Call the order 120 something. Anybody know what? Okay. To the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands. One nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. I'll bring it up to you. That's where I could go. Motion to approve the minutes of June 9th with that one correction. And what's the correction?
7,000. Oh, that's not in here. That was in Bonnie. That was correction, I believe. I forgot what I read. Motion to accept. Second. Anyone? Second release did
any discussion? All in favor? Date of next meeting, August 11th. Theoretically, it's good for everyone. Yep. Now, we didn't always meet in the summer,
but we should probably meet in August because it's before school opens. Last year, we had skipped September, I think, because we didn't have at that point much to go over. So, Mhm. that's an option. But then our meetings are not that long,
so not a problem. Yeah, we had amended the bylaws instead of meeting monthly instead of meeting monthly as needed. So if we don't need it later on year,
you can skip and we do meet as needed. It's a busy place. Can I can I just ask a question about one of the Is this for the um is it for the hoopla? Oh, the annual. Yes, is most of the year. Okay. Okay.
It's about $800 a month for our expensive, but I just wanted to make sure I knew what I signed. Do you do you use it? I do occasionally. Yes. Yes. I think it's more used than Libby. I still like a book, but is Amy not
here? Um, no. Amy has been very sick. She's still sick. Yeah. Um, she should be back tomorrow hopefully. But she was in the hospital. She got a they think a spider bite. Oh wow. I've had one of those. That's not fun. So hopefully she'll be back tomorrow.
Yeah. Any correspondence? No. Motion to accept the director's report. Motion. I have a question. Oh, never mind. Finish the motion. Motion. Second. Also,
um the attendance for non-UN employees. When was that done? Above the I don't remember. The personal committee went through it and then we did vote on it here. It was a few months ago. Yeah. I can't remember exactly.
I don't remember. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Maybe you weren't here. I think there's a question. You might have Oh, maybe. Any other questions or comments or discussion? I'm trying to figure out where I want to be. Okay.
Um, you switch sides on me. Everybody switch sides. Oh, but you did fine over here. Yeah, but I can't. So, honey, is in your director's report the expenses, is that included? Can I
ask a question about that at this point? Yes. I'm just curious. The electric bill seems so low. Is that because we get the benefit of the solar? No. No. You thought it was low? No.
We It's two different companies. Liberty Utilities and I think it's energy is the second one. Oh, maybe distribution then play pay for actual usage. Solar. No, we don't have solar. Oh. So, we don't get the benefit of the solar at all. No. solar
the solar panels that are up over at the transfer station. I don't know how that work. No, we don't I don't know how the count benefits from that. Okay, they do, but I don't know how they do. All right. Maybe it's just So, how how does this building have two electrical sources?
It's just the way they Oh, the billing. Yeah, you could you could have two at home, but you might only have one. I do only have one. Yeah, might have one, too. But the town has a contract with Oh, Constellation. Constellation. So that's for the the service and then pay a distribution for it to go the lines.
Right. Okay. Right. If you don't pick an outside company, you get the same service for both on the same boat. And then the only other thing and maybe I'm just not seeing the name. I don't not familiar with the name insurance like master policy insurance for the
building. And yeah, that's all through the town. That's all through the town. Okay. All right. Terrific. Okay. Is the town selfinsured? I don't know. I don't think so. No, they'd be selfinsured. That would just be with health or something though, not the property.
Health is a tough one to be selfinsured. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Thank you. Anything else? Okay. All in favor of accepting the director's report. We already did that, didn't we?
No, we think we did. Yeah. 28 hours and then assistant director. She's no a couple of weeks. So anyway, for two weeks. Yeah.
Was she How long she in the hospital? She was in the hospital for almost a week. Yeah. So, we're very worried about her. Oh dear. She's doing better now. So, hopefully she'll be back tomorrow. You should have let us know. Oh, we could have sent her a card.
Yeah, the staff sent her a edible arrangement. That's nice. That was fun. Okay. I sent out my report on the friends update. Mary, did you want to say anything about the friends meeting? Well, I wasn't at the meeting last week,
so I can't tell you any more updated information. You probably were. Were you there, Laura? I was there. Okay. So, your report's probably more up to date, but um the the paperback book sale that's going on in the lobby is turning out to be very successful. We
made $500 on Saturday, so that was unexpected, but very um happy to have that. So, that's just going to go for the next couple weeks and then um we're on schedule to just push along. So, all is good with the book sale right now. How
was the is the town is the town having an other one on main road down there? It started Saturday. It did start at 7 going on. Yeah. Yeah. I heard that one was really crowded. Oh, it is. It's a good place to avoid. The cars are there at 7:00 in the morning.
