Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 24 subject tags
The Moon Township Library Board of Trustees met on August 31, 2022, and approved the minutes from May. The board moved into executive session to discuss proposed bylaw changes. During community comments, an Allegheny County Library Association representative assisted with the bylaw discussion. The treasurer reported a cash balance of $930,000, a year-to-date surplus of $68,000, and revenue of $323,000. Direct contributions were $29,000, exceeding budget by $15,000, while government grants were $283,000, $26,000 below budget due to timing of local government funding. Expenses totaled $255,000, with personnel costs $37,000 under budget because the library was down one employee. All signers for FNB investment accounts were changed. The treasurer’s report was approved. The director reported that MTCA-TV will move out of the downstairs area by late fall, freeing space for small programming or storage. The library’s book vendor, Baker & Taylor, is under a cyber-attack, halting orders and shipments, though no personal or financial information appears at risk. The board aims to hire a full-time technology and reference assistant in the 2023 budget. A face-to-face update with township supervisors is planned to discuss funding. Pennsylvania passed a 17% increase in state library funding, and the library requested a 4% increase in RAD funding. Annual appeal letters are being sent, with printing sponsored by Tyler Mountain Water and RMU. The fundraising committee reported that September is Love Your Library month, with a matching grant for donations and events including Moe’s dinners, a used book sale, and a kindness carnival. The building improvement committee will meet internally to compile a list of needs before meeting with township supervisors. The board unanimously adopted proposed bylaw changes after a roll call vote. No new business was discussed. The meeting adjourned at 7:34 p.m., with the next meeting scheduled for September 28.The Moon Township Library Board of Trustees met on August 31, 2022, and approved the minutes from May.
