CLEARWATER PUBLIC LIBRARY BOARD
Minutes of the Meeting November '18, 1983
Page 2
Mr. Royer reported that a proposal in Ohio similar to Florida's
Proposition J proposal was voted down by a significant amount.
Board members submitted suggestions for names for the new library.
Suggestions were narrowed to three choices: l)Clearwater East Library,
2) East Branch of the Clearwater Public Library System, 3) Marymont.
These three suggestions will be presented to the City Commission for
final selection. Mrs. Diller suggested that the public might participate
in the selection of a name for the new library, perhaps by straw poll in
the newspaper.
~lr. 'Hutchens moved that these three names: 1) Clearwater East Library,
2) East Branch or the Clearwater Public I.ibrary System, 3) Marymont,
be submitted to the City Commission in alphabetical order. Motion was
seconded by Mrs. Williams and approved unanimously.
Mr. Hutchens also moved that the City Commission have a suggestion
from this Board that they may wish to submit this matter to the public and
they may use these names or have it wide open, that they consider asking
the public what they would like to name this library. Motion was seconded
by Mrs. \Hlliams and approved unanimous ly.
Mrs. Sol lid asked Mrs. Mielke if she would contact Mr. Ott, a lighting
specialist, concerning lighting for the new library. Mrs. Mielke agreed to
try to contact someone from Mr. Ott's institute to discuss the matter.
It was agreed that there will be,no Library Board meeting in December.
Mrs. Mielke explained that there will be parking cards available for Board
members at the check-out desk to be used instead of paying for the parking
meters for Library Board meetings.
Chairman Royer made a statement of appreciation to the Board members
as he ends his six-year term on the Board.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:40 a.m.
