Resolution 06-053 limiting the requirement to adopt library operating policies by resolution
Resolution limiting the requirement to adopt library operating policies by resolution
When Library was created vast majority of policies were created as a result of City Council Resolution.
Many of the policies that came about by resolution are operational in nature and could be handled more efficiently under the purview of the City Managers office; therefore, not requiring
further resolutions.
Policies on meeting room use, exhibits, displays, handouts and ethical considerations in working with business sponsors are covered by existing city policy.
Resolution limiting the requirement to adopt library operating policies by resolution
Resolutions would still be necessary related to borrower rights and responsibilities, Library fees and fines, relationship with friends group, foundation, and other municipal libraries,
computer use, and confidentiality.
Resolutions would not be necessary for loan periods, hours of operation, holds and reserves, collection development, library programs, grants and donations. Policy revisions would
be recommended by the Library Advisory Board and made available to Council for review and comment.
The Library Board recommended resolution 06-053 be brought to Council.
