Moon Township Board of Supervisors and its boards · 43 subject tags

The Moon Township Public Library Board of Trustees met March 27 and approved the February minutes. The treasurer reported a cash balance of $1.1 million and a year-to-date surplus of $103,000, which is $40,000 above budget. Revenue exceeded budget by $22,000, driven by higher local government funding, while expenses ran $18,000 under budget, primarily due to lower personnel costs. The board accepted the report and approved creating credit cards for two trustees to cover fundraising costs.

The director reported that the 2023 state report was submitted, and the Teen Battle of the Books drew more than 300 students from multiple school districts. The library hosted VITA tax services, preparing 100 returns. The library is scheduled for a quarterly update at the televised supervisors meeting on June 5. A staff in-service day with CPR and first-aid training is set for June 3; the board agreed to pay for the training. The library will receive two new wireless access points, with installation expected after a PC refresh in late summer or early fall. Staff will participate in cybersecurity training now required for the annual audit.

In committee reports, a virtual visit from an FNB representative reviewed the library’s investments, totaling $202,380.37 with $100,000 liquid. All investments are outperforming the market, but the advisor recommended waiting to diversify until the board has a firm plan for the library’s physical space. The fundraising committee reported a Texas Roadhouse dine-to-donate raised $200 and is considering a bucket golf event and a 30-day raffle for Love Your Library Month. The building committee’s expansion discussion is on hold pending a meeting with supervisors on March 28. The board held an executive session for trustee search discussion. The meeting adjourned at 7:55 PM.
