| Reappropriation | |
At its September meeting, the Board approved providing partial scholarships for two library directors to attend the Cleveland State University Leadership Academy. Since funds were appropriated for only one partial scholarship in the amount of $1,200, it is necessary to appropriate an additional $1,200 for the second person to attend. Marti Miller MOVED and Karen Tschudy SECONDED a motion TO REAPPROPRIATE NON-PROJECT MISCELLANEOUS FUNDS FROM $7,000 TO $8,200. Ayes: Clark, Crehore, Duffett, Hartzell, Jennings, Miller, Polott, Rom, Stepanian, Stevens, and Tschudy. Nays: none. Abstentions: none. |

|
| LSTA Minigrant | |
Cindy Bailie arrived at 9:50 a.m. Mike Snyder presented a draft of an LSTA Minigrant application in the amount of $20,000 for partial funding of a Management Training Series. The LSTA request will be for $15,000, and the remainder of $5,000 will be matched from the CAMLS Non-Project Fund. The grant does not reflect the residential costs, which will be covered by registrants' fees. The budget to be distributed to the Board in November will be set up as an ongoing account, similar to Library Leadership Ohio. The grant application must be submitted to the State Library by November 22; if approved, the grant will be for the period April 1 - August 31, 2001. If CAMLS does not receive funding, and since the grant application is only covering partially the costs of the Issues Track, it may be necessary to write letters to the Gund Foundation or The Cleveland Foundation for discretionary funds. The Management Training Series may serve as a model that could be replicated throughout Ohio. David Jennings MOVED and Joan Clark SECONDED a motion TO APPROVE THE LSTA MINIGRANT APPLICATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $20,000 FOR PARTIAL FUNDING OF THE CAMLS MANAGEMENT TRAINING SERIES. Ayes: Bailie, Clark, Crehore, Duffett, Hartzell, Jennings, Miller, Polott, Rom, Stepanian, Stevens, and Tschudy. Nays: none. Abstentions: none. |
