procedure includes writing a letter to the Mayor and then having the City Council and

letter has been written requesting a raise for Gordon. A draft letter was read and
several suggestions were made which will be incorporated into the letter. There will be
a Finance Committee meeting on February 17 at 4:00 p.m. at the Council to review the
FY 1999-2000 draft budget.
OLD BUSINESS
Stamps: Stamps are now available at the front desk. Maximum of 5 per person, per

digital capacity at this time. It appears there would be no extra charge.

after this meeting.
Friends Annual Meeting: Leslee reported that only 8 people were in attendance. The
1998 Annual Report was read and new by-laws passed. Over $1,000 in donations
have been generated by the Annual Meeting letter.
NEW BUSINESS
Red Cross: Cynthia asked Leslee if there had been any interest in the Red Cross AED
(automatic defibrillation). Leslee responded that the staff seems hesitant to receive
training because if something happened s/he would have to administer medical care
and that makes them nervous. It may be revisited later.
