LIBRARY DIRECTOR REPORT
The Library Director, Ms. Pergander, provided the following information:
a. Presentation byJenn Hovanec, Librarian: Facebook for Library Board members
This item was addressed earlier in the agenda.
Ms. Pergander began with items that did not appear in her written report:
Now that the other south side repairs are completed, we are preparing for the replacement of the master
switch first damaged during the heavy rainstorms of summer, 2014 when water leaked inside the main switch
box and shut off all our electricity for several days. The replacement parts will take up to seven weeks to
obtain. We want to do the replacement after danger of freezing temperatures has passed, to protect the
sprinkler pipes in the penthouse, which will not have any temperature protection during the two days power is
shut off to do the repairs. We are continuing to work with our insurance broker to see if this work is covered by
our insurance. Also, we obtained the quotes to make the Quiet Room door or doors automatically open about $2,000 to $3,500 per door. PLUS additional electrical work must be done to support the doors. The
architects recommended that if this is desirable, they suggest doing only one door, as doors actually get harder
to open with this in place if the auto feature isn't used. Since this item was not on the agenda, no decision can
be made tonight. However, Board members briefly discussed the issue and asked Ms. Pergander to get
information from other libraries about how and where they have internal automatic doors, such as for rest
rooms. Ms. Pergander expressed concern about loss of auditory and visual personal privacy if such doors are
added to rest rooms. Ms. Pergander also repeated that the architects assured the Board that the doors as
installed currently meet code. The local Deerfield Bannockburn Riverwoods (DBR) Chamber of Commerce has
offered to hold its open house event here at the Library in November of 2015. Ms. Pergander suggests that the
Board agree, because it will be an excellent way to introduce a new Director. Another Preschool Pavilion
window has shattered, with no known cause. The cost to replace will be under $1500. The League of Women
Voters has offered to conduct a Candidate Night for the Village and Library contested seats. The current plan is
to hold the event at Village Hall on Sunday, March 1 (subject to change). This event is completely independent
of the Library or Village.
The above topics just came in this week.
b.

Director's request to retire in May, 2015
Ms. Pergander noted that a copy of her request to retire is in the board packet. She thanked the board for their
support and expressed how much she has appreciated being Director at Deerfield for the last nine years. She
said it has been her dream job, and she is proud of all that has been accomplished together. The advantage of
retiring is to give the board several months to plan for the transition before she leaves. She pledged to assist in
making it a positive and successful transition.

c.

Highlights from Director's written report
Ms. Pergander presented highlights, including the following:
All staff have been trained and prepared for our launches of Hoopla, Learning express, and Careers College.
Freegal and MyMediaMall promotions continue. The front entry doors have been problematic since before we
opened this building, preventing access to the building and resulting in service being needed in some cases
several times a week. A new solution is being developed to redesign how the doors operate, and to eliminate
the chance for human error. The total cost will be about $1000, and no better way to achieve this has been put
forth in the past two years. Ryne Mante used his Hicks Grant to complete certification testing for Network
Certification. Congratulations! In November a police officer noticed that our flag was flying in the darkness,
unlit through the night. We had an electrician correct the problem, and the flag is now lit at all hours of
darkness, year round. Four representatives attending the Chamber luncheon in December, and although we did
not receive the award for business of the year, it was an excellent networking opportunity. An article about the
top ten circulating items was featured in Deerfield Review as well as a number of social media sites. Staff
members continue to write blogs about good books, and these are being featured regularly in the print and
online editions of the Deerfield Review. We conducted coat drives and Toys for Tots. We participated in the
Lake Forest College jobs fair, to promote part time jobs at DPL. We are continuing outreach to families with
children and young adults with special needs, and conducted several programs for older students. We are also
offering training and volunteer opportunities to members of Center for Enriched Living, and have some
suggestions for inclusive programming for mid-aged adults with special needs as well. In December 2014 we
had our second highest December circulation since 2007. Only December 2013 was higher, during our
reopening year. Downloads of books were the second highest ever recorded. The new Lucky Duck collection
has launched - in addition to copies of highly-popular items that can be reserved, the Lucky Duck copy is a first
come, first served option - if it is on the shelf that day anyone can take that copy. Mr. Simon mentioned he was
surprised not to have learned of this in advance of the launch. Ms. Pergander said she apologized if she had not
mentioned the development of this option to better serve our patrons at an earlier meeting. Recent FOIA
changes require making board member contact information public - we are already in compliance with the
change. The number of tax forms available to using paper form is extremely limited. We are informing the
public and assisting them in obtaining electronic copies.

d.