Oh, really? Yeah. Uh do we have a motion on the um your followup date? We never made a motion before because it's not Well, we've had this discussion, haven't we? It's an update versus a report that you have to accept. So,
but it's on the agenda. Yeah, we could have Okay. Motion to accept my update. Move. Second. Second. Any discussion? All in favor? I
safety subcommittee. I'll let Barney go first on safety. I'm sorry. It's been such a busy morning. Um the cameras were installed last was it Monday or Tuesday? So it was Monday. Yeah. So they were here most of the day doing that and they
are wonderful so far. Um so far it's just on one computer because um now that the new fiscal year has started. We need to replace um some of the computers. They've gotten really old. Amy's especially is it drives me insane. I don't know how she does it. They can't handle the camera. Yeah. Yeah. So, instead of having him
download all of that onto computers, we're getting rid of in like a month or two, depending on when sales can do it. Um, so we just have it on the one for now, but it's um we'll have it at the desk here and on Amy's and my computer so everyone can get to it. And it's on my phone right now.
Um, so then if the alarm goes off in the middle of the night, I can check what's happening on the cameras, which is really nice. You might want to delegate that. Yeah. Well, I was going to have Joan um see if we can get that on his phone, too, cuz he gets the um alarm and he was always
and he's much closer than me. Yeah. So, um so anyway, they're mostly outside. So, basically all of the outside is covered by the cameras and there's one in the lobby just on the door as people come in and out. And there's one um in the two or there's two in the library
above the sitting areas um where we don't have a clear line of sight and there's been issues in the past. So Bonnie walked around with the guy and they placed all the cameras exactly where she wanted them. Perfect. So yes, it's all of our problem spots are now covered. So, but there's not so many that it feels like, you know,
you're watching the ones out there cuz they look like a like that. Yeah. It's just a little Yeah. Does it blink? Does it have a Not that I've noticed. No. Yeah. But yeah, they're not unless she smile. So,
you catch yourself looking at it? No, I don't even remember. They're there. Good for you. Good for you. And it's not like there's none in the kids area. There's none in the staff. Yeah. Like it's it's good if you need it. We can if you know it comes to it that we need them in other places. We can add
them in. Um the security system. We didn't spend She didn't spend all that money. It came in a little bit less than what it was quoted at last year. Oh, good. Yeah, that's great. So, yeah, I'm really happy with it so far. Hopefully we don't have to use it, but if we do, it's right.
Perfect. Personnel. Oh, that's it for safety. Okay. Personnel. The committee met just about half hour ago at most. Mhm. We met and just reviewed the employee handbook just to say we thought it was
very clear, concise, practical, and we vote that the trustees adopt it. Do we have to adopt it? Do you want it adopted as a whole? Do you want each policy separately as a whole? Well, yeah. The first
section had already been done. Yeah. For the non-union, but yeah, I think as a whole So, do we need a motion to just um approve it? Well, that's we're coming to it in the new business. Okay. So, yeah, we'll make a motion then.
Perfect. Well, want to do it then? Yeah, sure. Okay. Bankos bank grant. Um, are we check the bank? We got the They were very, very quick. We already got the check. It was $5,000, not seven. I wrote that
down wrong. And I'll send copy of the email to to you. You can Okay. Determine what we're supposed to do cuz I wasn't sure. Okay. Now, what what are we going to do about
the company? Um, I mean, we do have the the money from Anderson, which would pay for it, but our HVAC is really, really bad. I would like to do HVAC with the the main foundation next year. Okay. We already got a quote. That's like a little over 100,000.
Yeah. How much is the carpeting? It was 50 for the whole thing. And we got 60,000 from Richard Anderson, right? That was an unexpected surprise. That was great. So, we could just do it ourselves with the $5,000 that Behost
has given us, or I had been thinking we would put that money aside for the HVAC, which is really going downhill fast. Um, but if we want to do Manton, if we think that I think they would do that, they got a copy of it last year cuz I I put it
I got an email with the plumbing quote on that. So I sent them the whole thing so they knew I wasn't like patching things together. Pleasure. So the 5,000 from Bay Coast if it's rolled into the Anderson
um that would give us I think Anderson is well enough on it own though. Yeah, it's plenty. But we do have we can just save some of the Anderson money. Have we spent any of that money yet? Um it's just in the gift account. So no, not really. Um,
so that money is still there with whatever is left from the Manton, right? Yes. Yeah. The Manton um grant is in its own separate account entirely. Well, how about if we said something like um you know, thank you to Bay Coast obviously and um it doesn't cover a rug.
