Hinsdale library board adopts 2027 budget scenario three
Summary
The Hinsdale Library Board voted unanimously to adopt budget scenario three for 2027 after Interim Director Sarah Welch presented three options and flagged a pay‑period timing issue that may require Finance Committee correction or use of state aid in May.
The Hinsdale Library Board of Trustees voted to adopt budget scenario three for fiscal year 2027 on Feb. 3, 2026, after Interim Director Sarah Welch presented three options and recommended the third.
Welch told trustees she has identified a pay‑period timing problem in the current budget that could be corrected in May by the Finance Committee or, if necessary, by using available state aid. After discussion, a motion to adopt scenario three was made and seconded and the board recorded the vote as "all ayes." The minutes do not list a numeric tally.
The decision follows Welch's broader operations update, which raised staffing and facility considerations that informed the board's budget deliberations. Welch noted she did not believe anyone was ready to assume the assistant director role at this time, and she announced a new assistant hire (see separate coverage).
The board did not attach additional conditions or amendments to the approved scenario in the minutes. Trustees directed follow‑up on budget timing with the Finance Committee in May as needed.
The board approved the minutes for January at the start of the meeting and adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
