Board of Library Trustees Minutes: January 28, 2020 3
11. B. Building Committee update
The Building Committee will meet with the City Council Library Sub Committee on February 4th at
5:00 p.m. They will discuss the next steps for the Building Committee recommendation, the Mark
Rios Sunrise Park study, and the Frey Building remodel. Director Kays said that the Staff Report
for the Frey Building was pulled because the City wants to wait until the master plan for the park is
completed. This is an ad hoc meeting so it is not open to the public. Parks and Recreation
Commission is spearheading the Sunrise Park master plan and have invited the stakeholders.
Trustee Weremiuk said an assessment of the library needs to be done to determine what the cost
would be to remodel the building because we cannot have the discussion of new library or remodel
without knowing the magnitude of repairs that need to be done. T reasurer Kelly agrees an
assessment needs to be done but that you have to first look at the whole property first by doing a
master plan of the park. Trustee Weremiuk and President McBride are worried the master plan will
delay the Library project.
11. C. Welwood Patio update
Director Kays said the charge to the Welwood Patio account was a charge from David Volz Design
that was carried over from last fiscal year. Engineering is working on the contract to get the project
started. They do not have an update yet but Director Kays thinks it will be done by summer 2020.
11. D. JC Frey Building update
Reported.
11. E. Review Board practices: what are we including in the packet
Discussion on what should be included in board packets and meeting minutes. Director Kays and
Trustee Borba will meet to discuss. Trustee Weremiuk said the meeting minutes can be shortened
to report on action taken. Director Kays said that we are making sure every meeting is recorded so
that it can be posted on YouTube. Treasurer Kelly said he thinks the more information we include
in the board packet the better because it might encourage people to attend our meetings or make
donations.
Trustee Courtright left at this time.
11. F. Library Annual Reports and Questions of Further Discussion (memo)
Treasurer Kelly prepared a memo with questions about the annual report statistics. Trustee
Weremiuk asked how class visits are counted. Director Kays explained that we do not have a
category for class visits but they are counted them using the door count. We determine what we
are going to track based on what the state library asks us to report. Treasurer Kelly believes it is
the duty of the trustees to understand the operations of the Library and be able to interpret that for
the public. He thinks one of detriments to having an annual report that only looks at the last year
without looking at trends is you miss things that need to be addressed. Looking at this we might
realize we should be reporting different numbers or numbers that are more representative of our
successes. President McBride said we should start by looking at what the State Library requires
and see if those numbers make sense to what the Library Board is looking for. Going into the next
phase of our building plan we also need to look at what affects our community needs. Director Kays
said that the reports that are given to the Library Board are just a snapshot of the monthly statistics
that the Library gathers and maybe different statistics should be included. President McBride said
he would like this topic to be on the agenda for the next three meetings. He would like to know what
Library is required to submit to the State Library and why and what statistics are important to ensure
the Library is meeting the needs of the community. Trustee Borba suggested the Library include
more information on outreach in the statistics.

11. G. Interest Income Allocations from previous years
Director Kays gave the report. Included in the packet was a quarter one and quarter t wo interest
allocation report, the number is up from previous years. Treasurer Kelly asked why that money is
not showing up in the cash account. He also wanted to discuss if it is appropriate to use interest
income for Library operating expenses and if it has already been spent that is fine but because the
accounts can’t be reconciled he doesn’t know. Director Kays said the finance department assured
her that the money is there. She said that any money spent would show up on the expenditure
report and that the only money spent so far this period is a charge to the PR Library Campaign.
Money cannot be spent out of a revenue account where the interest income is. Director Kays will
follow up with the Deputy Finance Director. Treasure Kelly asked about the reimbursement of
Measure J funds. Director Kays said it is her understanding that Measure J does not intend to
reimburse the trust fund.

survey asking people if they still agree with the general plan goals that came out of the 2007 report. She
asked the board members to take the survey and if the Library could have the survey out for the
community.

I obtained the figures from my copies of the 2018 -19 and 2017-18 annual reports issued by the
Library. All other figures came from similar annual reports available online.

