Hello Facilities Committee,
As outlined in yesterday's meeting, our "message to staff/board/membership" can be summarized as follows (let us know if you see anything to add to this list, please)-
Plan for communicating to SWAN membership verbal update:
* Use the March 3 Quarterly meeting to have Anne and Kristina provide an update on activities
* Share the WFH two week experiment
* Budget scenarios are being crafted, but not ready
* Committee is meeting 3/8
* The next update to membership would be Quarterly 6/3 (or sooner, via SWANcom/special meeting if we need to move forward more quickly?)
SWAN staff meeting update:
* Aaron is working on budget scenario that will include a new facility with a hybrid WFH; there will be membership fees that are a low and a high to reflect full existing RAILS support and what it looks like with no RAILS support
* Clarify with staff their preference for Burr Ridge vs. new space
* We will outline our concerns about the existing Burr Ridge facility; it will not be a list of items that require RAILS answers, but serve as a reminder of what those issues are for our Board and membership
* Committee is meeting 3/8, which after reviewing the budget will decide upon a recommendation to the SWAN Board
* SWAN Board meeting is 3/18
RAILS Leadership Team email update:
* Share the WFH experiment results
* Aaron is working on budget that will include a new facility with a hybrid WFH; there will be membership fees that are a low and a high to reflect full existing RAILS support and what it looks like with no RAILS support [same as staff update]
* Committee is meeting 3/8, which after reviewing the budget will decide upon a recommendation to the SWAN Board
* SWAN Board meeting is 3/18
Thank you all for your thoughtful input and discussion yesterday!

SWAN Board Members:
The Friday 2/19 meeting packet is now available for you:
https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/2016-02-19/pa…
The meeting packet is 62 pages long. Much of the length is from our FY17 budget draft, by-laws (yearly review), and our updated 401(a) retirement plan agreement from ICMA. Though we are covering a lot in this meeting, we do not anticipate that it will go into the lunch hour (most if it is just review and approval of documents).
We look forward to seeing you on Friday!
