Staff present: D. Johnson, S. Davis, and S. Daniel.

The Board of Trustees meeting was called to order at 4:01 pm by S. Clark.
Minutes
A. Minutes of October 15, 2012: B. Boudreaux moved to approve; M. Rice seconded. All voted AYE.
Reports
A. Management reports
1. Key upcoming events: D. Johnson noted children's programming will take a 2 week break from
December 31, 2012 through January 13, 2013. Holiday events include the Brian and Terri Kinder
Christmas Concert. Teen programming includes Atari to xBox, Free Flix before Six and Silent Library.
2. October - November Strategic Plan progress: D. Johnson noted the successful Gala. Kudos to M.
Burdette for coordinating 133 volunteers who donated over 1000 hours to the event. The partnership
with AETN is going well; film showings and the panel discussions that follow have been well received.
Food for fees was a success. The Friends have purchased a one-year license for Freegal, a download
music service sold to libraries for free use by their cardholders ($11,000). Outreach efforts include
Upward Bound, Lifestyles, Lending Hands, and Butterfield Trail. Attendees at the PUG conference
chaired by L. Yandell called it the best one ever. FPL was voted best library by Citiscapes and NWA
Times readers. In 2013, we will partner with First Thursdays and book children's acts for these evenings.
3. October -November Performance Measures: D. Johnson noted that while circulation of all print
materials is up, digital downloads have skyrocketed 69% over last year. Our problem is keeping up with
demand because eBooks circ only one at a time. The digital collection has grown by 95%, but we need
even more. A decline in eFPL usage is typical for this time of year.
B. Financial reports
1. Balance Sheet as of November 2012: S. Davis noted the market is volatile with the fiscal cliff looming.
2. Budget to Actual through November 30: Between all revenue sources, FPL will end up with
approximately $11,921 more than we budgeted. In the personnel line, we are ahead by $140,000 due
to various position vacancies during the year. Predicted annual revenue stands at $3,790,415 and
predicted annual expenses are $3,591,750 for a difference of almost $200,000.
Old business
A. PTO and Sick Accruals: The 2011 audit noted there are several employees with an excessive amount of PTO
and ESL. Should all of these employees leave at the same time, the library would face a financial hardship.
Staff researched PTO and ESL policies in place at other entities and developed a number of options to
mediate the risk, as listed in the memo. There are 12 employees above 320 PTO hours and 6 above 500. If
everyone cashed out their excess PTO hours or rolled them into their retirement fund, approximately $50,000
would be required. It was also noted that % time employees accrue PTO at only % the rate of full-time
employees. M. Rice moved to approve recommendation 1 which increases monthly PTO and ESL accrual for
Group 2 employees to % of the accruals of Group 1 employees; B. Boudreaux seconded. All voted AYE. M.
Rice moved to implement a new maximum PTO balance of 320 hours; B. Boudreaux seconded. All voted
AYE. B. Boudreaux moved to approve recommendations 2a, 2b and 2c which list the options available to
employees for reducing excess PTO. M. Rice seconded. All voted AYE. Historically, few employees opted to
cash out their PTO because the value was set at only 50%. B. Boudreaux moved to approved
recommendation 3 raising the buyout to 100%; M. Rice seconded. All voted AYE. M. Rice moved to
approve recommendation 4 requiring Group 1 and Group 2 employees to take a full work week off on an
annual basis; B. Boudreaux seconded. All voted AYE.
B. Gala update: D. Johnson stated we are doing final payment negotiations with VISTA, and will then be able to
issue a full report, including financials. There has been lots of praise for the event which resonated with the
community. At public viewings of the DVD, we have had to turn people away at the door for lack of capacity.
The DVDs are selling very well. Kudos to S. Foley for her vision and all her efforts to create this memorable
event.
V.
VI.
C. Resolution of Appreciation: M. Rice moved to approve the Resolution of Appreciation for the firm of Davis,
Clark, Butt, Carithers & Taylor; K. Agee seconded. All voted AYE.
D. Space Needs Analysis Update. D. Johnson noted that the deadline for submitting statements of qualifications
is noon on 12/18/2012. The submittals will be graded by a selection committee that will recommend the top
3 to the Board of Trustees.
New business
A. Cafeteria Plan (DataPath) payment card: S. Davis explained that currently employees must submit receipts
and be reimbursed. We are submitting paperwork to set up debit cards as a convenience to employees.
B. 2012 Budget Adjustment Approval: B. Boudreaux moved to approve the reallocation in the schedule of
proposed budget adjustments; M. Rice seconded. All voted AYE.
C. 2013 Budget approval: S. Davis noted the FINRA grant for 528,835. This is the amount budgeted for 2013
from a larger grant of almost 5100,000 to be spread over 27 months. There is a good chance of going over $4
million in total revenue in 2013 due to additional grants received during the year. We are budgeting $2.4
million for personnel, including $78,000 for merit -based raises. Management is revamping the evaluation
process. Evaluations will take place in February; raises will be established in April. Library materials and
programming are budgeted at $701,000. Freegal, paid for this year by the Friends, may be budgeted by the
library in 2014. Volunteer and outreach programming will be more aggressive. Transfers from designated
funds will pay for replacing $30,000 worth of furniture nearing the end of its 7-10 year useful life. The 2013
budget shows a deficit of 5108,000 but a management position will likely remain unfilled. In 2012, we had a
deficit of approximately $100,000 but are ending with a surplus of at least 5150,000. In 2013, we will likely
have a $50,000 surplus if we don't use the salary savings. The real estate market is strengthening. M. Rice
moved to adopt the proposed budget; S. Graham seconded. All voted AYE.
D. Audit contract approval: Five firms responded to our request for qualifications. A committee selected BKD.
Their fee is 517,900 which is a little less than for the 2011 audit. Had we gone with Grant Thornton, the city's
choice, their fees were considerably higher. M. Rice moved to approve BKD as the library's auditor for the
next 5 years; B. Boudreaux seconded. All voted AYE. The foundation will vote independently about their
choice of auditor. S. Davis noted he has been in contact with the inspector general's office for NEH about the
need for a single audit. Because we received bridge funding, that reduced the amount of the grant, we are
not subject to a single audit - unless we get additional federal money that puts us over $500,000 in federal
funding. Future federal grants should be in the library's name.
E. Engagement Letter for Library: No further action required.
F. Engagement Letter for Foundation: No further action required.
Adjournment: K. Agee moved to adjourn; M. Rice seconded. All voted AYE. Meeting adjourned at 5:14 pm.

