January 31, 2001 Dear Mr. Neinast: I have been asked to respond to your recent letter to Board President, David Swaddling. Because you seem to be attempting to raise a legal question of the source of the Board's and Director's authority to make rules governing the manner of dress required to use a public library, I have forwarded your letter to the Franklin County Prosecutor's Office and requested that he draft a reply. Concering the other questions you raised: 1) Members of the public may address the Board of Trustees at its regularly scheduled meetings. If you wish to do so, please call me at 645-2800 and I will place your name on the agenda. Attached is a list of when meetings are scheduled, however, from time to time, the time and/or place changes and I suggest that you call my office to ascertain when and where a given meeting will be held. 2) Photocopies of the minutes of the Board meeting may be obtained by paying $.25 per page, plus delivery costs. However, there is no information about your request in the minutes. The only discussion that has occurred was a verbal conversation between the Board President and myself. You will be receiving a letter from the County Prosecutor's office shortly. Sincerely, Larry D. Black Director
