Finance Committee Responsibilities draft.Carman said the draft looked good and commented on the last
bullet point,"Work with director to draft models explaining how services may need adjustment in anticipation
of funding challenges".Carman wondered if a step back should be taken there to clarify this could include
both challenges and opportunities.Paetzold said the committee tried to recognize that current challenges
facing the library didn't rest solely on the Library Director. Matthews noted funding comes from the City and
asked if there is a need for that. Rocklin clarified the final draft should remove the word challenges and replace

Director's Report.Carman discussed Inservice day,which went well.The Communications Committee did an
extraordinaryjob and the whole Inservice day staff committee did a greatjob.Carman said it is a significant
decision to close the library to the public for continuing education and staff take it seriously.Carman discussed
the Legislative Reception,which was attended by several of the people at the meeting.Paetzold noted the
winter shelter and asked about the Library's status as a warming center.Carman clarified that last year ICPL
was not a warming shelter.ICPL did make the lobby,which is temperature controlled and has restrooms,
available in extreme temperatures. Carman noted if operating hours were to be extended he would need to
check in because it would require a different staffing model.Matthews asked if there is a city policy about this.
Carman said he could look into this but thinks decisions are made based on temperatures. Carman said the
winter shelter helps a lot with early morning and evening hours and is a no barriers shelter.Patrons who leave
the library are sometimes ineligible for the regular shelter but can go to the winter shelter because of this.
Johnk asked if warming stations require a dry policy.Carman said at the Library patrons would be expected to
follow Library policies.

successful event with over$7,500 raised.Roche noted it can be hard to measure good conversations with
