Directors Report & Children's Services Report (See Attached)

Old Business:
Library Director Lisa Gricius said that she had received the budget funds from the Town of Warsaw.  However the amount $152,519.00 was $5324.00 short of the levy of $157,843.00 that the Town Board had approved on November 10, 2014.  Lisa will contact the Town supervisor Becky Ryan about the discrepancy.

The Library will be closed on April 25th while some electrical updating is done.

The total cost of having the trees trimmed was $1325.00.  The Library will pay half $662.50 and the Friends of the Library will cover the balance.

Over The Top Roofing has looked at the roof and gutters and they are in good shape.

Margaret Zeches made a motion seconded by David Almeter to approve the quote from Americote for painting the Library interior using the $4000.00 gift from the Conable Foundation.
                Ayes:  5                 Noes:  0                Motion carried

New Business:

Country Line electric was in and stated that it would cost $91.33 to change the standard ceiling bulbs and $2692 for the large lights.

The Library Director is having NYSEG come in and do an energy audit and to see if they have any programs that might help us with updating the lighting system.

The Wyoming Foundation has asked if they could use the Library for a program to honor donors to the Foundation on July 16.  As there are several other activities that same Day we need to get a little more information on what they expect the Library to provide before we can say yes or no.

The next meeting of the Board of Trustees will be on Tuesday, May 12, 2015.
Margaret Zeches made a motion to adjourn the meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 8:45 pm.
