with the commissions/board historically held before adoption of new City Council
goal in order to incorporate commission/board input and feedback. She further

Mr. Brown gave a brief oral report.
President Goble provided brief history on the New Library Ad Hoc
Fundraising Committee formed two years ago. She stated the ad hoc
committee invited the Friends of the Library, the Women's Fortnightly
Club, former Library Board Member Heather McGregor, and Librarian
Christine Conwell to join in their efforts and noted that, due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, the committee has conducted very minimal
community outreach. President Goble expressed they are seeking the
Council's input, interest, and experience in order to advise the ad hoc
committee on how to proceed with its efforts.
The City Council and Library Board discussed: 1) what could the Library ad
hoc committee do while they are waiting for firm information on the library
plan and its timing; 2) direction from Council or staff with regard to
identifying a community member to help be a spokesperson;
3) importance of Library messaging and branding and seeking input on
individuals that might be able to assist the committee with this effort; and
4) adding a discussion item to upcoming and Library Board meeting and
outreach to the community serving organizations to discuss who and how
the outreach should take place.
There were no speakers.
On behalf of the City Council, Mayor Parvin thanked the Library Board for
their service and for all they do for the community.
