President Aldinger called the meeting to order at 7:06 PM
David Almeter presented his findings from the town board meeting of Wednesday, August 12, 2014. The budget that was presented to the board was with a 12% increase.
We discussed several options from increasing revenue for the 2015 year.
We discussed the option of charging out of town patrons a yearly fee for their library card. It is felt that the total amount of revenue would not off-set the time to track the cards or promote the use of the library.
We did feel that the fine per day could be increased to twenty-five cents a day.
We will look at this option at our next meeting. Lisa will consult with other libraries
In the OWWL system.
We also are going to ask the village for monies to help with the upkeep of the library.
We will also ask for maintence of the yard and sidewalk around the library from Court Street to Main Street. It was noted that the villages of Arcade and Attica provide $10,000 and $650 respectively to their town libraries.
Discussion followed on approaching the windmill company to ask for monies.
The names supplied by town attorney were Mary Kehl, or Aaron Miller, Developer.
David Almeter will pursue this as he is versed in windmills.
The board decided to present the budget that reflected a 12% increase to the town
Board.
Meeting adjourned at 8:21 PM
Respectively Submitted,
Margaret Zeches
