Green Hills Approval Vote Passed
by Aaron Skog 27 Sep '18

27 Sep '18

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!

Membership Vote on Joining Fee Resolution Passed
by Aaron Skog 20 Sep '18

20 Sep '18

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.
