Clerk says library referendum returns to Nov. 5 ballot; village website coming online
Summary
Clerk Laura Cassidy-Hatchet told trustees the village website is being updated and that the library referendum is again on the Nov. 5 ballot, which would preserve the library tax and increase operating funds if it passes, but would cut services if it fails.
Clerk Laura Cassidy-Hatchet reported during the Oct. 8 meeting that the village website is still under construction and "will hopefully be up and running next week." She also notified trustees that the Library Referendum has been placed on the Nov. 5 ballot.
According to the clerk's statement, passage of the referendum would keep the library tax at its current rate while increasing operating funds to support necessary maintenance, remodel the children's department and build reserves for upcoming building costs. She said that if the referendum fails there would be a reduction of programs, books and services. The minutes record that "currently more than 10% of our residents have current library cards." No public comment or additional detail on ballot language or expected costs was recorded in the minutes.
The minutes do not list funding amounts or projected revenue; the clerk's report framed likely operational impacts rather than exact budget figures.
