1
00:00:01,199 --> 00:00:07,269
I called the meeting door at 6 PM.

2
00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:08,800
Yeah.

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,480
Has everybody had a chance to look at

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,000
the

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,080
minutes

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:22,310
from last month?

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:31,910
I can I can move to approve them.

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,680
All right, Chris moved to approve the

9
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:38,320
minutes. Second of August 5th.

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,840
>> All those in favor?

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,360
>> I.

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,040
>> Those opposed?

13
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,559
>> The eyes have it.

14
00:00:46,559 --> 00:00:49,600
>> Okay. The You want treasures report?

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:50,480
>> Yes, please.

16
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:54,160
>> Um I passed out the one that says July

17
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,480
30th is the one we're looking at. and

18
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:01,760
you'll see um that it's fiscal year 2027

19
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,159
and it's got all the budgets and most

20
00:01:04,159 --> 00:01:07,200
things have not been used. There is an

21
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,400
odd thing. She had two different numbers

22
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,920
for books in her paperwork and I think

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,159
it's the 112781

24
00:01:16,159 --> 00:01:18,560
that I put at the bottom because my

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,479
total didn't add up. Um, but she had put

26
00:01:22,479 --> 00:01:25,200
the 1,114

27
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,799
in the place that I thought it was

28
00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:28,960
supposed to be in. So, I left that

29
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:32,880
there. It's only $13 difference. So, you

30
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,200
know, my mother would say if you're a

31
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,560
penny off, you're in trouble. But, um,

32
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,640
>> but since I know what what the

33
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,040
discrepancy is, I left that. Now, if you

34
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,280
look under encumbered funds, you'll see

35
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:52,469
that I've added the 20 25 26 encumbered.

36
00:01:52,479 --> 00:01:55,680
Amy last month was concerned that it was

37
00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,000
a higher amount than we usually have and

38
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,799
Jenny and I, we went over that a little

39
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:06,159
bit. Is are were there inspections that

40
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:08,080
didn't get done? Is that part of the

41
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,039
problem? Yep. There were um inspections

42
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:15,599
that um hadn't been completed that are

43
00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:17,440
well the sprinkler is an expensive

44
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,400
expense ex inspection.

45
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,599
Um and then

46
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:25,760
the

47
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,319
that was the one that I hadn't done this

48
00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:32,080
past year. Um I think $500 was last

49
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,480
year's or the the previous time it was

50
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,120
Dun's bill.

51
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,879
in my report. It still hasn't happened.

52
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:40,720
The guy scheduled to come and didn't

53
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,319
show up. So, um I can go with the other

54
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:46,640
company when we get to that part. We can

55
00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:50,160
>> So, the only the only thought I had was

56
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:51,920
maybe we should take that out of the

57
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:55,440
escrow account when it comes if it was

58
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,360
really last year's.

59
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,200
>> But we have to talk to Amy about that

60
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,360
because I don't know how that works.

61
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,120
>> Um

62
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,840
>> I had another thought. And the reason we

63
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,280
encumber all that money is because we

64
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,599
get the check at the end of June and we

65
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:15,920
can't spend the entire quarter. That's

66
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:18,080
got to take us through the first quarter

67
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,840
of

68
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,560
>> of the year. But if you look if you look

69
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,400
at the balance that's in our checking

70
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,000
account right now, we're we've got a

71
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,400
fair amount of money in there.

72
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,879
Um,

73
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:36,319
so I had one other thought. Oh, the

74
00:03:36,319 --> 00:03:40,400
other thing is that in 2025,

75
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,640
we had a few weeks that we paid Jenny

76
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,159
and Carol. So, the payroll was higher in

77
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:51,760
2025 than it was in 2026.

78
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,959
So, that might account for it, too. And

79
00:03:54,959 --> 00:03:57,760
then I've got some CD work to to go

80
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,519
over. I gave you June 20, June 30th,

81
00:04:01,519 --> 00:04:17,670
just for FYI when we do the budget.

82
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,479
So, I think we should

83
00:04:20,479 --> 00:04:23,600
um go with the one year. I know it's not

84
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,479
that much more. Do we want to

85
00:04:26,479 --> 00:04:28,960
>> do you want do you want this to be a

86
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,720
part of the treasur's report then?

87
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:31,919
>> I it can be

88
00:04:31,919 --> 00:04:32,560
>> okay.