Prototype GIVE button for donations, and related donation information update
At the Boards request, a prototype of the GIVE button was developed and shown to the Board. After
deliberating, they requested that the location be moved to the top line, next to the word FRIENDS, and that
GIVE be changed to GIVING.

e.
f.

Winter Wish List for Friends meeting
Ms. Pergander provided a copy of the Wish List being shared with the Friends next week. Judy Hoffman and
Board member Marla Dembitz will attend and discuss the items with the Friends.
Ms. Dembitz discussed the need for passive donation options for things that the Friends don't want to support,
because they are still needed by the Library. We need to continue the discussion with the Friends about
fundraising.

g.

Illinois Per Capita requirements for 2016-17
Ms. Pergander pointed out the requirements for the next Per capita grant which will involve the Board technology EDGE assessment, and a board discussion about how the library fosters resource sharing. If these
are not completed before Ms. Pergander retires, they will need to be completed prior to September 2015 to
qualify for the grant.

h.

Patron concern regarding December 24 closure of the Library
Ms. Pergander provided information about nonresident who complained to several staff members about the
Library being closed on December 24. Ms. Pergander did a survey of other libraries and other civic organizations
and presented the findings to the board, along with the history of when and how the holiday was given. The
board made no change in the current practice.

i.

Award of Per Capita Grant for 2015 for $22,781.25
This item was addressed earlier in the agenda, under the Treasurer's Report.
Mr. Rivlin said he had been approached by a resident who expressed concern about seeing lights on in the
library after closing for the night. Ms. Pergander explained the lights come on when the cleaning crew is in the
building, and the architectural ("ball" lights) stay on as a design feature. She offered to discuss it further with
the patron, and to get more details to determine if there is a lighting issue, such as a timer that is
malfunctioning.

8.

OLD BUSINESS
a. Memorial Committee update
Mr. Simon announced that there are no updates at this time. He asked if any other Board member would be
interested in chairing this committee, if not also part of the Search Committee, stating that this is an important
issue, but it is secondary to search process.
b.

February Trustee training day Saturday, February 14
Ms. Pergander talked about how valuable this training is and asked Board members to let her know if
interested in participating.

c.

President's Day Legislative Breakfast - Library Board representation
Ms. Pergander outlined the importance of this activity and the impact participants can make.

d.

Strategic Planning meeting for February
Mr. Simon suggested that the Board discuss this agenda item under New Business.

e.

Review of statutes related to recommendation to end Library Trustee fee waiving and possible policy change
Mr. Goldberg said that he had reviewed state statutes and suggested that the legal advice that drove the
decisions made at the previous meeting was perhaps an opinion or interpretation, rather than a strict
translation of the statutes. The definition of the term "compensation" was discussed. Ms. Pergander offered
to have Mr. Goldberg discuss this with the Library Attorney. Mr. Goldberg felt that is not necessary.
Mr. Seth Schriftman noted that the occasional fees incurred by Board members have been so de minimus that
he questioned whether it is worth the Board's attention. Ms. Pergander commented that board member fees
waived have occasionally been over $70 to $100. Board members asked if other libraries have policies
regarding this. Ms. Pergander described the multi-Director discussion about this issue, which had resulted in
the legal opinion she had previously shared with the board. She stated she had learned that we were one of
very few libraries still having this practice of waiving Trustee fines, and so she had brought it to the board's
attention at the prior meeting. Board members discussed the pros and cons of the practice.

MOTION: Mr. Goldberg made a motion to rescind the motion made at the prior meeting regarding disallowing the
waiving of Trustee late fees, and to reinstate the prior practice. The motion was seconded by Mr. Schriftman.
Vote: 4 yes - Ken Abosch, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, and Seth Schriftman.
3 no - Marla Bark Dembitz, Jeff Rivlin, and Ron Simon
The motion was approved. Ms. Pergander is to inform staff that Library Trustees will not incur fees and fines in the
future. Paying for lost materials was mentioned as an exception.

