00:00:03.514 --> 00:00:09.114
<v Yazmin Mehdi>I think the only things we have to vote
on are at the beginning of the agenda.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/20-0
00:00:04.634 --> 00:00:04.794
<v Ron Chew>Yeah.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/25-0
00:00:10.714 --> 00:00:14.905
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Okay,
it is 1101 and I would like to call this</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/25-1
00:00:14.905 --> 00:00:20.791
<v Yazmin Mehdi>meeting of the Seattle Public Library
Board of Trustees to order.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/25-2
00:00:20.791 --> 00:00:26.943
<v Yazmin Mehdi>This is a regular meeting.
We need to start by approving the agenda,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/25-3
00:00:26.943 --> 00:00:28.994
<v Yazmin Mehdi>but we have one change.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/26-0
00:00:29.914 --> 00:00:35.662
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Literature and Humanities Program Manager
Stesha Brandon is working to finalize</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/26-1
00:00:35.662 --> 00:00:40.978
<v Yazmin Mehdi>contracts with the proposed author for
this year's Seattle Reads program.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/26-2
00:00:40.978 --> 00:00:45.145
<v Yazmin Mehdi>And now I'm so curious about who that is.
Thanks, Stesha.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/26-3
00:00:45.145 --> 00:00:50.389
<v Yazmin Mehdi>So we will strike that report from
today's meeting and bring the Seattle</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/26-4
00:00:50.389 --> 00:00:51.754
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Reads update to our</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/28-0
00:00:51.994 --> 00:00:57.150
<v Yazmin Mehdi>August meeting when contracts are signed
and the book selection is official.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/28-1
00:00:57.150 --> 00:01:02.105
<v Yazmin Mehdi>So we'll all have to suspend our
curiosity until August. If there are no,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/28-2
00:01:02.105 --> 00:01:05.118
<v Yazmin Mehdi>if there are no other changes to the
agenda,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/28-3
00:01:05.118 --> 00:01:10.474
<v Yazmin Mehdi>may I hear a motion to approve today's
agenda without a system report as noted?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/27-0
00:01:12.634 --> 00:01:13.354
<v Faith Pettis>So moved.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/29-0
00:01:14.314 --> 00:01:14.874
<v Bendixen, Carmen>Second.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/30-0
00:01:15.554 --> 00:01:17.674
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Great. All in favor, please say aye.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/31-0
00:01:18.474 --> 00:01:19.034
<v Ron Chew>I.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/32-0
00:01:18.954 --> 00:01:19.514
<v Bendixen, Carmen>I.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/33-0
00:01:19.434 --> 00:01:19.754
<v Faith Pettis>I...</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/35-0
00:01:20.954 --> 00:01:24.122
<v Yazmin Mehdi>And that passes unanimously.
Let's move on.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/35-1
00:01:24.122 --> 00:01:29.378
<v Yazmin Mehdi>As noted at the top of the agenda,
the library board is accepting public</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/35-2
00:01:29.378 --> 00:01:33.914
<v Yazmin Mehdi>comments that are directed to matters on
the agenda by e-mail,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/35-3
00:01:33.914 --> 00:01:38.738
<v Yazmin Mehdi>in person at the Central Library,
and in this remote meeting. Amy,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/35-4
00:01:38.738 --> 00:01:40.754
<v Yazmin Mehdi>is there any public comment?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/36-0
00:01:41.794 --> 00:01:44.634
<v Hybrid Meeting Cart 01>There is no public comment by any of the
three members.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/37-0
00:01:46.114 --> 00:01:49.781
<v Yazmin Mehdi>All right, then.
We have a consent agenda with minutes</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/37-1
00:01:49.781 --> 00:01:54.714
<v Yazmin Mehdi>from our June regular meeting,
as well as May and June financial reports.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/37-2
00:01:54.714 --> 00:01:59.848
<v Yazmin Mehdi>If no one has changes to these documents,
may I hear a motion to approve the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/37-3
00:01:59.848 --> 00:02:01.714
<v Yazmin Mehdi>consent agenda as published?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/38-0
00:02:05.634 --> 00:02:06.074
<v Tali Hairston>Domoot.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/39-0
00:02:06.874 --> 00:02:07.434
<v Faith Pettis>Second.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/41-0
00:02:08.194 --> 00:02:11.074
<v Yazmin Mehdi>All in favor, please say aye. Aye.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/43-0
00:02:10.474 --> 00:02:11.834
<v Faith Pettis>Aye. OK.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/40-0
00:02:11.114 --> 00:02:11.514
<v Bendixen, Carmen>I.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/42-0
00:02:11.234 --> 00:02:11.594
<v Tali Hairston>Right.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/47-0
00:02:13.354 --> 00:02:20.365
<v Yazmin Mehdi>and that also is approved unanimously.
So we can move right along to Tom's</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/44-0
00:02:14.434 --> 00:02:14.554
<v Tom Fay>Yeah.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/46-0
00:02:15.914 --> 00:02:16.154
<v Tom Fay>Three.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/47-1
00:02:20.365 --> 00:02:21.954
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Librarian report.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/48-0
00:02:24.074 --> 00:02:27.451
<v Tom Fay>Well,
I'm going to probably just have it stand</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/48-1
00:02:27.451 --> 00:02:30.900
<v Tom Fay>as is,
but I wanted to mention that I am out at</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/48-2
00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:35.426
<v Tom Fay>the IDC branch today.
They did reopen this morning at 10 A.m.,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/48-3
00:02:35.426 --> 00:02:40.095
<v Tom Fay>so very good news there.
Staff are working to put all the pieces</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/48-4
00:02:40.095 --> 00:02:42.394
<v Tom Fay>back into place after being down</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/51-0
00:02:42.794 --> 00:02:47.683
<v Tom Fay>a few months.
We looked closely with our facilities</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/51-1
00:02:47.683 --> 00:02:51.914
<v Tom Fay>folks,
our CIP folks and skip the to resolve</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/51-2
00:02:51.914 --> 00:02:56.898
<v Tom Fay>this matter.
We appreciate their support and efforts</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/51-3
00:02:56.898 --> 00:03:01.034
<v Tom Fay>to get the branch reopened and ready to
go.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/52-0
00:03:03.034 --> 00:03:08.108
<v Tom Fay>working diligently to work through some
backlog and material that's being checked</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/52-1
00:03:08.108 --> 00:03:10.831
<v Tom Fay>in,
but they seem to be in good spirits and</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/52-2
00:03:10.831 --> 00:03:14.234
<v Tom Fay>doing well as patrons are starting to
come in as well.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/53-0
00:03:15.994 --> 00:03:21.705
<v Tom Fay>I would also draw your attention to a
couple of reports that were in the packet</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/53-1
00:03:21.705 --> 00:03:27.630
<v Tom Fay>from collections and special collections.
I think there's some really good nuggets</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/53-2
00:03:27.630 --> 00:03:33.555
<v Tom Fay>of information in there about their work.
And I'll turn it back over to Yazmin for</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/53-3
00:03:33.555 --> 00:03:34.554
<v Tom Fay>any questions.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/54-0
00:03:35.554 --> 00:03:41.340
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Great. Well, I wanted to say,
first of all, thank you, Tom,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/54-1
00:03:41.340 --> 00:03:47.896
<v Yazmin Mehdi>for being at the branch there,
both because we want to confirm that</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/54-2
00:03:47.896 --> 00:03:53.874
<v Yazmin Mehdi>there is no smell and also to welcome
back patrons and staff.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/56-0
00:03:55.074 --> 00:04:01.062
<v Yazmin Mehdi>I know it's been a trying time for the
regular patrons of that branch and nobody</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/56-1
00:04:01.062 --> 00:04:06.680
<v Yazmin Mehdi>ever wants to have a branch closed,
but it sounds like that needed a little</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/56-2
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:11.411
<v Yazmin Mehdi>additional remediation.
So I'm really glad that we were able to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/56-3
00:04:11.411 --> 00:04:13.554
<v Yazmin Mehdi>take care of that and get it.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/59-0
00:04:13.594 --> 00:04:18.698
<v Yazmin Mehdi>opened back up.
The other thing I just wanted to note is</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/59-1
00:04:18.698 --> 00:04:24.428
<v Yazmin Mehdi>the reports in our packet,
one of the things that I find really</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/59-2
00:04:24.428 --> 00:04:28.636
<v Yazmin Mehdi>wonderful is that at the top of these
reports,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/59-3
00:04:28.636 --> 00:04:32.754
<v Yazmin Mehdi>the staff who are writing them are
indicating</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/60-0
00:04:32.994 --> 00:04:38.990
<v Yazmin Mehdi>how the work they're doing meets the
impact areas in the strategic plan.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/60-1
00:04:38.990 --> 00:04:43.508
<v Yazmin Mehdi>So just wanted to draw the public's
attention to that.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/60-2
00:04:43.508 --> 00:04:49.586
<v Yazmin Mehdi>It's just a demonstration that the
strategic plan is not something that's</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/60-3
00:04:49.586 --> 00:04:56.074
<v Yazmin Mehdi>being put on a shelf and left to gather
dust. It's actually a living document.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/61-0
00:04:57.714 --> 00:05:03.543
<v Yazmin Mehdi>The other thing I wanted to note is that
the contents of the library levy have</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/61-1
00:05:03.543 --> 00:05:08.929
<v Yazmin Mehdi>fostered quite a conversation on the
interwebs about how efficiently the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/61-2
00:05:08.929 --> 00:05:14.314
<v Yazmin Mehdi>library performs its various tasks.
And I think this month's report from</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/61-3
00:05:14.314 --> 00:05:17.634
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Technical and Collection Services
highlights</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/62-0
00:05:18.354 --> 00:05:23.976
<v Yazmin Mehdi>one of the ways that efficiency is being
addressed by the library,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/62-1
00:05:23.976 --> 00:05:30.269
<v Yazmin Mehdi>and I wanted to bring that forward.
It has to do with the ILS replacement.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/62-2
00:05:30.269 --> 00:05:37.065
<v Yazmin Mehdi>One of the things that I hope the public
recognizes is that the library has done</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/62-3
00:05:37.065 --> 00:05:38.994
<v Yazmin Mehdi>quite an impressive job</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/63-0
00:05:39.714 --> 00:05:45.857
<v Yazmin Mehdi>of following on the heels of the
ransomware attack and just pumping out</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/63-1
00:05:45.857 --> 00:05:49.610
<v Yazmin Mehdi>some really important pieces of
technology.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/63-2
00:05:49.610 --> 00:05:55.155
<v Yazmin Mehdi>The library app is one of them.
This ILS replacement is another.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/63-3
00:05:55.155 --> 00:05:58.994
<v Yazmin Mehdi>And I would just want to quote Kate
Sellers.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/64-0
00:05:59.554 --> 00:06:06.202
<v Yazmin Mehdi>who wrote the TCS report that the new ILS
called Polaris will bring a whole new</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/64-1
00:06:06.202 --> 00:06:11.769
<v Yazmin Mehdi>world of functionality both on the staff
side and the public side.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/64-2
00:06:11.769 --> 00:06:18.250
<v Yazmin Mehdi>And one of the things she talks about is
that there are changes being made to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/64-3
00:06:18.250 --> 00:06:18.914
<v Yazmin Mehdi>metadata</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/65-0
00:06:19.394 --> 00:06:24.033
<v Yazmin Mehdi>that will improve staff side efficiency.
On the public side,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/65-1
00:06:24.033 --> 00:06:27.608
<v Yazmin Mehdi>people who are looking for books,
for example,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/65-2
00:06:27.608 --> 00:06:33.464
<v Yazmin Mehdi>in the book spiral at Central will know
exactly where to go to get the book,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/65-3
00:06:33.464 --> 00:06:37.874
<v Yazmin Mehdi>not just, you know, floor 7 to 9,
but like floor 7 South.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/66-0
00:06:38.794 --> 00:06:43.572
<v Yazmin Mehdi>which is wonderful.
So I wanted to bring that forward and I</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/66-1
00:06:43.572 --> 00:06:47.234
<v Yazmin Mehdi>see that my colleague Carmen has her hand
up.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/67-0
00:06:48.794 --> 00:06:53.452
<v Bendixen, Carmen>Well, something you said prompted,
reminded me of something I read this week</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/67-1
00:06:53.452 --> 00:06:57.202
<v Bendixen, Carmen>with the ILS improvement.
So and also that was in our packet.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/67-2
00:06:57.202 --> 00:07:01.194
<v Bendixen, Carmen>So at the end of the packet,
we always have the list of the media</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/67-3
00:07:01.194 --> 00:07:04.945
<v Bendixen, Carmen>coverage and articles.
But there's also a list of blog posts.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/67-4
00:07:04.945 --> 00:07:08.634
<v Bendixen, Carmen>So I don't know if everyone, you know,
I know we read A lot.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/69-0
00:07:08.714 --> 00:07:13.593
<v Bendixen, Carmen>for this group.
But the Shelf Talk blog that the library</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/69-1
00:07:13.593 --> 00:07:19.155
<v Bendixen, Carmen>has had for a million years,
a lot of times there's really great</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/69-2
00:07:19.155 --> 00:07:23.520
<v Bendixen, Carmen>information on reading recommendations,
of course.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/69-3
00:07:23.520 --> 00:07:30.367
<v Bendixen, Carmen>But there was a post on the ILS for on
the blog that I came across earlier this</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/69-4
00:07:30.367 --> 00:07:30.794
<v Bendixen, Carmen>week.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/70-0
00:07:31.194 --> 00:07:35.737
<v Bendixen, Carmen>And I thought it was really helpful and
informative because it was kind of like a</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/70-1
00:07:35.737 --> 00:07:40.391
<v Bendixen, Carmen>FAQ format so that members of the public
and patrons could actually see like, well,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/70-2
00:07:40.391 --> 00:07:44.324
<v Bendixen, Carmen>what does this mean for me? Like,
how does this look different for me?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/70-3
00:07:44.324 --> 00:07:48.812
<v Bendixen, Carmen>And I thought that was really well done.
I think there was also another piece on</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/70-4
00:07:48.812 --> 00:07:52.634
<v Bendixen, Carmen>the Library Art Review Committee calling
for people to volunteer. So</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/71-0
00:07:53.994 --> 00:07:57.640
<v Bendixen, Carmen>So yes,
things are happening and I think we get a</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/71-1
00:07:57.640 --> 00:08:02.087
<v Bendixen, Carmen>lot in our packets,
but there's more is just all I'm saying.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/71-2
00:08:02.087 --> 00:08:03.034

<v Yazmin Mehdi>Thanks, Carmen. That's great.
I appreciate you bringing up the art</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/72-1
00:08:07.345 --> 00:08:10.502
<v Yazmin Mehdi>review committee.
They're looking for volunteers, folks.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/72-2
00:08:10.502 --> 00:08:11.554
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Tally, over to you.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/73-0
00:08:13.354 --> 00:08:19.392
<v Tali Hairston>I was overjoyed to read about the 200
items related to the Seattle and the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/73-1
00:08:19.392 --> 00:08:25.430
<v Tali Hairston>Puget Sound area, AANHPI community.
The impact historically that they have</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/73-2
00:08:25.430 --> 00:08:26.074
<v Tali Hairston>provided</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/75-0
00:08:27.754 --> 00:08:32.085
<v Tali Hairston>Seattle and making Seattle what it is for
the library to do this kind of work in</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/75-1
00:08:32.085 --> 00:08:34.919
<v Tali Hairston>special collections is huge,
needs to be celebrated.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/75-2
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:39.036
<v Tali Hairston>And if there's anybody listening out
there who has some money to give to the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/75-3
00:08:39.036 --> 00:08:41.389
<v Tali Hairston>Seattle Foundation around things like
this,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/75-4
00:08:41.389 --> 00:08:45.666
<v Tali Hairston>this is a very important thing for us in
the days we live today where histories</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/75-5
00:08:45.666 --> 00:08:48.500
<v Tali Hairston>are being erased.
