Analysis Jim Pelton presented a tax analysis which he had prepared (see attached analysis). He reported that Cindy, Jeff and he would prepare written comments on the July 17 election. He suggested that a planning committee be reconstituted to make decisions concerning future plans. Marion Weiss suggested forming a committee of one representative from each area in Shreveport and Caddo Parish. Jim Pelton suggested that the Planning (or some other) Committee may need to meet with people in the areas. The different areas are too diverse to combine into one committee.
