Board of Library Trustees <br />Minutes of Meeting - October 26, 1994 <br />Conference Room - Reading Public Library - 6:00 p.m. <br />Present: Mrs. Elia Marnik, chair; Mr. William Diamond; Ms. Cherrie Dubois; <br />Mr. Robert Fields; Dr. Christine Redford. <br />Mrs. Marnik called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. <br />Mrs. Marnik explained that the only item for discussion is the FY96 Library <br />Budget. She stated there is now a firm figure for the NOBLE assessment. <br />The Board discussed the proposed operating budget., as well as the <br />Structural Increases and New Program Requests, as outlined by the Director. <br />The major issue is the supply budget; whether the Library should comply <br />with the 2.2% guideline stated by the Town Manager, or whether to submit a <br />larger sum, reflecting actual expenditures..:- Dr. Redford stated that it is <br />important that the budget accurately reflect the costs of running the <br />library. Other members agreed, but stated expenses must be substantiated <br />in the future, for Finance Committee and Selectmen discussions. <br />The Board discussed the Information Technology Coordinator position, and <br />agreed to present it as a full-time position, but possibly to be phased in <br />if adequate funds are not available. <br />The NOBLE assessment is increased by approximately 25%, due to site <br />relocation costs. <br />Board voted unanimously to accept the budget as presented by the <br />erector. <br />Meeting adjourned at 6:25 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Deirdre Hanley <br />Director <br />1 <br />
