Board approves minutes, invoices, budget and adjourns; scheduling and open-house timing discussed
Summary
The board approved minutes from November, the November invoice schedule (with account-label corrections to be made), the budget report, and a Friends-funded shelving purchase; members discussed moving the next meeting to Jan. 26 and tentatively planned a Feb. 7 open house pending renovation completion.
At the start of the meeting an unidentified board member moved to approve the November minutes; the motion was seconded and the board responded in the affirmative. The director reviewed the schedule of invoices and noted vendor names are now visible; board members observed some Amazon purchases were assigned to incorrect account codes (for example, library electricity or wages). Tom said he would review account coding with Mark and correct the accounts, and a motion to approve the invoices was made with amendments to apply the correct fund numbers.
The director presented the budget report and said totals were "valid" and the library will have carryover to spend in January and February because some orders and subscriptions could not be processed earlier; the budget report was approved by voice vote. The board also approved a Friends-funded shelving purchase and later moved to adjourn.
Calendar: the board discussed conflicts with city council and school board meetings and tentatively set the next meeting for Jan. 26; members noted a planned open house for Feb. 7 would depend on renovation completion and contractor confirmation.
