View of the Organization -- Observations, thoughts, and plans for MLS
Tim will provide an overview of the first 90 (actually 107) days along with results from the survey (Purpose-Priorities-Changes) that staff submitted in March. In addition he will describe some of the opportunities he sees for the Library in the next year, and beyond.
Lloyd Lovely shared information regarding the results from November’s election regarding State Questions 758 and 766 and their impact on the MLS. The impact of the results will not be known until August 2013 when the final Ad Valorem taxes are given by the county. However, there will be no impact on the current year’s budget. In preparing for next year’s budget requests, staff should consider prioritizing those requests.

Culture Survey Update
Kim Terry reviewed the charge of the three culture survey committees and the formation of the ad-hoc committees formed afterwards. She went over the progress that the committees have achieved with the supervisors. See Attachment A for notes from the Ad Hoc Culture Committees.
Roy Ballou, HUM gave a brief and informative overview of Express Breastfeeding. Companies are required to provide a place without view that is not a restroom for women who are breastfeeding a place to perform this task. The library system is not required to pay for the time women breastfeed, but the library system must accommodate for those women by providing a facility that meets those needs. He also informed the supervisors that each location needs to have a working refrigerator to store the milk as well. Roy then asked the supervisors to help identify a place at their location that would serve this purpose and encouraged the supervisors to spread this information to their employees.