89
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,800
>> Um we have two CDs coming due. It's if

90
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,720
you look on the back of this report,

91
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,560
it's the 20

92
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:50,320
the 9029 one and the 9011

93
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:56,880
um and the community bank $10,000

94
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,639
that u was the Carnegie money I I put in

95
00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:02,400
for seven months cuz that was the best

96
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,000
deal and I figured that was fine. these

97
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,120
other two a year is a better deal. It's

98
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,960
the difference between 2.7 and 2 almost

99
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,639
three. Um

100
00:05:16,639 --> 00:05:19,440
my only question is if it comes due next

101
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,360
August, are we going to need that money

102
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:26,870
for something? Um but

103
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,320
» you're not losing anything if you we

104
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,880
have to pull it out earlier. Yeah,

105
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,240
>> that's true. That's true.

106
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,240
>> And we have some funding. So

107
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,360
>> yeah. So,

108
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,560
>> okay.

109
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,000
>> Go with the better interest rate.

110
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,440
>> So, we'll go with the better interest

111
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,000
rate.

112
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,280
>> So, somebody need I will make

113
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:46,800
um I will move that we

114
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:52,560
>> renew our our two Mnt Bank CDs for a

115
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,280
full year.

116
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:55,759
>> For a full year. I'll second.

117
00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:57,120
>> All those in favor?

118
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:57,680
>> I.

119
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,160
>> Those opposed?

120
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,960
>> The eyes have it. And then we need an

121
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,360
approval for the

122
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,160
um

123
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:06,560
>> budget

124
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,800
>> for the report.

125
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,080
>> Who seconded the motion for um

126
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:18,584
>> Melissa? Good.

127
00:06:18,594 --> 00:06:19,280
[clears throat]

128
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:22,160
>> I will move that we accept we approve

129
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,800
the treasures report

130
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,440
of July 31st.

131
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,199
>> Yeah. Thank you. July 31st,

132
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:36,870
2026.

133
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,560
» I'll second.

134
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,560
>> All those in favor?

135
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:40,880
>> I.

136
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:45,680
>> Those opposed? The eyes have it.

137
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,520
>> I mean, it's really hard to know how

138
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,919
well we're doing since it's really only

139
00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:54,080
one month into the into the fiscal year.

140
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,680
>> Um, before we get going, did do you need

141
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,759
to talk about something? I I didn't know

142
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:03,599
if Jenny had it on the agenda. The um

143
00:07:03,599 --> 00:07:05,599
don't issue. [snorts]

144
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:08,080
>> Thank you.

145
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,120
[clears throat]

146
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,520
>> So, um if I may have two minutes. Um

147
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,199
I've cleaned this library for 10 years

148
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:18,720
and I've taken the trash to the dump and

149
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,440
no one cared. But now they've really,

150
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,440
you know, they'll arrest me if I show up

151
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,000
without a sticker. And since this is my

152
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,000
job, I use my car. Um, and I don't have

153
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,960
a sticker. Uh, so Hugh has used his

154
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,120
truck um, and taken stuff, but yeah, he

155
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,720
doesn't really like to take his truck

156
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:39,759
cuz, you know.

157
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:42,000
>> So, do you want us to buy you a sticker?

158
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
>> I I think honestly I think you should go

159
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,000
to the town and say the town municipal

160
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,280
library and, you know, we should have a

161
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,479
sticker. And I don't go to the dump only

162
00:07:54,479 --> 00:07:58,400
with the library. Um

163
00:07:58,400 --> 00:07:58,720
trash

164
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,479
>> the transfer station. You mean?

165
00:08:00,479 --> 00:08:04,560
>> Yeah. No. No. I mean don't. [laughter]

166
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:05,520
>> I flipped your

167
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,039
>> And are they are they charging you for

168
00:08:09,039 --> 00:08:13,599
>> No, I No, they haven't charged me. Um I

169
00:08:13,599 --> 00:08:16,240
haven't had a problem there. And I don't

170
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,160
suspect they will, but I don't know. I

171
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,479
just, you know, I don't want the town

172
00:08:20,479 --> 00:08:22,960
clerk arrested for not having a state

173
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,120
>> and and and we don't either.

174
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,599
>> So I, you know,

175
00:08:27,599 --> 00:08:29,759
>> I suppose we can actually

176
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:31,360
>> go to the select board.

177
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,919
>> My first question is is is that your

178
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:34,560
job?

