88 age 1 January 14, 2008 SUBJECT Joint Meeting of City Council and Library Board RECOMMENDATION City Council to provide direction. BACKGROUND The purpose of the joint meeting is for the city council and the public to become more informed about the library board and the board's role in the oversight of the Library. The process began with the appointment of a city council ad hoc charter review committee. By memorandum, which is attached as Attachment A, the committee notified the library board of its desire to have a public opportunity to gain in depth knowledge of the library board which has been established by city charter. The ad hoc committee thereafter provided the library board with a list of topics or issues of council concern which is attached hereto as Attachment B. In turn, the library board has responded to the list of topics and issues and the responses are attached as Attachment C. The discussion by the city council and the library board will provide the parties an opportunity to identify issues of common interest. The goal is to gain a general understanding of the issues but not to resolve those issues at the joint meeting. Thereafter, the best forum for their further exploration or resolution of the issues will be identified, which would include but would not be limited to the city council priority session, the ad hoc city charter review committee or the library director. Human Resources Director Bob Bell will be serving as the facilitator for this joint meeting. ALTERNATIVES No alternatives. FISCAL IMPACT No fiscal impact. -,'j J -"--:;7/' ,I l uC l /~an T.