7-year Trends
Although the number of books checked out of the Library has increased 32% since 2012-13
(and up 34% if you add eBooks to the totals), most other measures of activity in the Library
have declined.
The issuance of new library cards has declined 33% to 3,821 in 2018 -19 from 6,312 in 2012-13.
The number of computer sessions was reported at 42,894 a 50% decline from its peak in 2014 -
15. Adding WiFi sessions to computer sessions significantly offsets this decrease in library -
based access to the internet for a total reduction in sessions to 74,856 from 85,541 (12%
decline) since the peak year of 2014-15.
Programming totals trended flat over the seven years, but the 2018 -19 figure of 281 programs is
down by 98 or 25% from the peak year of 2015-16.
For 2018-19, the number of volunteer hours were down 764 or 18% to 3,393 from the pr ior year.
Volunteer hours spiked upwards in 2015 -16 to 2,398 from 903 in the prior year and have
consistently remained high with a peak of 4,157 hours in 2017 -18.
The number of reference questions are down 55% (18,268) to 14,705 in 2018-19 from the peak
of 32,973 in 2014-15. The decline seems to correlate with the introduction of WiFi services at
the Library.

Welwood Murray Memorial Library (WMML) was re-opened after extensive renovations in
February 2015 and the numbers for 2014-15 are inclusive of the opening date to the end of the
fiscal year (approximately 5 months) at June 30, 2015. These figures are avail able from the
same annual reports that were reported for the Library. The trends in these figures suggest that
reduced visits to WMML have resulted in an overall decline in activity.
The door count at WWML is down 33% (24,686 decrease) from its peak in 20 15-16, the first full
year figures are available following the renovation. No books are available to be checked out at
WWML. Therefore, no Library cards are issued at this branch. Data for program events, such as
book club meetings, is not measured in this report. No data is available for volunteer hours at
this branch. Without books to lend, there are no figures for inter -library loans or reference
questions.

Computer sessions have declined 23% (7,387) to 23,878 in 2018 -19 from the peak year in
2015-16, the first full year figures are available following the renovation. With the inclusion of the
count of WiFi sessions, total internet use declined 27% (10,255) to 27,932 in 2018 -19 from
38,187 in the peak year of 2015 -16.
Questions for Further Discussion
1. What are the opportunities to reduce the downward trends in activity at the Library and
WMML? Are we measuring activity accurately when a bus load of school children visiting
the recent Legacy Project is treated as one visit instead of counting each of the visitors?
2. A follow-up to this memo should include figures on the total number of employee hours
in each year to show where volunteers have filled in for lost employee hours due to past
downsizing. If we counted volunteers as employees , how many full-time staff would the
library have? What would be the financial impact of this increase in full-time staff?
3. Library public service hours are up 33% (613 hours) to 2,498 hours in 2018 -19 from
1,885 in 2012-13 without an increase in door count or issuance of new c ards. This may
correlate with the increase in the number of books and eBooks that have been checked
out. Internet access as measured by the number of computer and WiFi sessions seems
to match the trend in door count. What segment of the public are we serving with
increased hours? Book readers, internet users or others?
4. The number of Library programs is essentially flat over the past seven years, down 25%
(98) in 2018-19 (281) from the peak year of 2015 -16 (379). Why? What are the number
of calendar days (evenings and/or business days) that sports leagues take out of
potential programming days each year (because of limited Sunrise Park parking)? Is it
likely that events that were popular in 2015 -16 could not be repeated in subsequent
years because of the inability to accommodate an increase in attendance likely to result
from the popularity of the event? Currently programming is measured by age groups
(Youth, Teen, Adult). Would it be useful to measure the number of events based on
size? (10 or less, 25-50, and 50 and above, for example?)
5. What is a true measure of success for the Library? If the measure of success is the
greater number of checked out books and eBooks, what caused the increase last year?
Did fewer people check out more books? If an increasing Library door count is a
measure of success, why has the door count decreased?
6. The Library benefits substantially from volunteer service hours . What is sustaining those
numbers and should we set a goal to increase volunteer participation? How has the
volume of volunteers been managed by staff?
