Old Business:

The work NYSEG will be doing on the lights cannot be started until after July 1, 2015. This means the painting cannot be started until the electrical work is completed. 

At this time Mr. Royce has not been back to complete the electrical work he has started.  The major portion has been done but there are still some small items to be finished.  If we can get no response from Mr. Royce it was suggested that we contact Beardsley Electric.

New Business:

It was suggested that the board should review the By-Laws and other policies pertaining to the Library.  Copies of the current policies will be provided to the board members for them to review.  Over the next few months the policies will be discussed at the meetings for any possible changes.

Library Director, Lisa Gricius, presented the board with a preliminary budget.  At the next meeting the board will approve or make recommendations for changes.
