10.A. Action Item: Illinois Libraries Present Intergovernmental Agreement
|
|
10.B. Action Item: Non-Resident Library Card Program Participation
Description:
The Library Board is required by Illinois law to decide annually whether our Library will participate in the state's nonresident library card program, and to inform RAILS about the board's action within 30 days. Nothing in the statute or administrative rules requires a public library to participate in the program or to issue nonresident cards.
It is APL's current policy to participate in the program, using the "tax bill method" to calculate the fee for nonresident cards.
Recommended Motion(s):
"I move to continue particpating in the Illinois Public Library Nonresident Library Card program, using the tax bill method to determine the cost of cards for nonresidents."

11. Closed Session - 5 ILCS 120/2 (c) (1)
The appointment, employment, compensation, discipline, performance, or dismissal of specific employees of the public body, including hearing testimony on a complaint lodged against an employee to determine its validity.
Description:
Reminder: There can be no official action taken during the Executive Session. Action can only occur upon return to Open Session and should be prefaced by a recital of facts sufficient to inform any members of the public as to what action is being taken.
Recommended Motion(s):
I move that we convene into executive session under Section 2. (c) (1) of the Illinois Open Meetings Act for the purpose of discussing the library director's annual performance evaluation.