We need to step up and continue to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/75-6
00:08:48.500 --> 00:08:48.874
<v Tali Hairston>provide</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/76-0
00:08:49.354 --> 00:08:55.129
<v Tali Hairston>this as an opportunity for folks in our
community to learn and grow around these</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/76-1
00:08:55.129 --> 00:08:59.834
<v Tali Hairston>stories. They're powerful stories,
true stories, amazing stories.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/77-0
00:09:01.794 --> 00:09:07.230
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Thanks, Tally. Absolutely agree.
And the other thing is that it's not like</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/77-1
00:09:07.230 --> 00:09:12.956
<v Yazmin Mehdi>there's another library that should be
doing that work that really truly falls</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/77-2
00:09:12.956 --> 00:09:17.594
<v Yazmin Mehdi>to Seattle because this is Seattle
history. I noted that in the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/122-0
00:09:20.696 --> 00:09:24.946
<v Yazmin Mehdi>There's a photo of a young Cheryl Chow.
And yeah, I mean,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/122-1
00:09:24.946 --> 00:09:30.443
<v Yazmin Mehdi>I see you all nodding heads because
Cheryl Chow served on the city council</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/122-2
00:09:30.443 --> 00:09:35.646
<v Yazmin Mehdi>for quite a long time and was an
important leader for the entire city.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/122-3
00:09:35.646 --> 00:09:39.457
<v Yazmin Mehdi>So again,
that's history that appropriately Seattle</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/122-4
00:09:39.457 --> 00:09:42.096
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Public Library should be collecting.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/155-0
00:09:43.616 --> 00:09:50.549
<v Yazmin Mehdi>And thank you, colleagues, for reading.
I had these things noted and you guys</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/155-1
00:09:50.549 --> 00:09:55.793
<v Yazmin Mehdi>covered them. Thank you. So, Tom,
enough of our bantering.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/155-2
00:09:55.793 --> 00:10:00.416
<v Yazmin Mehdi>I think the next thing is old business.
And we have</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/161-0
00:10:01.136 --> 00:10:04.976
<v Yazmin Mehdi>I think a report on the staff systems
acceptable use policy.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/173-0
00:10:06.976 --> 00:10:10.903
<v Tom Fay>Yes,
we'll ask Rob Gannon and Charles Wesley</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/173-1
00:10:10.903 --> 00:10:12.736
<v Tom Fay>to come to the table.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/189-0
00:10:15.456 --> 00:10:19.433
<v Tom Fay>I believe it's both of them,
or it might just be Charles today.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/189-1
00:10:19.433 --> 00:10:23.536
<v Tom Fay>We'll see who we get. Here's Rob.
Trying to see if Charles is in.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/191-0
00:10:24.976 --> 00:10:25.616
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Here they are.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/193-0
00:10:25.976 --> 00:10:26.856
<v Charles Wesley>Hello, I am here.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/195-0
00:10:26.896 --> 00:10:27.536
<v Tom Fay>All right.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/217-0
00:10:29.616 --> 00:10:33.238
<v Rob Gannon>So members of the board,
I'm just going to defer to Charles to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/217-1
00:10:33.238 --> 00:10:36.976
<v Rob Gannon>make this presentation,
but I'll be here as well and in support.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/229-0
00:10:39.696 --> 00:10:43.536
<v Charles Wesley>Awesome.
Let me just pull up my library packet.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/267-0
00:10:45.576 --> 00:10:50.055
<v Charles Wesley>I don't know if you can hear any
background noise or not,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/267-1
00:10:50.055 --> 00:10:55.074
<v Charles Wesley>but the Navy's in town,
so I apologize if you talk about hearing</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/267-2
00:10:55.074 --> 00:10:58.549
<v Charles Wesley>me.
So I did bring to you the last meeting a</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/267-3
00:10:58.549 --> 00:11:04.496
<v Charles Wesley>memo informing you that we intend to have
a new staff acceptable use policy.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/323-0
00:11:05.296 --> 00:11:08.938
<v Charles Wesley>In this packet,
there is a draft of that system's</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/323-1
00:11:08.938 --> 00:11:14.110
<v Charles Wesley>accessible use policy for staff.
We also included, just for reference,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/323-2
00:11:14.110 --> 00:11:17.898
<v Charles Wesley>the existing City of Seattle policy for
comparison.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/323-3
00:11:17.898 --> 00:11:23.143
<v Charles Wesley>I wanted to just at a high level,
go through the policy and give you an</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/323-4
00:11:23.143 --> 00:11:28.971
<v Charles Wesley>opportunity just as we scan through it to
raise any specific questions that you</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/323-5
00:11:28.971 --> 00:11:29.336
<v Charles Wesley>have.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/341-0
00:11:29.376 --> 00:11:35.904
<v Charles Wesley>I've also noted some questions that you
had asked previously that I can address.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/341-1
00:11:35.904 --> 00:11:40.096
<v Charles Wesley>And I'm going to share my screen here
very quickly.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/347-0
00:11:48.976 --> 00:11:50.736
<v Charles Wesley>All right, are you able to see my screen?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/381-0
00:11:51.696 --> 00:11:56.630
<v Charles Wesley>Okay.
So this policy lays out at a higher level</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/381-1
00:11:56.630 --> 00:12:04.647
<v Charles Wesley>from a policy perspectives what is in
scope and why these areas are important</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/381-2
00:12:04.647 --> 00:12:10.096
<v Charles Wesley>for the library.
There's a companion piece for this.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/427-0
00:12:10.816 --> 00:12:14.720
<v Charles Wesley>that is a standard.
So there's a policy and then a standard.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/427-1
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:19.968
<v Charles Wesley>The standard has not been written yet.
So I don't have this to do a side by side.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/427-2
00:12:19.968 --> 00:12:24.896
<v Charles Wesley>The thinking being that we wanted to
establish the policy and then build the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/427-3
00:12:24.896 --> 00:12:27.712
<v Charles Wesley>standard within the confines of the
policy.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/427-4
00:12:27.712 --> 00:12:31.296
<v Charles Wesley>But the intention of the standard is to
be able to have</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/475-0
00:12:31.336 --> 00:12:35.118
<v Charles Wesley>much more granular,
much more specific details about the ins</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/475-1
00:12:35.118 --> 00:12:38.901
<v Charles Wesley>and outs of things that we relevant for
staff to understand,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/475-2
00:12:38.901 --> 00:12:42.932
<v Charles Wesley>and that we will want to be able to
update that more frequently.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/475-3
00:12:42.932 --> 00:12:46.591
<v Charles Wesley>So as emerging security issues arise,
as confusion arises,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/475-4
00:12:46.591 --> 00:12:50.869
<v Charles Wesley>we can keep that up to date,
and then the policy would be a changing</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/475-5
00:12:50.869 --> 00:12:51.056
<v Charles Wesley>on.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/510-0
00:12:51.616 --> 00:12:56.793
<v Charles Wesley>annual basis, for example.
So that's just the context of this.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/510-1
00:12:56.793 --> 00:13:02.381
<v Charles Wesley>As I mentioned in the memo,
this is applying only to staff and that</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/510-2
00:13:02.381 --> 00:13:08.052
<v Charles Wesley>is also inclusive of contractors,
consultants, partners, volunteers,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/510-3
00:13:08.052 --> 00:13:09.696
<v Charles Wesley>other third parties.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/552-0
00:13:10.096 --> 00:13:16.962
<v Charles Wesley>but explicitly does not apply to patrons
or the use of public technology by the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/552-1
00:13:16.962 --> 00:13:21.340
<v Charles Wesley>public. There is a policy on the spl.
org website,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/552-2
00:13:21.340 --> 00:13:27.177
<v Charles Wesley>public use of internet policies.
This is actually something that we</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/552-3
00:13:27.177 --> 00:13:30.096
<v Charles Wesley>tweaked with you all back in 2023.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/596-0
00:13:30.816 --> 00:13:36.969
<v Charles Wesley>that speaks to the public's use of the
internet and some of the technology</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/596-1
00:13:36.969 --> 00:13:41.482
<v Charles Wesley>related to it.
And then there's also our community use</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/596-2
00:13:41.482 --> 00:13:47.472
<v Charles Wesley>agreements in general, which apply.
I would envision a future policy for</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/596-3
00:13:47.472 --> 00:13:50.016
<v Charles Wesley>patrons that is more similar to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/636-0
00:13:50.336 --> 00:13:54.383
<v Charles Wesley>The staff one that isn't kind of covering
a variety of things,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/636-1
00:13:54.383 --> 00:13:59.716
<v Charles Wesley>but is focused on technology in general,
but that policy has not yet been written.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/636-2
00:13:59.716 --> 00:14:02.736
<v Charles Wesley>So in this policy where it references
patrons,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/636-3
00:14:02.736 --> 00:14:05.820
<v Charles Wesley>it's really referring to the existing
policies,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/636-4
00:14:05.820 --> 00:14:10.896
<v Charles Wesley>which aren't as kind of encompassing as
this policy. We also in this document,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/675-0
00:14:11.296 --> 00:14:16.340
<v Charles Wesley>cover some definitions.
So these are definitions that we hope</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/675-1
00:14:16.340 --> 00:14:23.093
<v Charles Wesley>help for the understanding of the policy,
but also for staff to understand when we</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/675-2
00:14:23.093 --> 00:14:29.439
<v Charles Wesley>are talking about library technology
resources, specifically what those mean,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/675-3
00:14:29.439 --> 00:14:30.416
<v Charles Wesley>for example.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/717-0
00:14:31.696 --> 00:14:36.510
<v Charles Wesley>And a lot of these terms also have
standing in other policies or laws and</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/717-1
00:14:36.510 --> 00:14:39.894
<v Charles Wesley>regulations.
And so the larger context is that this</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/717-2
00:14:39.894 --> 00:14:44.058
<v Charles Wesley>policy exists amongst other policies and
rules and regulations.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/717-3
00:14:44.058 --> 00:14:49.329
<v Charles Wesley>So things that we call out specifically
in this policy, even if it is redundant,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/717-4
00:14:49.329 --> 00:14:51.216
<v Charles Wesley>really is just to under score</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/728-0
00:14:51.376 --> 00:14:56.645
<v Charles Wesley>for clarity that those things have a
specific implication to the use of</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/728-1
00:14:56.645 --> 00:14:58.256
<v Charles Wesley>technology in general.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/730-0
00:15:01.616 --> 00:15:02.336
<v Charles Wesley>The.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/788-0
00:15:04.656 --> 00:15:07.741
<v Charles Wesley>Policy statements,
I think are pretty self-explanatory,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/788-1
00:15:07.741 --> 00:15:12.040
<v Charles Wesley>but just as I'm going through this,
if you have questions on specific topics,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/788-2
00:15:12.040 --> 00:15:15.952
<v Charles Wesley>I'm happy to entertain those. But again,
we want to really understand,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/788-3
00:15:15.952 --> 00:15:20.030
<v Charles Wesley>we want staff to be able to understand
when we're referring to technology</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/788-4
00:15:20.030 --> 00:15:22.951
<v Charles Wesley>resources,
it is going to be things that are used by</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/788-5
00:15:22.951 --> 00:15:27.084
<v Charles Wesley>the library for library business,
and their responsibilities for that will</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/788-6
00:15:27.084 --> 00:15:27.856
<v Charles Wesley>be governed by</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/790-0
00:15:28.816 --> 00:15:29.856
<v Charles Wesley>this policy.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/791-0
00:15:31.216 --> 00:15:31.616
<v Charles Wesley>Um...</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/832-0
00:15:33.536 --> 00:15:37.722
<v Charles Wesley>sharing of library data and files,
we may want to have another conversation</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/832-1
00:15:37.722 --> 00:15:40.146
<v Charles Wesley>with you in the future about data
handling,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/832-2
00:15:40.146 --> 00:15:43.451
<v Charles Wesley>whether or not that be something that
needs to be a policy,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/832-3
00:15:43.451 --> 00:15:47.417
<v Charles Wesley>but we are just at a high level
establishing that in this as important.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/832-4
00:15:47.417 --> 00:15:49.456
<v Charles Wesley>I see, Faith, you have your hands up.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/880-0
00:15:50.256 --> 00:15:52.455
<v Faith Pettis>Yeah,
and I thank you for allowing me to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/880-1
00:15:52.455 --> 00:15:55.512
<v Faith Pettis>interrupt you for a second.
I just want to make sure I'm</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/839-0
00:15:53.656 --> 00:15:54.136
<v Charles Wesley>Mhm.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/880-2
00:15:55.512 --> 00:15:59.482
<v Faith Pettis>understanding clearly the difference
between the standard and the policy.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/880-3
00:15:59.482 --> 00:16:02.969
<v Faith Pettis>So we approve the policy,
and then the standard will be the more</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/880-4
00:16:02.969 --> 00:16:07.045
<v Faith Pettis>detailed rollout implementation,
almost like an FAQ type of thing for step.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/880-5
00:16:07.045 --> 00:16:08.816
<v Faith Pettis>Is that right? More programmatic.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/935-0
00:16:09.296 --> 00:16:11.835
<v Charles Wesley>Yeah,
so you can think of it as like an</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/885-0
00:16:09.376 --> 00:16:10.896
<v Faith Pettis>and detailed.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/935-1
00:16:11.835 --> 00:16:16.151
<v Charles Wesley>administrative procedure or policy.
So it'll speak to, for example,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/893-0
00:16:13.136 --> 00:16:14.096
<v Faith Pettis>Right, OK.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/894-0
00:16:15.056 --> 00:16:15.456
<v Faith Pettis>K.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/935-2
00:16:16.151 --> 00:16:19.452
<v Charles Wesley>like in this document,
we reference mobile devices,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/935-3
00:16:19.452 --> 00:16:23.705
<v Charles Wesley>personal devices. Broadly,
the standard will be much more specific</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/904-0
00:16:21.056 --> 00:16:21.456
<v Faith Pettis>Right.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/935-4
00:16:23.705 --> 00:16:26.498
<v Charles Wesley>about the current practice regarding
those,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/935-5
00:16:26.498 --> 00:16:29.736
<v Charles Wesley>and that will evolve more rapidly than
the policy.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/953-0
00:16:28.096 --> 00:16:31.216
<v Faith Pettis>Okay,
and that standard is not something we</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/953-1
00:16:31.216 --> 00:16:35.117
<v Faith Pettis>approve. We approve the policies, right?
The guidance,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/953-2
00:16:35.117 --> 00:16:38.096
<v Faith Pettis>and then the staff puts out the standards.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/950-0
00:16:38.656 --> 00:16:38.896
<v Charles Wesley>Yeah.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/956-0
00:16:39.256 --> 00:16:40.496
<v Faith Pettis>which we don't approve.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/978-0
00:16:40.976 --> 00:16:45.224
<v Charles Wesley>Correct. So that the standards,
so administrative procedures in general</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/962-0
00:16:42.656 --> 00:16:43.056
<v Faith Pettis>Got it.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/978-1
00:16:45.224 --> 00:16:49.296
<v Charles Wesley>are ultimately the chief librarian's
prerogative for responsibility.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/972-0
00:16:45.376 --> 00:16:46.096
<v Faith Pettis>Yep, yep.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/979-0
00:16:49.736 --> 00:16:51.376
<v Faith Pettis>Great, great. Thank you.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1016-0
00:16:51.696 --> 00:16:53.984
<v Charles Wesley>Yep.
So the standard is basically the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1016-1
00:16:53.984 --> 00:16:57.476
<v Charles Wesley>implementation.
