Board approves finance report; director outlines use of $10,000 Carnegie grant for painting and repairs
Summary
The library director reported generally stable finances, a $10,000 Carnegie Corporation grant and a $6,000 painter quote for wall repair and interior painting; carpet replacement estimated at about $30,000 and will be deferred. The finance report was approved by voice vote.
At the meeting the library director presented the finance report and told the board the library is "not quite halfway through the year, but everything is going really well," while noting a few overages that staff expect to manage. She said budget staff will provide a timeline at the end of May as budget season approaches and that coding errors on a utility bill had been identified and will be corrected for next year.
The director reported the library received a $10,000 grant from the Carnegie Corporation and reviewed proposed uses: a painting and wall repair job quoted at about $6,000 and possible window blinds for downstairs that could consume remaining funds. She cautioned carpet replacement for a library of their size would cost nearer $30,000 and likely will be deferred. The board approved the finance report by motion and voice vote.
