New Trustee Welcome <br />All welcomed Monette Verrier to the Board. <br />III. Financial Report <br />a. FY2018 - Ms. Lannon presented a budget report that was run on 2/7/18. We <br />are currently running slightly under budget. Our Fines and Fees account is <br />almost at $15,000, which is the cap. Ms. Lannon will clarify with the Town <br />Accountant what happens when we meet that limit. The Technical Services <br />Division Head will start to spend down this line by using the funds for item <br />replacements. We continue to receive donations and gifts. <br />b. FY2019: Level services and override update - Ms. Lannon distributed and <br />reviewed a proposed budget that includes $102,000 which would come to <br />library if the override passes. Ms. Verrier asked how the $102,000 amount <br />was chosen. Ms. Lannon decided this number in consultation with Town <br />Manager Bob LeLacheur in discussing how the town portion of an override <br />would be split. Board feedback was to present numbers in a similar fashion to <br />how they were presented prior to the override discussion in the Town <br />Manager prioritized list. We discussed how the ballot question may be worded <br />Page l 1 <br />
