Approval of Minutes from March 12, 2018 <br /> Motion: To approve Minutes (Dubois/Pennacchio) <br /> Vote: Approved 5-0-0 <br /> II. Financial Report: <br /> FY2018: We are generally running on target. <br /> We are paying a new $1000 annual fee to the Massachusetts Library System (MLS) <br /> for delivery service. About 50 libraries statewide, identified as the largest users of <br /> this service, are being charged a fee to help offset the cost to MLS. This is due to <br /> less federal and therefore state funding going to MLS. <br /> New light-weight folding chairs will-be purchased for the Community Room using <br /> Foundation gift money. The current wood and metal chairs are cumbersome for our <br /> custodial staff to move and rearrange in large number multiple times a day. Once the <br /> new chairs arrive, Ms. Lannon will work with other Town departments who may be <br /> interested in taking our old ones. <br /> FY2019: The Library Technician position can be added to the Town classification <br /> plan. The position does not have a new fiscal impact; however it addresses our need <br /> to have a position between Page and Associate. <br /> Motion: Request that Board of Selectmen add the Library Technician job to Grade A <br /> on the FY19 classification plan (Dubois/Pennacchio) <br /> Vote: 5-0-0 <br /> Ms. Lannon distributed a proposed amendment to the Library FY19 Override budget, <br /> which redistributes salary funds. The allocation for Sundays remains the same, and <br /> other staffing hours will be divided amongst the library divisions. Changes from <br /> Page 1 1 <br />
