Library reports 3% county pay adjustment and remaining committed funds of roughly $150,000

Miss Polly briefed trustees on the library's fiscal-year personnel and committed-fund status. She said the county approved approximately a 3% increase across the board instead of the 5% the library had requested; some full-time staff received slightly higher increases (about 3.2%–3.5%) because increases were balanced across positions. Part-time pay did not receive an additional $15 increment the library had sought; the transcript records that part-time pay was increased (the speaker's enunciation of the figure was unclear in the recording). The committee reported about $150,000 remains in committed funds.
