Library board approves $41,984 purchase of kitchen cabinets; board prioritizes cabinets over other items
Summary
Board voted to buy kitchen cabinets (quoted price $41,984) after contractor urged ordering now because of lead time; members prioritized cabinets, then asphalt and heating. The motion passed by voice vote with Glenn seconding.
The board voted to release funds to buy kitchen cabinets after the contractor said cabinets are on a 12-week lead time and require a 50% deposit. Chair (speaker 2) moved that the library "move forward with the cabinets" for the amount shown on the estimate, and after a second from Glenn the board approved the purchase by voice vote.
Contractor Peter told the board ordering cabinets now reduces the risk of a scheduling gap later: “If they leave and we don't get the cabinets for 3 weeks after that, we may have a hard time getting them to come back and install them.” Board members said they will review the fund balance next month and prioritize asphalt and heating after assessing incoming funds.
