Treasurer’s Report:
All transfers are complete. There
is $22,969 left from the Capital Campaign that will be applied to the FY24
budget for repairs. That amount does not
includes a debit for the $14,456 in FY23 as a required
deposit for the insulation project. That
project is now pending, as we wait to do more research. The Capital Campaign
fund for FY24 also includes the remainder of the Bankowski gift that still
remains with the Windham Foundation until we indicate we are ready for it to be
transferred to us.
Librarian’s Report:
All library financial reports and reconciliations are up to date. All FY23 is done to date and we will meet
with the state auditor in August. Our
FY24 draft budget preparation is complete.
We received the DOL Summer Performer grant of $300 which
will be used for a concert in September at GES.
Robin Russell and Jim Paulsen have given us $1,000 for
children’s programming.
We are scheduled for a reappraisal on June 8th
for the building insurance through the town of Grafton.
Old Business: In
the light of the Vermont Digger article detailing possible problems with foam
insulation in older buildings, we are slowing down on the project until we get
more information. John texted Vermont
Digger to see if they had suggestions for other contacts in the field who could
provide more information, especially in regard to older buildings and best
practices for insulating. Michelle will call John Birch for more information
and to invite him to attend the next board meeting.
All other repairs remain on hold until we do more research.
New Business: Socially responsible investments will be
discussed in the future when we meet with our new representative.
The board met in a brief Executive Session to vote on salary
increases for Michelle and Angel. An
increase of 8% was approved for both for the next fiscal year—start date July
1, 2023.
Next meeting: June 26, 2023 at 10:00 am
