Trustee reads FY25 goals: MOU update, event collaboration, staffing, and outreach for homelessness
Summary
Trustees previewed proposed FY25 goals including updating the MOU with the City Council, working with the South Burlington Recreation Department on events, boosting trustee participation, advocating for more staff as usage grows, and addressing poverty and homelessness.
Trustee read proposed fiscal year 2025 trustee goals for the South Burlington Public Library, saying the goals cover the period "from July 1 to June 30." The goals include completing an update of the memorandum of understanding between the city council and the South Burlington Public Library and supporting the library director in developing community event partnerships with the South Burlington Recreation Department.
"Complete update of MOU between city council and South Burlington Public Library," the Trustee said while reading the list of goals. The Trustee also called for increased trustee participation at community events and for trustees to advocate for additional staffing and services "as the number of users and hours of operation increase." The goals conclude with a direction to support the director in navigating "changes in population trends to include poverty and homelessness and meet the needs of our users."
The Chair said the goals will be placed on the consent agenda at the next meeting for approval, signaling that trustees will consider the list in a formal vote at a subsequent session. No vote on the goals occurred during this recorded portion of the meeting.