C. Space planning needs assessment— cost estimate: 1. Scherer has developed a proposal for a needs
assessment - the precursor to planning for expansion. Planning for a branch is an optional component of the
proposal. Scherer's firm is a respondent to the city's request for qualifications; this satisfies state advertising
requirements. The general process going forward is to form a selection committee, evaluate the city's
respondents, interview those that best meet FPL's needs, select one, and negotiate a contract. M. Rice
moved to go forward with getting the city's list of architects and planners and to spend up to $100,000 for
the needs assessment. Motion failed for lack of a second. B, Boudreaux moved to approve moving ahead

64e: Space Needs Assessment RFQ Decision
Background
During the October 15, 2012 Board of Trustees Meeting the decision was made to move forward with a
"Space Needs" study for the Library. An Architectural Firm Selection Committee was formed consisting of,
Kim Agee, Don Marr, Don Deweese, Bret Park, and Lolly Greenwood with the charge of selecting a firm to
conduct the "Space Needs Analysis.' The analysis will include a "Branch Library component.
The Committee met on November 14, 2012 and agreed that advertising a formal Request for Qualifications
(RFQ) would be the preferred, fair method for selecting the architectural firm that the library would partner
with for the "Space Needs Analysis". The deliverable from the analysis will be an updated 20 Year Master
Plan Update and Expansion Study.
•The RFQ was drafted and advertised with a deadline for submissions of December l&", 2.012. Five firms
submitted proposals:
• Clark Nuesemann
o DeMx
• Modus Studio
o MS&R
a Polk Stanley Wilcox
Analysis
The Committee reviewed the proposals online and used a scorecard to rank the firms. The Committee met
on January 9, 2013 to review their findings.
After discussion, the rankings were unanimous among the voting members of the committee.
1. Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle (MS&R)
2. Polk, Stanley, Wilcox
15
3. Clark, Huesemann
A. deMx
5, Modus Studio
The top two firms were clearly rated the highest. There was additional discussion around the first two, but it
was dear and unanimous that MS&R was the higher qualified and preferred of the two. The remaining
three were relatively equal in ranking to each other, yet nowhere near the first two.
Recommendation
It is the recommendation of the Architectural Finn Selection Committee that the Library move forward with
contracting Meyer, Scherer, & Rockcastle to conduct its Space Needs Analysis. The expected deliverable
from this analysis will be an updated 20 Year Master Plan Update and Expansion Study. An original
proposal submitted by MS& R dated October 2, 2012 will serve as framework for the hourly rates, fees and
services to be delivered by MS&R.