So how do we implement this policy at the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1016-2
00:16:57.476 --> 00:17:02.595
<v Charles Wesley>library would be detailed in the standard.
So that would be much more focused on how</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1016-3
00:17:02.595 --> 00:17:07.352
<v Charles Wesley>the policy is executed versus the policy,
which is really more of like what it</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1016-4
00:17:07.352 --> 00:17:08.256
<v Charles Wesley>covers and why.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1067-0
00:17:14.976 --> 00:17:18.219
<v Charles Wesley>So for example,
smartphone and mobile data or mobile</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1067-1
00:17:18.219 --> 00:17:21.401
<v Charles Wesley>devices is mentioned in the policy so
that the use,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1067-2
00:17:21.401 --> 00:17:26.542
<v Charles Wesley>so the policy establishes that the use of
smartphones and mobile devices is subject</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1067-3
00:17:26.542 --> 00:17:31.438
<v Charles Wesley>to library approval and the technical
requirements for the delivery would be in</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1067-4
00:17:31.438 --> 00:17:34.376
<v Charles Wesley>the standard.
So that's a good example of that.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1071-0
00:17:34.576 --> 00:17:37.056
<v Charles Wesley>A specific instance of the two working in
tandem.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1072-0
00:17:40.736 --> 00:17:41.616
<v Charles Wesley>And.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1119-0
00:17:43.776 --> 00:17:47.538
<v Charles Wesley>We do have a specific prohibitions and
limitations section.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1119-1
00:17:47.538 --> 00:17:52.116
<v Charles Wesley>I know that was one of the items that was
mentioned in the last section.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1119-2
00:17:52.116 --> 00:17:56.318
<v Charles Wesley>This isn't all inclusive,
but these are very specific ones that we</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1119-3
00:17:56.318 --> 00:17:59.830
<v Charles Wesley>wanted to include at the policy level for
clarity sake.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1119-4
00:17:59.830 --> 00:18:03.656
<v Charles Wesley>And this is very much in line with what
the city policy has.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1122-0
00:18:03.936 --> 00:18:05.856
<v Charles Wesley>For limitations, as well.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1124-0
00:18:14.336 --> 00:18:15.296
<v Charles Wesley>And...</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1165-0
00:18:18.656 --> 00:18:22.081
<v Charles Wesley>also referencing the artificial
intelligence policy.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1165-1
00:18:22.081 --> 00:18:26.798
<v Charles Wesley>So there were a couple of specific
questions from the last time that I'm</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1165-2
00:18:26.798 --> 00:18:30.676
<v Charles Wesley>happy to address.
But are there any just broad questions on</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1165-3
00:18:30.676 --> 00:18:34.877
<v Charles Wesley>the policy that you all have,
having had more time to review it,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1165-4
00:18:34.877 --> 00:18:36.816
<v Charles Wesley>that you'd like me to address?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1204-0
00:18:40.176 --> 00:18:44.006
<v Yazmin Mehdi>I'll see if any of my colleagues have
questions.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1204-1
00:18:44.006 --> 00:18:49.946
<v Yazmin Mehdi>One thing that comes to mind for me is
that you included the city's policy,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1204-2
00:18:49.946 --> 00:18:56.121
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Charles, and is it simply a reference?
Because I don't think it's noted in the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1189-0
00:18:50.856 --> 00:18:51.376
<v Charles Wesley>Mhm.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1204-3
00:18:56.121 --> 00:18:57.216
<v Yazmin Mehdi>policy itself.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1245-0
00:18:58.256 --> 00:19:01.999
<v Charles Wesley>Yes, so my,
so I will speak to my understanding,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1245-1
00:19:01.999 --> 00:19:08.339
<v Charles Wesley>I did verify this with our director of HR,
the city policy and the library policy,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1219-0
00:19:06.896 --> 00:19:07.216
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Oh.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1245-2
00:19:08.339 --> 00:19:12.693
<v Charles Wesley>like in many cases,
they sometimes overlap and sometimes</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1245-3
00:19:12.693 --> 00:19:17.277
<v Charles Wesley>stand separately.
So this policy for the library will apply</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1245-4
00:19:17.277 --> 00:19:18.576
<v Charles Wesley>to library staff.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1295-0
00:19:19.696 --> 00:19:24.799
<v Charles Wesley>The city's technology policy, I believe,
was outside of the bargaining process</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1295-1
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:29.191
<v Charles Wesley>that we had with our union.
So that specific policy would not apply</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1295-2
00:19:29.191 --> 00:19:34.423
<v Charles Wesley>to our staff while other city policies do.
So we included it more as a reference</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1295-3
00:19:34.423 --> 00:19:39.268
<v Charles Wesley>just so that you can understand in the
context whether or not what we were</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1295-4
00:19:39.268 --> 00:19:40.496
<v Charles Wesley>putting forward is.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1319-0
00:19:40.736 --> 00:19:44.824
<v Charles Wesley>consistent with city practice,
but in this particular case,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1319-1
00:19:44.824 --> 00:19:49.936
<v Charles Wesley>the library's policy would be the one
that would apply to library staff in</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1319-2
00:19:49.936 --> 00:19:51.776
<v Charles Wesley>place of the city's policy.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1320-0
00:19:52.976 --> 00:19:54.896
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Okay, I understand that.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1355-0
00:19:56.736 --> 00:20:00.491
<v Yazmin Mehdi>I skipped,
I read the library policy closely.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1355-1
00:20:00.491 --> 00:20:06.614
<v Yazmin Mehdi>I skimmed the city policy. I didn't see,
nothing jumped out at me as being</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1355-2
00:20:06.614 --> 00:20:11.431
<v Yazmin Mehdi>significantly different.
But is there anything you want to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1355-3
00:20:11.431 --> 00:20:12.656
<v Yazmin Mehdi>highlight here?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1413-0
00:20:13.616 --> 00:20:16.281
<v Charles Wesley>Yeah,
I think the material difference between</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1413-1
00:20:16.281 --> 00:20:19.410
<v Charles Wesley>the two, one,
the city policy is a little bit longer,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1413-2
00:20:19.410 --> 00:20:23.408
<v Charles Wesley>a little bit more detailed because it
needs to speak to a variety of</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1413-3
00:20:23.408 --> 00:20:26.132
<v Charles Wesley>departments.
So it includes references to like</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1413-4
00:20:26.132 --> 00:20:29.434
<v Charles Wesley>operational technology,
which is really big for like the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1413-5
00:20:29.434 --> 00:20:33.143
<v Charles Wesley>utilities, for example.
So we don't have sections of our policy</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1413-6
00:20:33.143 --> 00:20:36.736
<v Charles Wesley>that speak to the level of detail that
they do in some areas.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1461-0
00:20:37.296 --> 00:20:43.172
<v Charles Wesley>And we also make a stronger distinction
in our policy between users of library</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1461-1
00:20:43.172 --> 00:20:48.008
<v Charles Wesley>technology being distinctly separated
between patrons and staff.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1461-2
00:20:48.008 --> 00:20:53.141
<v Charles Wesley>The city policy is really focusing on
employees or authorized users,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1432-0
00:20:49.136 --> 00:20:49.536
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Yeah.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1461-3
00:20:53.141 --> 00:20:57.456
<v Charles Wesley>which is the majority of the users using
city technology.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1485-0
00:20:58.256 --> 00:21:01.857
<v Charles Wesley>We're a little bit different where we
invite hundreds of thousands of people to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1485-1
00:21:01.857 --> 00:21:04.694
<v Charles Wesley>use our technology in a way that other
city departments don't.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1485-2
00:21:04.694 --> 00:21:07.936
<v Charles Wesley>So we're just trying to ensure that it's
clear that those are separate.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1490-0
00:21:09.056 --> 00:21:12.264
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Thank you, Charles.
I appreciate that summary.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1490-1
00:21:12.264 --> 00:21:14.176
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Anybody else have questions?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1496-0
00:21:16.376 --> 00:21:18.256
<v Yazmin Mehdi>I think we can move on, Charles.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1497-0
00:21:18.616 --> 00:21:18.976
<v Charles Wesley>Great.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1543-0
00:21:21.056 --> 00:21:26.476
<v Charles Wesley>So just to quickly follow up from the
last time, I did want to also touch base.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1543-1
00:21:26.476 --> 00:21:31.694
<v Charles Wesley>There was a question around examples of
problematic uses for smartphones and</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1543-2
00:21:31.694 --> 00:21:35.217
<v Charles Wesley>mobile devices.
So there's really kind of two broad</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1543-3
00:21:35.217 --> 00:21:40.096
<v Charles Wesley>categories that would fall into.
One for devices that the library owns.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1591-0
00:21:40.416 --> 00:21:43.469
<v Charles Wesley>We need to ensure that one,
they are managed correctly,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1591-1
00:21:43.469 --> 00:21:47.230
<v Charles Wesley>both in terms of security and in terms of
preserving public records.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1591-2
00:21:47.230 --> 00:21:50.120
<v Charles Wesley>So you can think of like text messages,
for example,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1591-3
00:21:50.120 --> 00:21:52.900
<v Charles Wesley>being something that needs to be properly
managed.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1591-4
00:21:52.900 --> 00:21:56.717
<v Charles Wesley>And there's an expectation that staff
would not attempt to, you know,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1591-5
00:21:56.717 --> 00:22:01.024
<v Charles Wesley>subvert or get around controls we have in
place in order to secure and protect</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1591-6
00:22:01.024 --> 00:22:02.496
<v Charles Wesley>things like public records.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1642-0
00:22:02.936 --> 00:22:07.719
<v Charles Wesley>And then also mobile devices, for example,
using library issued and supported</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1642-1
00:22:07.719 --> 00:22:10.847
<v Charles Wesley>devices rather than personal devices,
for example,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1642-2
00:22:10.847 --> 00:22:14.771
<v Charles Wesley>for like patron use or program delivery,
those types of things.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1642-3
00:22:14.771 --> 00:22:19.800
<v Charles Wesley>So the policy would really just help to
clarify that it is staff's responsibility</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1642-4
00:22:19.800 --> 00:22:24.645
<v Charles Wesley>to use the technology that is issued by
the library and in accordance with the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1642-5
00:22:24.645 --> 00:22:25.136
<v Charles Wesley>library.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1655-0
00:22:25.456 --> 00:22:32.658
<v Charles Wesley>and not to utilize unknown or kind of
unsecured or unmanaged devices for</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1655-1
00:22:32.658 --> 00:22:34.336
<v Charles Wesley>library purposes.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1656-0
00:22:35.656 --> 00:22:35.856
<v Charles Wesley>Um...</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1660-0
00:22:37.296 --> 00:22:38.736
<v Charles Wesley>Any questions on mobile?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1661-0
00:22:42.176 --> 00:22:43.056
<v Charles Wesley>Oh, um...</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1721-0
00:22:44.336 --> 00:22:47.723
<v Charles Wesley>There was a reference to the employee
handbook,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1721-1
00:22:47.723 --> 00:22:51.534
<v Charles Wesley>and I just wanted to speak to that just a
little bit.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1721-2
00:22:51.534 --> 00:22:56.263
<v Charles Wesley>The employee handbook kind of sits in
between the policy space and</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1721-3
00:22:56.263 --> 00:23:00.144
<v Charles Wesley>administrative side.
So an employee handbook basically</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1721-4
00:23:00.144 --> 00:23:05.508
<v Charles Wesley>synthesizes multiple things into one
document that employees can reference.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1721-5
00:23:05.508 --> 00:23:08.896
<v Charles Wesley>So the employee handbook is in itself a
policy.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1754-0
00:23:09.216 --> 00:23:12.088
<v Charles Wesley>but it often speaks to the contents of
policies,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1754-1
00:23:12.088 --> 00:23:16.895
<v Charles Wesley>but then also puts into context some of
the administrative procedures that are in</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1754-2
00:23:16.895 --> 00:23:21.760
<v Charles Wesley>place. And so in this particular example,
the policy would supersede the handbook,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1754-3
00:23:21.760 --> 00:23:26.391
<v Charles Wesley>but the handbook may go into more detail
about how the policy and the standard</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1754-4
00:23:26.391 --> 00:23:28.736
<v Charles Wesley>apply from a staff member's perspective.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1798-0
00:23:32.896 --> 00:23:36.819
<v Charles Wesley>And then lastly,
there was a question around the language</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1798-1
00:23:36.819 --> 00:23:40.268
<v Charles Wesley>in the document,
in the policy about the potential</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1798-2
00:23:40.268 --> 00:23:43.582
<v Charles Wesley>conflicts with collective bargaining
agreements.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1798-3
00:23:43.582 --> 00:23:46.761
<v Charles Wesley>That's basically standard language for
policy,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1798-4
00:23:46.761 --> 00:23:50.549
<v Charles Wesley>so there isn't a specific conflict that
we're aware of,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1798-5
00:23:50.549 --> 00:23:52.376
<v Charles Wesley>but just wanting to ensure.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1811-0
00:23:52.736 --> 00:23:57.051
<v Charles Wesley>that like with other policies,
if there is something related to the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1811-1
00:23:57.051 --> 00:24:01.811
<v Charles Wesley>collective bargaining agreement,
that would supersede A discrepancy in the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1811-2
00:24:01.811 --> 00:24:02.256
<v Charles Wesley>policy.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1842-0
00:24:06.936 --> 00:24:11.717
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Great.
Thank you for being so on top of those</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1842-1
00:24:11.717 --> 00:24:20.554
<v Yazmin Mehdi>questions and being prepared with answers.
I think one thing that is just helpful to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1842-2
00:24:20.554 --> 00:24:25.856
<v Yazmin Mehdi>state is that the, well, first of all,
this is not</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1852-0
00:24:25.936 --> 00:24:31.296
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Is this the first time we're implementing
an acceptable use policy for staff?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1853-0
00:24:30.656 --> 00:24:32.176
<v Charles Wesley>Correct. Yeah.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1904-0
00:24:33.776 --> 00:24:36.977
<v Charles Wesley>That is this,
so this acceptable use policy is in line</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1904-1
00:24:36.977 --> 00:24:41.284
<v Charles Wesley>with more of an industry standard of
acceptable use policies. Previously,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1904-2
00:24:41.284 --> 00:24:45.591
<v Charles Wesley>there's been a collection of policies or
things in the employee handbook.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1904-3
00:24:45.591 --> 00:24:49.607
<v Charles Wesley>So this is really about creating a
definitive acceptable use policy,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1904-4
00:24:49.607 --> 00:24:53.216
<v Charles Wesley>which to my knowledge has not existed at
the library to date.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1947-0
00:24:54.576 --> 00:24:58.552
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Okay, that's interesting.
So a million years ago,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1947-1
00:24:58.552 --> 00:25:03.482
<v Yazmin Mehdi>when I worked for the city,
I was on what was called the Data</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1947-2
00:25:03.482 --> 00:25:09.049
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Processing Advisory Committee,
and we set up an acceptable use policy</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1947-3
00:25:09.049 --> 00:25:13.502
<v Yazmin Mehdi>way back then,
which I thought covered the entire city.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1947-4
00:25:13.502 --> 00:25:14.616
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Apparently not</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1991-0
00:25:14.736 --> 00:25:19.186
<v Yazmin Mehdi>not the case.
