Board, Friends agree to pause on funding decision and reconvene after election; meeting adjourns
Summary
After a lengthy discussion about the $50,000 request, data needs and fundraising options, trustees and Friends agreed to defer any funding decision until after the city election and to gather program and circulation statistics; the meeting adjourned at 7:31 p.m.
After discussing study timing, budget and the Friends' desire for clearer plans, trustees and Friends agreed to collect data, coordinate fundraising strategy and revisit any contribution decision after the upcoming city election.
Board members recommended the Friends ask the city for details about the proposed study and to keep a running total of saved funds as leverage for future capital efforts. Library staff offered to point Friends to the Idaho Commission for Libraries statistics and to help compile program attendance and circulation metrics.
A trustee moved to adjourn and another seconded; the Board Chair adjourned the meeting at 7:31 p.m.
