all those in favor i agree and before we go into the guest presentations if you are going to speak today if you could do us a favor and make sure you tell us your name for he starts and we know who you are and also if you can sign it would be greatly appreciated and so is there anybody in the audience that has any comments on something that is not on the agenda so hearing none we will move forward on interviews for the ground a library board and we will have seen if you like to come up and join us you set up here in one of the chairs are why you want this opportunity my name is jean grant and i was invited to y to be a member of the brown the board of trustees by one of the members at the end of the school  year last year and i worked for six years at summit street school as librarians assistant and i'm currently at phoenix books as a bookseller and out i'm quite passionate about books and through one of the things that we've heard just on this board over the years is that brunel is an expensive library when somebody says something the back burner was one of the most expensive libraries in the state what does that mean to you that means that there are probably a lot of and so then the next person would be helen don junction since two thousand and eleven before that we reference in all things and i love the library i feel like i have taken a great deal from the library and it would be really nice to give back a little bit  and i have a fair amount of board experience i've both professionally and personally i've worked on at the hospital in st albans i was the support person for the board so i took all the activities and the collections and that sort of thing is more and more their direction and i may not have that completely correct and i'm not sure i know enough to have an opinion about that i think given the volunteer nature of the board that maybe it's wise to not have the hiring be a part of their purview but beyond that i feel like i would be doing a lot of learning if i were to take this position and listening it's minute taking where do you think you could offer the library i think i have a pretty good perspective from the from the user standpoint of of what they have to offer so i think i bring that to them i would be interested in kind of making sure that the library has the support that it needs because i feel like it gives so much i mean the free child care alone that that library provides is extraordinary  and so i would i would want to preserve that for the community as i think the community really relies on it and you at that time and i do yeah i have a deal my husband that if i get on this i have to go off my other board obviously money is tight everywhere for me in his policies but i think if we're putting money into that resource we're probably getting more than we put into it out of it in terms of benefit to the community you know that said yeah you want to to try make things as efficient as possible in terms of you know building costs and that but i have not heard that but if i did hear that i would wanting to see the numbers and show people what the benefit is that they get from the resource for every question i th intention of the question is not one to to say a negative way that i think fuel is too expensive but rather one of as we have improve the charges that have come to us and that we feel very strongly in passionately about the library and a little services it provide absolutely stand so if it is ok with the rest of the board next we had kristin for the interview but she's not going to be here until seven thirty so if that would if the rest of war would be ok with it if we can then shift gears to al always district so allan if you like to come up and join us thank you for being here and for those in the audience this came about at our last meeting where we had learned about the and we're having to relocate or drop off center because of that and i never and there's really can as a very much will reduce drop off center so we decided that it was time to get more members together and get some direction and guidance for staff to to see where we go and as part of that we were looking at the usage safety other things that are going on at the drop off centers and there was a concern from the full time staff that the reader zones are causing some problems  those problems vary from children being allowed by their parents to run rampant around the drop off center with cars backing up and going forward in and people trying to get into position to get rid of interiors they brought to illegal materials being dropped off at the reeves zones because there isn't somebody dedicated there to watch what's going into recommendation or by the staff that you know think that with some of the other alternatives that are out there on the economy today a resource and  meeting and do a second did in there was a vote and as you are where the voting at the wish district is weighted based on the numbers of people that you have and it asked do you do away with resultant drop offs enters the end that was going along and all of a sudden we started getting some letters from richmond  and at our board meeting at the first part of the month the richmond chair so i have their select word showed up and wanted that to be considered and so the richmond that motion failed so we're back to getting rid of the results i voted after hearing your discussions here last meeting and also seeing some other now is for the reviews zones to probably who out of existence towards the end of this month the first part of next month the couple of things that we have discussed we have a building that is being used as a result and we're more than happy to provide that to the community if there's an effort by the located someplace else and were you guys help relocated i'm sure that we would assist with i have other towns they're looking at it i think richmond is looking at but the chair th circular spoke and then we voted on the motion that the richmond rep made and then he had our for another meeting so he wasn't there so we didn't get much backwash with respect to you know what liability and those kinds of things we've been very lucky we haven't had more than some basic fender benders at the drop of centers but if you go to either regina to rest six or burlington on saturday i mean it conversations about in order to keep them and to maintain the safe environment and to maintain an understanding of what goes in what goes out about changes that may need to happen there but a terribly with that would mean we did have discussions know and also if we do what it would take session in the decisions that are being made that are paid staff and all it just is something that i know the community values and you know i the least we can do is make a phone call to richmond you know i'm not es that we use and there's going to be a price tag fix to that and that crash today is going to probably run in three different million dollars we are doing some things to simplify it both and we are in the in backs because it's a time consuming job to back that material and it appears that there may be but i wanted to make you aware that we are looking at probably modifications there that are going to cost money that money probably would be obtained through a bond  boat if we do load on something we probably are looking to do something also at the material recycling facility which is really undersized for what we're really doing today it's