I. Call to order B. Boudreaux called the meeting to order at 4:00
11. Old business — Informational Purposes
A. Update on City Hospital Property: The Supreme Court has not made a decision on the Stone
case though one is imminent as it's unlikely the court would recess having not addressed the
question.
B. Update on Civic Village Committee: J. Koenig reported almost 200 brochures were
distributed at the recent Farmers' Market to a positive reception. Brochures will also be
distributed at the Block Street Block Party. The Facebook campaign is well under way. The Civic
Millage Committee's budget is about $20,000 (private money). Stephen Smith and George
Shelton are helping with research that will focus the campaign's efforts. The City Council meets
tomorrow night (Tuesday, May 17, 2016) and B. Boudreaux encouraged all to attend.
C. Report of the Nominating Committee: The committee, comprised of B. Boudreaux and J.
Parry, nominated H. Garner for President, J. Parry for Vice President, S. Graham for Treasurer, and
M. Rice for Secretary for a one year term beginning June 20. S. Clark moved to approve the slate
of officers; H. Garner seconded. All voted AYE. The President customarily serves as the Board of
Trustees' delegate to the Foundation unless the President delegates this function to someone else.
New officers will assume their duties at the June meeting.
III. New Business —Action Required
A. Approval to move the Director of Development position to the Foundation: Originally, this
position was employed by the Foundation. A former Executive Director moved the position to the
library. Staff will research the minutes as to whether this move has already been done. If the
Development Director becomes the Foundation's employee, D. Johnson will remain as managing
supervisor. The Foundation will rent office space, furniture and equipment for the Development
Director. V. Chadick will craft the contract to be approved by the Board at its next meeting.
IV. Adjournment: Meeting adjourned by consensus at 4:30 pm.
