WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:06.000 We're good, all right, we'll call the meeting order at 6.01. 00:06.000 --> 00:12.000 We have, we know who is here. 00:12.000 --> 00:16.000 There's no correspondence that I'm aware of. 00:16.000 --> 00:17.000 No. 00:17.000 --> 00:21.000 Public comments. Is anyone here for public comment? Okay. 00:21.000 --> 00:24.000 Then we move on to the. 00:24.000 --> 00:26.000 Minutes from May. 00:26.000 --> 00:29.000 Make a motion to approve. Thank you. 00:29.000 --> 00:30.000 Thank you. 00:30.000 --> 00:31.000 Second. 00:31.000 --> 00:33.000 Thank you. All those in favor? 00:33.000 --> 00:34.000 Aye. 00:34.000 --> 00:38.000 Invoices for May. 00:38.000 --> 00:40.000 That motion to approve as well. 00:40.000 --> 00:42.000 Second. 00:42.000 --> 00:46.000 Was there anything out of the ordinary this month? 00:46.000 --> 00:51.000 We're paying a little bit more for maintenance because we've had additional. 00:51.000 --> 00:55.000 Issues with HVAC that were prior to. 00:56.000 --> 00:58.000 The install of the new air. 00:58.000 --> 01:01.000 So as of right now. 01:01.000 --> 01:06.000 Everything's working. Okay. First time in about two years. 01:06.000 --> 01:10.000 But yeah, there's additional. 01:10.000 --> 01:12.000 Cost there. Okay. 01:12.000 --> 01:16.000 All right. So we have a motion and a second. All those in favor? 01:16.000 --> 01:17.000 Aye. 01:17.000 --> 01:20.000 Revenue and expense report. 01:21.000 --> 01:26.000 So we're doing pretty good except. 01:26.000 --> 01:28.000 Under. 01:28.000 --> 01:31.000 We're a little bit over. 01:31.000 --> 01:36.000 On the building maintenance and that's that extra repair. 01:36.000 --> 01:39.000 And. 01:39.000 --> 01:44.000 Little parts cost a lot of money now. 01:44.000 --> 01:49.000 Unfortunately, we can't get out of it. 01:50.000 --> 01:54.000 So hopefully we won't have a lot of other building maintenance issues for the rest of the year. 01:54.000 --> 01:57.000 But all in all where we're. 01:57.000 --> 02:00.000 We're pretty right on track X really. 02:00.000 --> 02:05.000 We still have a little extra for the year. 02:05.000 --> 02:10.000 And you may see that we do have a large amount in. 02:10.000 --> 02:11.000 In the. 02:11.000 --> 02:14.000 In the book, but we're working really hard on. 02:15.000 --> 02:18.000 We're spending that. 02:18.000 --> 02:22.000 I'll make a motion to approve the revenue and expense report. 02:22.000 --> 02:24.000 I'll second. 02:24.000 --> 02:27.000 Thank you. All those in favor? 02:27.000 --> 02:32.000 Directors report. 02:32.000 --> 02:36.000 We're still fully staffed. 02:36.000 --> 02:37.000 Awesome. 02:37.000 --> 02:41.000 We haven't had this for a really long time. We're no one's leaving. So it's great. 02:42.000 --> 02:47.000 You're used to statistics are at the end of the report. 02:47.000 --> 02:50.000 And those are pretty self explanatory. 02:50.000 --> 02:55.000 Building update. 02:55.000 --> 02:59.000 So I just want to let you know that. 02:59.000 --> 03:02.000 I sent the information to Rob. 03:02.000 --> 03:07.000 Actually, he asked for it the next day of regarding the parking lot lighting. 03:08.000 --> 03:12.000 So he was going to get back to me. 03:12.000 --> 03:15.000 There's still a few. 03:15.000 --> 03:18.000 We're still waiting to get. 03:18.000 --> 03:22.000 The book lock are installed. 03:22.000 --> 03:28.000 We're waiting for the electrician. That's been a challenge. 03:28.000 --> 03:30.000 And. 03:30.000 --> 03:32.000 That's about it. 03:33.000 --> 03:40.000 Just we gave a lot of excess computer equipment. We took advantage of that free. 03:40.000 --> 03:43.000 Recycling event on last Friday. 03:43.000 --> 03:48.000 We didn't give them computers. All the computers are going to go to. 03:48.000 --> 03:52.000 The library system and they clean them out a little. 03:52.000 --> 03:59.000 They basically rip out the hard drive, but everything else was really old stuff that was not working. 