It was brought to the board’s attention that some of the Library vouchers have been misplaced somewhere between the Town of Warsaw offices and Tom Baldwin’s offices. At this time they have not been found. Copies will be made of all vouchers from now on.
David Almeter made a motion 2nd by Janice Kelsey to approve the audited vouchers #128 - #147 for $3986.96.
Ayes: 5 Noes: Motion carried
There was a discussion on the 2015 proposed budget. As we are asking for quite an increase in the budget, it was decided that Library Director Lisa Gricius ask to be put on the agenda for the Wednesday, July 9, 2014 Town Board Meeting to explain to the Town Board why we are asking for such a large increase.

New Business:
David Almeter met with the Friends of the Library. The Friends would like to participate in the "Wine in the Valley" in September using the Library as a pour site. The Board agreed they could use the library if they met some conditions:
1) They would do all the work
2) That there would be 1 person to pour,
2 people at the doors (one in front, one in back)
2 to 3 people to circulate to make sure people are kept in the pour area and not
roaming around the library unsupervised.
3) Downstairs areas will be roped off.
David Almeter made a motion that the Friends be allowed to use the Library for the Wine in Valley provided they agree with conditions as described above. Motion seconded by Margaret Zeches.
Ayes: 5 Noes: Motion carried
A quilt has been donated to the Library to be raffled and the proceeds to go to the Library. It was suggested that maybe the friends would be willing to display the quilt during the summer concert series and sell tickets.
The Cleaning/Maintenance/Lawn/Snow contract will be up for renewal in November. At this time the Board feels that the contract with the present provider will not be renewed. Options and costs are being reviewed.
Janice Kelsey made a motion that the meeting be adjourned
Meeting adjourned at 8:45 pm.
