Discussion/Action Items

Library Operating Budget 2021
A draft 2021 library budget was considered. The cost for benefits is still unknown.   The committee feels that Lenz has the authority to make staffing changes.  Lenz will provide the committee with the policy and procedure regarding staff development.

Library Operating Budget 2020
We need to get an estimate on the year end wages, salaries, and benefits from Finance Director Jennifer Sassman so that we can better determine the year end projection.  The committee would also like Sassman to confirm our understanding of carry over funds.  

Adjournment
Meeting was adjourned at 5:22pm.

Respectfully submitted,
Kathy Dreyer, recording secretary
