Resolution limiting the requirement to adopt
library operating policies by resolution
• When Library was created vast majority of policies were created
i 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.

and responsibilities, Library fees and fines, relationship with
