Bob Smith, CEIS Inspector, has given a general overview and recommendations on the electrical service in the library.  It was decided to ask for quotes for the completion of the work.
The Town Boards response to who the responsible parties are for structural and component repairs to the building, which is owned by the Town, was discussed.  The Town Board feels that since the Library funds come from the taxpayers through the Town levy that the Library should incorporate such repairs into its budget.    At this time Town Historian, Sally Smith, is doing some research to see if any previous president has been set.
David Almeter gave an update on the Friends of the Library.  He had some questions for the board and will present the responses to the Friends at their next meeting.
The board discussed the parking situation at the Smallwood property.


The next meeting of the Board of Trustees will be on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 at 7:00 pm.
