Library Director Melissa Grygla provided the board with a budget update at the April 14 meeting, saying city financial projections are being updated in the finance software and that the library has begun spending on equipment and board books now that it is settled into the new space.

Director Grygla told the board that "the video game grant funds have been expended," and staff have already started adding items purchased with those grant funds to the library collection. The board reviewed a monthly director's report; the minutes note an agenda item labeled "AMH Unit and Overdue fines," but no further details or decisions about fines were recorded in the minutes.

Grygla also reported operational matters, including pending signage approval and an ongoing issue with a vendor email and text alert system that fails when the vendor system goes down. The board did not take formal policy action on fines or AMH items during the April 14 meeting.
