Library approves May bills totalling $6,333.90, OKs $312 refund and advances FY26–27 budget draft
Summary
The board approved May bills ($6,333.90) after correcting a duplicate $250 entry, granted a $312 refund request for a Microsoft class, reviewed payroll and billing details, and received the first draft of the FY2026–27 budget.
The Chadron Public Library Board approved May 2026 bills totaling $6,333.90 at its June 2 meeting after staff removed a duplicated $250 line item. Board President Heather Crofutt moved to approve the bills; Robert Wahlstrom seconded and the motion carried with Crofutt, Wahlstrom and John Coates voting yes.
In new business the board approved a request from Carl Spicher for a $312 refund for costs related to Microsoft Office Specialist certification exams. Crofutt moved to approve the refund; John Coates seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
Board members reviewed payroll summaries for part-time staff (payroll entries in May show combined wages for part-time employees totaling $3,518.12 for one pay period and $1,828.62 for another in the packet) and a detailed vendor invoice list for May that staff provided for budget work. The board received the first draft of the FY26–27 library budget and scheduled continued review as part of upcoming meetings; the board also retains the option to go into executive session under Neb. Rev. Stat. §84-1410 for personnel or other permitted matters.
Why it matters: Routine financial approvals and budget drafting are part of the library’s fiscal stewardship; the board corrected an invoicing error, approved a consumer refund, and continued work on the coming year’s budget.
Next steps: staff will continue to refine the FY26–27 budget and present updates at future meetings; the board’s next regular meeting is July 7, 2026.
