Library Board Executive Director-
Mayor Gohnski stated the Library Board is looking to replace the retired executive director. He discussed the Library's budget deficit. One option would be for the City to increase the amount it contributes to the library fund. He mentioned an idea presented by Director of Parks and Recreation Evans that the Library enter into a shared services agreement. Mayor Golinski was informed by City Administrator Olson that this type of arrangement has been used in other municipalities.
City Administrator Olson explained how the shared services system would work under the department of Parks and Recreation. He outlined five benefits ofhaving shared services.
1. The executive director position would be eliminated for substantial cost savings.
2. Move Parks and Rec front desk workers to the Library front desk to supplement staffing.
3. Have Director of Parks and Recreation Evans oversee the operations of the Library.
4. Utilize existing rooms in the Library. This can be folded into the inventory of Parks and Recs and have classes there. This could create more revenue for the library.
5. Co advertising for the Library and the Parks and Recs Department.
City Administrator Olson believes that this type of agreement could benefit both the City and the Library. Alderman Colosimo asked how the board felt about the idea, when it was presented. Alderman Tarulis was at the meeting yesterday and the initial reaction was negative. He stated that after discussion there was a general consensus to pursue it. Mayor Golinski stated all that can be asked is that the Library Board keeps an open mind to the idea.
