okay let's get started right if we could startop Melissa Mashburn 64 Street nebor Terry M haly library okay all right so first thing is approval of minutes has everybody had a chance to to read them minute do that I would we accept the minutes is there a second okay second all in favor accepted director's report sure um so uh our spr system the bit that they needed to be place is fixed all it on that um full inspection soon um that's just a thing they normally do so when they were here to tell me about the part they were like yeah we'll be scheduling that soon it's like great um uh Fred D spent time with me on uh Friday to teach me about the hbac system and how to use their online portal system that's all set now um so we have a lot more control or at least I have the ability to actually know how to use our system again um and again he did notice we're still having the same track issues which is good that we're repairing reping and replacing any indication is timeline when they were going to start this no he hasn't have that information uh yeah okay I know he was going to give them a call and set it up soon okay yeah um so uh will our new library associate started a couple weeks back um the beginning of June he's amazing he fits in really well uh we're very excited to have him um our assistant director position uh is open uhy has left us her last day was the 14th um uh the position's been posted internally uh it'll get posted externally on this Friday um for how long it's open until filed open until filed okay all of our positions so far have been open to filed um get po this Friday is the 21st want to slow down I'm sorry most of it is here I know yeah I sorry my brain works a little bit quicker than my brain my mouth does clearly um yeah so that'll get posted um until we find the right candidate it's open okay um oh uh the programs have been great the yoga was a huge hit as per usual um honestly we'll probably bring them back just because they've been so so well loved um the friends annual meeting is this Friday they're going to decide the budget for a programming the next school year so that's about it uh and then yeah just a random update for today internet is down we're working on it I just talked to uh it at mlc he is um going to come out Thursday morning and fix whatever's happening okay all right new business do you have any new business other than what's on the I don't think so all right yeah all right the generator um they did receive bids for the generator the low bid came in at 102,000 and change the high was 157,000 um Alex and I met with uh James to discuss how we Mo forward from this did he have any other resources available were there any additional APPA funds left over from Co the the town has committed them all so they have provided $80,000 for the generator so in order to go forward we will need to come up with uh the number basically should be 25,000 that gives us a little extra in case there's a change on um and the potential is to have take that from the nade money um was the new report um Area Industrial Development from the industrial par when they were out of business maybe three years ago Terry four years ago they showed up one day with the check for $75,000 nice and we had no idea who was coming they just donated that as they eliminated their their resources remember that yeah so so that's we would take the 25 out of that we have used some of that money for local history when we had the arus there around we use around 30 of it then I believe so okay so coming from town and then we're going to take 80 from the town and then 25 from U from the Nate money yeah and that way it'll give us five um and and because James I believe the bid is good for 30 days and they received them on May 30th so it's good 30th of June and if they uh you know we let them know that the money is available and move this thing ahead and get it done as soon as possible yeah so then that's behind us and we have that as a to oure going into an incredibly active storm season yeah yeah yeah good reason so get s we're all Ming okay is that who is calling that was just a text somebody I texted few days ago he texted me now yeah um so if there's yeah yeah there's plenty okay and then you know and the other thing we I know and I talk about this we mentioned it before the town knows what we have for resources and all our funds so yeah so it's uh yeah you know so we're going to start utilizing finding things that we need to spend money on that we have resources for some of it's earmark for specific things and we'll obviously use them for that yep and I just um uh had a couple conversations with the town accountant uh so I Now understand where all of our funds are coming from all the trusts we kind of figured out all the ones that we weren't sure about okay um and so I have a better grip of where money is and we can use it for so I've got a couple ideas okay it would be helpful maybe for the next meeting if we have a list of all of those with the balances any restrictions yeah I'm hoping for the next meeting to have both what my budget's birth like brief budget is going to look for for fy2 and also the list of all those because I've been working on creating that ex excellent because you have there's a new accountant to that yeah so her and I have been working together so it's good so you're both learning yep what's there yeah she's been amazing she's been so helpful absolent great AB yes well good we get a handle on that and we figure out where we want to go and we obviously have the friends will be coming up with resources and we still have a good amount in state aid too it didn't really get touched this year which is fine it doesn't have to there's no it rolls over for many many years but we do have some of that too pointed out to me on a couple of occas yes I was thinking maybe there's a possibility for aeds from that if we want to think about it yes absolutely yeah I mean that's something you could entertain this evening too if you want I mean that's we don't have a price I say to look into that a a the umat yeah yeah yeah yes we had n the building everyone's trained on it but we have in the building get trained but they didn't give us one so Town Hall the fire station obviously in the school so train we would like to if you had one this is what you would do I'm surprised the town would not pay funds to have their Library have de they expens I'm sure they are you can do a free part 1800 bucks I I guess I don't it's all the ones that they have put in place in town they did it through a grant and there's a couple my yeah so unfortunately they left us off the list when they yeah yeah so my thought process is maybe get one just to have through state aid and then do a grant for the second one okay is kind of what I'm thinking but I have a because we were talking about having one in this room and one in the library itself again so one in here would be the first one so that if so exactly yeah there isn't one in the playing field no no yeah yeah you think some overeager helicopter parents might need that help Maybe Junior missed when they so let's start with the generator is there a motion uh to uh provide $25,000 to augment the funding for the year second second all in favor good how about James know that so they can move back forward y um he did say last time we talked that the electric charging stations were supposedly moving forward too I don't know where that is but a friend sent me a notice from I think it's transportation Federal Department of Transportation they have grant money available for the town so I sent him that to say if you want to do it another place and I guess he was doing it here and at the Central Street Fields so there's going to be two here and I think two at the fields so if I'm going to made him aware of it I don't know if he's going what there is you know the application process ends so just going to do it some other locations Town Hall kind close to we are that's okay just other than that I have nothing new old I'm about to start July 1st our a which is the for we F out a really big survey with all the information every minutia of the library in order to get our sted um so from July 1st to August think it's on 13 and 12th this year um I'll be doing that and it may or may not I know I have a ton of questions I can ask the friends based off of it I just did training on it so um so I might have questions about the trustees I don't actually know so just deps uh is the AIS a r i um it's the annual report for State a essentially um it's huge there's a ton to it every library has to do it it's how we get ouring so and we just got our uh buil DC which is I mean it up we knew it was to y yeah has already budgeted in yep and there's still in talks about what the actual numbers are going to be they decided to stay with um the formula they've been using or not been using the new one that they created even though there's a lot of backlash um I think it's the better one for us at the very least um but it will still every year it will go up at least 1% um they're not going to go backwards or state which makes sense on FAL term for them so we're doing good we're pretty much um Municipal budget is pretty much spent which is great um I do not have time it's all we're submitting tomorrow well Thursday this week is the last so as they drop in okay that's that is the last warrant for this month okay yep and I've got a ton of stuff to put on it so we will 100% s it good yeah it's good to know the town gave us the right amount of money this well and I think probably changing and Staffing probably help helped us not to go over yes yes otherwise were open a few a few position yes and I will say that for the next year that this up to make FAL year I'm going to have to be a little creative with budget for pricing because ER did not M what my salary was going to be so there's a little bit of Shifting here and there but I also don't know what I'm heading for an assistant director so I don't know that price is going to look either so we'll be fine either way we've used State a to absolutely so not worried but yeah it's it is looking good and I now have confirmation of what's in all of our funs we're doing good no you're I think you're spending a lot of time working with folks and time they're amazing I I truly between Diane and Eva I cannot talk about how incredibly helpful they have been to me um yeah they've been amazing and Tracy even though she's been out for a bit now she's been very very helpful as well I've been very very lucky for knowing very very no that's fine oh my God she's amazing yeah yeah I feel every
