Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 24 subject tags

The Moon Township Library Board of Trustees met on January 26, 2021, at 6:03 p.m. The board approved the previous month’s minutes with one abstention. The treasurer reported a November cash balance of $773,000, which was $73,000 above the prior year, with a $23,000 surplus. Overall revenue of $420,000 was $62,000 below budget, but expenses were down $96,000, offsetting the shortfall. Personnel costs were $43,000 under budget, and program expenses were $38,000 under budget. Collections reached 13% of expenses, exceeding the 12% goal. The board noted that a PPP loan had been fully forgiven and decided to pass on a second loan because the required 25% quarterly shortfall could not be demonstrated. December end-of-year financials were not yet available. The treasurer’s report was approved.

The director reported combined fundraising of $57,698.09, about $3,000 higher than last year, including individual donors, corporate grants, fines, a mask fundraiser, a water bill mailer, holiday events, a virtual raffle, a family photo shoot, and a foundation grant. The director had contacted the township supervisors to secure consistent funding for next year. Curbside service remained active, with a planned return to in-person operations by the second week of February. A supervisors meeting was scheduled for February 24, and the board would request a virtual option. The director’s report was approved.

Under personnel, a board member raised concerns about COVID-quarantined employees not following guidelines and infecting others, stressing that quarantine is not vacation time. The fundraising committee outlined events for February through June, including a Valentine fortune teller, heart-shaped cookies, a Five Below fundraiser, a Robert Morris takeout event, a test-your-luck bag sale, an Easter basket raffle, a Cinco de Mayo takeout, and summer reading mailers. In-person book sales were also being investigated.

The board approved officer nominations: President, Vice President, Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, and Secretary. Committee assignments were made for fundraising, by-laws, personnel, building improvement, and finance. No new business was discussed. The meeting adjourned at 6:44 p.m.
