7. DISCUSSION/ACTION ITEMS
7. A. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING — PALM SPRINGS PUBLIC LIBRARY
FOUNDATION
MOTION: (Jones,Norgard 4-0) To open item for discussion.
Trustee McBride asked if all the issues were resolved. Chair Borba said he thought all of the Boards
issues were addressed.
David Sidley pointed out that in 1.c.i. it says any funds provided will fund ongoing maintenance and
in 1.d.i. it says the City shall be solely responsible for maintaining the Library. The foundation would
like that language removed because the Foundation will not be responsible for ongoing
maintenance of the Library. Chair Borba said he interprets it as any funds that the Foundation
raises could be used for those reasons but it's not the Foundations responsibility to maintain it.
Director Kays reiterated what Chair Borba said. David_Sidley said he doesn't think the Foundation
exists to maintain the building. Bill Wiley said it would be easier with their fund-raising efforts of the
`._ words ongoing maintenance were struck. Treasurer Jones suggested changing the word shall to
may and delete the word solely. Director Kays said that it might be saying that any funds being
raised is for the Library not the Fire Department or any other department in the City. David Sidley
suggested taking out construction, operation, etc. and it just says fund the Palm Springs Public
Library system. Trustee McBride suggested the Foundation come up with alternative language and
then let the City Attorney approve it.
I.c.ii refers to a section that does not exist.
In Il.b.ii. it says the Foundation shall provide any financial records requested by the City within thirty
days following such request. Bill Wiley asked if anyone knew what the intention behind this request.
They would like clarity to what kind of reports would be asked for.
Bill Wiley asked what 0 years for less than $5,000 means on the naming rights chart. David Sidley
suggested adding the word minimum, Treasurer Jones suggested adding maximum and have
people renew their donations. Trustee McBride said that these are just guidelines for the
Foundation if they have a donor that wants to donate a large amount in the agreement with the
Foundation the donor could stipulate how long they want the naming rights to be and then the City
approves it or rejects it. He suggested adding term to section Ill.d. on City's Prior Approval. In
sections Il AJ., ii., and iii. Julie Warren suggested adding "...and set length of term."
The City Attorney added Ill.e. some of the information was not included in the previous version. Bill
Wiley asked why there is a 30-day limit. Director Kays said it so the money is received in a timely
manner so that it can be used for that intent.
Chair Borba and Director Kays are working on a flowchart to show the different areas the money
could come in, the Foundation, Friends, etc. They will have the flow chart at the April meeting.
Board of Library Trustees Minutes: March 1, 2023 2
Library Board of Trustees, April 4, 2023, pg. 6
The Foundation needs to know the type of insurance that's required. Director Kays is working with
the City Attorney on this.
The lettering in section IX Needs to be corrected.
MOTION: (Jones,Norgard 4-0) To submit the MOU to the City Attorney for clarification and ask
what financial records are being asked for in Il.b.ii. and clarification regarding ongoing maintenance
and authorize Chair to accept on behalf of Trustees or bring back to a future meeting.
7. B. SET NEW MEETING DATE FOR APRIL 2023 DUE TO PASSOVER- PROPOSING APRIL 6
Director Kays suggested meeting Tuesday, April 4, 2023, at 5:30 in the City Council Chambers.
8. TRUSTEEISTAFF COMMENTS/FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Trustee McBride asked if the Board needs to be ready to support any future action with City Council.
The Library Board pushed the motion to City Council, and it was approved. Director Kays said the
RFQ is being written and it should be out in the next week. Director Kays said the architects and
designers will give us a total to work with. She said libraries are running about $1000 per square foot
and our Library is 34,000 square feet so we are looking at $34 million.
