Library director wins board approval to buy accessible service counter using SLFRF funds
Summary
The Village Board approved using State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds to buy a new, accessibility-compliant service counter for the North Fond du Lac Library, authorizing up to $16,000 for the purchase and directing staff to finalize installation details with the vendor.
Library Director Heather Wegner presented a proposal for a new service counter at the North Fond du Lac Library designed to meet accessibility needs and shared a drawing of the plan. Administrator Nick Leonard advised that installation could be done by the contractor rather than public works.
Trustee Mike Will moved to approve purchase of the desk using State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) for up to $16,000; Trustee Ann Price seconded. The motion passed on a 5–0 vote. Trustees asked staff to firm up installation costs and discuss installation responsibilities with the vendor before proceeding.
Why it matters: The board’s use of SLFRF money for the project channels federal pandemic-recovery dollars to a local accessibility improvement. The board approved the purchase amount and left final installation logistics to staff and the vendor.
Next steps: Staff will obtain final installation cost details from the vendor and report back to the board; the transcript does not specify the contractor chosen or an installation timeline.
