No Treasurer's Report was given because information was unavailable from City Hall.
The Librarian's Report was presented:
--Gail reported that the PLA Conference was well worth the trip. The total spent for the
trip was $711.48.
-The automation system is up and running and Gail does like it as a whole. When
everything is working, it does reduce the work load. A good recommendation would not
be given to Brodart, however, because of all the problems in the past.
-No stats for the month were given because Gail was unable to get them from the
system.
--The computer Gail originally hoped to use with the system as a work station is not
compatible, therefore, a new computer that will work faster is needed The cost of a new
486 is about $1200 from Ger-Mar. Things are temporarily straightened out until the new
budget takes effect in October. The new computer can be purchased at that time.
Committee Reports: No reports were given. The Policy Committee will meet after the
business meeting.
Old Business:
-- Gail will get with John to write a letter concerning the opening of the high school
