Chair reports library budget approved; Victor Fisher wins library board seat
Summary
At the same May 19 meeting, voters passed the library budget and elected Victor Fisher to the library board; the Chair recorded a motion to accept the election inspector's report before moving on.
The Chair reported that Proposition 3, the Plainview-Old Bethpage library budget, passed with 1,659 yes votes and 552 no votes (about 75% yes) on May 19. The election inspector's tally for the library board trustee showed Victor Fisher with 1,685 votes and 44 write-ins.
After the inspector's report, the Chair asked for a motion to accept the library results; a motion and second were recorded (mover: Debbie; second: Jared) and the Chair called for those in favor. The Chair then congratulated the library and the community, and acknowledged the trustee result.
Why it matters: Approval of the library budget authorizes spending for the library's operations for the coming year and confirms trustee leadership for governance oversight.
What's next: The Chair closed the budget/election portion of the agenda and made general closing remarks thanking voters; winners for a separate student vote (guest chef) will be announced in the elementary schools the following day.
