A motion was made by Lillian Castro to

The City Manager brought in copies of the
job description for the position of the
librarian.It contains a general format
that he will use in future job descriptions
for the City.It has as its main headings
General Statements of Duties; Distin-
guishing Features of the Class; Examples of
Work; Required Knowledge, Skills and
Abilities; and Acceptable Experience and
Training.For further information, see
the copy passed out to the Board.
The City Manager has received some ordin-
ances about library boards, but needs more
of these so that he can make a determination
as to what our ordinance should be.He
said that ordinances of this type cover a
wide range of spectrum from advisory to
governing.
A 5 -year capitol improvement program was
discussed with the City Manager.After
looking over this list, the Manager
commented that perhaps there were things
that other departments did not need and
that a City Swap Meet could be arranged so
that items could be switched around and
utilized.Also, the purchase of land for
the new City Complex would be taken care
of by the City.

In the Library Budget for FY82 /8 3, the
Manager said that monies for part-time
clerical help would be easier to get
than monies for a full-time employee.
The hourly wage for this type of person
should be about $4.20 per hour.A
final determination for salaries and
wages for the coming year was not agreed
upon.However, we did agree on a figure
of $4,000 for Capital Outlay, $4,190
for Contractural Services, $7,200 for
Commodities, $2,750 for Card Catalog
sets, and $250 for appraisal of books.
The Manager said that he would like to
have a semi-final budget by April 6, 1982
The Manager discussed the possibility of
CETA help.We agreed we would accept
this type of help.
He wanted to know if we had discussed
the salary of the Librarian for the
coming year.He then related to the
comparison of salaries in the Phoenix
and Pinal areas, and the job skill
demand at this time.He also related
to a Library Director in a big library
where this person is mainly a super-
visor (more money in this position) and
a small library where the librarian
performs most all the tasks (less money).
A motion was made by Margaret Carlin
for all old and rare books to be
appraised.The motion was seconded by
Eleanor Lewis and carried unanimously.
A motion was made by Eleanor Lewis to
adjourn.Motion was seconded by Jan
Hiller and carried unanimously.
