Mrs. Alice Reeves, a former Board member, outlined plans for an art festival at the

onded by Mr. Reis and approved.
Mr. Refs will check with Mrs. Reeves for the schedule of the week's activities and a
Board sub-committee for the reception will be appointed at the February meeting.

Mrs. Patouillet recommended that the Board send a letter to all members of the Pinellas
delegation urging support of library legislation and that each member of the Board contact
individually at least one member of the delegatIon. This was agreed to.
Mr. Korosy brought up FLA's plea for Library boards to pay dues for their members in the
Trustee Section of FLA. It was decided this was an individual decision to be made by each
member.

Reis, seconded by Mrs. Patouillet and approved, that~all funds be placed with the City Fi-
nance Director to be kept as separate funds and expended upon certification of the Board
