Trustees delay Freegal Music renewal, ask for usage data
Summary
Trustees removed the $7,457 Freegal Music annual contract from the consent calendar pending usage data and further review; Chair Colleen Foley asked whether the contract could be procured on a six-month basis.
Trustee Mary Maguire moved to remove the Freegal Music subscription (cost $7,457) from the consent calendar so trustees could get more information before renewing. Trustee Linda Ryan seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Chair Colleen Foley asked whether the Freegal Music contract could be structured on a six‑month basis rather than a yearly renewal. Operations Director Marianne Malagon said she will inquire about procurement options and trustees asked staff to add monthly usage statistics to future reports to help determine whether the service is worth the cost.