179
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:35,519
>> What? To go to the dump?

180
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:36,000
>> Yeah.

181
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:36,959
>> Yes, it is.

182
00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:38,159
>> She's a custodian.

183
00:08:38,159 --> 00:08:40,880
>> Yeah, that's part of my custodial duties

184
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:41,760
>> for here.

185
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:42,159
>> Yes.

186
00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:42,640
>> Right.

187
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,519
>> Yes. But I'm asking for the town itself

188
00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:46,320
for the

189
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,959
>> No, they they see they pick up there's

190
00:08:48,959 --> 00:08:50,800
somebody that picks up their trash. But

191
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,040
for 10 years, I have, you know, taken

192
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,040
the garbage from here.

193
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,440
>> So they pay for a service to be have it

194
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,200
picked up or somebody in the town picks

195
00:08:59,200 --> 00:08:59,839
it up?

196
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:01,279
>> Yeah. Somebody comes in every now and

197
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:04,240
again and and grabs their stuff. But I

198
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,399
have and I don't mind doing it. It's not

199
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:08,959
It's And I always say I've never I've

200
00:09:08,959 --> 00:09:11,600
never had a sticker. and saw, you know,

201
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,000
everyone knows that I'm coming for the

202
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,200
library. Of course,

203
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,399
>> except for the new guys.

204
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:18,720
>> The new guys. But I said when I when I

205
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,640
went with um Hugh drove his truck cuz I

206
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,519
hadn't been in two months waiting for

207
00:09:25,519 --> 00:09:27,839
something waiting for kind of fallout to

208
00:09:27,839 --> 00:09:31,440
happen. Um, and I've actually even

209
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,200
talked to people within the office to

210
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:34,959
say, you know, maybe people who work for

211
00:09:34,959 --> 00:09:37,680
the town in some capacity like this has

212
00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:39,920
a different color sticker that allows

213
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,800
them in. Um,

214
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,720
I don't know. I've never floated that

215
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,519
idea to the board, um, the select board,

216
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:49,360
but it it doesn't make sense that the

217
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,360
library should have to pay. And, you

218
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,200
know, cross my heart, hope to die. You

219
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,200
know, I I don't go to the dump just

220
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,160
randomly with my car. So, it's only the

221
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,000
library stuff that goes,

222
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,800
but that needs to be brought up to the select board, but you know, it's

223
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,519
not that it's not my place as as a

224
00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:10,800
janitor to do it.

225
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,600
>> And we we we

226
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,200
currently would have to go to Terry

227
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,240
Perry.

228
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,720
>> I think that would be a select board

229
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,000
>> a select board issue.

230
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,200
>> That would be more of a select board

231
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,360
issue. So,

232
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,360
>> do we submit it? Do we submit it to

233
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,040
Terry and Bill and ask to be put on the

234
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,279
>> the agenda for the select board?

235
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:34,959
>> Yeah,

236
00:10:34,959 --> 00:10:37,600
>> I think that's probably our next step.

237
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,120
>> And when is the next meeting? 15th.

238
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:45,350
>> I'm not going to be here.

239
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,720
» September 15th, which is a Tuesday.

240

>> BCA meeting before.

00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:12,160
get you to take it. You know,

252

00:13:43,839 --> 00:13:46,560
losing money and that was the issue.

August.

328
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,440
Uh we open 22 days. Uh circulation was

329
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,320
846 items.

330
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:31,269
Um,

331
00:14:31,279 --> 00:14:36,079
I took in 71 new books and I did some

332
00:14:36,079 --> 00:14:38,800
weeding of the fiction section

333
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,199
mostly.

334
00:14:41,199 --> 00:14:42,880
Um,

335
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,800
we had six new library cards.

336
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,519
One was paid with a check. So, when we

337
00:14:49,519 --> 00:14:52,240
get down here to petty cash, that's the

338
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:58,310
um discrepancy [music] down there.

339
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,079
I don't like the way we record Wi-Fi,

340
00:15:00,079 --> 00:15:02,639
but that's what I

341
00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:05,680
saw. Um, and then the signatures for the

342
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,199
computer.

343
00:15:07,199 --> 00:15:13,110
Um, volunteer hours are 11675.

344
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,680
And then the pettic

345
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:21,110
you can see down there.

