The Board considered establishing a permanent part time {30 hours) Librarian position <br />to staff the Cybrary in the Carrboro Century Center. <br />Commissioner Gordon said that she thought this was part of the budget process. The <br />agenda abstract says that this was already approved. She thought it was referred back to the <br />task force. <br />Chair Jacobs said that the minutes say, "and to direct staff to apply funds already <br />designated for the operation of the Cybrary." This includes money for the position to staff the <br />Cybrary. <br />Commissioner Gordan said that she asked that all positions be listed. She asked that, in <br />the future, that it be made overt when they are approving a position, because she thought this <br />had yet to be approved. She does not think the discussion covered this. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Brown to <br />approve establishing the permanent part-time {30 hours) Librarian position effective June 8, <br />2004 to staff the Cybrary. <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />w.
