Byron Public Library District Board met March 18.
Here is the minutes provided by the board:
Zoom Meeting Members Present: Lavonne Berkeley, Elaine Breck, Barb Clubb, David Conley, Jill Grennan, Susan O’Neil
Also Present on Zoom: Emily Porter
In-Person Members Present: None
Absent: Richard Pleniewicz
Visitors: None
Mrs. Clubb called the meeting to order at 4:01 p.m.
After introductions were made on Zoom, Mrs. Breck made a motion to approve the Pandemic Response Procedure. The motion was seconded, and a discussion was held on the library’s response to the pandemic so far, and how a potential statewide “shelter-in-place” order would affect the way the library currently does business. Mrs. Porter stated that although curbside delivery is great and the community is appreciative, the library staff should not be exposed any more than necessary. The library will not continue curbside delivery after Friday, and possibly sooner if the state initiates a shelter in place mandate. The motion was approved in a roll call vote 6-0: Mrs. Berkeley, yes; Mrs. Breck, yes; Mrs. Clubb, yes; Mr. Conley, yes; Mrs. Grennan, yes; and Mrs. O’Neil, yes.
Mrs. O’Neil made a motion to approve the proposed Emergency Closing Policy, which includes paying staff for normally scheduled hours. The motion was seconded. The motion was approved in a roll call vote 6-0: Mrs. Berkeley, yes; Mrs. Breck, yes; Mrs. Clubb, yes; Mr. Conley, yes; Mrs. Grennan, yes; and Mrs. O’Neil, yes.
The meeting adjourned at 4:35 p.m.
