more faith in the parents and kids and teens to navigate and explore the world through

seeking out information on their own.

-Marianna Chochran, Rathdrum- Spoke to the state of our Nation comparing it to ripping off

band aids and the current issues in the CLN. Gave Director Walters appreciation for his

responses at the CIN meeting on Feb 19th.

-Theresa Birkett, Post Falls- Extend gratitude to trustee Hanley and Ottosen for attending

viewing of Banned Together. Spoke about banning books based on content, and gave

examples of recent books she has read. Libraries should remain neutral spaces.

-Michelle Lippert, Post Falls- Fear mongering around books, LGBTQ/Racism/Drug abuse

content does not cause those things in individuals. Spoke on a quote from a trustee from

Jan 16 board meeting. Suggested children are being controlled with the actions being

taken. Board does not decide which viewpoints are acceptable, that is the job of the

librarians.

-Naomi Strom, Liberty Lake- Address CLN membership in CIN. Spoke on the new Library

Cards for Minors policy and its effect on the consortium.

5. Consent Agenda: Action Item (5 minutes)

a. Minutes of the Regular meeting: January 16, 2025- Hanley- should say “minutes”, pg. 3 bullet

3 Plass- “Do not want paragraph C” to clarify. Ottosen pg 2. - Plass comment under #7, speaks

to the policy.

b. CIN meeting minutes: November 20, 2024- Plass questioned timeline since November was so

long ago. No meeting in December. Attendance X or _ (x is present). Plass concerned with

potential CIN comment from Public Comment. Director spoke on the last two meetings.

c. CIN financial statements: December January 2025, Plass-looking at the total budget and CLN

pays almost half of the budget.

Unanimous consent

6. Community Library Network January 2025 financial statements: Action item (5 minutes)

Plass- confusion on property taxes, item 2 and 3 rolled into top line item, Has this already been paid by

state as part of the payment from county? Business Manager- line item 2 and 3 show zero, we do not

expect these funds, add all lines to get the total. Line item 2 and 3 is above what was budgeted. Bond

Levy- all the property tax from FY’25 began into one account. Hanley- Line item 2 and 3 on revenue, line

item 1 reduced by these lines? Business Manager- not a reduction, on the form it is split out. Plass-

property owners are not paying as much since the state is paying. Ottosen- graphs discussing low balances,

looks like we are well above what is needed. Plass appreciated the graphs. Summary: 2 months reserve

should not be listed as expense, put it as a note on bottom? Hanley- would that be accepted by the

Treasurer as a best practice. Business Manager- third sheet is for clarity and understanding where we are

currently- not an official document. Plass pg 2.-line 83 expenditures, note about sept 15th, correct note for

clarity.

Unanimous consent

7. Director’s Report (10 minutes)

Thank you banners placed at Athol and Post Falls, intention to move outside on the property for more

exposure. Mature Content Collection implementation in progress, discuss with facilities about location

space and getting it ready. Circulation statistics- Eresources, Freegal expiring, CLN patrons have other

digital resources: Lili.org (ICFL) large collection of electronic resources (Gale, Ebsco host/long list of

databases). Thank you to Tech Services and IT, Kari Wilson and Mark Foster for statistical data. Gave

specific examples of database usage. Eresources sometimes show up in ILS and sometimes they don’t,

when Ebsco added to ILS increased searches 10 fold. Flipster- magazine database, Mango Languages,

Ancestry.com: in house use only. Physical items circulated in Jan: 62,525: 3,491 by minor cards, 120

minor limited, 79 teen limited. 5.8% of usage. How many unique to CIN? 4,087, 6.5%. 6,625 came in from

non CLN libraries. Having a hard time getting data broken down by minors to speak to the minor card

holders. A request is in to ByWater. Audiobook and Ebooks, Overdrive is a CIN owned product, trying to

determine how many of those downloads were minor patrons.

8. Facilities Department Report (20 minutes)

Maintain facilities and safety at all CLN locations. Planning and projections for maintenance for the next

10 years.

Planned projects: Hayden roof done. Upgrade HVAC controls for the district. Hayden light upgrades.

Security cameras in Spirit Lake. Resealed Hayden and Pinehurst parking lots. Unplanned projects: Post

Falls and Athol water damage, insurance claims: new carpet, upgrade insulation, monitors installed to

monitor attic temps, upgrade furniture, restrooms in Athol upgraded due to water in the walls. Plass:

monitoring sensors- is there any automation, no. Hanley- did removing the tiles make a difference in

temperature? Yes. What about the other facilities, have they been assessed for risk? And an action plan?-

Other facilities do not have the same threat because they do not have full sprinkler systems, only small

systems in mechanical rooms.

