Board approves waivers for long‑outstanding lost/damaged items accounts
Summary
Trustees approved waivers for two long-standing unpaid library accounts that had reached the statute of limitations, including one account at roughly $573 and one at $149.
The Board of Trustees approved waivers for two delinquent borrower accounts that had reached the collection statute of limitations, trustees said.
Janie, the library director, presented two waiver requests: one accounting for roughly $573 (21 items, primarily DVDs) and a second for about $149 (10 items). She explained the library uses a collection agency for higher-dollar matters and that the agency’s recovery window ends after a statutory period; these two matters had passed that limit.
A trustee moved to approve the waivers, another trustee seconded the motion, and the board approved the waivers by voice vote; the transcript records multiple “aye” responses but does not list a roll-call tally by name. Janie said the library will note the waivers in its records and that these cases typically involve patrons who have moved or cannot be located.
The waivers clear the amounts from the library’s records; trustees did not authorize additional collection action at the meeting.