Memo
Tot Board of Trustees, Fayetteville Public Library
Through: David Johnson, Executive Director
From: Sam Palmer
Date: February 18, 2013
Re: Library Remodeling Projects
Background
After 9 years of increasing patron use, additional programming, storage limitations, and changing staff
needs, several remodeling projects have been identified that will improve the building's functionality. These
changes fall under Policy FO which requires the Executive Director's approval and cost estimates from the
Facilities Manager. Because of their larger scope, we wanted the Board to be aware of the changes that
are coming.
1. Children's Storage Area; To store all the materials needed for the ever increasing programming load,
we are proposing to reduce the size of the puppet theater back -stage which will create additional space
in the storage room. Additional shelves will increase the room's capacity allowing for removal of
programming materials currently stored in the youth services work area. In turn, this change will free
up space for an additional staff work station. The approximate cost is $8800.
2. IT Office Remodel: The director of IT needs a private office. In his role as director, as PUG chair last
year and as sub -chair this year, he is routinely involved in conference calls and webinars that disrupt
the system administrator and IT intern. The approximate cost is $16,000.
3. Technical Services Remodel: As the receiving area for all new library books, media, and processing
supplies, staff needs table space and shelving to accommodate the shipments that arrive almost daily.
This remodel will involve moving desks and overhead storage, constructing a table, and building
shelves. The approximate cost is $6000.
4. Terrazzo behind Circulation Desk: Heavy traffic behind the circulation desk has created significant wear
on the cork flooring. Switching to terrazzo would provide a more durable surface and match the
remainder of the library's lobby. The approximate cost is $18,000
No Board action required except for the terrazzo; see following memo.

American Terrazzo as sole source vendor for terrazzo
Re:
ackgrcund
Heavy traffic behind the circulation desk has created significant wear on the cork flooring. Switching to
terrazzo would provide a more durable surface and snatch the remainder of the library's lobby. A number of
companies have been contacted about doing this work; American Terrazzo Company, Ltd. is the preferred
vendor for the following reasons:
• They did the initial installation for Blair Library.
o They have the color in stock and can guarantee match of both terrazzo and grout.
• Other vendors do not have the exact color on hand and have indicated they could only come close

Memo
To: Board of Trustees, Fayetteville Public Library
Through: David Johnson, Executive Director
From: Lynn Yandell
Date: February 18, 2013
Re: RFID security gates with radar based patron counter - sole source
Background
Since the initial installation of the RFID security gates and patron counting system at the library's entrance,
vast improvements in this technology have been realized in the field. The existing patron counter at the
library's entrance is not integrated into the gates and has proven extremely inefficient and consistently 40%
below actual traffic. The efficiency of RFID tag detection and read rate has also greatly improved. An
upgrade of the RFID gates to the latest technology will provide accurate patron traffic information and
improved security for the library's collection. The goal is to have the new hardware installed as early as
possible this year to gather accurate data with which to inform the space needs assessment. The benefits
are three -fold:
® Improved patron traffic analysis and ability to distinguish individuals in groups walking together
® Improved security for the collection as tag detection and read rates are improved
o New software can alert multiple stations in the Circulation department when the gates alarm
When the original RFP for Blair Library's technology infrastructure was issued, Bibliotheca was selected as
the RFID provider. Biblotheca provided all RFID hardware for the self checks, staff stations, automated
materials handling system (conveyor), and the RFID tags for the collection. Bibliotheca's software
component for encoding and decrypting tags was integrated into Polaris and the software driving the
conveyor system. The data on the tags is proprietary and encrypted and may only be decoded with
Bibliotheca's software. As such, this company is the sole source for any new RFID equipment. To use
another vendor would require changing the library's RFID platform, retagging the entire collection, and
could potentially require the purchase of new self check units and new conveyor.
Recommendation
Staff requests that the Board of Trustees waive the Library's procurement policy for the Bibliotheca contract
and authorize the purchase of the Bibliotheca Smartgate 400s with integrated radar based patron counting
technology. This procurement policy waiver will apply to all equipment to be purchased from Bibliotheca
while it is the platform used by the Library. The total price is $24,279.93. For details, see attached quote.