So instead, we'd like we'd like to inform you that we'd like to do X with it instead and use Anderson. We could. They gave us the money for that. I know, but they didn't give us enough money for that. But so they can't get they can't get applauded for the whole thing. I think we have to use it toward that toward Yeah.
I I would because you can't ask somebody for money and then spend it for something else. Yeah. Except you don't give enough money to do what you need to do. No, but they made a contribution. Right. Right. Unless you can get other contributions.
I think it's tough raising money. M I mean unless we had a a fundraiser for carpeting, but I I don't it's not an exciting thing to get people. So maybe do the the front as you had said like the um your area.
Yeah, I think it would cover behind the counter cuz that has had holes in it. That's going to be a tripping hazard. So we have plastic things over them so nobody falls but it's got holes in it. How do you feel about just doing the whole thing? I mean I'm fine if you want to use that money. We do have, you know, we've
gotten some really nice donations this year. So, we do have the extra money available and that would still be in the gift. Yeah. Okay. Is it not for specific? No. Okay. If it's not for anything specific, it just goes into the gift account. And it says Oh, no, it doesn't. I don't think I
have um No, I didn't send you that part. I do have um in the financial report that I sent you, it does on mine say if there was any restrictions on it, but I don't know if I printed that part out for you guys. Um but the uh Richard Anderson money had no restrictions on
it. We can use it for whatever we want. So we still have $83,000 from Yes. But most of that is earmarked for the projects already. I think a couple of things have come in a little bit less. So we might have a little bit left over. But where's the old men um
gift account? That is the expansion gift account which is 64,000 left there. Yeah. I think this is my spreadsheet. I can't find it. Um, yeah, one of them. Oh, expansion
gift account. Yeah, towards the beginning. That is from the original mansion. And I think you had gotten another grant after that after the um I don't think so. We got it for the walkway. Yeah. Okay. So, that's what's left from the original one for from the addition.
The second one is for the walkway or for the doors or for both? For both. That's That's a whole The security cameras, the ADA walkway, and the doors are all from this last one that was added in. I I'd like to see us do the carpeting. I think it's pretty nasty looking at this because I don't know.
We don't know what's coming. Yeah. And it needs to be done. Yeah. Certainly seems like there's plenty of options plenty of fund options to to Yeah. It could come from the other manation fund also. What up would happen? Well, if we use
the and if we use that Anderson, I mean that was and uh that would be a good thing to do. Anderson, right? And so 63 I believe it was about 63. It was an unexpected gift.
So it would cover Yeah, it would cover that nicely. I don't I can't see it. You can use it. It's just in the gift account. I don't that one didn't get its separate one because it had no restrictions. It just went into the gift account.
So, what what account was that one in? Uh the gift is or expansion gift? Nope. It's right before expansion gift, right? Yes. Okay. So, that's the total we have in the amount. I mean, just in our random gift account right now. So, do we need a motion?
We need a motion. I make a motion that we move forward with the cop thing using the donation for Bay Coast Bank and the Anderson account. Second. Any discussion? All in favor?
I'll uh get the guy to come back in. You guys pick out your squares, the colors. Yeah, we narrowed it down already. So, I think we're going to go with the We can lay back in. Okay, that sounds good to me. And they're going to do the squares to cut around all the stuff. So we don't Perfect. Yes.
Otherwise you have to move everything out of the library. Will they have to close while they're doing that? No. They'll just cut sections. We may have to like put some caution tape where they're working, but Okay. We can go over that with when he comes in. Yeah.
And that was through ABC Rogers. Well, that's exciting. Yeah, if if you don't mind, I'm going to ask if they'll give us a discount. Please do. John will be ecstatic. He's always scrubbing the carpet and the stains just
will not come out. I keep telling they're not going to come out. But it's been a while. It Yeah, it's been. And they've a lot of people have walked on those carpets. So, probably still has co germs.
We license all this place. What are you going to do if you move stuff? If you'll have spaces then or you're not going to move. No, those bookcases are never moving. And like the kids the stuff in the kids section that you know is movable will move out of the way. So it would just be those Yeah.
heavy thing. Yeah. Yeah. Somewhat permanent. Yeah. Basically. Yeah. Big step. Yeah. Yeah. That would be exciting. Wow. Terrific. Good. You bet. Wow. Employee. That was kind of unexpected, but I'm glad we
motion to accept. Second. I second. Any further discussion? All in favor? I I Okay, you got the working handbook. Very nicely done. Thank you. Yes.
