At its Sept. 9 meeting the Urbana Free Library Board of Trustees approved the consent agenda, a $13,657.24 Ameren invoice and a FY 2026 budget amendment adding $10,000 in donations to be split evenly for adult and children’s book prizes.
The Urbana Free Library Board of Trustees voted to approve the consent agenda, to pay an Ameren invoice of $13,657.24 and to adopt a FY 2026 budget amendment adding $10,000 in donations for book prizes at its Sept. 9 meeting.
Nut graf: The three board actions were approved without recorded opposition; the budget amendment will allocate $5,000 each to adult and children's book prizes, and staff will record and implement the change in the FY '26 budget.
The consent agenda, which included the Aug. 12 board meeting minutes, payrolls (08/22/2025 payroll $143,375.63; 09/05/2025 payroll $149,890.68) and bills for multiple dates (totals listed during the meeting), was passed after no items were removed for separate consideration.
Individual action items recorded on the agenda were:

- FY 2026 budget amendment: staff requested adding $10,000 in donations previously not included in the budget; the board approved allocating $5,000 to adult book prizes and $5,000 to children's book prizes.
Ending: Board minutes will record the motions and approvals. No further budget or fiscal discussion was recorded beyond trustee questions about the Ameren increase compared with prior months.