04:00.000 --> 04:08.000 Okay. 04:08.000 --> 04:13.000 So new business. 04:13.000 --> 04:17.000 So the board is. 04:17.000 --> 04:21.000 Should elect. So we just have a president. 04:21.000 --> 04:26.000 Vice president and secretary. 04:27.000 --> 04:29.000 As I recall, we haven't done. 04:29.000 --> 04:31.000 They would really like us to start. 04:31.000 --> 04:35.000 Electing new officers on a yearly basis. 04:35.000 --> 04:40.000 Last time we did this was about, I think, two years ago. 04:40.000 --> 04:42.000 So. 04:42.000 --> 04:44.000 We can. 04:44.000 --> 04:49.000 If you'd like, we can table this until next month. 04:49.000 --> 04:55.000 Because we do have a new board member who wasn't able to attend. 04:55.000 --> 04:57.000 So I'm okay of. 04:57.000 --> 05:04.000 Well, it's the boards. Okay. Sorry. No, that's fine. I think that would be. 05:04.000 --> 05:05.000 Best. 05:05.000 --> 05:11.000 Because I'm going to kind of jump ahead to an item I was going to leave to the end, but we have a retiring member. 05:11.000 --> 05:13.000 On the board here with Jane. 05:13.000 --> 05:18.000 So we want to say thank you for your service to the board and congratulations on your retirement. 05:18.000 --> 05:22.000 Thank you so much. 05:22.000 --> 05:25.000 Yeah, I think I think for me, I'm fine as well. So I guess. 05:25.000 --> 05:31.000 I make a motion to table the election of board offices until the July 2026 meeting. 05:31.000 --> 05:35.000 Second. Thank you. All those in favor. 05:35.000 --> 05:39.000 So the next item. 05:39.000 --> 05:45.000 The mayor would like all board members to attend member training. 05:45.000 --> 05:49.000 Those are the dates. The one date. 05:50.000 --> 05:54.000 Please let Carrie know if you can attend either one of them. 05:54.000 --> 05:58.000 It's just a review of the expectations of. 05:58.000 --> 06:01.000 A board members and. 06:01.000 --> 06:04.000 You know, the goal is to know have a productive. 06:04.000 --> 06:10.000 Board to everyone get the invite or like at least an email from the assistance. Okay. 06:10.000 --> 06:14.000 All of a sudden carry a note to get it to everyone then. Okay. 06:14.000 --> 06:15.000 Oh, they did not. 06:16.000 --> 06:17.000 I did as an older, but I don't. 06:17.000 --> 06:21.000 I don't recall seeing one. I'll have Carrie email the board members. That means that. 06:21.000 --> 06:25.000 Well, no, I will send it out as well. Oh, go for a time. Thanks. Yeah. 06:25.000 --> 06:30.000 It's July 15th. There's a session in the morning. There's a session in the evening, but. 06:30.000 --> 06:32.000 Thanks Tom. Yeah. 06:32.000 --> 06:35.000 I really thought they went out. 06:35.000 --> 06:38.000 To all the board members. 06:38.000 --> 06:40.000 Okay. 06:40.000 --> 06:42.000 Now he's gonna. 06:42.000 --> 06:47.000 Okay. 06:47.000 --> 06:50.000 So the next item. 06:50.000 --> 06:55.000 There are training opportunities for board members. 06:55.000 --> 07:00.000 This is developed by the library office of DPI. 07:00.000 --> 07:05.000 I still call it the library office. It has a different name. 07:05.000 --> 07:08.000 But these are really good. 07:09.000 --> 07:11.000 Training. 07:11.000 --> 07:14.000 And I just realized that I don't have the link in here for you to sign up. 07:14.000 --> 07:17.000 So I will, you'll be getting both those emails tomorrow. 07:17.000 --> 07:20.000 I would recommend that. 07:20.000 --> 07:23.000 You, if you could at least. 07:23.000 --> 07:24.000 Go. 07:24.000 --> 07:28.000 Go to the webinar regarding AI and libraries. 07:28.000 --> 07:32.000 There are a lot of issues coming up. 07:32.000 --> 07:35.000 Regarding privacy. 07:36.000 --> 07:38.000 Regarding. 07:38.000 --> 07:41.000 How vendors are using AI. 07:41.000 --> 07:46.000 Some libraries have a very detailed policy. 