SWAN Board Representatives:
I have completed the updated SWAN reserves worksheet that will be part of the Quarterly packet. I caught one error in the budget as well, which I have corrected and included in one file attached. I will provide printed copies at the meeting tomorrow.
You should expect to see Carol Dawe, LINC Executive Director, and Dawne Tortorella, the new MAGIC LLSAP Manager, at your meeting tomorrow. They are interested in meeting the SWAN Board and learning more about how SWAN governance works. The LINC governing group approved the agreement, so Carol would be able to share any news from their meeting last Friday.
See you tomorrow. Just a reminder that Brande has ordered Corner Bakery lunch.

SWAN Board Members:
The Wednesday, August 17th board meeting packet is available for you:
https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/2016-08-17/pa…
This packet is 151 pages long. The bulk of our meeting will focus upon the SWAN-LINC-MAGIC discussion, including the Intergovernmental Agreement (included in its 100 page entirety in the packet) and the Whitepaper for membership. We will also be reviewing our revised FY17 budget for the September 1st Quarterly meeting, and discussing the draft Quarterly agenda. Aaron will be sending you some follow up documentation via a separate email once that is work is completed this weekend but we wanted to get the packet to you ASAP.
Because this is likely to be a lengthy discussion, I will be ordering us lunch for the day from Corner Bakery. If you'd like anything special ordered, please email me by next Monday evening at the latest.
Have a great weekend!

SWAN Board Members:
The negotiations on a final lease ran all the way until the last minute. We now have a lease negotiated and ready for SWAN Board approval.
Should the SWAN Board require some changes to the lease, our attorney Roger Ritzman has suggested a possible resolution for the SWAN Board:
"RESOLVED, I move we authorize our Board President, with input from our Executive Director, to execute the Lease Agreement for 800 Quail Ridge Drive when the Lease Agreement is in a form acceptable to our Board President."
As a reminder: David Seleb will not be in attendance tomorrow.

SWAN Board Members:
The Friday, July 15th board meeting packet is available for you:
https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/2016-07-15/pa…
The packet is 25 pages long. Two agenda items on this packet have exhibits that are not yet finished with attorney review: the SWAN lease (Action Item # 8), and the Memorandum of Understanding for MAGIC/LINC/SWAN/RAILS (Discussion Item #13). If these finalized documents are received in time we will have them available for you via a separate communication. If the lease is not yet finalized by Friday, we can table this action and make it a discussion instead.
We look forward to seeing you this Friday!

Hello SWAN Board:
As we discussed in previous board meetings, in order to prepare for our revised FY17 budget presentation at the September Quarterly meeting it will be best if we hold an August Committee of the Whole meeting to begin to present the information to the membership and address any questions that they will have.
Following the plan for COW meetings being held the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 9:30am, we would be looking at Tuesday, August 9th for our meeting. I will have an Action Item to vote this date into place at our July board meeting, but for the time being please save the date to ensure that we have a quorum.
Thank you,
Brande Overbey

The Friday June 17th meeting packet is now available for you:
https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/2016-06-17/pa…
This meeting packet is 27 pages long. We'll be receiving updates on facilities, futures, and CPL.