Re: Accounting Software
Background - New Accounting Software
Last May Fayetteville Public Library upgraded its accounting software from two single licenses of
QuickBooks Premier Software -- one for accounting & payroll purposes and one for purchase order
preparation to a single QuickBooks Enterprise version. The purpose of moving to Enterprise was to:
1. Be able to continue to process payroll as our previous edition would not support this function in
2013;
2. Have a single database for accounting/purchasing functions;
3. Enable department managers to self initiate budget to actual inquiries; and,
4. Provide a more robust financial reporting of financial data for use by the Board, Management and as
needed, granting agencies.
Analysis
For organizations that use QuickBooks Payroll, QuickBooks requires the underlying accounting software be
within 3 years of the most current version of payroll. The Lihrary had to upgrade its accounting software by
mid -fall 2.012 to enable payroll to continue to be processed. This short time frame did riot allow sufficient
time to determine our software needs, develop an RFP, evaluate the responses, make a recommendation
and implement the new software. The least disruptive option at that tirne was to upgrade from the single
user version of QuickBooks to the Enterprise version that also contained the Not for Profit accounting
elernents required for the Foundation.
During 2012, staff worked with the Enterprise software package to address each of the Items listed above
but with lirnited success. As stated in the May 2012 memo, QuickBooks Enterprise or Premier software
packages provide a generally reliable accounting database platform but have structural issues that limit their
use to an organization like Fayetteville Public Lihrary. QuickBooks has virtually no capability for "inquiry
only" so the number of users has to be tightly controlled because anyone with access for inquiry would also
be able to make entries that would impact the Library's financials as well as data integrity.
QuickBooks does not have the capability of performing fund accounting processes which means staff has
to perform these functions "offline" outside the database. Management staff has had to track their individual
budgets in Excel or manually so they would know where their expenditures were in regard to the adopted
27
budget. Budget to actual reports can be produced out of QuickBooks but it requires several added
manually driven steps.
After working with the Library's data, the Foundation's data, and FPL's donor software for the past ten (10)
months, it is my conclusion that FPL needs an integrated package that includes accounting software with a
GASB compliant platform and an associated fund raising/volunteer package that talks to the financial side.
Such a package would enable FPL to easily prepare budget to actual management reports and grant
documentation should we be audited by a granting agency.
Several members of the Library staff have worked over the past 10-12 weeks cleaning up and merging the
two GiftWorks databases. During this process there were a few deficiencies identified that makes the donor
software time intensive. For example: Assume a fancily makes a pledge where several members of that
family will be making payments toward that pledge. GiftWorks requires special processing for each of the
contributing members and is time consuming to ensure the data is accurate.
Also, GiftWorks is not integrated into QuickBooks; donor data has to be exported from GiftWorks and
imported into QuickBooks which creates the necessity to reconcile both the data export plus the data
import. Thus far, it has been less time consuming to maintain the data separately which limits its utilization
by management staff.
Staff performed an internet search, identified several software companies that have out-of-the-box solutions
that are designed for governmental agencies. We, as Staff, have reviewed four (4) accounting and two (2)
fund raising packages via internet demonstration. The cost of moving FPL to a more appropriate software
platform for financial reporting with a fully integrated donor (fund raising) module is expected to be
approximately $45,000. This cost estimate is based on predicted cost for the software, training and data
migration/conversion from both the QuickBooks platform and the GiftWorks platform.
The proposed process is for the Board to approve a budget adjustment providing funding for the software
project, staff to develop an RFP and evaluate the responses and submit the selected vendor to the Board
for purchase approval.
Recommendation
Approve a budget adjustment to the 2013 Budget adding $45,000 for purchasing new accounting and fund raising
software.

Re: Revise by-laws to consolidate 2 standing committees
6lactcgvound
The Board of Trustees' by-laws designate four standing committees, only one of which (Nominating) rneets
on a regular basis:
1. Finance Committee
2. Nominating Committee
3. Art Committee
4. Audit Committee
The duty of the Finance Committee is "to provide financial guidance and direction for the library." This
charge could encompass the duties of the Audit Committee, "to review the reports and performance of the
audit." For efficiency, these two committees could he collapsed into a single Finance Committee. This year,
the auditors have asked to interview the chair of the Audit/Finance Committee.
(Recommendation
1. Collapse the duties of the Audit Committee and the Finance Committee into a single Finance
Committee. Appoint a chair and members to review the annual audit for presentation to the full Board of
Trustees. As the library begins its space study assessment, this committee may be called upon to meet
on a more regular basis. This recommendation would require amending the by-laws as attached.
