Director: FY25 books close at about 96% spent; $51,000–$52,000 unencumbered returns to general fund
Summary
Library Director Brenda told the board FY25 spending reached roughly 96% of budget with about $51k–$52k unencumbered; that balance will return to the city's general fund, and only about $130,000 of library funds are discretionary.
Brenda, the library director, presented the FY25 year‑end financials and said the library spent nearly all of its appropriated budget. “It looks like, about 96% of the budget budget expended,” she said, and reported an unencumbered balance of roughly $51,000–$52,000 that will revert to the city’s general fund rather than remain with the library.
Board members probed discretionary line items and staffing impacts; the Chair noted that roughly $130,000 of the library budget is under local control and that most large salary and benefit lines are set at the city level. The director and finance committee agreed to provide more quarterly detail and to continue refining which line items the library can flex as the city’s accounting change approaches.
