2. Budget Update
Paula received the FY10 Budget Template with instructions from the Provost’s
office. Taxes will be at least 1.75%. The instructions stated that we should plan for
at least a 5% reduction. We’ll know more after the Board of Trustees meeting in a
few weeks.
3. Questions
There was a question about the Library closing early on December 23 at 4:00pm.
Was there any pushback from patrons about any of the libraries being closed on
reduced service days? No one has heard anything.
Has Paula received any submissions from faculty and staff with ideas of areas of
future interest and growth in the Library? Paula has received approximately 30
emails.
4. Repository Planning Team
The name of the team will be changed to Digital Planning and Implementation
Team. The team will take approximately four months for planning and then will
begin implementation. The Committee recommended an additional individual
[for EC - Joanne Kaczmarek] to serve on the team and the Committee agreed
with the report’s suggested chair [Tim Donohue] and he will be asked to lead the
team. The Committee also suggested a few changes to the document.

Bill and Karen
Bill and Karen will be sending a draft out in the near future.