Next FY Planning Document- Sidewalk Spirit Lake, Post Falls HVAC system- need to gain access to

them. Spreadsheet review: carpet, painting, roof, vehicles. Plass- is the sidewalk the whole thing or just a

section? Sprinter vans replacement?, not within the next 5 years. Hanley- HVAC replace one in Post

Falls?, yes. What is the plan for future?- R&M line will cover all locations other than Post Falls. Plass-

Harrision temporary and unsustainable? As long as we maintain it will be fine.

Plass- put more money in CARRF in the new budget cycle? How do we put more money into it? Director-

statute says that trustees can add to it.

9. Policy packet discussion: Action Item (15 minutes)

ADA Notification Policy, no changes

ADA Grievance Procedures, - line 22 period at end of sentence, consensus

ADA Public Notice, - Braille and Large Print, required by law, we would have to order the braille.

Facilities Management Policy, Hanley: Lines 21-32: lawn care, janitorial, outside maintenance? Director all of

those are outsourced, in the Facilities Manager job description. Plass- facilities manager does facilities and

vehicles- yes

Vehicle Use Policy: Plass- should we name vehicles in policy? Hanley: same observation. Director; remove

general use vehicles section. Plass- line 30 and 37 combined or refer to vehicle inventory list? Special training

vehicles: Facilities: added years ago by Admin. Remove lines 30-40, consensus. Leave line 46 as edited

All policies approved as edited, consensus

10. Human Resources Specialist job description discussion: Action Item (15 minutes)

Ottosen, pg 2, 5th bullet: “May prepare reports”- consensus, last bullet in same section ‘may participates

in’- consensus

Plass - Janitorial bullet- leave as it. Director- consistent with other Job descriptions- consensus to leave as

is.

Plass pg 3- Associates Degree?, Assistant Director- That designation is consistent with other jobs within

the organization- consensus to leave as is.

Plass does this need to be full time. Assistant Director- currently duties are split among Director/Assistant

Director/Business Manager.

All policies approved, consensus

11. Break (10 minutes) 3:32pm

3:42pm called back to order

12. Trustee Training (15 minutes)- Counsel- Idaho Public Records Act- A public record is not correspondence that

is not dealing with the public's business. Look at it on a case-by-case basis. Public Official- elected, appointed,

or hired. A writing is: most things that contain information. Public required to use form and the form goes to

the custodian. Upon receipt the requestor must receive a response in 3 days. An extension could be determined.

Business days, weekends excluded. If requestor does not receive response in 10 days it is considered a denial.

Denials require written notification. Can request a fee for the request.

Plass- attorney client privilege, could counsel be in a compromised position representing the board and the

CLN. Counsel does not represent any individual, just the entity. Plass- should there be two attorneys? One

for board and one for staff. Counsel- conflicts will be assessed as they arise.

13. Executive Session–General Counsel: Executive Session under Idaho Code § 74-206(1)(f) – litigation. Action

Item: Discussion/Decision regarding litigation (35 minutes)

Hanley moved to go into executive session,

Roll Call Vote: Yay: Plass, Ottosen, Hanley, Ambrosetti. Unanimous. 4 pm

Ottosen moved to come out of executive session 4:34pm

14. Policy discussion: Library Cards for Minors: Action Item (35 minutes)

Plass- Line 21 strike out what is the reason for the change? Director- there was confusion from staff and

public. To make it clear the limitations are to non-CLN items. Hanley- CIN meeting, CLN cardholder can

go to a CIN library in person and check out items? Director- We are in the implementation process and yes

it does seem that a minor can walk into another CIN library and check out items. Plass- Surprised at that

answer. Why would a CLN card work at Liberty Lake? Director- heart of the issue and goes beyond this

policy- Within the CIN they treat all the cards as CIN cards and you get to choose your home library.

Hanley- Our job is to take reasonable steps, and CDA is responsible for giving them items that would not

be in our collection. Edit policy “Online Catalog cannot be used.....”. Plass- Why does editing that make a

difference? Director- a better edit is remove the word borrow. Ambrosetti- Remove the words ‘or borrow’.

Director solves the issue for now.

Consensus remove words “or borrow” in both a and b.

Plass moved to approved this policy as amended

M,C- Plass

15. Response to Public Comment (5 minutes)

Hanley-work on the important mission to make this library great again.

Audience disruptive and warned against trespass

Recess for 5 min- Ottosen 5pm.

5:05pm resumed.

Ambrosetti- Last meeting there was confusion about who passed the law. The responsibility as trustees is

to act upon the law and follow the will of the people.

Plass- Clarify his comment “we don’t send our children to war” in the last meeting, it was a figure of

speech about culture war. We do not want to expose them to things that will lead them astray and confuse

them. We don’t want our minors getting exposed to ruinous concepts that will ruin their lives.

