DISCUSSION ITEMS: Re-Classification: The Board discussed the Re-classification,
which is done every four years. The committee looked at each position in the library

be different. The twelve (12) pay steps have a 3% jump and each pay grade has a

scale.
DISCUSSION ITEMS: Budget 2002: The Board discussed the budget and the
increase in the mill levy. New positions being added, the impact of the re-
classification on the budget and scheduling off desk time for reference librarians

RESOLUTION TO RAISE THE LIBRARY BUDGET
A Resolution expressing the property taxation policy of the Salina Public Library Board
of Trustees with respect to financing the 2002 annual budget of the Salina Public
Library, Saline County, Kansas.
Whereas, budgeting, taxing and service level decisions are the responsibility of
the Salina Public Library; and
Whereas, the residents of Salina are to be aware that the Salina Public Library
budget for FY 2002 may require property taxes to be levied in an amount greater than the
level levied for the FY2001 budget, due to an increase in expenditures and decreases in
other income; now
Therefore, be it resolved by the Salina Public Library Board of Trustees, that it is
our desire to notify the public of the possibility of increased property taxes to finance the
2002 Salina Public Library budget.
Adopted this 19th day of July 2001 by the Salina Public Library Board of

about changing the time the Board meets. She commented that since the Board
already meets on the third Thursday in November and December because of the
holidays, shifting it to the third Thursday could be considered. She would like
suggestions at the next Board meeting. Janice Ostrom also stated that she
appreciated the budget being laid out so it was nice and easy to understand. Other