07:46.000 --> 07:52.000 I don't think we're there yet. I mean, it's the one I saw it was four pages long. 07:52.000 --> 07:55.000 But there are some. 07:55.000 --> 07:59.000 Things for you to think about because it is rapidly changing their online, 07:59.000 --> 08:03.000 their online webinars, Tom. Yeah. 08:04.000 --> 08:09.000 And then, you know, it's a good review of Wisconsin library law. 08:09.000 --> 08:15.000 You know, we've already we're doing pretty good with collaborating with our community. 08:15.000 --> 08:16.000 But that. 08:16.000 --> 08:21.000 Also is a good opportunity to review. 08:21.000 --> 08:25.000 Some of the different strategies the board could take a look at. 08:25.000 --> 08:32.000 Do you happen to know if any of these webinars will cover off on relationships between libraries and friends groups and nonprofits. 08:33.000 --> 08:35.000 Not. 08:35.000 --> 08:39.000 Not that I'm aware this is the schedule they have for this year. 08:39.000 --> 08:42.000 So they usually have trustee training in August. 08:42.000 --> 08:44.000 So, but. 08:44.000 --> 08:52.000 You're more than willing to go to send them an email and offer suggestions and different workshops. 08:52.000 --> 08:57.000 Are there any questions. 08:58.000 --> 09:03.000 That's good. And I, if I recall, these will be recorded. 09:03.000 --> 09:07.000 And I think they're available for like three to four months. 09:07.000 --> 09:11.000 Okay. 09:11.000 --> 09:13.000 For 2027. 09:13.000 --> 09:17.000 So you do have the budget process overview. 09:17.000 --> 09:23.000 There was a department head meeting on last Tuesday. 09:24.000 --> 09:30.000 Just to mark went through the schedule. 09:30.000 --> 09:37.000 I have not seen the capital plan yet. 09:37.000 --> 09:40.000 I don't know where the library. 09:40.000 --> 09:44.000 Is on that on the list. 09:44.000 --> 09:49.000 We were supposed to get a copy, but we haven't. 09:50.000 --> 09:54.000 I haven't received a copy out of the final plan. 09:54.000 --> 10:00.000 And then the whole operating budget. 10:00.000 --> 10:04.000 That really will pertain to us. 10:04.000 --> 10:12.000 I. 10:12.000 --> 10:17.000 Don't plan on really asking for much. 10:18.000 --> 10:23.000 So maybe an increase in the materials budget because the prices keep going up. 10:23.000 --> 10:28.000 And, and that's mainly with the digital content. 10:28.000 --> 10:31.000 You know, we've been looking at the use of. 10:31.000 --> 10:33.000 Hoopla. 10:33.000 --> 10:36.000 And it's still being used quite a bit. 10:36.000 --> 10:38.000 And it's very interesting. 10:38.000 --> 10:44.000 As a reminder, we actually got it for the movies, but it's audio books that. 10:44.000 --> 10:46.000 It's still number one. 10:47.000 --> 10:51.000 It's still averaging about $700 a month. 10:51.000 --> 10:56.000 And I am saving money in the budget to cover that through the rest of the year. 10:56.000 --> 11:01.000 So we may have to talk in August about. 11:01.000 --> 11:04.000 If we want to continue. 11:04.000 --> 11:08.000 I'm there is one thing you should be aware of. 11:08.000 --> 11:15.000 Overdrive, which is in our main vendor for digital books. 11:16.000 --> 11:21.000 Was unfortunately bought by private equity firm. 11:21.000 --> 11:26.000 And just talking to a few people. 11:26.000 --> 11:30.000 They are a little worried at the state. 11:30.000 --> 11:36.000 That they're, I mean, from what I haven't gotten confirmation, they've already told them prices are going up. 11:36.000 --> 11:41.000 And, you know, we've already the two year budget for the state. It's already passed. 11:42.000 --> 11:50.000 So we may have to offer a little more for digital content and 27. 11:50.000 --> 11:53.000 It hasn't been. 11:53.000 --> 11:56.000 We haven't gotten any cost or anything, but. 11:56.000 --> 12:00.000 Unfortunately, when private equity take over. 12:00.000 --> 12:03.000 A company. 12:03.000 --> 12:07.000 It's not like usually best for the customer. 