But the other thing I wanted to note is</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1991-1
00:25:19.186 --> 00:25:24.708
<v Yazmin Mehdi>that I like the idea of having this
standard that has more detail,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1991-2
00:25:24.708 --> 00:25:31.548
<v Yazmin Mehdi>because ultimately what we want is for it
to be very clear for staff how they need</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/1991-3
00:25:31.548 --> 00:25:36.576
<v Yazmin Mehdi>to use the technology that the library
has provided to them.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2019-0
00:25:37.216 --> 00:25:42.655
<v Yazmin Mehdi>And also,
because I feel like there are overlaps,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2019-1
00:25:42.655 --> 00:25:51.575
<v Yazmin Mehdi>especially if you're using a cell phone,
that it's really clear what any personal</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2019-2
00:25:51.575 --> 00:25:57.776
<v Yazmin Mehdi>use does to, for example,
the need to retain information</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2054-0
00:25:59.216 --> 00:26:06.015
<v Yazmin Mehdi>as required by law. So anyway,
I just think ultimately what we're,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2054-1
00:26:06.015 --> 00:26:14.032
<v Yazmin Mehdi>what we as the board would want is that
staff have very clear understanding of</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2054-2
00:26:14.032 --> 00:26:16.976
<v Yazmin Mehdi>what the expectations are and</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2080-0
00:26:17.056 --> 00:26:22.373
<v Yazmin Mehdi>The policy, if you just glance at it,
seems like it doesn't have enough detail.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2080-1
00:26:22.373 --> 00:26:27.292
<v Yazmin Mehdi>So it's really important to note that
there is this standard that will be</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2080-2
00:26:27.292 --> 00:26:30.816
<v Yazmin Mehdi>developed next,
or it's being developed as we speak.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2078-0
00:26:31.216 --> 00:26:31.696
<v Charles Wesley>Correct.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2107-0
00:26:32.576 --> 00:26:40.948
<v Yazmin Mehdi>And when I had one other question,
which is the policy refers to an LTO,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2107-1
00:26:40.948 --> 00:26:45.536
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Library Technology Officer. Who is that?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2118-0
00:26:46.176 --> 00:26:50.222
<v Charles Wesley>That's me. So my, yep,
my official title is Library Technology</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2113-0
00:26:46.976 --> 00:26:48.336
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Okay, that's what I thought.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2118-1
00:26:50.222 --> 00:26:50.736
<v Charles Wesley>Officer.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2129-0
00:26:52.816 --> 00:26:56.416
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Okay, I don't know. I did not know that,
so that's great.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2128-0
00:26:56.976 --> 00:26:57.256
<v Charles Wesley>Yeah.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2136-0
00:26:58.096 --> 00:27:01.936
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Any final questions from library board
members?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2153-0
00:27:04.336 --> 00:27:08.582
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Okay, I think this is just informational,
Charles. Am I right?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2153-1
00:27:08.582 --> 00:27:11.616
<v Yazmin Mehdi>We are not adopting this policy yet.
Are we?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2184-0
00:27:12.736 --> 00:27:15.597
<v Charles Wesley>Yep.
So if there is no additional feedback</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2184-1
00:27:15.597 --> 00:27:18.924
<v Charles Wesley>from you all,
then we will continue in the policy</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2184-2
00:27:18.924 --> 00:27:23.981
<v Charles Wesley>development process and then we'll bring
this back to you at a future board</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2184-3
00:27:23.981 --> 00:27:26.776
<v Charles Wesley>meeting for your consideration for a vote.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2182-0
00:27:27.456 --> 00:27:27.936
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Great.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2189-0
00:27:29.016 --> 00:27:32.976
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Well, thank you very much.
Appreciate your diligence.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2190-0
00:27:33.936 --> 00:27:34.536
<v Charles Wesley>Thank you.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2209-0
00:27:38.176 --> 00:27:41.504
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Okay,
so the next thing is to go to new</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2209-1
00:27:41.504 --> 00:27:46.496
<v Yazmin Mehdi>business and the first item is a library
operations update.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2255-0
00:27:50.016 --> 00:27:52.848
<v Tom Fay>Yes,
I have a couple of folks come to the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2255-1
00:27:52.848 --> 00:27:55.883
<v Tom Fay>table.
I know Kate Tang may be joining a few</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2255-2
00:27:55.883 --> 00:27:59.390
<v Tom Fay>minutes late,
so we'll have Rob Gannon come forward</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2255-3
00:27:59.390 --> 00:28:03.370
<v Tom Fay>first. The intention of this is,
as you mentioned earlier,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2255-4
00:28:03.370 --> 00:28:07.956
<v Tom Fay>I believe Carmen mentioned,
there's a lot of things going on at the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2255-5
00:28:07.956 --> 00:28:08.496
<v Tom Fay>library.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2305-0
00:28:08.576 --> 00:28:12.086
<v Tom Fay>all the time.
And just to give you a sense of some of</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2305-1
00:28:12.086 --> 00:28:17.288
<v Tom Fay>those things and what we're working on
now and what we know we'll be working on</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2305-2
00:28:17.288 --> 00:28:20.733
<v Tom Fay>once we are successful with the levy vote
next week,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2305-3
00:28:20.733 --> 00:28:25.480
<v Tom Fay>it's really important to kind of give you
a grounding of where we're at.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2305-4
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:29.056
<v Tom Fay>So we're not going to make this kind of
an ad nauseum.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2351-0
00:28:29.256 --> 00:28:34.017
<v Tom Fay>but we are going to give you a sense of
things that are going on in capital</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2351-1
00:28:34.017 --> 00:28:38.089
<v Tom Fay>improvement and some IT.
Then I'll be talking a little bit about</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2351-2
00:28:38.089 --> 00:28:41.848
<v Tom Fay>the collections, where we're at,
where we see things going,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2351-3
00:28:41.848 --> 00:28:45.106
<v Tom Fay>and then also with programming as we know
it today.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2351-4
00:28:45.106 --> 00:28:48.176
<v Tom Fay>Just to give a little bit of grounding
before we</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2376-0
00:28:48.656 --> 00:28:52.723
<v Tom Fay>move into the budget season,
which will be coming very soon for you</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2376-1
00:28:52.723 --> 00:28:57.627
<v Tom Fay>all as we get into the October timeframe.
So with that, I'll turn it over to Rob,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2376-2
00:28:57.627 --> 00:29:01.456
<v Tom Fay>who's going to give you a little bit of
an update on his areas.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2428-0
00:29:04.176 --> 00:29:08.110
<v Rob Gannon>Thank you, Tom, and good morning,
members of the board. Again,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2428-1
00:29:08.110 --> 00:29:11.295
<v Rob Gannon>I'm Rob Gannon.
I'm the Director of Administrative</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2428-2
00:29:11.295 --> 00:29:14.418
<v Rob Gannon>Services,
and I have a long list of things that I</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2428-3
00:29:14.418 --> 00:29:18.977
<v Rob Gannon>want to provide to you as an update of
all the goings on at the library,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2428-4
00:29:18.977 --> 00:29:23.536
<v Rob Gannon>or at least on the operating side.
The first half of our fiscal year has</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2478-0
00:29:23.776 --> 00:29:26.761
<v Rob Gannon>in a very busy period.
The everyday activities,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2478-1
00:29:26.761 --> 00:29:31.550
<v Rob Gannon>as Tom alluded to, have been going on.
So we have library spaces open to the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2478-2
00:29:31.550 --> 00:29:34.597
<v Rob Gannon>public and fully energized with patron
activity,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2478-3
00:29:34.597 --> 00:29:37.894
<v Rob Gannon>a wide array of programming throughout
our branches,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2478-4
00:29:37.894 --> 00:29:42.185
<v Rob Gannon>attentive service being provided by our
staff, materials, of course,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2478-5
00:29:42.185 --> 00:29:44.176
<v Rob Gannon>circulating throughout the city.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2532-0
00:29:44.736 --> 00:29:49.183
<v Rob Gannon>But there is a great deal of activity
going on just outside of public view,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2532-1
00:29:49.183 --> 00:29:53.573
<v Rob Gannon>and I wanted to provide sort of a brief
overview of some of those efforts,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2532-2
00:29:53.573 --> 00:29:58.196
<v Rob Gannon>both because they represent the other
elements of what goes on at our library,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2532-3
00:29:58.196 --> 00:30:02.585
<v Rob Gannon>but there are also important things that
are critical underpinnings of our</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2532-4
00:30:02.585 --> 00:30:05.512
<v Rob Gannon>operation and fulfillments of our levy
resources,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2532-5
00:30:05.512 --> 00:30:07.736
<v Rob Gannon>as well as our general fund resources.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2579-0
00:30:08.896 --> 00:30:13.821
<v Rob Gannon>As has already been alluded to in earlier
comments and in other documents in your</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2579-1
00:30:13.821 --> 00:30:16.824
<v Rob Gannon>packet,
the integrated library system replacement</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2579-2
00:30:16.824 --> 00:30:21.388
<v Rob Gannon>project is well underway and is also
approaching a critical period where we</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2579-3
00:30:21.388 --> 00:30:25.232
<v Rob Gannon>will cut over from the legacy system to
the replacement system.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2579-4
00:30:25.232 --> 00:30:28.176
<v Rob Gannon>So we're not only gearing up inside to
have that</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2632-0
00:30:28.256 --> 00:30:31.710
<v Rob Gannon>effectuated,
but we're preparing how we can inform our</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2632-1
00:30:31.710 --> 00:30:35.164
<v Rob Gannon>patrons and our communities about what
that will mean.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2632-2
00:30:35.164 --> 00:30:40.440
<v Rob Gannon>Our internal teams have been coordinating
and preparing for this moment for much of</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2632-3
00:30:40.440 --> 00:30:43.580
<v Rob Gannon>the year,
and so the fall months will represent a</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2632-4
00:30:43.580 --> 00:30:47.976
<v Rob Gannon>big transition point for the library.
It's an enterprise-wide effort,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2632-5
00:30:47.976 --> 00:30:48.856
<v Rob Gannon>and it affects</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2674-0
00:30:49.136 --> 00:30:52.706
<v Rob Gannon>most all of the areas of library
operation.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2674-1
00:30:52.706 --> 00:30:58.061
<v Rob Gannon>So I want to just make clear that this is
not just a cattle area,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2674-2
00:30:58.061 --> 00:31:02.768
<v Rob Gannon>an ILS replacement.
It is really a enterprise-wide system</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2674-3
00:31:02.768 --> 00:31:07.636
<v Rob Gannon>that helps the library operate
efficiently and effectively,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2674-4
00:31:07.636 --> 00:31:09.016
<v Rob Gannon>and there will be</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2700-0
00:31:09.616 --> 00:31:13.936
<v Rob Gannon>Notable stability improvements as well as
a contemporary modern system that</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2700-1
00:31:13.936 --> 00:31:18.200
<v Rob Gannon>supports everyday use of the library.
A critical fulfillment of one of the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2700-2
00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:20.816
<v Rob Gannon>projects identified in the 2019 library
levy.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2746-0
00:31:21.896 --> 00:31:25.702
<v Rob Gannon>At the same time,
our IT team has been engaged in any</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2746-1
00:31:25.702 --> 00:31:30.002
<v Rob Gannon>number of areas making key upgrades and
replacement efforts.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2746-2
00:31:30.002 --> 00:31:34.443
<v Rob Gannon>We are close to replacing all of our
branch wireless upgrades.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2746-3
00:31:34.443 --> 00:31:38.249
<v Rob Gannon>So all of the branches except three are
now complete,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2746-4
00:31:38.249 --> 00:31:42.056
<v Rob Gannon>and the remaining three will be done
later this fall.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2801-0
00:31:42.576 --> 00:31:45.644
<v Rob Gannon>Similarly,
we have been busily over the course of</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2801-1
00:31:45.644 --> 00:31:50.369
<v Rob Gannon>the last year and a half replacing
network switches at each of our branches,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2801-2
00:31:50.369 --> 00:31:55.278
<v Rob Gannon>and we're down to our last three switches.
Those 2 will be completed this fall.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2801-3
00:31:55.278 --> 00:31:58.960
<v Rob Gannon>We have been undergoing some deliberate
server replacement,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2801-4
00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:03.256
<v Rob Gannon>which will allow us to have better server
management capabilities and</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2841-0
00:32:03.456 --> 00:32:07.937
<v Rob Gannon>into our local data center,
as well as better managing our</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2841-1
00:32:07.937 --> 00:32:12.798
<v Rob Gannon>on-premises environments.
And this frankly replaces end-of-life</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2841-2
00:32:12.798 --> 00:32:16.444
<v Rob Gannon>servers.
So this is not just an improvement for</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2841-3
00:32:16.444 --> 00:32:21.305
<v Rob Gannon>the sake of improvement,
but this is replacing old servers that</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2841-4
00:32:21.305 --> 00:32:22.976
<v Rob Gannon>were fast approaching.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2882-0
00:32:23.536 --> 00:32:29.524
<v Rob Gannon>their demise. Throughout the system,
the IT team has been busily at work doing</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2882-1
00:32:29.524 --> 00:32:35.360
<v Rob Gannon>progressive staff computing replacements.
So we've been upgrading the actual</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2882-2
00:32:35.360 --> 00:32:38.998
<v Rob Gannon>devices that our staff across the
branches use,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2882-3
00:32:38.998 --> 00:32:43.016
<v Rob Gannon>and we're trying to keep that on a
regular schedule.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2928-0
00:32:43.376 --> 00:32:48.472
<v Rob Gannon>so that we have timely upgrades to
technology that empowers staff to do all</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2928-1
00:32:48.472 --> 00:32:53.167
<v Rob Gannon>that they can in service to their
communities and patrons. Similarly,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2928-2
00:32:53.167 --> 00:32:58.800
<v Rob Gannon>we're gearing up to start later this fall
in upgrading our public computers to have</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2928-3
00:32:58.800 --> 00:33:03.696
<v Rob Gannon>Windows 11 and a suite of contemporary
software available to our public.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2980-0
00:33:04.176 --> 00:33:08.635
<v Rob Gannon>So that will be another effort that is
busy in our fall months.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2980-1
00:33:08.635 --> 00:33:13.930
<v Rob Gannon>And then deeply behind the scenes,
we continue to make intentional upgrades</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2980-2
00:33:13.930 --> 00:33:17.623
<v Rob Gannon>and enhancements to our cybersecurity
configuration,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2980-3
00:33:17.623 --> 00:33:21.456
<v Rob Gannon>including additional protections to
prevent data loss,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/2980-4
00:33:21.456 --> 00:33:25.776
<v Rob Gannon>but also just reviewing our architectural
structure to assure</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3023-0
00:33:26.416 --> 00:33:31.949
<v Rob Gannon>the safest and most secure environment to
operate our total IT systems.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3023-1
00:33:31.949 --> 00:33:36.022
<v Rob Gannon>IT is very busy,
and they have much more work to do,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3023-2
00:33:36.022 --> 00:33:42.170
<v Rob Gannon>presuming the levy is successfully passed.
So there will be resources that come</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3023-3
00:33:42.170 --> 00:33:48.318
<v Rob Gannon>online in the out years of that levy,
which will continue the efforts that I've</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3023-4
00:33:48.318 --> 00:33:49.856
<v Rob Gannon>just described here.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3076-0
00:33:51.016 --> 00:33:55.853
<v Rob Gannon>Our security teams are busy in a very
different sort of way. Of course,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3076-1
00:33:55.853 --> 00:34:00.825
<v Rob Gannon>our security teams are on the ground
doing everyday work to support safe,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3076-2
00:34:00.825 --> 00:34:06.200
<v Rob Gannon>secure environments for our library staff
and our patrons as they come into our</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3076-3
00:34:06.200 --> 00:34:11.306
<v Rob Gannon>various locations. But in the background,
our security manager and team are</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3057-0
00:34:06.416 --> 00:34:06.816
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Okay.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3076-4
00:34:11.306 --> 00:34:15.136
<v Rob Gannon>initiating an audit,
an assessment of all our locations.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3111-0
00:34:15.616 --> 00:34:20.768
<v Rob Gannon>to assure that we have the necessary and
proper security tools in place.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3111-1
00:34:20.768 --> 00:34:25.214
<v Rob Gannon>So we're looking at the potential for
structural enhancements,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3111-2
00:34:25.214 --> 00:34:29.661
<v Rob Gannon>the way in which we staff our branches
with security officers,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3111-3
00:34:29.661 --> 00:34:33.896
<v Rob Gannon>the way in which we deploy and have our
officers available.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3152-0
00:34:34.496 --> 00:34:40.008
<v Rob Gannon>We're looking at training needs and how
we can be sure that we have the most</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3152-1
00:34:40.008 --> 00:34:44.947
<v Rob Gannon>contemporary and safe practices.
