2/9/2009 Minutes, Oro Valley Public Library Review Committee 2
• Committee discussed the need for a comparison between the Pima County and
Town of Oro Valley Library systems.
• Committee requested that Dick Johnson be invited to speak on the history of the
library and why the library was an affiliate of Pima County Library System.
• Committee member Innes discussed his fact-finding interview, and indicated he
would provide his list of questions for the committee to use as a guide.
• Committee discussed the alternatives of forming subcommittees or making
assignments, and it was agreed that assignments were preferable, where two to
four members would work on an assignment together and report on their
progress as they move through the process. It was further decided that sub-
committees would be considered on a topic-by-topic basis.
• Committee discussed whether fact-finding by interviews or fact-finding by library
staff presentations was best course of action, and it was decided that a four-
person fact-finding interview assignment would be made. The four persons
assigned were Mr. Musolf, Ms. Kuennemeier, Mr. Innes, and Ms. Pastryk; they
will conduct interviews and report back to the committee.
• Committee decided that meetings would be held on Mondays, from 5:30 p.m. to
7:30 p.m., beginning on February 23, 2009.