NEW BUSINESS
a. Recommendation from Policy and Human Resources Committees regarding Personnel Handbook revision
approval
Mr. Simon explained that a joint committee meeting was held in the prior week. He noted that the joint
committee members had questioned the guidance provided about a few issues, including reference and
background checks, social media and use of electronics, and those relating to driving a car. He said that the
joint committees recommended that the Board approve the personnel handbook, with the caveat that staff
should provide alternate wording on these issues.
MOTION: Mr. Simon made a motion to approve the personnel handbook (policy) with the caveat that revised
wording should be presented to the Board within the next 60 days; seconded by Mr. Goldberg
Vote: 7 yes - Ken Abosch, Marla Bark Dembitz, Luisa Ellenbogen, Michael Goldberg, Jeff Rivlin, Seth Schriftman, and
Ron Simon. The motion was approved.
b.

Next steps for recruiting new Library Director: Recommendation regarding hiring a recruiter
Mr. Simon reviewed the actions that were taken when the prior Library Director retired. He asked the Board
members to consider whether a recruiter should be hired, and how much of the process would be assumed by
the Board members.
Mr. Ken Abosch provided additional details regarding the steps followed in the last director search. He
reviewed the time taken on each step, and noted that a staff member was utilized as interim director for a few
weeks. He noted that the Board members had developed guiding principles which should be referenced at this
juncture. He emphasized that the Board had run the recruiting process, aided by professionals.
Ms. Pergander provided information about recruiters, and the options for obtaining a recruiter were discussed
and the responsibilities that the recruiter would be expected to assume. The timing of the process was
discussed.
It was decided that the use of a subcommittee should be discussed further and should be added to a future
agenda. The members decided that a meeting should be set for January 31st to discuss the search process.

3)

OLD BUSINESS
None.

4)

NEW BUSINESS
a. Discussion of the revised Employee Handbook, and recommendation to the full Board regarding
approval
Ms. Mary Pergander presented a brief overview of the existing Employee Handbook, which was
developed by The Management Association and reviewed and approved by managers and the
Board. That was several years ago. For this revision, the existing manual was reviewed and the
order changed to a more logical sequencing by Ms. Trisha Steele, then it was sent to a labor
attorney at The Management Association. The attorney revised many sections and added
several new sections. The Library management team has reviewed this and there are still some
questions needing further exploration, but it is Management's hope to have these committees
recommend approval to the full board next week so we can begin to share the changes with
staff.
Ms. Steele presented an overview of the reorganization of the manual, and suggested a means
of proceeding with the Committees' review. Since the first topic for review could have a
financial impact on Ms. Pergander who recently announced her retirement, Ms. Pergander left
the room for this portion of the discussion.
Ms. Steele discussed options for the disposition of unused accrued leave at the end of
employment, both in retirement and other separations. She explained past and current
practices for the Library, other libraries, and the Village. The impact on health insurance and
pension was discussed. It was decided that the policy should be to pay out any unused accrued
leave, such as vacation, holiday, and personal time, in a lump sum at the end of employment.
After Ms. Pergander returned, Ms. Steele continued with the safety-related items, including the
specific incorporation of the term "firearms" into the handbook sections related to safety,
weapons, and violence in the workplace.