We're looking at our procedures and</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3152-2
00:34:44.947 --> 00:34:50.388
<v Rob Gannon>assessing our everyday practices,
and also looking at the ways in which the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3152-3
00:34:50.388 --> 00:34:53.466
<v Rob Gannon>team,
the security team can support branch</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3152-4
00:34:53.466 --> 00:34:53.896
<v Rob Gannon>staff.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3202-0
00:34:55.136 --> 00:35:00.710
<v Rob Gannon>training them and helping prepare them
for everyday occurrences in the workplace.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3202-1
00:35:00.710 --> 00:35:05.673
<v Rob Gannon>So the security audit is underway,
and we expect in the late fall months</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3202-2
00:35:05.673 --> 00:35:11.112
<v Rob Gannon>that this comprehensive assessment will
help inform how we can make structural,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3202-3
00:35:11.112 --> 00:35:14.376
<v Rob Gannon>environmental,
and staffing improvements in the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3237-0
00:35:14.736 --> 00:35:19.428
<v Rob Gannon>years to come,
especially if levy resources are approved</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3237-1
00:35:19.428 --> 00:35:24.202
<v Rob Gannon>later this month.
So we're preparing ourselves to be even</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3237-2
00:35:24.202 --> 00:35:28.400
<v Rob Gannon>safer and more secure going into the
period ahead.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3237-3
00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:31.776
<v Rob Gannon>Another important security enhancement or</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3286-0
00:35:33.496 --> 00:35:39.071
<v Rob Gannon>baseline amount of work that we're doing
right now is the security team is working</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3286-1
00:35:39.071 --> 00:35:44.646
<v Rob Gannon>with our capital improvement team and our
IT teams to make some very important and</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3286-2
00:35:44.646 --> 00:35:49.885
<v Rob Gannon>timely changes and physical improvements
to our entrance control environment.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3286-3
00:35:49.885 --> 00:35:53.110
<v Rob Gannon>So how we keep our buildings locked and
secure,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3286-4
00:35:53.110 --> 00:35:56.536
<v Rob Gannon>how we use automated control systems to
open them.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3332-0
00:35:56.976 --> 00:36:00.179
<v Rob Gannon>This has been,
I'm sure you all are well aware,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3332-1
00:36:00.179 --> 00:36:05.118
<v Rob Gannon>a trying system over the many past years.
We are doing an actual physical</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3332-2
00:36:05.118 --> 00:36:09.857
<v Rob Gannon>assessment of all of our locations.
We're starting at some of our most</v>

00:36:09.857 --> 00:36:14.462
<v Rob Gannon>heavily used branches, including Ballard,
Capitol Hill, and Central,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3332-4
00:36:14.462 --> 00:36:19.935
<v Rob Gannon>to try and make necessary improvements as
soon as possible so that we are setting</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3332-5
00:36:19.935 --> 00:36:20.536
<v Rob Gannon>the stage</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3385-0
00:36:20.896 --> 00:36:25.727
<v Rob Gannon>for a sustainably secure environment,
while we also look at future enhancements</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3385-1
00:36:25.727 --> 00:36:28.807
<v Rob Gannon>on entrance control systems,
fire control systems,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3385-2
00:36:28.807 --> 00:36:33.397
<v Rob Gannon>and other security systems that are
necessary to support the infrastructure</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3385-3
00:36:33.397 --> 00:36:36.900
<v Rob Gannon>of our branches.
So that too will be part of the security</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3385-4
00:36:36.900 --> 00:36:41.490
<v Rob Gannon>audit, but even more specifically,
we're doing some of that evaluative work</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3385-5
00:36:41.490 --> 00:36:42.336
<v Rob Gannon>right now, and</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3429-0
00:36:43.496 --> 00:36:48.712
<v Rob Gannon>with the help of a new vendor,
we are confident that we're going to be</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3429-1
00:36:48.712 --> 00:36:54.515
<v Rob Gannon>able to make some important improvements
in actual branch security in the near</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3429-2
00:36:54.515 --> 00:36:57.968
<v Rob Gannon>term.
The capital improvements team also has a</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3429-3
00:36:57.968 --> 00:37:01.936
<v Rob Gannon>lot going on above and beyond the
university project.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3489-0
00:37:02.496 --> 00:37:06.989
<v Rob Gannon>That project is well known, I think,
to everyone. We're aiming to have that.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3489-1
00:37:06.989 --> 00:37:10.316
<v Rob Gannon>The contractor,
we reach substantial completion of their</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3489-2
00:37:10.316 --> 00:37:13.701
<v Rob Gannon>efforts here very soon.
This will then allow a period for</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3489-3
00:37:13.701 --> 00:37:18.195
<v Rob Gannon>readying the newly refurbished and
seismically safe building for public use.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3489-4
00:37:18.195 --> 00:37:22.163
<v Rob Gannon>So we're gearing up to have our branch
staff, our facilities crews,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3489-5
00:37:22.163 --> 00:37:26.598
<v Rob Gannon>and our IT teams into the building,
restoring all of the internal functions</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3489-6
00:37:26.598 --> 00:37:27.416
<v Rob Gannon>and furniture.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3517-0
00:37:27.496 --> 00:37:33.515
<v Rob Gannon>And we are still a pace to have that
building open sometime later in the fall.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3517-1
00:37:33.515 --> 00:37:37.173
<v Rob Gannon>Not yet quite ready to declare an opening
date,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3517-2
00:37:37.173 --> 00:37:42.736
<v Rob Gannon>but things are coming together nicely and
we're anxiously awaiting that.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3553-0
00:37:45.296 --> 00:37:50.861
<v Rob Gannon>Central elevators and escalators are
receiving some much overdue maintenance</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3553-1
00:37:50.861 --> 00:37:53.897
<v Rob Gannon>right now.
So I want to be clear that the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3553-2
00:37:53.897 --> 00:37:59.751
<v Rob Gannon>maintenance that we're doing on elevators
and escalators, especially at Central,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3553-3
00:37:59.751 --> 00:38:04.016
<v Rob Gannon>is really a interim refurbishment.
So this work being done</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3600-0
00:38:04.256 --> 00:38:09.241
<v Rob Gannon>literally as we speak at Central with
elevators being taken down and</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3600-1
00:38:09.241 --> 00:38:12.710
<v Rob Gannon>refurbished,
will stabilize their operation for</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3600-2
00:38:12.710 --> 00:38:18.418
<v Rob Gannon>probably a period of one to two years,
which means we should see not only more</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3600-3
00:38:18.418 --> 00:38:24.126
<v Rob Gannon>reliable performance, but less downtime.
But that in turn sets the stage for a</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3600-4
00:38:24.126 --> 00:38:24.416
<v Rob Gannon>more</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3656-0
00:38:24.576 --> 00:38:30.483
<v Rob Gannon>full upgrade and modernization process.
If we receive the levy funds coming out</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3656-1
00:38:30.483 --> 00:38:35.431
<v Rob Gannon>of this vote later next week,
we should have resources to make the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3656-2
00:38:35.431 --> 00:38:41.339
<v Rob Gannon>necessary improvements and upgrades to
our elevators at Central that would last</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3656-3
00:38:41.339 --> 00:38:46.656
<v Rob Gannon>for a 5 to 10 year period, if not longer.
So this is much overdue work.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3679-0
00:38:47.056 --> 00:38:51.934
<v Rob Gannon>But it is really a two-step process.
How do we stabilize in the near term to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3679-1
00:38:51.934 --> 00:38:56.939
<v Rob Gannon>set up a period where we can do a full
refurbishment and have that persist for</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3679-2
00:38:56.939 --> 00:38:58.016
<v Rob Gannon>many, many years?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3731-0
00:38:59.536 --> 00:39:02.531
<v Rob Gannon>I think in your packet or in prior
reports,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3731-1
00:39:02.531 --> 00:39:08.046
<v Rob Gannon>we've also mentioned the HVAC projects.
So the Fremont and West Seattle branches</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3731-2
00:39:08.046 --> 00:39:13.425
<v Rob Gannon>are just about to close temporarily,
starting early in the month of August and</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3731-3
00:39:13.425 --> 00:39:18.191
<v Rob Gannon>then through to November for the
installation of modern electric HVAC</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3731-4
00:39:18.191 --> 00:39:18.736
<v Rob Gannon>systems.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3752-0
00:39:19.216 --> 00:39:22.755
<v Rob Gannon>This work is part of the library's larger
cooling center project,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3752-1
00:39:22.755 --> 00:39:26.938
<v Rob Gannon>providing air conditioning and improved
ventilation to our Carnegie buildings</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3752-2
00:39:26.938 --> 00:39:28.976
<v Rob Gannon>that will set the stage for them to be</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3762-0
00:39:29.056 --> 00:39:29.536
<v Rob Gannon>No.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3790-0
00:39:30.576 --> 00:39:35.200
<v Rob Gannon>both cooled in extreme heat environments,
but also to have better ventilation in</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3790-1
00:39:35.200 --> 00:39:39.310
<v Rob Gannon>the event of wildfire smoke and just
improve their overall condition as</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3790-2
00:39:39.310 --> 00:39:43.136
<v Rob Gannon>important shelters during whatever
weather conditions might occur.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3833-0
00:39:44.176 --> 00:39:47.615
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Rob,
can I stop you there because I wanted to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3793-0
00:39:46.176 --> 00:39:46.736
<v Rob Gannon>Jurru.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3833-1
00:39:47.615 --> 00:39:53.448
<v Yazmin Mehdi>just make sure that we note that the
reason the library can actually do those</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3833-2
00:39:53.448 --> 00:39:59.430
<v Yazmin Mehdi>HVAC replacements at West Seattle and
Fremont is because the library staff went</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3833-3
00:39:59.430 --> 00:40:02.496
<v Yazmin Mehdi>out and got a FEMA grant to do this work.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3871-0
00:40:02.896 --> 00:40:08.730
<v Yazmin Mehdi>So this is work that otherwise might have
had to be funded some other way,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3871-1
00:40:08.730 --> 00:40:15.109
<v Yazmin Mehdi>but thanks to libraries being, you know,
out there trying to be innovative around</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3871-2
00:40:15.109 --> 00:40:19.466
<v Yazmin Mehdi>getting additional funding sources,
we can do that now.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3871-3
00:40:19.466 --> 00:40:22.656
<v Yazmin Mehdi>So I want to just applaud the library for</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3874-0
00:40:22.736 --> 00:40:25.256
<v Yazmin Mehdi>for the effort to get that FEMA grant.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3928-0
00:40:26.736 --> 00:40:31.880
<v Rob Gannon>Thank you for making that note, Yazmin.
That is an important piece of our effort</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3928-1
00:40:31.880 --> 00:40:35.754
<v Rob Gannon>here. And if I could,
I just augment what your comment is to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3928-2
00:40:35.754 --> 00:40:39.184
<v Rob Gannon>say that, yes,
the grants from FEMA that we carefully</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3928-3
00:40:39.184 --> 00:40:44.011
<v Rob Gannon>coordinated with city partners and state
partners has been essential to our</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3928-4
00:40:44.011 --> 00:40:45.536
<v Rob Gannon>ability to do this work.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3966-0
00:40:45.936 --> 00:40:48.822
<v Rob Gannon>but it's not without a library provided
match.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3966-1
00:40:48.822 --> 00:40:53.736
<v Rob Gannon>And some of the cost overruns are also
being absorbed under the current capital</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3966-2
00:40:53.736 --> 00:40:57.482
<v Rob Gannon>improvement project or the current
capital improvement plan.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3966-3
00:40:57.482 --> 00:41:01.536
<v Rob Gannon>And that is drawing heavily on our
precious levy funds. So we are</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4013-0
00:41:03.536 --> 00:41:08.104
<v Rob Gannon>optimizing the use of those grant funds,
but I want to make it clear,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4013-1
00:41:08.104 --> 00:41:12.216
<v Rob Gannon>we're also supplementing them with our
own present levy funds.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/3982-0
00:41:11.536 --> 00:41:11.656
<v Yazmin Mehdi>If...</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4013-2
00:41:12.216 --> 00:41:15.283
<v Rob Gannon>So that will be important in the current
year.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4013-3
00:41:15.283 --> 00:41:20.765
<v Rob Gannon>It'll be important as we fulfill the last
remaining Carnegie HVAC upgrades in 2027.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4013-4
00:41:20.765 --> 00:41:24.616
<v Rob Gannon>So we have two more to go,
and that too will draw both on.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4021-0
00:41:25.216 --> 00:41:28.496
<v Rob Gannon>the FEMA grant as well as library
resources.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4027-0
00:41:28.856 --> 00:41:32.976
<v Yazmin Mehdi>What are the remaining two, Rob?
I think it's Queen Anne.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4067-0
00:41:33.776 --> 00:41:38.075
<v Rob Gannon>It is,
and I should know this immediately after</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4067-1
00:41:38.075 --> 00:41:45.420
<v Rob Gannon>that. Yes, it is Queen Anne and Columbia.
Columbia will receive its HVAC upgrade,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4067-2
00:41:45.420 --> 00:41:49.988
<v Rob Gannon>then it will reopen,
and then it will close again,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4067-3
00:41:49.988 --> 00:41:52.496
<v Rob Gannon>presuming we have the funds.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4089-0
00:41:52.896 --> 00:41:56.500
<v Rob Gannon>to then proceed with the seismic upgrade
at Columbia.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4089-1
00:41:56.500 --> 00:42:02.173
<v Rob Gannon>So short answer to your question is Queen
Anne, your home branch and my home branch,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4082-0
00:42:01.776 --> 00:42:02.256
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Hmm.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4089-2
00:42:02.173 --> 00:42:04.176
<v Rob Gannon>as well as Columbia next year.</v>

00:42:05.056 --> 00:42:09.226
<v Rob Gannon>I have one more item and then I'll end my
litany here.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4126-1
00:42:09.226 --> 00:42:15.141
<v Rob Gannon>I wanted to also note that our facilities
team, our capital improvement team,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4126-2
00:42:15.141 --> 00:42:19.540
<v Rob Gannon>as well as the finance team,
are busily at work right now</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4126-3
00:42:19.540 --> 00:42:23.256
<v Rob Gannon>transitioning our comprehensive plan,
which is a</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4167-0
00:42:24.096 --> 00:42:29.377
<v Rob Gannon>a large inventory of all the maintenance
needs across all our buildings across a</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4167-1
00:42:29.377 --> 00:42:32.833
<v Rob Gannon>30-year period.
