Board members used the meeting to handle routine governance matters, confirm scheduling and to outline a strategic-planning timeline for the year.

A nomination was made to elect Amanda Houston as chair with Julia Kiley as vice chair, but Amanda was not present and the meeting transcript records no formal vote on that item. The board agreed to confirm Amanda's willingness to serve before a final election is completed.

Corey Burkhold, the library director, presented his director's report and answered questions about facilities and programs. He said the library had been closed for one week in September for front-entry repairs, which accounted for a sharp circulation dip that month, and described several recent programs, including a noon New Year's Eve event. On facilities, Burkhold said restroom remodeling is proceeding: "They're estimating about a month, they think it'll take," and staff expect to close both men's and women's restrooms during construction while providing the family restroom for patrons.

Members discussed the strategic plan process, noting the current plan expires this year. The board agreed to return to the item in Q1 to set scope and community-engagement methods, with more substantial planning sessions over the summer aimed at adopting a new plan by year-end. On scheduling, members noted the requirement to meet at least 10 times per year and initially agreed to take July and August off while retaining the option to add meetings later; the director will circulate a calendar of dates to members.

The meeting concluded after routine business and adjourned at 6:52 p.m.