12:07.000 --> 12:09.000 It's. 12:09.000 --> 12:11.000 So. 12:11.000 --> 12:15.000 We'll have to wait and see. Hopefully, we'll know sooner rather than later. 12:15.000 --> 12:19.000 About if there's going to be any additional costs. 12:19.000 --> 12:20.000 I know the. 12:20.000 --> 12:25.000 The Monoch library system is looking at this very closely and. 12:25.000 --> 12:28.000 Making sure. 12:28.000 --> 12:31.000 Knowing. 12:31.000 --> 12:34.000 Making sure they know what's going on, because. 12:35.000 --> 12:37.000 This is the main. 12:37.000 --> 12:40.000 Resource that the state uses to provide. 12:40.000 --> 12:43.000 Digital content to all. 12:43.000 --> 12:44.000 State residents. 12:44.000 --> 12:48.000 And we were overdrive the largest customer. 12:48.000 --> 12:51.000 So. 12:51.000 --> 12:54.000 Yeah, it could be interesting. 12:54.000 --> 12:58.000 Everyone were really doing well with their digital content and make it. 12:58.000 --> 13:01.000 And they get a little rocky. 13:01.000 --> 13:03.000 Tom. 13:04.000 --> 13:08.000 When you said about who will be in 700 a month, put that in perspective. 13:08.000 --> 13:11.000 Is it possible to find out how many. 13:11.000 --> 13:13.000 Audio books are being. 13:13.000 --> 13:15.000 Accessed through that. 13:15.000 --> 13:20.000 You know, where the 700 might sound like a lot, but if there's a lot of content being used. 13:20.000 --> 13:22.000 The cost per item. 13:22.000 --> 13:26.000 You know, might bring that back into more reasonable. 13:26.000 --> 13:27.000 It's heavily used. 13:27.000 --> 13:31.000 I think that remember correctly with 500 auto audio books. 13:31.000 --> 13:32.000 Okay. 13:33.000 --> 13:36.000 Yeah, so it's like about a dollar and a half dollar and a quarter per book. 13:36.000 --> 13:37.000 Right. 13:37.000 --> 13:39.000 Which seems really reasonable. 13:39.000 --> 13:40.000 Right. 13:40.000 --> 13:44.000 So is it possible that hoopla could fill the. 13:44.000 --> 13:45.000 Overdrive. 13:45.000 --> 13:49.000 Space or at least help to close that gap and. 13:49.000 --> 13:51.000 It could for. 13:51.000 --> 13:52.000 Definitely. 13:52.000 --> 13:54.000 The. 13:54.000 --> 13:57.000 Audio book component. 13:58.000 --> 14:03.000 They don't have the collection size that overdrive has. 14:03.000 --> 14:06.000 In terms of the digital, the. 14:06.000 --> 14:08.000 The traditional print book. 14:08.000 --> 14:11.000 So. 14:11.000 --> 14:13.000 It's. 14:13.000 --> 14:17.000 Overdrive's print and digital. 14:17.000 --> 14:19.000 Well, no, overdrive. 14:19.000 --> 14:22.000 They, their specialty has always been ebooks. 14:22.000 --> 14:23.000 Okay. 14:23.000 --> 14:24.000 And then. 14:24.000 --> 14:26.000 They have had audio books as well. 14:27.000 --> 14:29.000 But they're restricted. 14:29.000 --> 14:30.000 Okay. 14:30.000 --> 14:32.000 One of the changes. 14:32.000 --> 14:34.000 The differences with hoopla. 14:34.000 --> 14:36.000 They have different. 14:36.000 --> 14:39.000 Contracts with the publishers. 14:39.000 --> 14:41.000 And. 14:41.000 --> 14:45.000 They don't have the restrictions like. 14:45.000 --> 14:50.000 So a really popular book can go out. 14:50.000 --> 14:52.000 Multiple times. 14:52.000 --> 14:55.000 Whereas in overdrive only one person can have it. 14:55.000 --> 14:59.000 So it depends on how many copies of the book they have. 14:59.000 --> 15:02.000 So there's much more flexibility with hoopla. 15:02.000 --> 15:05.000 But that could also change. 15:05.000 --> 15:06.000 That's. 15:06.000 --> 15:08.000 That's why we got to keep. 15:08.000 --> 15:13.000 A good eye on on both companies because. 15:13.000 --> 15:16.000 And then there's the whole publishers and what. 15:16.000 --> 15:19.000 They want to start charging. 15:19.000 --> 15:23.000 Just a reminder publishers are not friends of the library. 15:24.000 --> 15:26.000 They're not friends of the library. 15:26.000 --> 15:27.000 Okay. 15:27.000 --> 15:29.000 Their goal is to make as much money as they can. 15:29.000 --> 15:31.000 You know, so we met. 15:31.000 --> 15:32.000 Just a reminder. 15:32.000 --> 15:35.000 We're the state pays $76 or more. 15:35.000 --> 15:37.000 For a copy of an ebook. 15:37.000 --> 15:39.000 For one. 15:39.000 --> 15:42.000 And once I have titles used 26 times. 15:42.000 --> 15:44.000 They got to buy it again. 15:44.000 --> 15:46.000 So. 15:46.000 --> 15:49.000 There are there is legislation. 15:49.000 --> 15:51.000 I know a la is really working on. 15:51.000 --> 15:54.000 I know a lot of people are working on the library. 15:54.000 --> 15:56.000 But. 15:56.000 --> 16:02.000 That's going to be it's going to take a while to get in my view to get that passed. 16:02.000 --> 16:04.000 We're having state buildings on database. 16:04.000 --> 16:05.000 Pardon. 16:05.000 --> 16:08.000 We're having the state buildings on database and purchase the books out. 16:08.000 --> 16:09.000 Right. 16:09.000 --> 16:10.000 Yes. 16:10.000 --> 16:12.000 That's massive. 16:12.000 --> 16:14.000 I don't see the state doing that. 16:14.000 --> 16:16.000 They don't have the infrastructure in place. 16:16.000 --> 16:17.000 Yeah. 16:18.000 --> 16:21.000 There are states that are doing that. 16:21.000 --> 16:26.000 I believe Colorado is one state. 16:26.000 --> 16:28.000 But. 16:28.000 --> 16:30.000 We'll just have to wait and see. 16:30.000 --> 16:31.000 Thank you. 16:31.000 --> 16:35.000 Yeah, publishers are there to make money, not to. 16:35.000 --> 16:36.000 Right. 16:36.000 --> 16:38.000 Give away things. 16:38.000 --> 16:39.000 Yeah. 16:39.000 --> 16:40.000 But. 16:40.000 --> 16:41.000 Good news. 16:41.000 --> 16:43.000 The Senate summer reading program kicked off. 16:43.000 --> 16:44.000 Yes. 16:45.000 --> 16:50.000 We already have 572 people signed up. 16:50.000 --> 16:54.000 The kickoff event was very successful. 16:54.000 --> 16:56.000 People of the. 16:56.000 --> 16:57.000 The presenter. 16:57.000 --> 17:02.000 Staff did a tremendous job. 17:02.000 --> 17:08.000 Organizing and making Iran smoothly. 17:09.000 --> 17:13.000 And hats off extra hats off to. 17:13.000 --> 17:17.000 They did all the planning. 17:17.000 --> 17:20.000 The first story time in the following week. 17:20.000 --> 17:25.000 There was 90 people there, which may be a record. 17:25.000 --> 17:27.000 Just for. 17:27.000 --> 17:31.000 A traditional story time. 17:31.000 --> 17:34.000 Says the library. 17:34.000 --> 17:36.000 Is being used. 17:37.000 --> 17:39.000 We have definitely seen. 17:39.000 --> 17:42.000 An increase of traffic and. 17:42.000 --> 17:46.000 You know, this is a standard practice for when the economy is. 17:46.000 --> 17:48.000 Kind of goofy. 17:48.000 --> 17:52.000 And people look for ways to. 17:52.000 --> 17:56.000 Be a little more frugal and the library will definitely see an increase. 17:56.000 --> 17:59.000 In usage, but. 17:59.000 --> 18:02.000 There's a lot of great programs for the next two months. 18:03.000 --> 18:07.000 So please promote the program to family because it is for adults. 18:07.000 --> 18:08.000 Deans. 18:08.000 --> 18:10.000 Not just kids. 18:10.000 --> 18:11.000 And. 18:11.000 --> 18:13.000 And we're hoping. 18:13.000 --> 18:15.000 We can beat 800. 18:15.000 --> 18:18.000 That's like the record is 800. 18:18.000 --> 18:20.000 That was pre-COVID. 18:20.000 --> 18:21.000 But. 18:21.000 --> 18:25.000 I don't know if you've read this or have seen this, but. 18:25.000 --> 18:28.000 Unfortunately, the statistics regarding. 18:28.000 --> 18:31.000 Reading and reading comprehension. 18:32.000 --> 18:33.000 It's falling. 18:33.000 --> 18:35.000 Well, as. 18:35.000 --> 18:36.000 Folks in the school board. 18:36.000 --> 18:41.000 No, I mean, you see the statistics, but it's all also happening with adults. 18:41.000 --> 18:46.000 Adults just reading in general is way down. 18:46.000 --> 18:50.000 So we're going to continue to promote. 18:50.000 --> 18:54.000 The positive aspects of literacy. 