346
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,360
Sorry, it's copied funky. So when you

347
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,519
flip it over, it's upside down. Um,

348
00:15:25,519 --> 00:15:29,279
genealogology club met um second time

349
00:15:29,279 --> 00:15:31,120

350
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,320
attendance with Zoom for total. Um, book

351
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,560
club discussed braiding sweetg grass. We

352
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,320
had a

353
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,399
lot of discussion. Not a lot of people

354
00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:41,600
finish the book, but a lot of

355
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,760
discussion. Um, next we're reading The

356
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,639
Vatican Conspiracy by Peter Hopen Camp

357
00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:49,600
and I'm working with him to come talk at

358
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,480
the library in October sometime

359
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,480
hopefully.

360
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,310
Um,

361
00:15:56,310 --> 00:15:56,959

August take and make was a pipe cleaner

363
00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:01,279
rainbow and everyone was taken. And then

364
00:16:01,279 --> 00:16:03,040
we have this cute little welcome fall

365
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,920
sticker hanger. It's a simple task.

366
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,480
um small hands can do it really easily

367
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,519
or difficult fingers. Uh story time had

368
00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:16,720
two sessions in August the last two

369
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,600
sessions. Miss Nadler and Miss Mingo um

370
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,120
read

371
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:26,240
and uh 25 kids total. Nope. 25. Yep. 25

372
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,920
kids total and 20 adults. Um very

373
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,759
thankful for all these grave and grade

374
00:16:31,759 --> 00:16:33,360
school

375
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,240
people for coming and giving their time.

376
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:37,120
Uh, Captain,

377
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,800
>> we're really getting a good turnout.

378
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,440
>> Yeah. And the um the

379
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,920
teachers coming were very I'm very

380
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,519
thankful for them. Um, Captain Aquatics

381
00:16:47,519 --> 00:16:49,440
came on August 3rd with all of his

382
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,480
creatures and it was super duper fun.

383
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,920
Um, Lego Robotics had three sessions in

384
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,519
August and the girls did a great job.

385
00:16:59,519 --> 00:17:01,680
They built all these different creations

386
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,280
and used um gears and computer programs

387
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,439
and they put on a little presentation

388
00:17:07,439 --> 00:17:09,760
with the adults on the last half hour of

389
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,559
their time. They did a really good job.

390
00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:16,480
Had a little uh amusement park carnival

391
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,079
thing they created.

392
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:20,720
>> Was Was that only for girls?

393
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,199
>> She only offered it to girls. I think

394
00:17:23,199 --> 00:17:25,280
she she kind of transitioned through her

395
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,480
brainstorming of how she was going to do

396
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:27,919
the program, but she ultimately decided

397
00:17:27,919 --> 00:17:30,880
that it was just girls. Um she was

398
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,039
noticing that as they get older, it's

399
00:17:33,039 --> 00:17:35,440
mostly boys in the programming. And so I

400
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:36,880
think she was very excited that there

401
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,919
were girl interest in it, but so that's

402
00:17:39,919 --> 00:17:45,350
why she kept it only to girls.

403
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:48,240
Um, she did say that uh she'd like to

404
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,080
come back next year, but she'd like to

405
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,039
only offer it to new people. So, not to

406
00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:55,120
have the same girls come through to give

407
00:17:55,120 --> 00:17:56,799
everybody a taste of it if she does

408
00:17:56,799 --> 00:18:00,160
bring it back next year.

409
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,640
Um, end of summer reading um was Friday,

410
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,720
August 14th.

411
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,559
I really wasn't sure what was going to

412
00:18:08,559 --> 00:18:11,039
happen with that event, but we had six

413
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:13,919
um students and six adults come and we

414
00:18:13,919 --> 00:18:17,840
pulled the raffle um prizes

415
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,600
and we did a little story time and some

416
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:28,160
coloring and got a goodie bag to end the reading season. Um and then about a

417
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,240
third of all of the challenges that were

418
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,000
taken out came back um in almost every

419
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,760
level. little less for the mid grade

420
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,440
there.

421
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,200
Um and then the day ended with the

422
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,640
Vermont History Museum and I was a

423
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,720
little disappointed cuz not we only had

424
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,640
one adult one student come to that one.

425
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,840
It was a really amazing um presentation

426
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,919
that she gave about the Wheeler family.

427
00:18:53,919 --> 00:18:56,080
Lots of fun facts, lots of really cool

428
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:56,880
pictures.

