Board approves December and January vouchers, and amends 2025 budget for reciprocal borrowing
Summary
Trustees approved minutes, multiple fund vouchers for December and January and a budget amendment increasing reciprocal borrowing revenue in fund 15 to $64,117; various fund totals and janitorial contracting discussions were recorded.
At its Jan. 27 meeting the Franklin Public Library Board approved the Dec. 23, 2024 minutes and voted to accept multiple voucher and invoice bundles for December 2024 and January 2025 across library funds.
Trustees reviewed invoices from fund 15 (materials and operating) and fund 16 (programs) and approved payments as presented. Fund 15 payments reviewed included amounts for vendors such as Baker & Taylor; a January fund‑15 invoice total of $11,416.80 was approved. Fund 16 invoices for January of $1,520.85 were approved. In an earlier set, the board approved December fund 15 and 16 totals discussed in the meeting.
The board also approved a budget amendment to the 2025 library budget to adjust fund 15, GL number 15.000.4458 (library reciprocal borrowing) from the placeholder amount used during budget development up to $64,117, reflecting higher-than-expected reciprocal borrowing revenue. Terry Barris noted a reciprocal borrowing deposit of $59,558 would be received in February and that funds were already deposited per the treasurer’s report.
Separately, trustees discussed janitorial services; the library is conducting interviews and has been operating month-to-month with the current contractor while exploring bringing janitorial services in-house to save about $10,000 per year. The board approved the voucher motions and the budget amendment.