And they are working with an outside</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4167-2
00:42:32.833 --> 00:42:38.049
<v Rob Gannon>contractor to help us hone that down into
a 10-year facilities master plan that</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4167-3
00:42:38.049 --> 00:42:43.136
<v Rob Gannon>really looks at what are the most,
the highest priority maintenance projects,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4218-0
00:42:43.536 --> 00:42:47.986
<v Rob Gannon>for the upcoming period,
how we can schedule and systemically plan</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4218-1
00:42:47.986 --> 00:42:53.233
<v Rob Gannon>for those across our capital program,
as well as use the opportunity of having</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4218-2
00:42:53.233 --> 00:42:56.952
<v Rob Gannon>that detailed plan to see when we're
doing maintenance,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4218-3
00:42:56.952 --> 00:43:02.532
<v Rob Gannon>what other opportunities does that create
to enhance spaces or to optimize multiple</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4218-4
00:43:02.532 --> 00:43:05.056
<v Rob Gannon>maintenance projects at the same time.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4262-0
00:43:05.296 --> 00:43:08.877
<v Rob Gannon>so that we're not only using our dollars
as efficiently,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4262-1
00:43:08.877 --> 00:43:13.088
<v Rob Gannon>as effectively as possible,
but we're limiting the time in which a</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4262-2
00:43:13.088 --> 00:43:17.298
<v Rob Gannon>branch is offline and unavailable to our
patrons in our community.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4262-3
00:43:17.298 --> 00:43:21.885
<v Rob Gannon>So that facilities master plan,
we hope will be completed before the end</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4262-4
00:43:21.885 --> 00:43:25.216
<v Rob Gannon>of the year and begin to inform our
maintenance plan</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4321-0
00:43:25.536 --> 00:43:28.907
<v Rob Gannon>in the out years.
We're going to stagger our efforts,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4321-1
00:43:28.907 --> 00:43:33.214
<v Rob Gannon>but do a similar evaluation of Central as
a facility, as a building,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4321-2
00:43:33.214 --> 00:43:36.335
<v Rob Gannon>as a place in need of a good deal of
maintenance.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4321-3
00:43:36.335 --> 00:43:40.393
<v Rob Gannon>But we'll have a comprehensive
maintenance plan as well for this</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4321-4
00:43:40.393 --> 00:43:44.076
<v Rob Gannon>building, Central,
so that we can also do the same sort of</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4321-5
00:43:44.076 --> 00:43:47.197
<v Rob Gannon>opportunities.
When should we do the maintenance?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4321-6
00:43:47.197 --> 00:43:48.696
<v Rob Gannon>How do we optimize that?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4364-0
00:43:48.776 --> 00:43:53.570
<v Rob Gannon>what opportunities do we create to do
space enhancements when certain</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4364-1
00:43:53.570 --> 00:43:58.432
<v Rob Gannon>maintenance projects may open up the
facade or open up elements of the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4364-2
00:43:58.432 --> 00:44:04.186
<v Rob Gannon>building. So that will be important work,
helping inform how we execute a levy plan</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4364-3
00:44:04.186 --> 00:44:07.816
<v Rob Gannon>should it be renewed going into the
upcoming period.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4395-0
00:44:08.016 --> 00:44:10.651
<v Rob Gannon>So with that,
I'll either pause and answer any</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4395-1
00:44:10.651 --> 00:44:13.230
<v Rob Gannon>questions,
turn it back to Tom if he wants to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4395-2
00:44:13.230 --> 00:44:16.986
<v Rob Gannon>comment on anything I missed,
or I'll just turn it over to another</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4395-3
00:44:16.986 --> 00:44:21.696
<v Rob Gannon>colleague to do an operations upgrade as
well. Or operations update as well. Sorry.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4389-0
00:44:19.856 --> 00:44:20.416
<v Yazmin Mehdi>I'm not.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4435-0
00:44:22.016 --> 00:44:25.728
<v Yazmin Mehdi>That's great.
I'm not seeing any questions for my</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4435-1
00:44:25.728 --> 00:44:29.959
<v Yazmin Mehdi>colleagues, Rob,
but I really appreciate hearing all the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4435-2
00:44:29.959 --> 00:44:36.047
<v Yazmin Mehdi>work that's underway. And not only that,
but also that you are thinking about how</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4435-3
00:44:36.047 --> 00:44:40.576
<v Yazmin Mehdi>do we do some of this work in the most
efficient way so that</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4472-0
00:44:40.976 --> 00:44:45.064
<v Yazmin Mehdi>It doesn't affect patrons more than it
needs to.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4472-1
00:44:45.064 --> 00:44:51.321
<v Yazmin Mehdi>But obviously this idea that we would
have a master plan so that we can be</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4472-2
00:44:51.321 --> 00:44:57.996
<v Yazmin Mehdi>thoughtful about sequencing of work and
also like seizing upon opportunities to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4472-3
00:44:57.996 --> 00:45:00.416
<v Yazmin Mehdi>get things like a FEMA grant.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4504-0
00:45:02.416 --> 00:45:07.130
<v Yazmin Mehdi>is, you know,
that we have all our ducks in a row and</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4504-1
00:45:07.130 --> 00:45:13.678
<v Yazmin Mehdi>we understand how to employ funds that
come along. This is really amazing,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4504-2
00:45:13.678 --> 00:45:19.616
<v Yazmin Mehdi>an amazing amount of work,
and I appreciate very much hearing about</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4507-0
00:45:19.656 --> 00:45:21.536
<v Yazmin Mehdi>what's going on behind the scenes.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4508-0
00:45:22.136 --> 00:45:22.576
<v Rob Gannon>Thank you.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4512-0
00:45:24.896 --> 00:45:26.416
<v Rob Gannon>So Tom, I'll turn it back to you then.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4515-0
00:45:29.696 --> 00:45:31.216
<v Yazmin Mehdi>You're muted, Tom.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4557-0
00:45:32.736 --> 00:45:36.894
<v Tom Fay>Sorry, thank you, Rob. I appreciate it.
Thank you, Yazmin,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4557-1
00:45:36.894 --> 00:45:40.982
<v Tom Fay>for noting the mute problem.
I have Kate Tang joining me.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4557-2
00:45:40.982 --> 00:45:46.198
<v Tom Fay>She's just returning from vacation,
so she's going to help run the slides</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4557-3
00:45:46.198 --> 00:45:50.850
<v Tom Fay>since I'm not able to do so,
or the documents that we're going to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4557-4
00:45:50.850 --> 00:45:51.696
<v Tom Fay>share today.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4599-0
00:45:52.176 --> 00:45:58.197
<v Tom Fay>I didn't feel that I had enough time to
brief her in the 20 minutes before this</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4599-1
00:45:58.197 --> 00:46:04.142
<v Tom Fay>getting to IDC to have her be able to
deliver the pieces on some of this other</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4599-2
00:46:04.142 --> 00:46:08.658
<v Tom Fay>work that we're doing,
but she will be jumping in if I miss</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4599-3
00:46:08.658 --> 00:46:14.754
<v Tom Fay>things, which is probably likely. So Kay,
if we could start with Kate's document</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4599-4
00:46:14.754 --> 00:46:15.056
<v Tom Fay>that</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4633-0
00:46:15.136 --> 00:46:20.594
<v Tom Fay>she produced on collections.
I wanted to talk a little bit about,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4633-1
00:46:20.594 --> 00:46:26.217
<v Tom Fay>you know, the collections work.
As noted in the collections report,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4633-2
00:46:26.217 --> 00:46:30.600
<v Tom Fay>obviously,
TCS and our collections folks are doing a</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4633-3
00:46:30.600 --> 00:46:34.736
<v Tom Fay>massive amount of work when it comes to
this ILS.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4677-0
00:46:35.296 --> 00:46:40.846
<v Tom Fay>upgrade. So much of their focus is there,
but then they also have those daily</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4677-1
00:46:40.846 --> 00:46:44.048
<v Tom Fay>duties of making sure that they're
ordering.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4677-2
00:46:44.048 --> 00:46:49.670
<v Tom Fay>Some of those orders are obviously going
to be suspended or delayed as we move</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4677-3
00:46:49.670 --> 00:46:54.296
<v Tom Fay>through the ILS upgrade.
But most certainly they're planning out</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4715-0
00:46:54.416 --> 00:47:00.763
<v Tom Fay>how to spend those dollars throughout the
rest of the year once that system comes</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4715-1
00:47:00.763 --> 00:47:07.033
<v Tom Fay>back online. As we look at our collection,
I think here you can see what we have</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4715-2
00:47:07.033 --> 00:47:13.536
<v Tom Fay>been seeing over time with our projected
circulation over the last couple of years.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4750-0
00:47:13.936 --> 00:47:20.996
<v Tom Fay>It continues to increase,
and you can see that the overdrive or the</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4750-1
00:47:20.996 --> 00:47:27.745
<v Tom Fay>e-materials continues to increase as we
see that spike continue.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4750-2
00:47:27.745 --> 00:47:33.456
<v Tom Fay>I think we see physical collections
plateauing mostly.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4774-0
00:47:34.016 --> 00:47:38.230
<v Tom Fay>We don't see them necessarily reducing
fully in number,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4774-1
00:47:38.230 --> 00:47:42.295
<v Tom Fay>but most certainly kind of at a plateau
point. Sorry,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4774-2
00:47:42.295 --> 00:47:46.736
<v Tom Fay>and I'm trying to look at this as we scan
through it here.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4783-0
00:47:48.336 --> 00:47:51.046
<v Tom Fay>Sorry, Kate,
can you scroll a little farther and go</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4775-0
00:47:49.456 --> 00:47:49.696
<v Kai Tang>In.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4783-1
00:47:51.046 --> 00:47:51.776
<v Tom Fay>ahead, please?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4835-0
00:47:51.776 --> 00:47:55.082
<v Kai Tang>Yeah, Tom,
I do just want to make sure everyone</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4835-1
00:47:55.082 --> 00:47:59.698
<v Kai Tang>notes that in 2024 is when we did have
the cybersecurity incident,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4835-2
00:47:59.698 --> 00:48:04.589
<v Kai Tang>and that is the reason for the lower
physical materials for that year.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4835-3
00:48:04.589 --> 00:48:09.549
<v Kai Tang>We were very lucky our IT was able to
continue the use of RE materials,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4835-4
00:48:09.549 --> 00:48:11.616
<v Kai Tang>but that does show that slight</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4838-0
00:48:11.656 --> 00:48:14.656
<v Kai Tang>strip dip in 2024.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4877-0
00:48:18.256 --> 00:48:22.234
<v Tom Fay>And if you could scroll to the library
lockers,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4877-1
00:48:22.234 --> 00:48:27.124
<v Tom Fay>I think this is one that we're definitely
seeing more use.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4877-2
00:48:27.124 --> 00:48:32.677
<v Tom Fay>I think this is an important piece to
note for collections access.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4877-3
00:48:32.677 --> 00:48:36.656
<v Tom Fay>This has continued to grow year over year
as of</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4917-0
00:48:36.776 --> 00:48:43.261
<v Tom Fay>K reported, excuse me, Kate reported.
And that use is with really not that many</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4917-1
00:48:43.261 --> 00:48:47.234
<v Tom Fay>lockers. So we,
as you've heard us talk about in</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4917-2
00:48:47.234 --> 00:48:51.774
<v Tom Fay>strategic plan,
we're talking about additional lockers,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4917-3
00:48:51.774 --> 00:48:57.692
<v Tom Fay>potentially also kiosks that can
basically dispense books as people walk</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4917-4
00:48:57.692 --> 00:48:57.936
<v Tom Fay>up.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4959-0
00:48:58.496 --> 00:49:01.970
<v Tom Fay>Those are going to be key assets for
access.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4959-1
00:49:01.970 --> 00:49:08.301
<v Tom Fay>We know that the likelihood of us having
the new library buildings is not as high</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4959-2
00:49:08.301 --> 00:49:14.555
<v Tom Fay>and maybe improved as Rob just indicated,
but really trying to get materials out</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/4959-3
00:49:14.555 --> 00:49:18.416
<v Tom Fay>where people are is going to be key over
the next</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5009-0
00:49:18.816 --> 00:49:22.981
<v Tom Fay>five to seven years.
And so you can see that the lockers,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5009-1
00:49:22.981 --> 00:49:28.654
<v Tom Fay>while initially were a little slow to
take off because we only had one or two,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5009-2
00:49:28.654 --> 00:49:33.322
<v Tom Fay>now that we have extended them into other
locations in the city,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5009-3
00:49:33.322 --> 00:49:37.918
<v Tom Fay>that's been picking up.
Also as the city grows and as the hours</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5009-4
00:49:37.918 --> 00:49:43.736
<v Tom Fay>of operations grow and it becomes more of
a 24-hour city, I think we'll continue</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5023-0
00:49:43.776 --> 00:49:49.576
<v Tom Fay>Continue to see that use go up,
and then here you, yes, please.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5036-0
00:49:47.856 --> 00:49:54.338
<v Yazmin Mehdi>tom-tom, can I stop you for a second?
Is there a way to track when the lockers</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5025-0
00:49:51.016 --> 00:49:51.416
<v Tom Fay>Sure.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5036-1
00:49:54.338 --> 00:49:55.816
<v Yazmin Mehdi>actually get used?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5041-0
00:49:56.296 --> 00:49:59.496
<v Tom Fay>We do have that information.
We can see when they're being used.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5050-0
00:49:59.896 --> 00:50:02.755
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Wow,
that would be really interesting to get a</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5050-1
00:50:02.755 --> 00:50:04.216
<v Yazmin Mehdi>report on at some point.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5053-0
00:50:05.176 --> 00:50:06.856
<v Tom Fay>Yep, absolutely.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5092-0
00:50:08.456 --> 00:50:15.475
<v Tom Fay>We can do, we can do that. I'm noting it,
having Amy note it as well. And then,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5092-1
00:50:15.475 --> 00:50:19.862
<v Tom Fay>of course,
the beloved Pete Picks continues to do</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5092-2
00:50:19.862 --> 00:50:27.057
<v Tom Fay>well. As we've noted in this next levy,
we have contemplated how we might be able</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5092-3
00:50:27.057 --> 00:50:27.496
<v Tom Fay>to do</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5119-0
00:50:27.896 --> 00:50:33.959
<v Tom Fay>at peak picks for e-materials.
That one that was is has not been done by</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5119-1
00:50:33.959 --> 00:50:38.029
<v Tom Fay>anyone yet,
but we are game to give it a try and</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5119-2
00:50:38.029 --> 00:50:43.096
<v Tom Fay>figure out a way to do it if we are
successful next Tuesday.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5121-0
00:50:44.296 --> 00:50:45.256
<v Tom Fay>And then...</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5125-0
00:50:46.536 --> 00:50:49.416
<v Tom Fay>K, if you could go to...</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5132-0
00:50:52.296 --> 00:50:55.976
<v Tom Fay>That document that said the one from
Jessica.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5134-0
00:50:56.856 --> 00:50:57.656
<v Tom Fay>PowerPoint.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5172-0
00:50:58.376 --> 00:51:04.105
<v Yazmin Mehdi>And in the meantime,
can I just alert people that peak picks</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5172-1
00:51:04.105 --> 00:51:09.741
<v Yazmin Mehdi>is very, very contagious.
