    11. CSI Partnership with Columbia Regional Library: .Bob Drainer and Jerry Thompson visited with Daniel Boone Regional Library representatives, Elinor Barrett and Doyne McKenzie, on January 21about the possibility of housing a CSI / AIA reference library in a portion of the new library at Broadway and Garth in Columbia. The meeting was encouraging with good suggestions from the library representatives, but the concept as well as the specific books and the library staff must approve reference materials. The library had been considering a special use reading room, probably on the second floor in the round room on the east end of the building. Ms. Barrett thought that it was a coincidence that we were suggesting a concept that might meet the "special use" requirement that the library was considering. There are at this time four three-foot, double-sided shelving units that are set aside with our CSI / AIA library request in mind. We also discussed the books and reference materials that might be stored. The use of electronic data and access to that data were mentioned. Apparently, the library would provide internet access outlets, but we would have to bring our own laptop computers to retrieve data in the "special use" reading room. Jerry Thompson has compiled a suggested list of reference books and materials that might be stored in the library. Other suggestions or modifications to the list are encouraged.
  1. Old Business
    1. Scott requested that the members review the draft of our Chapters Mission Statement and provide him with some feed back. The missions statement drafted is "Central Missouri Chapter provided to our membership networking, educational and community voluntary service opportunities, as well as, an open forum to discuss/debate ideas, issues and problems affecting the local construction industry. Also, as part of our ideology, we will foster and promote CSI's core purpose to improve the process of creating and sustaining the built environment."
    2. There was no major discussion concerning the Bylaws.
