Library trustees approve $578 annual glycol service contract for boilers
Summary
The Blackstone Board of Library Trustees approved a $578 contract for annual cold-weather glycol checks and boiler visits to be paid from the library operating account. The board seconded and voice-voted the motion; the chair instructed staff to have the contract signed by Mr. Lovett.
The Blackstone Board of Library Trustees voted on Aug. 12, 2024, to allocate $578 from the library's operating account to hire Gurney for annual cold-weather glycol checks and three service visits to the boilers.
Trustees discussed that the fee represents a $23 increase over last year and that the inspection and service agreement has sometimes been put to a vote in prior years. A trustee moved to approve the contract, another trustee seconded, and the board voice-voted in favor; the chair asked Director Lisa Cheever to have the signed contract delivered to Mr. Lovett for execution.
The director and trustees noted the payment will come from the library operating account and that the vendor will perform three cold-weather visits. No formal roll-call vote tally was recorded in the transcript; the board's approval was recorded by a voice vote with "aye" called.
Next steps: the director will process the contract for signature by Mr. Lovett and ensure the operating budget records the $578 expense in FY25.
