Motion 2022-49. Rich Miles moved that we approve the November 30, 2022, Treasurer’s Report as submitted. Lynne Hunter seconded. Motion carried.
Kim Thurman presented the need to set up a fund and/or policy for members who are having a difficult time paying their membership dues. It was agreed by the Board that they would look into setting up such a procedure after the first of the year.
NEW BUSINESS
Volunteer Luncheon review. Ann Baraker reviewed the suggested schedule for the Volunteer Luncheon with Board members. It is believed that all is under control. It will be exciting to have an “in-person” luncheon with our volunteers once again.
COVID County risk level. Lynne Hunter has been following the Jackson County COVID levels for the Board. It was agreed that since our levels have remained at the low/medium levels, we would not require masks of anyone at this time. Headcount restrictions for in-library gatherings that were previously imposed by the Board are also lifted at this time. This is always subject to review, and subject to a possible CDC-dictated decision to limit public exposure in the future.
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for class collaboration. Pat Jenkins reported that a few Societies have signed this and is expecting more signed copies to come in very shortly. Kim will be conducting Zoom training for the OrCal members on January 12. The first OrCal sponsored class will be held on January 19.