Every time I walk into a library,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5172-2
00:51:09.741 --> 00:51:17.256
<v Yazmin Mehdi>I look for the peak picks and I end up
getting another book out of the library.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5211-0
00:51:17.576 --> 00:51:24.099
<v Yazmin Mehdi>because they really have picked the most
sort of like top bestsellers.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5211-1
00:51:24.099 --> 00:51:29.795
<v Yazmin Mehdi>So what it means is that the stack of
books on my nightstand,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5211-2
00:51:29.795 --> 00:51:36.135
<v Yazmin Mehdi>the ones that I had like either bought or
gotten from somebody else,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5195-0
00:51:31.416 --> 00:51:31.456
<v Tom Fay>I.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5211-3
00:51:36.135 --> 00:51:38.616
<v Yazmin Mehdi>they keep getting subsumed.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5220-0
00:51:38.736 --> 00:51:44.936
<v Yazmin Mehdi>by the books, the Pete Picks books, man,
is really dangerous, but in a good way.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5230-0
00:51:44.656 --> 00:51:51.976
<v Tom Fay>Thanks for that. Well, and just this case,
bringing up that PowerPoint.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5237-0
00:51:53.816 --> 00:51:56.696
<v Tom Fay>The other thing to know is that.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5287-0
00:51:57.736 --> 00:52:02.297
<v Tom Fay>We are still ranked very highly in the
world for e-content checkouts.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5287-1
00:52:02.297 --> 00:52:06.207
<v Tom Fay>I don't expect that to change
dramatically. Well, actually,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5287-2
00:52:06.207 --> 00:52:11.355
<v Tom Fay>I do expect it to change dramatically
with additional funds that could be made</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5287-3
00:52:11.355 --> 00:52:16.699
<v Tom Fay>available through levy dollars and also
the great support that we get through our</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5287-4
00:52:16.699 --> 00:52:17.416
<v Tom Fay>foundation.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5319-0
00:52:17.736 --> 00:52:22.163
<v Tom Fay>So I do believe that we'll see those
numbers increase.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5319-1
00:52:22.163 --> 00:52:28.602
<v Tom Fay>And it's important to note that our team
and TCS and end-to-end collections and</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5319-2
00:52:28.602 --> 00:52:33.431
<v Tom Fay>acquisition really do a great job
managing those purchases.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5319-3
00:52:33.431 --> 00:52:37.376
<v Tom Fay>And it is a constant body of work on
their part.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5323-0
00:52:41.336 --> 00:52:42.696
<v Tom Fay>Can you all still hear me?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5364-0
00:52:42.856 --> 00:52:47.772
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Yes, sorry. No,
I'm not surprised by what you just said.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5364-1
00:52:47.772 --> 00:52:54.931
<v Yazmin Mehdi>I will say I went to Central earlier this
week and there were a ton of tourists in</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5364-2
00:52:54.931 --> 00:53:01.314
<v Yazmin Mehdi>the building, in addition to our,
you know, local patrons. And I did see,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5364-3
00:53:01.314 --> 00:53:03.816
<v Yazmin Mehdi>I did overhear a conversation</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5415-0
00:53:04.216 --> 00:53:09.494
<v Yazmin Mehdi>among some tourists about the peak picks
and how they wished that they were,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5415-1
00:53:09.494 --> 00:53:13.607
<v Yazmin Mehdi>they had library cards so that they could
borrow the books.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5379-0
00:53:12.216 --> 00:53:12.696
<v Tom Fay>Event.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5415-2
00:53:13.607 --> 00:53:18.132
<v Yazmin Mehdi>It's just a good reminder that the
Central Library is, of course,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5415-3
00:53:18.132 --> 00:53:21.765
<v Yazmin Mehdi>heavily used by our own patrons,
but it's also like,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5415-4
00:53:21.765 --> 00:53:26.016
<v Yazmin Mehdi>it's a place that people come from all
over the world to see.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5418-0
00:53:27.016 --> 00:53:28.376
<v Yazmin Mehdi>It's a tourist attraction.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5414-0
00:53:27.656 --> 00:53:28.056
<v Tom Fay>Absolutely.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5463-0
00:53:29.496 --> 00:53:35.187
<v Tom Fay>Absolutely. And again, I apologize,
I'm out on remote here and I've got a 4G</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5463-1
00:53:35.187 --> 00:53:38.735
<v Tom Fay>connection at the moment.
So if you do lose me,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5463-2
00:53:38.735 --> 00:53:43.170
<v Tom Fay>I know Kate can take control if need be.
Just real quickly,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5463-3
00:53:43.170 --> 00:53:48.936
<v Tom Fay>I wanted to talk about programming.
I know that's something that we also have</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5509-0
00:53:49.336 --> 00:53:55.767
<v Tom Fay>contemplated additional funding in the
levy. And with that, often people ask,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5509-1
00:53:55.767 --> 00:53:59.560
<v Tom Fay>well,
how do you go about knowing what you're</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5509-2
00:53:59.560 --> 00:54:03.601
<v Tom Fay>going to do for these programming
opportunities?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5509-3
00:54:03.601 --> 00:54:09.456
<v Tom Fay>And there's a number of ways,
and Kate can most certainly jump in, but</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5553-0
00:54:09.896 --> 00:54:15.024
<v Tom Fay>A lot of these things come from working
with our patrons who are obviously are</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5553-1
00:54:15.024 --> 00:54:19.374
<v Tom Fay>expressing their interest.
Sometimes that's through materials that</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5553-2
00:54:19.374 --> 00:54:23.399
<v Tom Fay>are being selected.
Sometimes that's the reference questions.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5553-3
00:54:23.399 --> 00:54:26.515
<v Tom Fay>Also,
our staff are working with partner groups</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5553-4
00:54:26.515 --> 00:54:30.216
<v Tom Fay>in their neighborhoods where their
branches are located.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5587-0
00:54:30.616 --> 00:54:36.782
<v Tom Fay>So they're also getting that kind of
context around the community and where</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5587-1
00:54:36.782 --> 00:54:40.596
<v Tom Fay>those community needs are.
And then of course,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5587-2
00:54:40.596 --> 00:54:47.411
<v Tom Fay>you all recall that we had our survey at
the end of last year. That gave us, again,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5587-3
00:54:47.411 --> 00:54:50.576
<v Tom Fay>some additional insight into areas that</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5593-0
00:54:50.856 --> 00:54:53.939
<v Tom Fay>People have an interest in K,
if you can move one forward,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5593-1
00:54:53.939 --> 00:54:54.776
<v Tom Fay>that'd be great.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5595-0
00:54:58.936 --> 00:54:59.736
<v Tom Fay>Think.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5600-0
00:55:00.936 --> 00:55:03.336
<v Tom Fay>So there's a couple of things here.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5642-0
00:55:05.256 --> 00:55:08.633
<v Tom Fay>Is this the one I wanted? No, next one,
please.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5642-1
00:55:08.633 --> 00:55:12.081
<v Tom Fay>Although this one was also an interesting
slide.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5642-2
00:55:12.081 --> 00:55:17.358
<v Tom Fay>This one gives you kind of a breakdown of
where people have an interest in</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5642-3
00:55:17.358 --> 00:55:21.862
<v Tom Fay>different types of programming.
So you have enrichment classes.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5642-4
00:55:21.862 --> 00:55:24.536
<v Tom Fay>That's like how to cook, garden, play.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5689-0
00:55:24.576 --> 00:55:29.232
<v Tom Fay>play music, social activities, knitting,
book clubs, gaming activities,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5689-1
00:55:29.232 --> 00:55:32.789
<v Tom Fay>adult life skills,
which we have a lot of interest in,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5689-2
00:55:32.789 --> 00:55:35.893
<v Tom Fay>how to get insurance, do your taxes,
buy a car,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5689-3
00:55:35.893 --> 00:55:39.774
<v Tom Fay>any number of things that we think of as
basic life skills.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5689-4
00:55:39.774 --> 00:55:43.719
<v Tom Fay>Arts and culture opportunities,
more concerts, performances,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5689-5
00:55:43.719 --> 00:55:45.336
<v Tom Fay>if you would have been in</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5731-0
00:55:46.216 --> 00:55:49.733
<v Tom Fay>Central yesterday,
you would have heard on level 3.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5731-1
00:55:49.733 --> 00:55:55.213
<v Tom Fay>I'm not sure what instrument they were
playing, but beautiful music, live music,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5731-2
00:55:55.213 --> 00:56:00.355
<v Tom Fay>humming through the building yesterday.
And that's the type of just passive</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5731-3
00:56:00.355 --> 00:56:05.091
<v Tom Fay>programming that can also work.
Also an interest in wellness classes,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5731-4
00:56:05.091 --> 00:56:07.256
<v Tom Fay>yoga, nutrition, healthy living.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5774-0
00:56:08.216 --> 00:56:12.535
<v Tom Fay>Information literacy,
identifying and combating misinformation,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5774-1
00:56:12.535 --> 00:56:16.517
<v Tom Fay>disinformation, more media literacy,
and computer classes.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5774-2
00:56:16.517 --> 00:56:19.486
<v Tom Fay>The media literacy one is very
interesting.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5774-3
00:56:19.486 --> 00:56:24.278
<v Tom Fay>I happen to be on a call with the
Carnegie Foundation today with Brian</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5774-4
00:56:24.278 --> 00:56:26.776
<v Tom Fay>Lawrence, our CEO for the foundation.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5807-0
00:56:27.416 --> 00:56:32.489
<v Tom Fay>And that's a lot of where they have some
interest. As you might recall,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5807-1
00:56:32.489 --> 00:56:36.576
<v Tom Fay>we received 450,
000 from Carnegie Foundation for our ESL</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5807-2
00:56:36.576 --> 00:56:40.029
<v Tom Fay>program.
They're looking to probably extend some</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5807-3
00:56:40.029 --> 00:56:43.694
<v Tom Fay>of those,
so we're hopeful that we might be in that</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5807-4
00:56:43.694 --> 00:56:43.976
<v Tom Fay>mix.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5847-0
00:56:46.776 --> 00:56:51.646
<v Tom Fay>We all have an interest in this media
literacy from an AI perspective.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5847-1
00:56:51.646 --> 00:56:56.927
<v Tom Fay>So they were picking our brains about how
we were thinking about how library</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5847-2
00:56:56.927 --> 00:57:00.837
<v Tom Fay>positioned with its own internal policies
and practices,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5847-3
00:57:00.837 --> 00:57:05.776
<v Tom Fay>and then also looking for how additional
funding in this area might be.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5884-0
00:57:05.896 --> 00:57:11.424
<v Tom Fay>really be able to help patrons.
So we know that there is obviously some</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5884-1
00:57:11.424 --> 00:57:16.492
<v Tom Fay>additional funding sources that may be
available for programming.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5884-2
00:57:16.492 --> 00:57:21.714
<v Tom Fay>And as you already know,
much of our programming dollars come from,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5884-3
00:57:21.714 --> 00:57:26.936
<v Tom Fay>almost all of them come from the Seattle
Public Library Foundation.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5906-0
00:57:28.056 --> 00:57:32.111
<v Tom Fay>And then, of course,
our staff may be funded in a number of</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5906-1
00:57:32.111 --> 00:57:36.571
<v Tom Fay>ways, through the levy,
through a general fund, or in some cases,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5906-2
00:57:36.571 --> 00:57:39.816
<v Tom Fay>they are also funded in full by the
foundation.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5910-0
00:57:41.056 --> 00:57:43.736
<v Tom Fay>If you could move to the next slide, K,
I think.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5957-0
00:57:46.536 --> 00:57:50.933
<v Tom Fay>Sorry, I'm lagging here a bit.
And one more, please.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5957-1
00:57:50.933 --> 00:57:55.827
<v Tom Fay>And so really sometimes too,
as we talk about programming,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5957-2
00:57:55.827 --> 00:58:00.473
<v Tom Fay>it's going to be tied to the space we
have. So in this,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5957-3
00:58:00.473 --> 00:58:06.696
<v Tom Fay>you'll see things like maker spaces,
co-working spaces, more quiet spaces.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5996-0
00:58:06.736 --> 00:58:11.077
<v Tom Fay>This ties back to what Rob was talking
about with this master plan.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5996-1
00:58:11.077 --> 00:58:16.313
<v Tom Fay>So as we contemplate different types of
programming or different types of uses of</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5996-2
00:58:16.313 --> 00:58:19.314
<v Tom Fay>space,
that all needs to really be thought out</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5996-3
00:58:19.314 --> 00:58:23.401
<v Tom Fay>as we do that master planning effort.
Because some programming,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5996-4
00:58:23.401 --> 00:58:27.296
<v Tom Fay>while we may really want to do it,
for example, maker space,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/5999-0
00:58:27.736 --> 00:58:29.656
<v Tom Fay>The question is, where?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6042-0
00:58:30.856 --> 00:58:35.133
<v Tom Fay>The question is,
who are we partnering with to assist or</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6042-1
00:58:35.133 --> 00:58:41.061
<v Tom Fay>do those classes or that instruction?
So many of those things still need to be</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6042-2
00:58:41.061 --> 00:58:46.839
<v Tom Fay>worked out as we looked to bring on some
additional programming when we were</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6042-3
00:58:46.839 --> 00:58:50.216
<v Tom Fay>successful this Tuesday. And with that,
I'll</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6056-0
00:58:50.456 --> 00:58:56.299
<v Tom Fay>Pause there. It's a lot of information.
Kay's also available to answer some of</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6056-1
00:58:56.299 --> 00:58:58.296
<v Tom Fay>this as you have questions.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6086-0
00:58:59.456 --> 00:59:04.272
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Great, thank you, Tom.
I know that one of the things that,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6086-1
00:59:04.272 --> 00:59:08.436
<v Yazmin Mehdi>you know,
people might be curious about are how do</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6086-2
00:59:08.436 --> 00:59:15.048
<v Yazmin Mehdi>we decide in terms of programming what
the library should provide vis-a-vis what</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6086-3
00:59:15.048 --> 00:59:17.416
<v Yazmin Mehdi>somebody else should provide?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6094-0
00:59:20.856 --> 00:59:22.216
<v Yazmin Mehdi>So, Tom, I know, yeah.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6093-0
00:59:21.016 --> 00:59:21.976
<v Tom Fay>Yeah, I mean, I can...</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6154-0
00:59:23.216 --> 00:59:27.683
<v Tom Fay>I can touch on that a little bit and Kate
can jump in as well.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6154-1
00:59:27.683 --> 00:59:33.356
<v Tom Fay>I think what we look at is where there is
lack of community. And in many cases,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6154-2
00:59:33.356 --> 00:59:39.099
<v Tom Fay>what we may see is a partner out there,
a partner organization that may be doing</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6154-3
00:59:39.099 --> 00:59:44.276
<v Tom Fay>the work but may not have a location to
do it, a meeting place to do it.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6154-4
00:59:44.276 --> 00:59:48.176
<v Tom Fay>So maybe that's how we are the partner.
In some cases,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6194-0
00:59:48.216 --> 00:59:52.799
<v Tom Fay>is we may want to engage those partners
to carry out instruction.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6194-1
00:59:52.799 --> 00:59:57.313
<v Tom Fay>So there's many different ways we would
approach it potentially.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6194-2
00:59:57.313 --> 01:00:02.452
<v Tom Fay>But did that answer the question or did,
Kate, did I stumble on that one?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6194-3
01:00:02.452 --> 01:00:07.799
<v Tom Fay>I'm breaking up a little bit here,
so unfortunately I might have missed part</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6194-4
01:00:07.799 --> 01:00:08.216
<v Tom Fay>of it.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6245-0
01:00:08.656 --> 01:00:12.066
<v Kai Tang>Yeah, no, Tom,
I think that you hit it on the head.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6245-1
01:00:12.066 --> 01:00:17.183
<v Kai Tang>We have fabulous librarians and program
managers and staff who are in contact</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6245-2
01:00:17.183 --> 01:00:21.184
<v Kai Tang>with our community.
And I feel like this is similar to other</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6245-3
01:00:21.184 --> 01:00:24.661
<v Kai Tang>services.
