9.B.a <br />July 16, 2018 <br />Mr. Michael Lamar, City Manager <br />City of Prescott <br />201 S. Cortez <br />Prescott, AZ 86303 <br />Michael, <br />The consensus of the Library Advisory Board is that the library meeting room <br />charges be rescinded (see 5/16/18 LAB minutes). <br />This consensus is based on information provided by the Library Director stating <br />that there has been a 43% decrease in use of the meeting rooms after fees were <br />implemented; and the approximate cost of $5800 for FY2017 & 2018 in time <br />spent to collect the fees was $1400 more than the rental amount collected (see <br />2/21/18 LAB minutes). <br />We discussed arguments for and against meeting room fee charges. It's really a <br />"no win" situation when we promote the library as a Free Library (opinion). <br />Jerr <br />Libra <br />Chairman <br />sory Board <br />Cc: Roger Saft <br />Library Director <br />Attachment: Library Advisory Board Meeting for Room Fees Recommendation (2106 : Library Meeting Room Fees) <br />Packet Pg. 110 <br />
