Since we have indeed managed to earn a modest surplus, I am enclosing a check in the sum of $2,000 made out to the Town of Tiburon. The Council was one of our earliest backers and its allocation of funds was critical to our success in raising additional funds from other sponsors. Please thank the Council members for us. As you know, the Festival was a popular, well-attended event and we are hopeful it will be successfully repeated next year. Kindly alert the Council members not to be surprised if we return next year with a similar plea for their support.

Chair's Report Chair Falk introduced the guests and thanked them for attending. She also thanked those involved in the architectural selection process for their effort. 2. BTLF Report The BTLF had their first meeting on September 11th following their summer hiatus. The Campaign Steering Committee has agreed that stakeholders must be the first to show their support of the library. The stakeholders are the members of the BTLF. Mary Falk will report for the BTLA at the next BTLF meeting. TRUSTEE CONSIDERATIONS: (taken out of order) 8. Building Program Planning Update Director Mazzolini introduced Anne-Marie Bonfilio the new Capital Campaign Manager who will be working Tuesday through Thursday developing the program for expansion fundraising. Anne-Marie said she will be meeting weekly with the Campaign Steering Committee. Her impression is that the community appears to be very supportive of the library and the expansion. Glenn Isaacson of Conversion Management Associates (CMA) was introduced. His firm was the construction manager for the original library construction eleven years ago. He submitted a proposal for Project Management/Owner's Representative services for the proposed expansion for a sum not to exceed $200,000. His own time will be provided pro bono. CMA's scope of services will include managing the design, construction and administration stages of the project through completion. The firm is available to make presentations during the fundraising effort. A motion to accept the proposal of CMA, Inc. to provide the project management services described, made by Trustee Otter and seconded by Trustee Epstein, passed unanimously. The firm Esherick Homsey Dodge & Davis (EHDD) was selected as the architect for the expansion and Andrew Sohn was present to explain their proposal for conceptual design services. This work will include the following: establish building parameters; locate the building on the site; establish relationships to site features such as utilities, property lines and the marsh; establish the character of the building; address the integration of new work and existing; address environmental mitigation measures; study parking and traffic flow; and provide visual materials suitable for fundraising. The proposal includes incorporating the Building Program, providing two design alternatives based on alternate site scenarios; meetings (12 - or as often as needed) with staff, city agencies and the public. The estimate for this work is $152,320. In addition, as the design progresses the need for Belvedere Tiburon Library Agency September 17, 2007 Minutes Page 2 additional consultants - cost estimator, various engineers and landscape architect - is anticipated. The total fee proposed including consultants is $197,320. A 3-D model will be provided once the final design is accepted. The goal for completion of the conceptual design stage is February 1,2008. Future billing rate increases will be limited to 50/0 but do not affect this contract. A motion to accept the proposal by EHDD with a modification to the meeting clause #6, made by Trustee Steger Johnson and seconded by Trustee Kuhns, was unanimously approved. Trustee Beverlee Johnson requested that the term "Library" be changed to read "Client" in the contract. STAFF, BOARD AND COMMITTEE REPORTS: (continued) 3. Library Director's report - Deborah Mazzolini Director Mazzolini informed the BTLA that the Marin County Free Library system has developed a facilities masterplan which they plan to put on a future ballot to raise funds. Their campaign name is the Future of Marin Libraries. This name seems to imply that all libraries in the county will benefit from this initiative. Anne-Marie Bonfilio commented that this could negatively impact the Belvedere- Tiburon Library's ability to fundraise for the expansion since many individuals are not aware that the County system is separate from the municipal, independent and private libraries. It was suggested that Director Mazzolini write a letter to the Marin County Board of Supervisors about our objections to this campaign slogan and ask that the purpose of the campaign effort be clarified. Trustee Steger Johnson recommended that an article be submitted to the Ark Newspaper to explain the situation. A motion to have Director Mazzolini write a letter to the Marin County Board of Supervisors with a copy to the Library Commission and Representative Charles McGlashan voicing the BTLA's concern as to the campaign for the Future of Marin Libraries, made by Trustee Epstein and seconded by Trustee Kuhns, passed. At the Tiburon Planning Commission meeting on September 1 ih, the Commission approved the streamlining process for the library's building expansion. There was one dissenter to the process, Allan Fenster, who submitted a letter from his attorney, albeit too late to be considered at the meeting, claiming the proposed streamlining ordinance to be unconstitutional. The Town of Tiburon had planned to vote on this subject at their meeting on September 19th but will now take the time to study the issue and add it to their agenda on October 3rd. Trustee Otter suggested that the Library investigate the cost and time necessary to take the expansion through the regular process. Even this may not prevent the Fenster's from attempting to stop this project at another level. With the selection of an architect and the Capital Campaign Manager, Director Mazzolini will be spending more time on expansion related activities. She has an assistant, Mary Vella, for administrative duties and has asked Abbot Chambers to be her assistant for library operations. This role will officially begin on October 1st and will include preparing statistical reports for the state. The formation of a Building Committee has been discussed. Its members should include Glenn Isaacson, the architect(s), the Library Director, and at least one BTLA member. Trustee Beverlee Johnson and Trustee Otter expressed interest this committee. Trustee Epstein noted that she would be willing to work on the fundraising activities. Belvedere Tiburon Library Agency September 17, 2007 Minutes Page 3 4. Financial statement for August 2007 In the second month of the fiscal year, the library appears to be over budget by about 20/0; however, the annual MARINnet/NBC expense has been paid in full to date, skewing the statistics. Chair Falk questioned the high expense in the building maintenance line item. This is due to the cost of re- paving the parking lot, which will eventually be taken from Building Reserves. Book sales and reference desk income were noted to already be at 350/0. 5. Committee Reports · The Art Committee jury was held last week to decide the exhibitors for the 2008 calendar year. There were nearly 60 submissions and the committee selected 10 to show. · The Program Committee calendar is included in the packet but the summary report from the last Film Series was not yet available. · The Bookmarks will host their annual fundraiser Blackie's Hay Day on Sunday, September 30th from 10:00 to 2:00. CONSENT CALENDAR: 6. Approval of minutes of August 20 and 22, 2007 A motion to approve the minutes made by Trustee Beverlee Johnson and seconded by Trustee Otter, passed. 7. Approval of warrants and in house check registers dated August 2007 A motion to approve the warrants and in-house check register made by Trustee Steger Johnson and seconded by Trustee Kuhns, passed. TRUSTEE CONSIDERATIONS: 9. Art Committee Contract The contract has been revised to describe in more detail the labeling of art work and the process for selling art. Art receptions will be held on Tuesdays. A motion to accept the revised Art Committee contract, made by Trustee Steger Johnson and seconded by Trustee Kuhns, was approved. 10. Landscaping Joy Kuhn has recently taken a more passive roll in the library landscaping and Dave Davenport is no longer with the Town of Tiburon. Leslie Doyle continues to monitor the landscaping and has agreed to have her crew handle the bulk of the routine grounds maintenance. The contract for maintenance with the Town of Tiburon will be revised and included in the agenda packet next month. COMMUNICATIONS 11. Monthly calendar 12.
