KLA Council Meeting (via Elluminate) – Jan. 20, 2011 – Highlights
(1) 2nd Quarter Financial Report – Cynthia Berner-Harris, Treasurer
(1) President’s Report – Emily Sitz
(1) Moving annual conference to a Fall calendar
I voted ‘Yes.’ Motion passed. KLA will move to a fall conference in 2013, because we are already under contract for 2012 in Wichita. My apologies for not reaching out to the PLS membership sooner on this issue. I anticipated that we would have the opportunity to poll PLS membership with the survey we have planned for next month before a decision would be made.
(1) Election procedure – will use Avectra to distribute ballots; members will download ballot, vote and send back via email attachment. Nominating committee will certify results.
(1) Nominating committee slate for 2011 election:
(2) Best Small Library Program, Service or Activity – new annual award; information to be shared at conference for the first award to be bestowed at 2012 conference
(3) KPLACE Roundtable given notice for possible disbanding. Bylaws note that if a section or roundtable fall below a minimum membership it may be disbanded. KLA plans to give notice to sections and roundtables in jeopardy to give them the opportunity to recruit additional members.
(4) Conference report – Royce Kitts
(5) Governmental Affairs – Roger Carswell
Here is our section finance report for FY 2010. We will be receiving updates on a quarterly basis and I will forward them. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.
Ken Werne, PLS Chair
Well, I have finally taken the time to figure out how to upload files on a WordPress post. Here are the documents shared at the KLA Membership Meeting earlier this month. Sorry for the delay. Please let me know if you have any questions and I can find answers for your.
Ken Werne, PLS Chair
Greetings!
On behalf of our Membership Committee Chair Ken Werne, I would like to call your attention to the two joint membership programs in which KLA is participating. Students can join ALA and KLA for $35. Support staff can join ALA and KLA for $65.
ALA administers the program although the membership fees are evenly split between ALA and KLA. Individuals join through ALA and then ALA sends KLA a monthly roster of new members and a check. It really is a great deal for our members and for our organization. Our brochures are available for downloading at

Please help spread the work through your sections and roundtables, committees, etc!
Thanks, Emily
Even with a little technical difficulty at my end, I managed to be present at almost the whole meeting. Total attendees for the meeting: 32
Cynthia Berner Harris, Treasurer’s reports:
• Budget review 2009-2010 vs. 2010-2011
• Fiscal Year 2010 Budget Report – final deficit $7,727.34
• KLA and Section and Roundtable Assets Report
o all assets reside in the same checking account; transactions will not be going back and forth between KLA and sections and roundtables in the future to avoid some of the confusion that occurred in the past.
o Sections and roundtables can receive detailed account reports on a periodic basis. I plan to start with a request for quarterly reports for PLS.
o 60-day operating reserve required
• Fiscal Year 2011 Budget
Emily Sitz gave a report and her observations on the 2010 Conference.
Due to the Association’s current condition, rather than try to produce a strategic plan this year, Emily Sitz has formed three study teams to get KLA on a stronger footing.
• Organization Model – Rob Banks, Chair
• Finance – Cynthia Berner Harris, Chair
• Benefits of Membership – Cindi Hickey, Chair
Royce Kitts introduced the new KLA web site at www.kslibassoc.org/home
Advocacy – hope to expand beyond legislative day and include some grassroots work with local government, local bodies. See results of Snapshot Day at www.snapshotkansas.com
Royce Kitts gave a brief report on 2011 Conference – will be held at Topeka Capitol Plaza Hotel, April 6-8, 2011. He noted technology costs will be rolled into the meal minimum, which will make it much easier to avoid any out-of-pocket costs.
ALA Councilor – Rob Banks – watch for his updates on his blog at www.tscpl.org/kalac. Activity tends to increase just before, during and just after ALA Annual and Midwinter.
As soon as I figure out how to attach documents or find somewhere to park documents so that you can access them, I will post the reports mentioned above.
Let me know if you have any questions.
