Library use up, auditor recommends review; council plans part‑time assistant tax collector role
Summary
Council reports: library door counts are up year‑to‑date and the library will move from an annual audit to a review engagement after a bond payoff; finance staff will convert the assistant tax collector position to part‑time (27.5 hours) and add a per‑diem hire to cover remaining duties.
Council committee reports highlighted library growth and staffing changes: library year‑to‑date door visitors reached 20,755 through April (up 10% year‑over‑year). The library board will hire a replacement full‑time employee for a staff member on long‑term medical leave, approve a part‑time hire for 10–18 hours per week, and move forward with scheduled men's room renovation bids.
The borough's auditor recommended a financial review engagement now that a bond was paid off on Dec. 31, 2023, instead of a full audit, which the library will submit to the borough. On finance, the assistant tax collector rescinded a resignation; council agreed to convert the position to part‑time (27.5 hours) and to authorize a part‑time per‑diem hire to provide coverage and overlap during peak taxation periods. Council agreed to place a salary ordinance item on the next meeting agenda to formalize the change.
