December 19, 2016 Meeting
C1 - Director’s Report – Additional Information
1.Staff Reorganization
Since our last meeting, we have successfully advanced two employees to the Library Assistant II position, bringing us
up to our goal of four full-time employees in this classification. Training is underway and these four employees have
been incorporated into our MST (Management Support Team).
Recruiting now begins for the Librarian II opening. As mentioned last month, supervision of Zones A and B will
temporarily be my responsibility and Celine will continue to be in charge of Zone C. Celine’s working title
will be Youth and Family Services Librarian.
2.County Interlocal Agreement Update
I will have preliminary statistics to share at our meeting. A complete report will be sent to the County Board at the end
of December as per our interlocal agreement. Our first payment will be coming in early January 2017 from the county.

Regular Meeting
Item F1
Approval of Renovation Plans and Authorization to Proceed as per
City Procurement Requirements
Work with both CMBA and Olsson on interior and exterior renovations is far enough along that it is now
appropriate to present conceptual drawings and other information for library board approval with the
intent of development into a building program document for presentation to the Grand Island City
Council at their January 17, 2017 study session. While no tax funds will be used for this project, City
Procurement rules will be followed as this will be a budgeted 295 fund expense.

Regular Meeting
Item F2
Approval of Agreement in Principal to Accept Donation of Mark
Twain Sculpture
We have been informed that the Kaneko sculpture (approved by library board at 9/12/2016 meeting)
will not be donated to the library and will be placed elsewhere in the community. However, we have an
opportunity to accept a donation of a bronze Mark Twain bench sculpture by Utah artist Gary Lee Price.
The dimensions are 52" high X 60" wide and 38" deep. I will have additional information at the
meeting. A picture of the sculpture is attached.