Very readable. Very cool. The employee handbook. Not a whole lot of double ebook. It was Yeah, it was part of the packet. Oops. Yeah. Okay. Landscaping and ADA walkway. Um, I'll do landscaping first. Well,
it's the same thing. Um, I emailed the guy this morning. He emailed us that they got a date and give us a date in a couple of weeks. Price has gone up by $2,000, I think. And he said, "That's just the price of concrete is going up, not the labor." So, I emailed him this
morning, July 7th is when he told us that. I emailed him this morning and said, you know, it's a couple more days past July 7th. We need a date. So hopefully he'll get back to us today. But that's a go. John, I talked to Joseph. Um he's waiting on them to do
their thing to be done before we come in and digging holes for the trees. We did meet with Joseph. Um I think Sue Costa Sue and he's still got a lot of like flowery type stuff and things around. We don't want that really cuz we everybody take care of it, right?
We want trees. So, if they're going to spend $500 on some other, let's get some shrubs or something and put them somewhere. Yeah. Maybe even shrubs around the front of the building. Nice ones that you can trim instead of the flowers with the weeds. Yeah. Less maintenance. You want a flower in a tree?
I Oh, we got one I think coming hydrangeas or something. Easy. They are easy. But he said, "Well, just put mulch around the tree and all that stuff will grow up in the mulch." I said, "Yeah, but then the weeds will come up, too." Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of maintenance. She says, "Have the garden club do us." We don't
have a garden club anymore. They're the garden club has enough things on their plate. They they would not take us on. We request work with Joseph or maybe around the building instead of down there. The trees down there. Yeah.
I think he's got four goodiz trees. Nice. But yeah, they should be nice. So that's that. We're waiting on uh a guy come up to start digging up. I wish he gave us a date cuz then you could plan whatever you got going on.
Yeah, this has been difficult with him with the death of the family. And then we're going to have to wait for the doors because of the paperback book sale. Yeah. Yes. Unfortunately, when I put that together, I was very sad cuz I was like, they're finally coming. Yeah.
I realiz it the week after. Yeah. But we have to put it in if it fits in the week after both the book sale and the book sale. Oh no, now just two weeks. Yeah, hopefully between the other one. Yeah. So, but yeah, it should just hopefully push it back a week. So,
and they're making so much money for we don't want disturb. We went over with the alarm guy the door and he said just make sure you take that little piece and stick it on the inner door. So good. Hopefully this will be done by September.
It's been a while. That was one of the things when I was running that we're getting we're getting back to the library. They're going to look like September. Sure. That it was coming. You know, we've been
working on it and the decision had been made and that was almost 3 years ago. They're working on it in the town has been cut in the grass. Yes. Yeah. They did a great job. Great. I think they got a a part-time. I think there was a younger guy that I
had not seen before who came on. Yeah. He did a great job. Good. That's great. other topics. Anyone? Um, we are we going to schedule the AED
once Amy's back? And because when you said she's been out, I Yeah. figure that's why we haven't. Yeah, there was two dates at the end of July or one at the end of July and one at the beginning of August. So, we'll just pick one of those when she gets back. And has John put it up yet? Not yet.
Okay. Remember, it has to be 80. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, we have to figure out where right now so many things. There's an awesome special on PBS on the Affordable Care um sorry, not the Affordable Care, the um Americans with
Disabilities. I can't even believe that was 1990. I mean, it seems like it should have been so long ago, but it was a really good documentary about the whole um process of American with disabilities. They come out and
they change things every so many years. Like the railings had to be one circumference. Now they got to be smaller. Some people have to go out and redo them. People don't have that kind of money to keep they've done it once. You should be grandfathered in
and yet when we went to Washington, well, it was 80 I think it was 89. We had to we had someone with a wheelchair with the eighth grade class and they had to haul the wheelchair up and down the stairs to the bathroom. Sure. Yeah. Yeah.
And that's a national, right? Yeah. Yeah. That was one of the one of the scenes actually in the documentary is many uh disabled people climbing up the stairs of Congress, crawling, I mean every which way being carried just to get to
the halls of Congress to ask to to present themselves. It was wild. It made you cry. Yeah. You just don't realize the struggles that you see them. Okay. Motion to adjurnn. Motion to adjurnn. Second. Second. All in favor?
I. 1229
