Expected Outcomes

Agenda Items

Candace thanked the United Way Committee and everyone who participated in the United Way Campaign this year. She stated the money raised was less than the goal amount of $22,000, yet it was more than expected. There are still more donations coming in towards our goal. The amount donated so far this year is $18,473.

Candace reported due to the decline of attendance during ‘Open House’ in past years. She has made the decision to take advantage of the Downtown Library Noon Tunes which occurs every Thursday. On December 11th, the Downtown Library will host a holiday musical event during Noon Tunes. There will also be story time taking place as well. Candace has performers lined up for the event and others are being chosen at this time, more information to come.

Staff Recognition invites will go out this week to all staff members. The Staff Recognition Dinner is November 8, 2014 and will be held at the Cowboy Hall of Fame.

Administration / Commission – Out of the Office

Finance & Support – Lloyd announced there will be boiler inspections today at four libraries and the Maintenance Department will be accompanying them on the job.

In a month, concrete steps will be placed on the west side of the Downtown Library building. A key pad will also be attached to the west side fire emergency door, therefore, when the new downtown parking garage is complete / open, only library employees will be able to walk across the street to enter through that door. The City of Oklahoma City has promised MLS 150 parking spots once the new parking garage opens.