18:54.000 --> 18:57.000 I just want to say thank you to the whole staff at the library. 18:58.000 --> 19:02.000 I know it takes a village in all hands on deck whenever I go in there and the fact that. 19:02.000 --> 19:05.000 Different departments are helping the kids department out. 19:05.000 --> 19:07.000 It's wonderful and circulation is huge and planning. 19:07.000 --> 19:10.000 A lot of time and effort goes into planning a program. 19:10.000 --> 19:13.000 That's weeks long and to get those kids to read in those parents in here. 19:13.000 --> 19:14.000 So thank you. 19:14.000 --> 19:16.000 Oh, you're welcome. 19:16.000 --> 19:18.000 And I'll have to staff now. 19:18.000 --> 19:20.000 Yeah, thank you. 19:20.000 --> 19:25.000 So the next item. 19:26.000 --> 19:28.000 Is. 19:28.000 --> 19:32.000 We've been approached by a rep of representative. 19:32.000 --> 19:35.000 From B three. 19:35.000 --> 19:37.000 The gentleman is here. 19:37.000 --> 19:38.000 Joel. 19:38.000 --> 19:40.000 Right, Joel. 19:40.000 --> 19:41.000 Sorry. 19:41.000 --> 19:43.000 Geribald names. 19:43.000 --> 19:46.000 They have started a cool program. 19:46.000 --> 19:52.000 In Port Washington and would like the library to participate. 19:53.000 --> 19:56.000 And there's no reason we are. 19:56.000 --> 19:57.000 We can't. 19:57.000 --> 20:02.000 So it's where they will bring seniors. 20:02.000 --> 20:04.000 To the library. 20:04.000 --> 20:06.000 Using an electric. 20:06.000 --> 20:08.000 Trisha. 20:08.000 --> 20:10.000 Am I saying that correctly? 20:10.000 --> 20:12.000 There is a picture of a trisha. 20:12.000 --> 20:14.000 It's not the exact one. 20:15.000 --> 20:22.000 But we're like, I talked to staff and they're like, Oh, yeah, we should do this. 20:22.000 --> 20:23.000 We can do this. 20:23.000 --> 20:25.000 We already have. 20:25.000 --> 20:29.000 A working relationship with harbor house. 20:29.000 --> 20:32.000 And that's where the trishars are kept. 20:32.000 --> 20:34.000 So. 20:34.000 --> 20:39.000 I just need a yes from the board and we'll start working with. 20:40.000 --> 20:45.000 With Joel, if anyone has any questions for Joel regarding the program, you know, it started in Denmark. 20:45.000 --> 20:49.000 You know, it's just, it's just a positive. 20:49.000 --> 20:51.000 It's positive all the way around. 20:51.000 --> 20:57.000 And, you know, we'll, we'll try and see what happens. 20:57.000 --> 20:59.000 Is there any expense to it? 20:59.000 --> 21:00.000 Mm hmm. 21:00.000 --> 21:01.000 Is there an expense? 21:01.000 --> 21:02.000 No. 21:02.000 --> 21:04.000 Everything's covered. 21:04.000 --> 21:05.000 I think that's fantastic. 21:05.000 --> 21:08.000 I mean, and coming off of your reading comprehension. 21:08.000 --> 21:11.000 This is the muscles behind it. 21:11.000 --> 21:12.000 Yes. 21:12.000 --> 21:22.000 But the program, like briefly, like who you give rides to and what it. 21:22.000 --> 21:24.000 The outreach that you have so far. 21:24.000 --> 21:27.000 You would need to. 21:27.000 --> 21:30.000 We need your address in your first part. 21:31.000 --> 21:36.000 There you go. 21:36.000 --> 21:38.000 Joel Weinberger. 21:38.000 --> 21:41.000 One zero zero two West Laraby street. 21:41.000 --> 21:42.000 Washington. 21:42.000 --> 21:46.000 We've started cycling without age. 21:46.000 --> 21:50.000 In 2020, the year of the COVID. 21:50.000 --> 21:52.000 And it was really our prep year. 21:52.000 --> 21:58.000 So right now, this is our fifth full year of providing rides to seniors. 21:59.000 --> 22:01.000 And each year we expand. 22:01.000 --> 22:03.000 We just do a little bit more. 22:03.000 --> 22:06.000 Our first tri Shaw came from B three. 22:06.000 --> 22:09.000 And most of the money. 22:09.000 --> 22:12.000 For the rest of it came from the rotary club. 22:12.000 --> 22:14.000 And we've got our first tri Shaw. 22:14.000 --> 22:17.000 In the following year, we got a second tri Shaw. 22:17.000 --> 22:21.000 And then the following year, we said, heck, how are we going to move these around? 