SWAN Board,
The vote threshold of 64 was crossed midday Wednesday. I would like to have the Oct 12th SWAN Board Special Meeting have an action item to ratify this vote. On Monday, I shared a draft agenda for the Oct 12th meeting with Ted and Stacy, but it did not include an action item for Green Hills. The vote went so fast!
Joseph Miller and our SirsiDynix project manager are eager to get started, so I will sign off on the SirsiDynix project quotations for the one-time migration costs. The Green Hills board of trustees signed the SWAN agreement last week, so that requirement is complete.
P.S. We got our reimbursement check from Chicago Public Library Wednesday too!

SWAN Board,
The threshold of 65 in favor votes was reached today, with 9 against, and 22 non-votes. The SWAN Board can take action to ratify the vote tomorrow and it is on the agenda. This will set the stage for membership vote on Monday to accept the Green Hills Public Library District for full membership.
This approval took two weeks with several reminders, and a few direct appeals today with some of the directors today who had not voted.

SWAN Board Members:
The Friday, September 21st board meeting packet is now available for you:
https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/2018-09-21/pa…
This month's packet is 36 pages long. The agenda is ordered to have Curtis Chang present the CWR assessment, identity, vision, and mission in person at the meeting. We will have regular action items after that presentation.
To clarify: we are not intending to have an all-day meeting. Curtis has asked to present his findings to the SWAN management team in the afternoon.
