Library book budget raised to $7,000; reimbursements between accounts questioned
Summary
Committee increased the library books line to $7,000 after learning the library had already spent $5,200, reduced library miscellaneous to $8,000, set the history room at $550, and noted confusion about reimbursement processes between library and history room accounts.
Committee members adjusted several library-related budget lines after reviewing recent spending. They raised the library books line to $7,000 (the library had already spent $5,200), reduced library miscellaneous to $8,000 to offset the increase, and set the history room budget at $550 based on past patterns.
Members also flagged confusion about reimbursement practices between the history room funds and library accounts and asked staff to clarify the accounting and reimbursement process before finalizing the budget. The committee said it would use a 4% placeholder for library expenses until the library board provides final figures.