22:21.000 --> 22:23.000 We got a trailer. 22:24.000 --> 22:26.000 And the. 22:26.000 --> 22:33.000 Fourth year, we decided that we were going to try to expand into the community, give more rides. 22:33.000 --> 22:37.000 And my goal this year was to get another tri Shaw. 22:37.000 --> 22:42.000 So that turned out rather quickly in March, we had our third tri Shaw. 22:42.000 --> 22:45.000 So here in poor Washington, we have two. 22:45.000 --> 22:50.000 And that's kept at Harbor campus, which is a Capri community. 22:51.000 --> 22:55.000 And there's also a community in Grafton. 22:55.000 --> 22:59.000 And that's where our third tri Shaw sets. 22:59.000 --> 23:01.000 So. 23:01.000 --> 23:07.000 The program started in Denmark around 2012. 23:07.000 --> 23:13.000 And there's a TED talk in 2014, and they were all excited. 23:13.000 --> 23:16.000 They're moving from five cities in Denmark. 23:16.000 --> 23:18.000 To Norway. 23:18.000 --> 23:24.000 And right now cycling without ages in approximately 52 countries. 23:24.000 --> 23:29.000 So it's really, really grown in a matter of 10 years. 23:29.000 --> 23:35.000 The amount of enjoyment I get and the rest. 23:35.000 --> 23:38.000 People that drive everybody around were called pilots. 23:38.000 --> 23:45.000 But the amount of enjoyment we get taking the people out is just unbelievable. 23:46.000 --> 23:49.000 It's some of these ladies will tell you stories. 23:49.000 --> 23:53.000 And we just laugh and laugh. 23:53.000 --> 23:55.000 Very, very interesting. 23:55.000 --> 24:01.000 And what are the biggest things we take people out from memory care. 24:01.000 --> 24:04.000 And I wish the families would ride along. 24:04.000 --> 24:11.000 Once we're out and we start talking, you would think, why are these people in memory care? 24:12.000 --> 24:15.000 They don't seem to have dementia or Alzheimer. 24:15.000 --> 24:17.000 And unfortunately, they do. 24:17.000 --> 24:25.000 And it's just unbelievable getting them out into the fresh air. 24:25.000 --> 24:28.000 Seeing that, you know, where they grew up in the lake. 24:28.000 --> 24:30.000 And I think there's been quite a few comments. 24:30.000 --> 24:31.000 Right. 24:31.000 --> 24:36.000 Walked on memory lane by getting out and these bikes and these pilots are. 24:36.000 --> 24:38.000 It's huge. 24:38.000 --> 24:43.000 I wish I could record the history because these people will ride out. 24:43.000 --> 24:44.000 They'll be riding along. 24:44.000 --> 24:48.000 They'll tell me the original owners of all the homes. 24:48.000 --> 24:52.000 It's just incredible. 24:52.000 --> 24:54.000 How do you handle the hill when you go eat the library? 24:54.000 --> 25:01.000 It's called an e-bike. 25:01.000 --> 25:02.000 It's an assist. 25:02.000 --> 25:07.000 We don't say it's cheating. 25:08.000 --> 25:09.000 Any other questions? 25:09.000 --> 25:11.000 I make motion to approve. 25:11.000 --> 25:12.000 Thanks, Sean. 25:12.000 --> 25:13.000 You're welcome. 25:13.000 --> 25:14.000 Thank you. 25:14.000 --> 25:17.000 We have a motion. 25:17.000 --> 25:18.000 I'll second. 25:18.000 --> 25:19.000 We've got all kinds of seconds. 25:19.000 --> 25:20.000 I think then. 25:20.000 --> 25:23.000 I will ask for a vote, but I mean, I need to. 25:23.000 --> 25:25.000 All those in favor. 25:25.000 --> 25:30.000 Yeah, I think that's a great, a great thing and being one person at a time. 25:30.000 --> 25:31.000 Can you bring two? 25:32.000 --> 25:33.000 Okay. 25:33.000 --> 25:41.000 So I will be working with Alyssa. 25:41.000 --> 25:51.000 She's going to oversee it and we'll get an article in the paper, get some pictures, hopefully, and we're going to try to get to started right away. 25:51.000 --> 25:54.000 And it just actually fits in nicely. 25:55.000 --> 26:00.000 We do have a very successful memory care program with the county with that meets at the library. 