Reports
Budget:
Neville distributed the Shared Technology Services budget for 10/17 thru 1/18 and a summary
of capital reserve expenditures from 10/16 through 1/18. The capital reserve balance as of
1/31/18 is $556,721.20. There is nothing out of the ordinary to date.
TLN Board Meeting:
Morse reported the board approved the router vendor/model change proposed last month.
The 3 year WAN contract starting 7/18 was approved. Proposed training room and lab
purchases were approved. The TLN audit was accepted, with nothing unusual noted.
Symphony Update:
Sirsi completed the 2nd data extract today. John Inman will make necessary corrections to
make it useable for the CARL import.
Page 2 of 3 ExCommMinutesMar2018.doc
Technology Services Update:
McCann asked how widespread the copyright infringement notices were happening. Michelini
reported there were 10 in the last 2 months. For now it’s something the WAN members should
be aware of and take basic mitigating steps as outlined in Michelini’s email to WAN members
sent on 2/27/18.
Unfinished Business
A. TLC/CARL migration C. Morse/A. Neville
Morse reported that the TLN migration web page has been reorganized and material has been
added. The circ map is still in progress. Agency codes have been completed and are being
tested. CARL is not concerned about the implementation timeline. TLN has started publicizing
the MeLCat suspension.
For training, full day classes are 8 hours and half day classes are 4 hours. After discussion it was
decided the full day classes would run from 8:30 to 5:00, with a half hour for lunch. Pletz said
he would work on providing lunch for attendees. Half day classes will run from 8:30 to 12:30
and 1:00 to 5:00.
B. CARL billing formula McCann set up a projector so we could all view and discuss the formulas we were whittling
down to. All formulas reviewed show increases and decrease to costs for various members,
some significant, as there is no correlation between circulation or usage variables to additional
purchased users that is part of the current formula. After much discussion Rutkowski moved
“Ex-Comm adopts a SAS funding formula of 65% base cost, 20% circulation, and 15% item.”
Motion seconded by Dickson. Motion approved (Yes 7, No 0, Absent 2) Morse said that she
and Pletz will talk to libraries with the largest increases.
C. CARL marketing materials A. Dickson
Dickson reported she is getting quotes for pens.
D. SAS Philosophy/Mission A. Dickson
Nothing to report.
E. SAS Incentives/Returning members (on hold pending migration) J. Pletz
Still pending migration.
F. Sister Library program P. McCann/H. Teasdle
Nothing to report.

New Business
A. Authority Control Contract Award recommendation A. Neville
Neville explained that currently Sirsi is contracted to perform MARC record authority control,
but that is no longer an option after migration to CARL. A recommendation from Jim Flury was
distributed and reviewed. Rutkowski moved “The Shared Automation System Executive
Committee recommends The Library Network Board of Trustees award the contract for
Authority File Maintenance and Ongoing Authorities Processing of Bibliographic Records to
Marcive, Inc., 12100 Crownpoint Dr. #160, San Antonio, Texas 78233. First year project cost to
come from Deferred Revenue. Cost for years two and three to be included in the Bibliographic
Database Services Department annual operating budget.” Motion seconded by Teasdle.
Motion approved (Yes 7, No 0, Absent 2)
B. Inkster progress J. Pletz
Inkster is current with SAS bills. TLN has so far made 4 stops, picking up 7 bins with 245 books,
105 being INKS items and 140 being other SAS library items.
Other Items from Committee members
A. Meeting dates for April and May P. McCann
Because of CARL training in April McCann proposed moving the April Ex-Comm meeting to
March 29 and the May meeting to May 10. All were in agreement.
Smith motioned to adjourn meeting at 3:57. Seconded by Rutkowski. Meeting adjourned (Yes
7, No 0, Absent 2).

Discussion of cost off-set options P. McCann
McCann said he had spoken to Rick Rosekrans and confirmed there is enough deferred revenue
to cover the off-set proposal McCann had emailed earlier to Ex-Comm members. Rosekrans
advised the off-set be paid out over three years, rather than all up front.
There was much discussion of how the off-set would be calculated in the coming years and
whether deferred revenue would be available at the time.
Rutkowski moved “The SAS Executive Committee recommends to the TLN Board to use SAS
deferred revenue to off-set costs for all libraries seeing an increase for the 2018-2019 budget
year by crediting member accounts in the 2018-2019 budget year. The calculation for the
credit will be 75% of the ‘18-19 increase as a year 1 off-set, 50% of the ’18-19 increase as a year
2 off-set, and 25% of the ’18-19 increase as a year 3 off-set. To clarify, the off-set is meant to
ease the impact to libraries over 3 years, but the calculation and credit to member accounts will
all take place as of the 2018-2019 budget.” The motion was seconded by Teasdle. Motion
approved (Yes 9, No 0, Absent 0)
McCann, Teasdle, and Dickson volunteered to attempt to meet with directors from libraries
seeing the largest increases before the March 22 SASUG meeting.
McCann will share the new budget formula and cost off-set plan at the March 22 SASUG
meeting.
