Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 21 subject tags

The Moon Township Library Board of Trustees met August 30 and accepted the resignation of a trustee. The board then entered executive session for personnel matters and afterward voted to recommend three new trustees to the Board of Supervisors for appointment: one trustee to replace another trustee, and two trustees to fill the seat vacated by the resigning trustee.

The board approved the July treasurer’s report, which showed a cash balance of $974,000, a year-to-date surplus of $81,000, and revenue of $362,000—$67,000 over budget. Expenses were $281,000, $25,000 under budget. The director reported that summer reading wrapped up with 339 participants and more than 7,000 program attendees. She requested a 25% overall budget increase for 2024, with 15% for personnel and salaries, citing frozen RAD and state funding. The board discussed an 8% annual increase over three years, about $15,000 per year, as suggested by the township manager. The board also approved an updated Computer and Internet Acceptable Use Policy to comply with 2024 CIPA requirements.

In public comment, a Friends of the Library representative updated the board on the upcoming Wilpen event, reporting 21 platinum, 12 golden, and 4 sponsor tickets sold, with golden tickets still available at $50. The Friends also announced a homecoming booth and a carnival on September 21. The board discussed the November 4 purse bash fundraiser at Hopewell VFD, with a Vegas theme, $40 tickets, and a need for a DJ and a game of chance license. The board also noted that September is Love Your Library Month, with donations matched by the Jack Buncher Foundation. The meeting adjourned at 7:55 p.m.