If we find that there is a gap in service,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6245-4
01:00:24.661 --> 01:00:27.416
<v Kai Tang>like Tom said, how can we assist and help?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6290-0
01:00:27.696 --> 01:00:32.088
<v Kai Tang>We do have very strong partnerships with
folks that say, SPS.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6290-1
01:00:32.088 --> 01:00:37.260
<v Kai Tang>And so really happy about having a
standardized MOU with them so that we</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6290-2
01:00:37.260 --> 01:00:42.928
<v Kai Tang>know we have that constant communication
back and forth on what are they seeing</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6290-3
01:00:42.928 --> 01:00:47.533
<v Kai Tang>that their audience needs,
their students that we could possibly</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6290-4
01:00:47.533 --> 01:00:49.376
<v Kai Tang>help with or connect with.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6300-0
01:00:51.376 --> 01:00:57.776
<v Yazmin Mehdi>That's helpful, K. Yeah,
I think the point here being that</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6339-0
01:00:59.456 --> 01:01:05.952
<v Yazmin Mehdi>for example, yoga classes, the question,
you know, somebody might legitimately ask,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6339-1
01:01:05.952 --> 01:01:09.664
<v Yazmin Mehdi>well,
is yoga something that the library should</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6339-2
01:01:09.664 --> 01:01:13.917
<v Yazmin Mehdi>provide when there are yoga classes
offered elsewhere?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6339-3
01:01:13.917 --> 01:01:18.016
<v Yazmin Mehdi>And so I think the thing that's helpful
here is that</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6332-0
01:01:16.976 --> 01:01:17.016
<v Tom Fay>I.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6391-0
01:01:18.736 --> 01:01:22.834
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Obviously,
the library staff are out there listening</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6391-1
01:01:22.834 --> 01:01:29.021
<v Yazmin Mehdi>to what patrons need and want and parsing
that information. It's not like, hey,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6391-2
01:01:29.021 --> 01:01:34.666
<v Yazmin Mehdi>one person asked for a yoga class,
so we're going to offer a yoga class.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6391-3
01:01:34.666 --> 01:01:38.765
<v Yazmin Mehdi>It's really,
there's connection with the communities</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6391-4
01:01:38.765 --> 01:01:41.936
<v Yazmin Mehdi>in which the branches are located so that</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6428-0
01:01:42.736 --> 01:01:48.087
<v Yazmin Mehdi>we're thoughtful about what partners can
do, how we can support,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6428-1
01:01:48.087 --> 01:01:53.603
<v Yazmin Mehdi>but not necessarily offer the whole,
all of the programs. So yeah,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6428-2
01:01:53.603 --> 01:02:00.272
<v Yazmin Mehdi>I just think it's important for people to
realize that it is part of the work of</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6428-3
01:02:00.272 --> 01:02:01.096
<v Yazmin Mehdi>our staff.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6453-0
01:02:01.536 --> 01:02:07.548
<v Yazmin Mehdi>to be aware of what their local
communities need and want and how it is</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6453-1
01:02:07.548 --> 01:02:12.976
<v Yazmin Mehdi>appropriate for the library to respond to
those needs and wants.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6510-0
01:02:13.936 --> 01:02:18.434
<v Kai Tang>Definitely. And Yazmin,
part of our strategic plan projects for</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6510-1
01:02:18.434 --> 01:02:23.496
<v Kai Tang>this phase one was standardizing our
programming so that the library is</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6510-2
01:02:23.496 --> 01:02:26.800
<v Kai Tang>planning seasonally three to six months
ahead.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6510-3
01:02:26.800 --> 01:02:32.493
<v Kai Tang>This has enabled us to gather more data.
It also is encouraging us to be able to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6510-4
01:02:32.493 --> 01:02:35.376
<v Kai Tang>be pre-planning so that we can have those</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6569-0
01:02:36.256 --> 01:02:41.584
<v Kai Tang>standardized programs set and then be
responsive to the community needs when</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6569-1
01:02:41.584 --> 01:02:44.906
<v Kai Tang>trends pop up,
when there is an immediate need.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6569-2
01:02:44.906 --> 01:02:50.096
<v Kai Tang>It's been very helpful to be able to
gather that data and then see as well</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6569-3
01:02:50.096 --> 01:02:54.110
<v Kai Tang>what has worked well,
what is the community's response to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6569-4
01:02:54.110 --> 01:02:58.955
<v Kai Tang>certain programs. So again,
trying to create a more robust ability to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6569-5
01:02:58.955 --> 01:03:00.616
<v Kai Tang>gather that data to make</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6572-0
01:03:00.696 --> 01:03:02.256
<v Kai Tang>those informed decisions.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6579-0
01:03:03.136 --> 01:03:05.536
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Great. Thank you. Go ahead, Paige.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6626-0
01:03:04.816 --> 01:03:09.605
<v Faith Pettis>I would just say I'm really glad that
we're staying relevant and it sounds like</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6626-1
01:03:09.605 --> 01:03:14.214
<v Faith Pettis>the type of work that you're doing to
gather current data on what the trends</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6626-2
01:03:14.214 --> 01:03:18.764
<v Faith Pettis>are is what's going to keep the library
in the communities and relevant for</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6626-3
01:03:18.764 --> 01:03:21.518
<v Faith Pettis>people.
So it and that relevancy changes on a</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6626-4
01:03:21.518 --> 01:03:22.656
<v Faith Pettis>dime, right? So I'm</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6628-0
01:03:23.136 --> 01:03:24.816
<v Faith Pettis>I'm glad we're doing that footwork.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6625-0
01:03:24.296 --> 01:03:24.416
<v Tom Fay>Yeah.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6670-0
01:03:26.496 --> 01:03:29.432
<v Tom Fay>Yeah,
and I think it's also the deep</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6670-1
01:03:29.432 --> 01:03:34.987
<v Tom Fay>partnerships that many of our staff are
working on with our partners.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6670-2
01:03:34.987 --> 01:03:40.145
<v Tom Fay>I was just at an event last night at
Beacon Hill where Tina Mat,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6670-3
01:03:40.145 --> 01:03:44.668
<v Tom Fay>the Librarian there,
was working with a partner group of</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6670-4
01:03:44.668 --> 01:03:46.256
<v Tom Fay>Somali and Ethiopian</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6684-0
01:03:46.656 --> 01:03:52.096
<v Tom Fay>families and just seeing how deeply
engaged they are in the community.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6684-1
01:03:52.096 --> 01:03:53.936
<v Tom Fay>That's kind of work that</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6698-0
01:03:55.456 --> 01:03:59.210
<v Tom Fay>Obviously, we can have data points for,
but we also can have outcomes,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6698-1
01:03:59.210 --> 01:04:01.696
<v Tom Fay>and I think that's really the important
piece.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6719-0
01:04:03.176 --> 01:04:08.699
<v Yazmin Mehdi>That's great. Yeah, absolutely.
Point point noted and taken. Wow. Well,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6719-1
01:04:08.699 --> 01:04:12.918
<v Yazmin Mehdi>thank you, Tom.
Is are we do we have any other special</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6719-2
01:04:12.918 --> 01:04:13.456
<v Yazmin Mehdi>guests?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6743-0
01:04:15.056 --> 01:04:17.994
<v Tom Fay>No,
I think that's as many as we could get in</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6743-1
01:04:17.994 --> 01:04:21.571
<v Tom Fay>today. Sorry,
I went outside so I could actually have a</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6730-0
01:04:19.136 --> 01:04:19.616
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Yeah.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6743-2
01:04:21.571 --> 01:04:23.616
<v Tom Fay>better connection. My apologies.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6796-0
01:04:24.256 --> 01:04:28.805
<v Yazmin Mehdi>No, that's great.
And I understand that you're off camera</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6796-1
01:04:28.805 --> 01:04:33.354
<v Yazmin Mehdi>because it allows you then to be heard
better. Well, Tom,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6796-2
01:04:33.354 --> 01:04:39.158
<v Yazmin Mehdi>I'd like to thank you and Rob, Kay,
as our special guest today to kind of</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6796-3
01:04:39.158 --> 01:04:45.590
<v Yazmin Mehdi>give us that update on the gamut of work
that's being done by the library and how</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6796-4
01:04:45.590 --> 01:04:48.336
<v Yazmin Mehdi>you all are thinking strategically.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6822-0
01:04:49.296 --> 01:04:52.587
<v Yazmin Mehdi>about what we need to be doing in the
near term,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6822-1
01:04:52.587 --> 01:04:57.356
<v Yazmin Mehdi>as well as preparing for the longer term.
So I really appreciate that.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6822-2
01:04:57.356 --> 01:05:00.916
<v Yazmin Mehdi>And with that,
I think we should move on to our next</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6822-3
01:05:00.916 --> 01:05:03.536
<v Yazmin Mehdi>agenda item, which is the union report.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6823-0
01:05:05.936 --> 01:05:06.016
<v Tom Fay>The.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6830-0
01:05:11.536 --> 01:05:14.256
<v Tom Fay>All right, Jesse, I think, is here today.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6834-0
01:05:14.816 --> 01:05:16.896
<v Yazmin Mehdi>I believe she is. I think I saw her.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6839-0
01:05:19.856 --> 01:05:21.536
<v Yazmin Mehdi>There she is. Hi, Jesse.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6840-0
01:05:21.616 --> 01:05:22.816
<v Jessica Lucas>Hey, hello.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6875-0
01:05:25.096 --> 01:05:31.506
<v Jessica Lucas>Thank you for all of those great reports,
Rob and Tom and everyone. Sorry,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6875-1
01:05:31.506 --> 01:05:37.661
<v Jessica Lucas>my voice is a little low today,
but I'm Jesse. I'm the union president.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6875-2
01:05:37.661 --> 01:05:43.816
<v Jessica Lucas>And I just wanted to also thank Charles
for sending over the accessible</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6884-0
01:05:43.896 --> 01:05:48.496
<v Jessica Lucas>Will use policy for staff or for staff to
us as well to look at.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6938-0
01:05:50.416 --> 01:05:55.231
<v Jessica Lucas>We do want to stress that staff need
consistent messaging around the use of</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6938-1
01:05:55.231 --> 01:05:59.665
<v Jessica Lucas>personal devices to access work apps for
information for our patrons.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6902-0
01:05:56.736 --> 01:05:57.056
<v Tom Fay>Yes.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6938-2
01:05:59.665 --> 01:06:04.797
<v Jessica Lucas>I heard specifically that in his report
to you and I just want to make sure that</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6915-0
01:06:01.976 --> 01:06:02.096
<v Tom Fay>Yeah.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6938-3
01:06:04.797 --> 01:06:09.296
<v Jessica Lucas>that's going to be very clear in the
standard when we get to see that.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6970-0
01:06:11.056 --> 01:06:14.630
<v Jessica Lucas>Also,
having devices to work with our patrons</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6970-1
01:06:14.630 --> 01:06:19.836
<v Jessica Lucas>and outreach opportunities,
we need to make sure that everyone has</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6970-2
01:06:19.836 --> 01:06:25.508
<v Jessica Lucas>access to those devices and are able to
use them easily or at least have</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6970-3
01:06:25.508 --> 01:06:28.616
<v Jessica Lucas>instructions available. It is difficult.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6978-0
01:06:28.736 --> 01:06:36.736
<v Jessica Lucas>sometimes to get a device to work in an
outreach situation. And then...</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6992-0
01:06:38.336 --> 01:06:42.300
<v Jessica Lucas>I am a little worried about the statement
about tracking staff movement,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/6992-1
01:06:42.300 --> 01:06:44.256
<v Jessica Lucas>so we'll be talking more about that.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7033-0
01:06:45.936 --> 01:06:50.029
<v Jessica Lucas>On a different note,
I do want to again thank management for</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7033-1
01:06:50.029 --> 01:06:55.061
<v Jessica Lucas>working collaboratively with the union
and staff to lessen the impact when</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7033-2
01:06:55.061 --> 01:07:00.295
<v Jessica Lucas>branches are closed for improvements.

01:11:07.656 --> 01:11:13.797
<v Tom Fay>have a bite to eat, have a drink,
talk about books, talk about the library.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7567-1
01:11:13.797 --> 01:11:19.857
<v Tom Fay>It was really good, good time all around.
So if you do get a chance to go,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7567-2
01:11:19.857 --> 01:11:23.574
<v Tom Fay>I definitely recommend going to one of
those.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7567-3
01:11:23.574 --> 01:11:27.776
<v Tom Fay>They have been doing a lot of work
looking at board</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7568-0
01:11:28.216 --> 01:11:28.736
<v Tom Fay>Kirk.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7603-0
01:11:29.816 --> 01:11:35.381
<v Tom Fay>I do know that Brian has been working
heavily in that effort,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7603-1
01:11:35.381 --> 01:11:41.755
<v Tom Fay>as has Matt Hillman and Sarah,
the former president of the foundation.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7603-2
01:11:41.755 --> 01:11:46.602
<v Tom Fay>So they definitely are bringing in new
board members.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7603-3
01:11:46.602 --> 01:11:49.296
<v Tom Fay>We also had an emeritus lunch.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7642-0
01:11:50.416 --> 01:11:54.005
<v Tom Fay>as well.
So it was good to see many of the former</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7642-1
01:11:54.005 --> 01:11:59.749
<v Tom Fay>board of directors at that luncheon.
And we had a special guest there, I guess,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7642-2
01:11:59.749 --> 01:12:04.272
<v Tom Fay>as he's been considered an emeritus,
so to speak, Jay Richard,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7642-3
01:12:04.272 --> 01:12:10.016
<v Tom Fay>who is on our board of trustees for a
number of years. So it's good to see Jay.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7690-0
01:12:11.816 --> 01:12:16.743
<v Yazmin Mehdi>That's great. Thanks, Tom.
And Amy was on it and I just caught up.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7650-0
01:12:16.496 --> 01:12:16.736
<v Tom Fay>Thank you.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7690-1
01:12:16.743 --> 01:12:20.568
<v Yazmin Mehdi>Here's what Ron probably would have
shared with us.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7658-0
01:12:19.616 --> 01:12:19.736
<v Tom Fay>Yeah.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7690-2
01:12:20.568 --> 01:12:26.819
<v Yazmin Mehdi>The foundation has raised approximately 4.
1 million toward its goal of 5.5 million.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7666-0
01:12:23.296 --> 01:12:23.536
<v Tom Fay>It.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7674-0
01:12:25.776 --> 01:12:26.736
<v Tom Fay>How do you?</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7690-3
01:12:26.819 --> 01:12:32.336
<v Yazmin Mehdi>This figure includes state giving,
which has proven especially beneficial.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7680-0
01:12:30.096 --> 01:12:30.176
<v Tom Fay>The.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7683-0
01:12:31.416 --> 01:12:31.576
<v Tom Fay>Stop.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7732-0
01:12:32.896 --> 01:12:38.341
<v Yazmin Mehdi>The foundation thanks donors for their
generosity and commitment to the library.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7687-0
01:12:33.296 --> 01:12:33.456
<v Tom Fay>No.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7696-0
01:12:35.616 --> 01:12:35.736
<v Tom Fay>Yes.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7701-0
01:12:37.336 --> 01:12:37.696
<v Tom Fay>People.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7732-1
01:12:38.341 --> 01:12:41.769
<v Yazmin Mehdi>And as earlier reported under the
programming tab,</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7732-2
01:12:41.769 --> 01:12:46.273
<v Yazmin Mehdi>so much of our programming actually gets
funded by the foundation.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7708-0
01:12:42.336 --> 01:12:42.456

01:12:46.273 --> 01:12:49.567
<v Yazmin Mehdi>So without these dollars,
that would not happen.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7721-0
01:12:48.656 --> 01:12:48.776

01:12:49.567 --> 01:12:52.256
<v Yazmin Mehdi>So thank you to the foundation for that.</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7728-0
01:12:51.776 --> 01:12:52.016

01:13:22.645 --> 01:13:27.999
<v Yazmin Mehdi>conversation circle class looks like in
practice and how this program helps</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7793-0

01:13:36.656 --> 01:13:41.412
<v Yazmin Mehdi>That is probably what Ron would have
shared with us if he had been able to</v>

f331a0d5-0a93-4fe2-ab3d-c59735aa5857/7823-0
01:13:37.376 --> 01:13:37.456
