Library committee approves revised budget; town allotment trimmed, expansion line added
Summary
The Middletown Springs library committee approved a revised budget that reduces the town allotment to $44,800 and adds a $10,000 expansion line, with small adjustments to friends’ donation and interest lines to balance totals.
Committee members approved a revised library budget that reduces the town allotment to $44,800, adds a $10,000 line for expansion (the separate ballot article the committee will request), and corrects small figures in the friends donation and interest lines to balance totals.
Chair (S2) presented the numerical changes and proposed the motion to approve the revised budget. Committee members discussed minor line-item adjustments — including updating the friends donation to $12.50 — to ensure the bottom-line income totaled correctly. The motion to approve the revised budget passed by voice vote.
The committee recorded that hiring for the programming/coordination position would be delayed until the summer and that if the ballot article fails, they would reconvene to reassess funding and priorities. Members instructed volunteers to continue fundraising and to monitor spending against the revised line items.
