Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 40 subject tags
The Moon Township Library Board of Trustees met October 26 and approved minutes from September. The treasurer reported a cash balance of $868,000, with revenue of $371,000 at budget. Direct contributions reached $38,000, exceeding budget by $20,000, while government grants were $318,000, $19,000 below budget due to timing on local government funding. Expenses totaled $352,000, $25,000 under budget, with personnel costs at $227,000, $45,000 under budget. Collections were 18% of expenses, exceeding the 12% year-end goal. All government funds have been spent, and the fourth-quarter township payment was received and deposited. The director reported that statistics are slightly down due to back-to-school season but expected to rebound. Programming numbers remain steady, with a wait list of 158 registrants. The board was reminded to evaluate its self-evaluation policy, compensation philosophy, and succession plan, which are part of the bylaws but need to be submitted separately. Daily operations policies, including the Collection Development policy and Display and Design policy, are available for public review. A Google form exists for reevaluation of materials. The board will review the 2023 draft budget, holiday gifts, and yearly wage increases in November. The draft budget includes a cushion for unexpected price increases, and RAD and state aid increased, while state gaming and township contributions remained the same. An executive session will finalize the budget. Committee reports included a family photo shoot scheduled for November 13, a cookie box sale on December 10 requiring 5-6 dozen cookies prepared December 9, and an Icelandic Christmas tradition of exchanging books with Christmas packs for sale. The appeal fundraiser had 64 donors, and the library qualified for $5,101.25 from LYLM. New business included a relationship-building meeting on November 10 and a board meeting presentation on November 30. The Board of Supervisors requested resumes or letters for new appointees, though the process for those receiving reappointment letters was unclear. The meeting adjourned at 7:39 p.m., with the next meeting set for November 28.The Moon Township Library Board of Trustees met October 26 and approved minutes from September.