�I

Joint Policy and Human Relations Committees
January 14? 2015
For the topics related to medical marijuana, Ms. Steele described The Management Association
recommendation that in spite of the State of Illinois allowing medical uses, since the Federal law
has not changed our polices should still exclude even the State-allowed medical uses of
marijuana for employees who may be under the influence in the workplace. Mr. Ken Abosch
commented that his corporate clients in Colorado are grappling with these same issues. Some
committee members expressed surprise that even employees with a prescription could be
disciplined if they are under the influence during working hours. Ms. Pergander clarified that we
do not do random nor routine drug testing, but we do conduct drug testing for cause.
There were several questions related to the topic of driving for Library business. What if an
employee who has a license does not own a car and therefore does not have vehicle insurance,
and needs to drive a vehicle for Library-related reasons, such as to attend a conference or to
drop off materials at the school. Although rental cars and the library vehicle carry insurance, the
form being recommend requires the employee's insurance number. This may be modified.
Also, Mr. Abosch expressed that the wording and specificity of the section on cell-phones and
two way radios and also the section on driving for library business seem "Big Brother"-ish - very
detailed about how to use such devices which seemed more procedural and prescriptive than
policy-focused.
He expressed concern over the implication that we will discipline employees who violate the
prescribed behaviors on their own time. One sentence refers to phone use while commuting to
and from work, which Mr. Abosch, Mr. Ron Simon, and Ms. Marla Dembitz questioned. Ms.
Steele will review this portion with The Management Association.
The next set of topics related to equal employment opportunities for those who are pregnant or
for employees experiencing certain situations related to military service. The addition of new
information regarding these conditions were discussed, including adding the term "pregnancy"
and related conditions to the rules for harassment, accommodation, and so on.
Ms. Steele described the changing liabilities related to background checks and references, as
they relate to the new handbook language. She also said we plan to add more details such as
specifying the types of criminal background checks and sexual registry checks we conduct, to be
more disclosing. Employees must now specify the type of information we are authorized to
share on their behalf, but in general we are more limited in what we can share than has
sometimes been our past practice. Mr. Simon expressed concern that providing only dates of
service and other limited information does not provide sufficient evidence of performance,
especially for excellent performers who could be implied to have failed with such sparse
information. Ms. Steele said she was also told that failing to disclose a serious performance
issue, such as theft, could make us liable to the next employer. Several committee members
expressed incredulity, and asked Ms. Steele to confirm this through another source. Mr.
Michael Goldberg volunteered to discuss the issue with the labor attorney at The Management
Association and requested that Ms. Steele provide that information for him. Mr. Simon also
requested that Ms. Steele see if there can be a distinction between what is done for letters of
reference vs. reference calls.
For the topic related to vacation leave, Ms. Steele left the room, because the recommended
change directly impacts her (and another staff member). Ms. Pergander explained that the

Page 2 of3

�Joint Policy and Human Relations Committees
January 14, 2015
current vacation leave policy, created many years ago, allocates different amounts of vacation
time to managers based on whether the management position is a librarian department head or
a non-librarian manager. She said that no other libraries we have identified still allocate
vacation in this manner. The committee members agreed with the changed to have all
managers have the same allocation as librarian department heads.
Ms. Steele showed the Board the new chart allocating Personal Days. They recommended
additional changes to clarify that this is an annual allocation of three days, and that this chart
applies only to the first year, based on the month of hire.
Ms. Steele explained that three policies, which are established outside of the personnel policy
such as the Library's Ethics Ordinance, used to appear in the body of the handbook. They are
now set as Appendices in the back, with a brief summary in the main body of the Handbook.
Mr. Simon made a motion to accept this draft Employee Handbook and to recommend approval
by the full board next week, knowing that some language is still being finalized, and
recommending a review again in 60 days of the areas still being discussed. The sections to
review in the next 60 days are:
• 111-9
Reference and Background Checks
• IV-10 Social Media Use
• V-14.2 Electronic and Telephone Equipment Use
• V-14.4 Business Use of Automobile
• V-14.3 Cellular Phones, 2-Way Radios, and Phone Use
Seconded by Mr. Abosch. The motion was approved.
The committee members also suggested that this be listed in the agenda for approval based on
the committee recommendation, and that a copy be made and circulated at the regular board
meeting rather than including a copy of the 80+ page document for all board members in the
board packet.
Mr. Michael Goldberg requested that the statutes related to Board member fees and fines be
included again in the Board packets, and that the topic be added to the regular board meeting
agenda again. Ms. Pergander will follow through.
5)

EXECUTIVE SESSION
None.

6) ADJOURNMENT
At 7:00 p.m., there being no further business, Mr. Goldberg made a motion to adjourn the meeting,
seconded by Ms. Dembitz. The meeting was adjourned.
