- Terry gave each Trustee a packet of information giving the overall information needed to make a decision on which Integrated Service to choose and whether to have it on site or off site. After much discussion on the best and most economical plan for our library, the board made its’ decision. Marilyn then made a motion to accept the Destiny Resource Management Solution, with the off site management package included, for $2,124 plus $1,000 for yearly system support. Carol seconded this and it was passed unanimously. This decision means there is no need to obtain a new server. Training is included in this package as well.

NEW BUSINESS:
