The Franklin Public Library Board of Trustees on Nov. 24 approved the Oct. 27 minutes and voted to pay vouchers for Fund 15 ($20,711.12) and Fund 16 ($3,516.74).

During the meeting, board member Alan Alexandrovich presented the library’s financial report and said year-to-date revenues were 97.47% of the budget while expenditures were 82.8%. He noted the report reflects through October — 83.29% of the fiscal year — and described corrections made to accounting entries, including removing a $10,000 landfill posting and adding missing allocations for insurance and interdepartment charges.

“We are in — we have gone through October, which is 83.29% of the year,” Alexandrovich said while summarizing revenues and expenditures.

Trustees asked about the library’s credit-card procedures after recent city-level policy changes. Staff clarified the library maintains its own credit-card policy and uses a local account for some purchases; the library’s summary showed $3,009.29 in credit-card charges for the period reviewed.
