Franklin library board authorizes director to approve main-floor carpet up to $20,000, approves routine invoices
Summary
The Franklin Public Library Board approved authorization for the library director to sign a carpet‑replacement quote not to exceed $20,000 and approved routine invoices and minutes. The board emphasized getting multiple contractor quotes and noted capital requests for larger projects will follow city budget timelines.
The Franklin Public Library Board of Trustees on June 22 authorized the library director to sign a contract for replacement of the main-floor carpet up to $20,000, and approved routine invoices and the May 26 meeting minutes.
During the meeting board members discussed soliciting three bids for the carpet work and noted that a firm called Barts had been the lowest-cost installer on a prior job. A motion authorizing the director to sign a quote not to exceed $20,000 was moved, seconded and approved without a recorded roll-call tally in the transcript; the board agreed the director may proceed if the low bid does not exceed the approved cap.
The board also approved packet items including invoice payments for Fund 15 and Fund 16. Invoice totals were read aloud during the meeting but the transcript formatting made the exact figures difficult to parse; the board directed staff to proceed with the routine approvals as presented in the packet. The May 26 meeting minutes were approved; the transcript records one abstention on that vote (Annie) and the motion carried.
Board members said they would continue to follow city purchasing and capital procedures for any project requiring larger funds and reiterated the plan to obtain multiple contractor quotes before awarding work. The board adjourned after routine business and committee reports.
