Board of Trustees Open Meeting 8/15/2013

Warsaw Public Library
Board of Trustees
Thursday, August 15, 2013

A meeting of the Warsaw Public Library board of trustees was called to order by vice president Janice Kelsey at 7:00pm. 
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss and approve the budget for 2014.  Present were trustees Janice Kelsey, David Almeter, Margaret Zeches, Susannah Heubusch; Library Director Lisa Gricius and Town Liaison Shanie Jones.  Trustee Suzanne Aldinger arrived shortly thereafter.

After a short discussion a motion was made by Margaret Zeches to accept the 2014 budget as written asking the Town of Warsaw for $129,317.00.  Motion was 2nd by Janice Kelsey.
Ayes:   4 Noes:  1 (David Almeter)   Motion carried.

As Fay Steel is still refusing to provide liability insurance coverage per the cleaning contract there was some discussion on what steps should be taken.   There were three options:
  (1)  Put her on as an employee at slightly more per hour than the $10.30 she is making now; as the Library would be picking up the costs of FICA, MED., FUTA, SUTA, insurance and possibly retirement
 (2)  Increase the wage to $16.00 as independent contractor and she provide liability insurance coverage
 (3)  Put the position out for bids.

A motion was made by Margaret Zeches that we offer Fay $16.00 an hour and she provide the liability insurance.
 Ayes:  5 Noes:  0 Motion carried

Due to conflicting schedules the September meeting will be held on Tuesday September 17 at 7:00pm.

Margaret Zeches made a motion to adjourn the meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 7:50 pm
