,I'
Question: (Mr. Kreuser) What are the restrictions on hiring claisslfled and profes~
sional personnel and how do you, the Mayor, view the role of the library board?
Answer: (Mayor Gottfrl"ed)' I see the board as a legal body established by State
Statute. An autonomous board formed to establish policies to administrate the
operation of the library and to accept gifts of monies and land in it's name. The only area the Common Council can influence the board In Is the financial ad-
ministration of the library by setting the number of employees and their rate of
pay.
Question: (Mrs. 'Mlmler) Doesn't there seem to be a difference of opinion on
hiring library personnel as established by Wisconsin State Statute and the city's policy?
Answer: (Mayor Gottfried) The Council has established the number of employees
hired for the library and their wages by resolution.
Que s t ion: (Mrs. Dibb) When was the resolution passed?
Answer: Mayor Gottfried) The number of employees allowed had been established
in 1964 and included in the salary resolution.
Question: (Mrs. Mimler) Why do fine monies and non-resident borrowing deposits
have to be turned over to the city's general fund?
Answer: (Mr. Gottfried) All monies given to the library as donations are to be
handled by the board and the city controls all other monies from all the city
depa rtmen t s.
Alderman Foldy explained that all monies collected by the Park and Recreation
board from fees and court fees collected are turned over to the general fund also.
In reply to the question on why It takes the city so long to refund non-resident
borrower's deposits the Mayor said that he would look into It and see If he could
speed things up.
Question: (Mr. Kreuser) Whom does the librarian touch base with?
Answer: (Mr. Gottfried) The librarian answers to the Mayor but the board is her
immediate superior.
Question: What is the scope of the City Cle~s authority over library personnel?
Library Board Meeting - February 13, 1974 P ag e 2
Answer: (Mayor Gottfried) The Clerk's responsibility can only be for budgeted
administration or personnel problems.
The board requested a statement from the Finance Committee on their perceptions
of the relationship between the librarian and city hall. The Finance Committee
asked to be excused to attend another meeting and asked to be Invited back for
more discussion at the board's next meeting.
Mrs. Dlbb called the meeting to order at 8:00 P.M.
Mrs. Mimier moved approval of the January 9, 1974 minutes, Mrs. Teisl seconded.
Miss Horton asked that the portion of the minutes which was deleted in order to
maintain the surprise of the planned luncheon for Mrs. Lindhorst be Included as
follows: liThe remainder of the meeting was devoted to discussion on a "Trlbute
to Margaret Lindhorst". A committee of three, Mmes. Buhrandt, Modllnskl and
Steingraeber will make the arrangements and call other board members about their
plans." Motion carried
Mrs. Modi Inski moved approval of bills In the amount of $5,329.89, seconded by
Mrs. Leichtfuss. The motion carried.
Mrs. Dibb reported that Mrs. Lenz, Chairman of the Friends, is moving and the
group is disbanding. Mrs. Lenz hopes that someone will continue the Friend's
book sales since they earn between $60 and $100 each time they have been held
and the money donated to the library. Mmes. Lelchtfuss and Buhrandt volunteered
to hàndle future book sales on a trial basis with the help of volunteers from
the Friend's group.
Mrs. Teisl reported that the Muskego Library had hosted the January 23, 1974 meet-
ing of the Library System Planning committee. Special guests were Richard Krug,
Milwaukee City Librarian, and Nolan Neds, Supervisor of Neighborhood Libraries
and Extension Services, who gave the committee Information on the Milwaukee County
System and the services of the Milwaukee Public Library.
Miss Horton asked the board to consider closing the library so that an Inventory
can be taken. An annual Inventory Is recommended to discover which books are
missing or stolen, which need repairs and which should be culled from the collec-
tion. The last Inventory taken was In 1966. Mrs. Mlmler moved that the library