you know been there twenty something years and it's still the same size it was when we first started the operation there and as they think you probably see some of the information in the paper a little bit  you know we have we have public relations teams that go out there and out to the restaurants and and the institutions and everything else i mean we've got all the big ones that the schools and hospitals and and in those kinds of things but now it's the smaller restaurants that are starting to have to do that and whatever annoy him two year maybe is almost a year ago probably talked a little bit about the inequities be this one component about alcohol how i struggled to see how that links in with the mission and i'm wondering if you can speak about that i guess what i'm curious on is have you explored looking into any like the private security companies i think egremont concert services were one of the things that they do as well as help the modern age to help again alleviate the village for making a decision about whether someone has had too much whether someone should have weave chapter three section three a three a day of the village ordinance for saturday october to thirteenth from two twelve to two pm for the battle of the barbecue event as six junction parks and recreation seventy five maple street  don't authorize any changes but authorize staff to come back with the areas and pictures of the areas and more of a description of what's going to happen we that are completely out of control and and don't i don't work with the community that we have so my main concern is where and what's already there very what's it how big i mean pursue two or three pilot areas for prey on meadows as well as have a discussion with the tree committee to obtain their input and  come right up here where the phone is not that we're going to have you talking to the phone or anything but just to be your microphone so that way those on t v landscape and hear you know what's being said so i thank you for coming today and i don't want to miss pronounce your last name so krist but if you can just start off by telling us a little bit about you and why you're interested i may go from there well i am one of those resident sets two thousand six hundred and i moved here with our two children  area i was part of was one of the village neighborhoods that kind of wanted to see some improvements in this area and so part of that was we started the training hop and that was it was just  is part of that is kind of the heart of a community so i was kind of approach by chrissie i'm going to come home and she invited me to come to this i had no idea that there was a warden so it was really interesting to attend the meeting see what it was all about oh my love to volunteer i love service and my background is i have my undergrad microchip degrees or english and love li with what and what is it that you think you bring to the library but i i think just my really nuts to do whatever i can to help out with whatever it is that they specifically they of different needs for the community to feel like the library is there some directions the library could go in that it isn't that you want to see and that there's directions the library is currently going in the nation doing different things i mean i really think that if i were to become more involved with it i would have a better kind of a vision about where they're out what they're doing i feel like that they are certainly just sitting on that meeting the other day was interesting to hear like some new ideas that they have about more outreach to community how to get more patrons to come in certain  family and i think giving children and as i remember time here when we lived in massachusetts but i took my daughter to library storytime the music time every week so that was hugely important for me as a young mother and for that you know just to be able to meet other people and have that sense of community so i think things like that i think are wonderful and so anything to continue if you're reaching out to the community i think is there any other other volunteer for his you'd be interested in possibly yeah possibly i have i mean i met you i followed here at the library as i shelving and i've actually applied for a couple of positions ago and there were a couple things i asked him to look into and then just one of the one that i went to that everyone know about so it had been a while but we had a discussion here about the policy and process around developments and they're supposed to be a landscaping and if they don't use do with or so they would do or spend the money i don't know the specifics anyway i had several people come to me again and ask about that and so since we've talked about it with pat you know lawrence went off the beginning but we had talked about with pat i went back to evan who he had known the same people were some of whom had gone to him as well so he is in his and born i'm sure and others are looking into specific projects that have been brought forward to say whether or not there is an issue that needs to be handled and more importantly is a process for the policy going  forward so he just wanted you all to know because it's taking up some of his time and then the other thing i had asked him to look into which he had also been asked by someone else but i spent some time at the senior center in my role as a don't know just because i find it open you know but there's quite a few people who have walkers so anyway i've asked that we look at grants or can we put in the budget for next year what we can do to get those pushbutton things so he's looking at that and then just to let you all know one of the other things that came out of my time at the senior center is they would like to look into having an advisory council similar to what e j r p had had it had been talked about as part of the n y u process when they came under the village and there's haven't done anything so i said i would help them in whatever way i could so i just want to let you all know that i've kind of provided them some information that will probably help them dr going to be touring our waste water treatment facility because of recent award for innovation at the village received for the wastewater treatment plant in addition they'll be three other sites in the village that are going to be visited by not the governor but fish and wildlife over by that way i'm referring to the secretary of state's document on open session open meeting law from innocent how these under executive session there is nothing in here that says that we have to warn going to the executive session however the board house to vote on whether they agree there's an executive session is warranted and one of the reasons to go into executive session session includes the appointment employment or evaluation of a public officer or employer employee provided that a public body sounds great so we have executive session we are now back in regular in regular session think everybody i will make a motion that we point gene grant and helen donna hay to the library board of trustees second any further discussion i would just say that we had three excellent candidates all of whom are well qualified is a very difficult decision for us to make to just roll slightly higher than the other we appreciate all applied and hope that they run again on april two thousand one thousand for the elected seats so all those in favor signify by saying i
