ROLL CALL AND CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order at 7 p.m., in the Library Boardroom, 920 Waukegan Road, Deerfield, IL by Committee Chair Ron Simon Present Board members: Ron Simon, Michael Goldberg, and Maureen Wener Staff: Library Director Amy Falasz-Peterson 2. OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE BOARD, and CORRESPONDENCE No request to address the Board. 3. OLD BUSINESS a. Discussion of possible honorees for Giving Tree Mr. Simon opened the discussion regarding the document that Ms. Judy Hoffman, Outreach Coordinator, created. This document included possible names to include in the inaugural leaves. Mr. Simon pointed out that the point of having a tree was for growth and the hope of the committee is that it will continue to grow. Therefore, it might not be totally necessary to have the tree leaves filled up right away. Ms. Maureen Wener stated that she thinks it's important to be consistent and therefore, all the people included on the tree leaves should have a nomination form on file. Mr. Mike Goldberg suggested that staff "interview" nominees and that interview becomes part of the historical information. Mr. Goldberg felt it was important to have some information as to why the people were being honored. Mr. Goldberg also stated that it was perfectly acceptable to have four names in the first round that were noncontroversial and then the process of nomination and honoring individuals will happen organically. Mr. Simon reminded the committee that this was started as a way to honor present and future boards. It wasn't necessarily meant to honor individuals who had contributed in the past. In many instances, those individuals have already been honored with a plaque on the basement wall. Ms. Amy Falasz-Peterson stated that Ms. Hoffman will create a spreadsheet with the names, terms of service, and possible offices for past board members. She will be working on this in August, which is a typically slow month for her. Ms. Wener asked Ms. Falasz-Peterson to encourage staff participation and nomination. Ms. Falasz-Peterson will discuss this at the August staff meeting. Mr. Simon will report at the July meeting. Mr. Simon asked committee members and library staff to begin researching and submitting the appropriate nomination forms. 4. ADJOURNMENT At 7:50 p.m., there being no further business, Mr. Simon adjourned the committee meeting.

Ms. Falasz-Peterson explained that the consultant was interested in getting the survey process started and is planning to meet with the Board members after some information is gathered. The Board members discussed some of the survey questions and strategic planning processes. Mr. Abosch suggested that the focus stay on the goals of a strategic plan.

OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE BOARD, and CORRESPONDENCE No request to address the Board. 3. OLD BUSINESS a. Strategic Planning Proposal Review and Approval of Recommended Consultant Mr. Simon welcomed the Board and Guests. He reviewed the Library's Strategic planning process so far. He reiterated that the Board is most concerned about the most effective way to collect data for both users and non-users. Mr. Abosch reminded the Board that they had undergone a comprehensive planning process years ago. Ms. Fletcher and Mr. Hammond introduced themselves and spoke to the methodology they have used with other libraries. They explained the short telephone survey and in-house library survey. They partner with a local firm, Smith Research, to do a telephone survey and would utilize library staff at various times of the day to pass out the in-house library survey. Mr. Simon asked Ms. Fletcher for her philosophy on where the Library should spent their time and money. Ms. Fletcher indicated that she believed a combination of the in-house surveys and sample phone survey would result in the best information. Mr. Abosch asked if it was an acceptable practice to base the plan primarily on the patron responses. Mr. Hammond indicated that the library patrons are our constituents and that was perfectly acceptable to ask for their input. Mr. Goldberg asked if there is a balanced sample for the people who respond to the phone survey. Mr. Hammond indicated that it would be a representative sample by age and gender of Deerfield. Mr. Simon asked if there was significantly more data uncovered if the Board chose option 4 or 5. Mr. Hammond indicated that there wasn't. The telephone survey in option #3 is brief, asking survey respondents if they use the library, if yes, how frequently and overall satisfaction, if not, why they don't use the library. The in-house library survey is more in-depth and covers the same topics. Ms. Wener asked if there would be any PR promoting the survey. Ms. Fletcher indicated that the library staff would work with her to promote participation in the survey. Ms. Wener asked if there was going to a series of questions focused on teens and Ms. Fletcher indicated that there was not. Ms. Wener asked how they'd reach online only users. Mr. Hammond indicated that in their previous experiences, they found that most people who use online only resources also come into the library. Page 1 of 2 �Deerfield Public Library Board of Trustees Special Meeting Minutes January 30; 2016 Mr. Handler asked what the margin of error and confidence interval was. Mr. Hammond indicated that with a 200 person sample, the margin of error is +/- 7 points. At 10:50 a.m., Ms. Fletcher and Mr. Hammond left the meeting. The Library board then discussed and deliberated the presentation from Ms. Fletcher and Mr. Hammond.
