Staff suggested that the Commission select agenda topics at this time so that the items could be forwarded to the City Clerk for inclusion in the Council's upcoming mail. Commissioner Ceppos suggested that next year the Commission should make sure to request that a meeting with the Council be held earlier than June, perhaps January or February, so that the meeting would not occur after the Council's budget proceedings. The group agreed on this and was so noted for the agenda. Items for the Joint Meeting agenda were then generated bythe group: 1.

It will meet four times a year with the first meeting likely to be held in October.

They discussed the need for the library to be included as an integral part of the Youth Services Plan and that it was noticeably missing mention of the Library as a participant. It was also brought up that the City has a trailer for the 2 "Friends of the Library." Before they ask the school to give up the maintenance yard, other ideas are being considered. Sally is confident that there will be alternate locations to place the trailer (behind Oak St. school's playing fields, for example). Sally will contact Councilmember Tucker about the Youth Services Plan as encouraged by the Commission. vii. ~eports Jan~os Yes, Deputy County Librarian: Reported she'd hired (yes, you heard it) 13 new librarians and there were two more to go.

The next JPA meeting is on June 22 in the City of Cupertino from i - 4 p.m. in the Children's Story Room of the Community Library. The meeting is open to anyone who would like to attend. The topic will be how the budget process works in the Library. There will be committees that will help present this information throughout the year (ex: Finance Committee). County is very excited about all the changes going on with staffing and CD ROM on the way, etc. On a side note, Chair Towse mentioned that she would like Sue Lick at Saratoga News to cover the Library Foundation and other activities. Staff Britton noted that she could pass along the story idea for the fall issue of the Saratogan as well for more coverage. Dolly Barnes, Community Librarian: Noted that the Saratoga Library's professional staff is all set up. Vicky Kaleikau will be in charge of Adult Reference; Diana Colby will be Children's Services Supervisor, and, Peggy Baker will be helping in the Children's Section. The former six part-time people have been helping with circulation services; she will hire five of the six since five have either been promoted or left and she is currently recruiting for library pages (16 years and older at $5.90/hour).

Commissioners Grantham and McLaughlin noted that the hours have increased by 50% without staff increasing to the same degree and that is a significant point. Matthew at the Saratoga News should highlight this in the upcoming focus article on the Library. Periodicals will get out on time now! Also, volunteers have decided that Monday and Tuesday are the best days for them to come in and get work done. Sally Towse, Chair: Reported that she spoke to two former Commissioners to see about having a pot luck again.

She also noted that the City sent a letter out to all Commissioners to consider participation in an all-day training session set for June 16, 1995 on the "Collaborative Community" and for members to seriously consider attending. VXIX. Oral and Written Co~unication A. T~poraz7 Comaission Staffing: Temporary staff Britton asked the group about their preference for future staffing given that June and July would leave them without staff. The group decided to hold a quick debriefing meeting on June 28th to go over the joint meeting discussions from June 27 and that there would be no meeting scheduled for July (summer recess). The August meeting would be staffed by Irene Jacobs at that time.

Even though there was no opposition to the nomination, six senator's rose to praise Governor Wilson's appointment of Dr. Starr as head of the 145 year-old State Ialnary, beginning with the comment by Senate President Pro-Tempore Bill Lockyer that "the Governor could not have found a more qualified person anywhere on the planet to be State Librarian." Senator Mike Thompson described Starr as an enthusiastic advocate for the State's libraries who "seemingly has visited every public library in the State since he got the job." Starr, a renowned author, historian, and former City Librarim of San Francisco, assumed office in September, subject to Senate confirmation. He is best known for his acclaimed four volumes on the social and cultural history of California called "Americans and the California Dream." At his confirmation hearing before the Senate Rules Committee in March, Starr said that being appointed State L~rarian of California 'represents a culmination of all that I have wanted to do with my life." He described his past seven months in office as "exhilarating," and expressed gratitude for "a chance to pay back to the State much of which has been given to me." When asked to comment on his f'mal confirmation, Starr said 'I was deeply touched, not only by the 34-0 vote, but by the many expressions of individual Senators of support for me as State Librarian, ~ more importantly, support for the California State Library as an important institution. I take their praise and their overwhelming vote of approval as an honor belonging to the entire staff. As a community, we rise or fall together. It is my goal to assist the staff in what I know to be its abiding goal -- excellence of service to government, libraries, and the people of California.' A graduate of the University of San Francisco, Starr holds an MA and Ph.D. from Harvard University in English and American Literalure, and the Master of Library Science degree from the University of California, Berkeley. He is a member of the Society of American Historians, the American Antiquarian Society, and a recipient of the Gold Medal of the Commonwealth Club of California, and a Guggenheim Fellowship.