429
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,960
>> What town were were they from?

430
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,679
>> I cannot pronounce it properly. C A L A

431
00:19:01,679 --> 00:19:05,919
I S. Yep. um as where the Wheeler family

432
00:19:05,919 --> 00:19:07,360
was from. And so it was it was really

433
00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:09,360
interesting. She gave the library free

434
00:19:09,360 --> 00:19:12,400
passes for families to go to the Vermont

435
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,720
History Museum um for the year. And she

436
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,400
also has a few other programs. They have

437
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,120
a um

438
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:23,280
trivia party that they can do, which

439
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,720
could be a really cool thing to do with

440
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,799
um

441
00:19:28,799 --> 00:19:29,760
Carnegie

442
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:30,400
>> Mhm.

443
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,160
>> stuff if that's something. And it's a

444
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,799
free program. and they do charge travel.

445
00:19:34,799 --> 00:19:36,080
Um that's the only thing they charge

446
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:36,559
for.

447
00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:38,720
>> And I think it'd be great to to do it in

448
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,480
collaboration with the Fair Haven

449
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,320
Historical Society.

450
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,240
>> So that um she said to just communicate

451
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:45,760
with them if that was something that we

452
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,520
did want to schedule with that, but the

453
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,440
trivia's adult people uh and kids and I

454
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,600
think that it could be a really fun

455
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,559
thing to do.

456
00:19:56,559 --> 00:20:01,029
Um

457
00:20:01,039 --> 00:20:03,120
storywalk. I just put storywalk up this

458
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:06,070
past weekend. [laughter]

459
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:11,520
Took four and a half hours. It was it was a lot, but it was really

460
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,000
interesting. Um I wanted to do it all

461
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,200
throughout the summer. I just couldn't

462
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:18,480
find the time to get out there and do

463
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:23,840
it. Um, but I came I got the signs um

464
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,679
from the Sheldon's and I had them at my

465
00:20:25,679 --> 00:20:26,799
house and I went through and looked at

466
00:20:26,799 --> 00:20:29,440
all the books from previous years and

467
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,679
almost all of them are all there. We're

468
00:20:31,679 --> 00:20:36,640
missing one from um the Champ book.

469
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:37,760
>> One page

470
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,480
>> Chris Van Dusen one page from the Champ

471
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:41,280
book.

472
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,440
>> Um so that's the only one that doesn't

473
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:44,720
have all of its bits and pieces

474
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,559
together. You ought to just reach out to

475
00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:48,559
Judy and Nate to make sure that it isn't

476
00:20:48,559 --> 00:20:49,520
stuck somewhere.

477
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:50,960
>> Or maybe it's back here.

478
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,039
>> I looked in here and I found totes in

479
00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:55,039
here and I like had the totes from your

480
00:20:55,039 --> 00:20:57,520
family and um Charlotte and I went

481
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,039
through all the pages and she got a

482
00:20:59,039 --> 00:21:00,480
stack together and then I double checked

483
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:01,679
them and there's that is the only one

484
00:21:01,679 --> 00:21:05,440
that one page is missing. Um so it might

485
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,520
be somewhere it might have been taken by

486
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,960
somebody too. I mean who

487
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,200
>> I guess that's pretty good. I think so.

488
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,200
Yeah, there's what four books

489
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,200
>> uh in total. There's like there's a lot

490
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,200
of there's like 12 maybe there's more

491
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,320
than that. I mean there's a lot of books

492
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:19,200
up there because

493
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,039
>> we did it for several years and every

494
00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:22,400
month was a different book.

495
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,159
>> I think it was every week. You had every

496
00:21:24,159 --> 00:21:26,159
week for a while in there that it was a

497
00:21:26,159 --> 00:21:28,320
different book from that's what some of

498
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,240
the

499
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:31,679
uh intro letters say.

500
00:21:31,679 --> 00:21:32,480
>> Right. Okay.

501
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,830
>> Um

502
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:36,400
so anyways,

503
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,000
>> I think I think that might have been

504
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,679
early when we didn't think it was going

505
00:21:39,679 --> 00:21:41,360
to be as much work.

506
00:21:41,360 --> 00:21:44,320
>> Right. Right. because we I mean the

507
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,400
friends of the library came down and we

508
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,600
>> decorated the pages and things and then

509
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,440
the school laminated them for us.

