Summary

Library trustees designated Barbara Sweet to sign State SRP grant paperwork and scheduled a public hearing for June 10 at 4:30 p.m. to accept a $10,000 carpeting grant (per NH RSA 202-A:4-c).

Trustees voted to designate Trustee Barbara Sweet to sign required paperwork for the State summer reading program (SRP) grant after Caroline Pynes reported the library had received the award and needed an authorized trustee to enter into contracts.

Separately, trustees reviewed two bids for a $10,000 carpeting grant. One vendor's quote was about $1,000 higher but included a lifetime guarantee; trustees asked the director to meet with that vendor to discuss price. Katie Ruoff noted that NH RSA 202-A:4-c requires a public hearing to accept the carpeting grant; the trustees scheduled that hearing for June 10 at 4:30 p.m. and asked Barb Sweet to draft the required notice.

No final vendor selection was made at the meeting; trustees directed staff to pursue price negotiation and to publish the public-hearing notice in accordance with state law.