Ottosen- disruptive comment from last meeting, ‘nothing wrong with Marxism’, list of these attributes.

Spoke to the comment ‘Illegal to withhold these materials from minors’- we are not restricting rights, we

are witholding things that were already illegal.

16. Discussion of future agenda requests (5 minutes)

Plass- complete changes to Materials and Selection and Aquisition Policy. Ambrosetti wants it too. Failed

consensus for next month.

17. Set Special and regular meeting dates: Action item (5 minutes)

Plass- special meeting to discuss Materials and Selection and Aquisition Policy next Thursday/Friday.

Ambrosetti- yes, Ottosen and Hanley- no, Failed consensus as a board action. Plass will send an email.

Director- fundamental policy- his workload does not allow the time he would like to give for a special

meeting. He would like to put it on the March agenda. No consensus on scheduling that now. Put in on

March Agenda

18. Adjournment: Action item

Hanley- moved to adjourn

Introductions

All members present introduced themselves

Approval of:

January 2025 Agenda

November 2024 Minutes

November 2024 Financial Statements

Motion to approve consent calendar by Angelic, seconded by Annette. Motion carried.

Business & Action items

• Cataloging Update: An update to cataloging guidelines pertaining to large print is incoming. Kari will

send it out for review, please email her with any questions or concerns.

• INL-Articles of Incorporation: This must be done to move forward with the Inland Northwest Libraries.

Once the articles are submitted to the Secretary of State and the office approves it, we will be official.

After approval we will need to move forward with new bylaws and a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA).

Discussion was held on the Articles of Incorporation and the history of CIN. Motion to approve the

Articles of Incorporation was made by Teri, Elizabeth seconded. Martin abstains from vote, motion

carries.

• INL-Accounting/Treasurer: It is not required that we have a treasurer but other consortiums operate

that way. The treasurer would not need to do bookkeeping, just coordinate with the bookkeeper. CLN

Fiscal Agent intends to resign following a two-month cost analysis of the time required for CIN tasks. To

manage CIN business moving forward, a bookkeeper will need to be contracted. No action taken.

• Courier: Discussion was held on issues with the current courier route. The courier has a potential

solution to the issue (doing Pinehurst/Harrison on Saturdays). CLN will discuss to see if that works for

them. It would likely require a contract change; we could also revert to the old schedule. No action

taken.

• Lost Items: Georgette would like the cost of an item to be left on the patron account when items are

lost, not removing the fee from the account when/if the item is returned. She found a workaround

code that could be tested and will work on that with Chris.

Adjournment: 11:57am

Next meeting: Wednesday, February 19, 2025 10AM. Coeur d’Alene Public Library/Microsoft Teams

End Notes

ttttttttttttttttttt

Sta-patron interactions:

February is such a fun month at the Pinehurst Library. It started with a

note of appreciation for sta. We love our community and our members.

We love that we get to provide access to information for our community. It

is awesome to know that they appreciate the team’s dedication.

We had a nice note from a member in the middle of the month as well, a

zen tangle drawing that the member wanted us to have. It is always nice

when our members remind us that we are appreciated. We care about our

members and their experience at the library.

Beep and Boop

In 2023, a community member retrotted two 6-foot robots that had

been donated to Community Library Network. Community members

were invited to participate in the rebuilding process. Once the robots

were operational, the twin robots did a tour around Community Library

Network. One of the robots was damaged during its return trip to Hayden,

but our community member was able to 3D Print a replacement head

last week. Now, both robots have returned to the Hayden Library where

members of all ages comment on the fun they provide and look forward to

piloting them at future events.

Program Highlights

February’s focus was Health Literacy. Health can mean something dierent to

each individual, dependent on what they are personally navigating in life, or what

they have already been through. According to CDC.gov “Personal Health Literacy

is the degree to which individuals have the ability to nd, understand, and use

information and services to inform health-related decisions and actions for

themselves and others.”

CLN Libraries play a crucial role in enhancing health literacy by providing our

patrons with access to reliable and up-to-date health information. We oer

a variety of resources, including books, online databases, and programs, that

cover a wide range of health topics. Additionally, we collaborate with local health

organizations to host informational sessions and health screenings, making it

easier for patrons to get the support they need. By fostering a welcoming and

informative environment, we empower individuals to make informed health

decisions and improve their overall well-being.

-Athol Library held a program on probiotics and enzymes. The program was

well attended and patrons requested that the speaker return.

-Hayden Library held a “Stop the Bleed” program where attendees learned

basic rst aid. Our presenters/teachers for this program are set of highly

skilled individuals: a former 911 dispatcher and volunteer reghter, a

honorably discharged Vietnam War medical corpsman and retired re chief,

an RN from Hospice of North Idaho, a retired reghter, a FEMA/Red Cross

volunteer, and ER Trauma Nurse.
