Meadow officials approve $300 donation to Fillmore City Library

Meadow meeting members voted to donate $300 to the Fillmore City Library after the library requested approximately $1 per resident, meeting participants said.

The donation was proposed and moved by Speaker 1, meeting member, who said, "I'll make a motion to pay them $300. Donate him. Donate to him 300." Speaker 2, Fillmore City Library liaison, seconded the motion. The motion was approved by voice vote with participants answering in the affirmative; no roll-call tally was recorded.

The Fillmore City Library liaison described the library as a small community resource with a range of nonbook items available for checkout. The liaison said, "It's a great library, actually, for our little small community. It's just it's a great place. It's kind of a little fun center for younger kids." The liaison also listed examples of items and programs, saying, "Like, you can check out yard games. You can use the freeze dryer. Like, they've got a freeze Yeah, freeze dryer. They've got oh, like so many things that you can check out. It's pretty amazing."

Meeting members noted the population figure cited in the library's request: "We only have 240 people in the Meadow," one participant said, and the group discussed that the request had asked for roughly one dollar per resident. The liaison mentioned that the library will mark its 100-year anniversary with a celebration planned for April.

The meeting record shows the donation request, the motion to approve $300, a second, and a voice vote in favor; no further formal actions related to the library donation were recorded in the transcript excerpt.

A brief exchange closed the item and the meeting moved on to other business and then adjourned.
