NOTE: Minutes posted on the Wiki are always unofficial. Schedules for upcoming presentations are always tentative. (Some more tentative than others!)
SUMMARY: This is where we consider any additions, deletions, sequence, or other changes to sequence of items in the prepared agenda.
* HISTORY: * We consider changes prior to all reviews, planning and OLD BUSINESS items * by jumping ahead, then back, without altering agenda layout. * Do not altering agenda layout, during current meeting. * We will jump to *Old Business* items then back to usual sequence. * We will jump to *New Business* section, create new item, consider, then jump * back to usual sequence. * By not altering agenda layout, it is easier to build next month's agenda. * Moving a previous item out of sequence made editing difficult.

* LEGEND: * Greyed out areas indicate corrections or never previously reported counts. * xxx - numbers not recorded. * ??? - Future Numbers. * Stopped counting general Saint Louis County Library events in May 2016. * Re-counted April 2016 without library events. * Count of calendar entries for May is down from previous months. No explanation is given. * Count of calendar entries for March 2020 misleading because of * Limited maintenance effort for March 2020 because CORONAVIRUS-19 self-isolation effects. * Started counting **moved** and **delayed** items in April 2020 as considered being useful. * Improvements in Google Calendar feature limits to five days processing at at time, takes * about 10 times as long to perform counting. Much more tedious. * Five day limitation "improvement" gone, no longer takes so much longer to count.
