On Jan. 8 the Sterling Public Library Board of Directors approved a $115,550 bottom-line budget, a motion made by Committee member Lee Shippee and seconded by Jan Cooper; the meeting record states "All in favor." The action was taken during the New Business portion of the board's regular meeting at Sterling Public Library.
The budget includes a staff wage schedule recorded in the meeting minutes. The minutes list the librarian's pay as $1,044.62 for a two-week pay period and an assistant librarian rate of $25.90 per hour. Other entries in the published schedule include M. Mortimer at $20.62/hour; S. Savoie at $20.62/hour; S. Tetreault at $19.68/hour; T. Adams at $18.00/hour; a janitor at $275 per month; and a clothing bank position at $16.94/hour. The minutes do not provide additional context such as whether the wages reflect new increases, step changes, or the effective date.
Committee member Lee Shippee moved the budget figure on the board floor; Jan Cooper seconded and the minutes record unanimous consent. The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or any detailed debate about line-item changes. The board's meeting minutes show the wage schedule immediately following the budget motion as part of the adopted financial outline.
Next steps were not specified in the meeting record: the minutes do not list a follow-up schedule for implementing the wage rates, nor do they specify funding sources beyond the board's adopted bottom-line figure. Any administrative steps to disburse pay changes or to file budget documents with municipal authorities are not recorded in the transcript.
