VI. NEW BUSINESS
A. REOUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THE DISSOLUTION OF THE LIBRARY FOUNDATION.
Vice President Ferguson asked why the Library Foundation was being dissolved.
Mrs. Gilligan noted that the Foundation was established several years ago for the purpose of
creating an ability for the City to take in money for the Friends of the Library and also to take
in money from Soroptimist International which was providing funds for the Children's Story
Room. She said the City could now do this through its own Finance Department and trust
accounts, and this would save paying fees to be a non-profit in excess of $1,000 per year.
Vice President Ferguson moved to, by Minute Motion, approve the dissolution of the Library
Foundation. Motion was seconded by Kelly and carried by a 4-0 vote with Member Benson ABSENT.