26:00.000 --> 26:07.000 You know, there may be ways to partner and, you know, and do some additional things. 26:07.000 --> 26:12.000 I mean, I'm just thinking out loud, but I think this is a great collaboration and. 26:12.000 --> 26:16.000 You know, thanks to be three for setting. 26:17.000 --> 26:24.000 An example, because this program has fat has spread quickly across the United States. 26:24.000 --> 26:29.000 It's they have it and they have it in a lot of Wisconsin communities. 26:29.000 --> 26:32.000 And so it's great that ports going to participate. 26:32.000 --> 26:36.000 As long as we're public here, do we need any more pilots or we set on pilots? 26:36.000 --> 26:39.000 We always encourage you. 26:39.000 --> 26:45.000 Yes, we are looking for anybody who's interested in piloting in triasha. 26:46.000 --> 26:51.000 It's a fairly intensive training program. 26:51.000 --> 26:54.000 Designed by Wisconsin bike. 26:54.000 --> 26:58.000 Specifically for second. 26:58.000 --> 26:59.000 Okay. 27:03.000 --> 27:05.000 Thank you. 27:05.000 --> 27:07.000 Okay. 27:07.000 --> 27:11.000 We've been under the possible action on fines and fee policy. 27:12.000 --> 27:13.000 So. 27:15.000 --> 27:22.000 We talked about city fees at the department had meeting and Tuesday. 27:22.000 --> 27:25.000 And it's my understanding other departments. 27:25.000 --> 27:30.000 We were encouraged not to really raise them since fees have gone up a lot. 27:30.000 --> 27:35.000 And other divisions. So, and so doing. 27:35.000 --> 27:37.000 So we keep in schedule with the city. 27:38.000 --> 27:44.000 I just need a vote. I don't plan on. I don't think we need to raise fines or fees at this moment. 27:44.000 --> 27:47.000 So if anyone has any questions. 27:47.000 --> 27:54.000 It looks like maximum prices, $10, right? That's the most you have to pay if you were delinquent. 27:54.000 --> 27:55.000 Yes. 27:55.000 --> 27:56.000 Okay. 27:56.000 --> 27:58.000 So we really. 27:58.000 --> 28:01.000 Try to get the material back. 28:01.000 --> 28:06.000 So we will waive fines as we can get the material back. 28:07.000 --> 28:09.000 If it goes to collection agency. 28:09.000 --> 28:13.000 We, we don't waive the collection fee. 28:13.000 --> 28:17.000 That's the only thing we don't. 28:17.000 --> 28:18.000 We don't do. 28:18.000 --> 28:19.000 But, you know. 28:19.000 --> 28:22.000 I wish we. 28:22.000 --> 28:28.000 We can address this maybe next year is we wouldn't charge kids. 28:28.000 --> 28:31.000 For fines. 28:32.000 --> 28:37.000 But at this time, we need that revenue. 28:37.000 --> 28:42.000 But yeah, so. 28:42.000 --> 28:50.000 I think our fees are fine to be very reasonable. 28:50.000 --> 28:53.000 Move to approve. 28:53.000 --> 28:56.000 Thank you. Second. Thank you. All those in favor. 28:56.000 --> 29:00.000 So the last is. 29:01.000 --> 29:06.000 You need to vote on the rules of conduct. We've made the recommended changes. 29:06.000 --> 29:11.000 There, there's not a really good city ordinance that pertains directly to. 29:11.000 --> 29:17.000 Library vandalism, that type of stuff. So I just took that out. 29:17.000 --> 29:22.000 Because either way, if any of it have, we just call the police and. 29:22.000 --> 29:26.000 Fortunately, nothing like that has happened. 29:27.000 --> 29:29.000 And. 29:29.000 --> 29:32.000 But I think. 29:32.000 --> 29:34.000 Our expectations. 29:34.000 --> 29:36.000 For page and behavior. 29:36.000 --> 29:39.000 Fowls with other libraries. 29:39.000 --> 29:47.000 Are doing. 29:47.000 --> 29:49.000 Motion to approve. Thank you. 29:49.000 --> 29:52.000 Second. Thank you. All those in favor. 29:53.000 --> 29:55.000 Okay. 29:55.000 --> 29:58.000 There's nothing else on the agenda. 29:58.000 --> 30:05.000 Motion to adjourn. 30:05.000 --> 30:07.000 Second. 30:07.000 --> 30:10.000 Thank you. All those in favor. 30:10.000 --> 30:14.000 We are adjourned. Thanks everyone.
