At its May 11 meeting the Garden City Public Library Board of Trustees approved a set of budget transfers that move $31,625 into Personal Services – Regular from multiple line items and also added a $100 transfer into Gas and Oil. The board also approved CSEA employee salary increases and part-time/minimum wage increases effective May 31, 2026.
Trustee Mary Maguire moved approval of the transfers and the salary adjustments; Trustee Paul O’Grady seconded both motions and each passed unanimously. Operations Director Courtney Rutt Rosenblatt explained that the additional $100 transfer to Gas and Oil is to set up expenditures for the maintainer’s truck, which is used to source materials and equipment inside and outside the village.
The Abstract of Claims, List No. 26-05 (April), totaling $341,197.08 was approved on the consent calendar. The meeting packet included detailed part-time and regular-employee rate tables: multiple part-time positions received modest hourly increases effective May 31, 2026, and several regular staff received step/increment adjustments on staggered effective dates through the year.
Board members did not debate the transfers at length; motions were approved by voice vote. The board will receive finalized financials for January–April 2026 once adjusting journals and pending transactions are processed.