510
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,600
>> So, it's it's really nice that it's

511
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,080
being used again because

512
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,760
>> well, it was really cute because

513
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,320
Charlotte and I were putting them in and

514
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,720
um I had to go home cuz my car wasn't

515
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,000
big enough to put all the things in and

516
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,120
so I had to go home and I had to come

517
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:06,320
back and when we came back there was

518
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,000
people already reading the story. I was

519
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,640
like, "It's [laughter] not done."

520
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:11,919
And there was one guy who was like, "Oh,

521
00:22:11,919 --> 00:22:13,360
this beautiful artwork in the park." And

522
00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:15,360
I'm like, "No, it's a story." So,

523
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:16,559
anyways, people were already looking at

524
00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:17,679
it the day we were putting it out. It

525
00:22:17,679 --> 00:22:18,320
was a beautiful day.

526
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,039
>> No, they they really do enjoy going

527
00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:22,640
reading the story walk.

528
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,159
>> So, I'm I don't 100% know how to record

529
00:22:26,159 --> 00:22:28,400
statistics for it. Um I guess in the

530
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,080
past, what my understanding is, you just

531
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,880
kind of took 10 people a day and that

532
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,600
was who saw it. So, I'm not really sure.

533
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,960
Um, part of what I'd still like to do is

534
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,880
be I'm going ahead of myself, but I'm

535
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,039
gonna that anyways. I'm not doing story

536
00:22:43,039 --> 00:22:45,440
time in September because it I have a

537
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,159
class um cataloging class that's exact

538
00:22:48,159 --> 00:22:50,720
time of story time and so I'm not doing

539
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,240
it also because it's the beginning of

540
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,840
the school year and I just think it's

541
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,960
too much in general. So, I was hoping

542
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,640
that I could make a sign that says,

543
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,159
"Come to the library for a little

544
00:23:00,159 --> 00:23:02,880
take-home craft for your story time that

545
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,679
is simple that you could do at home.

546
00:23:05,679 --> 00:23:07,600
it would be like this is the story time

547
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:12,720
in the park as well. Um, so I haven't

548
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,120
completed that part of it yet. I still

549
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:17,440
have to work on that part. And I also

550
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,159
haven't put a a sign up really

551
00:23:20,159 --> 00:23:21,919
indicating exactly what it is. There's

552
00:23:21,919 --> 00:23:23,760
the map and then there's a start of the

553
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,080
book, but there's no like sign created

554
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,760
yet um to tell people what it is and

555
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,640
what's going on cuz the ones that were

556
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,919
created are dated and so I couldn't

557
00:23:35,919 --> 00:23:37,760
reuse those completely,

558
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,280
>> right? Cuz they were usually dedicated

559
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,840
in memory or in honor of someone.

560
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:46,159
>> And I also along the way posts have been

561
00:23:46,159 --> 00:23:48,240
are I don't have all the posts that came

562
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,720
with it too. So, I had to adapt some of

563
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,640
them and I believe that Nate might have

564
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,200
used some of them for other purposes and

565
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:56,400
they've

566
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,400
>> that's what they are. Or maybe

567
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,240
>> I know several got run over.

568
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,480
>> Somebody ran over. Okay. [laughter]

569
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,799
Okay. So, there's a few that are not

570
00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:06,240
there. So, I had to adapt some of them

571
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,640
to make it all all work, but it is out

572
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,120
there. And I'm hoping that I can change

573
00:24:11,120 --> 00:24:13,440
the story weekly and have a craft of

574
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,360
some sort that people can come in and

575
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:17,279
get the craft and that can be a way that

576
00:24:17,279 --> 00:24:19,840
I count

577
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,200
who's using it. Right.

578
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:22,640
>> That's that was what

579
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,480
>> we did that before. We we did that

580
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,080
before that there was something that

581
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,240
they could pick up, some prize that they

582
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,240
could pick up at the library after they

583
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:30,799
went

584
00:24:30,799 --> 00:24:32,799
>> sort of like a scavenger hunt kind of

585
00:24:32,799 --> 00:24:35,200
thing or some little questionnaire that

586
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:36,720
they had to fill out and then they

587
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,640
brought it back and that's how we

588
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,480
>> well they got something and

589
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,080
>> and I'm sure there's people that went to

590
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,840
the story walk that didn't come to the

591
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,320
library. just part of it being in the

592
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:47,200
park and being

593
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:48,640
>> and now that school's in session, I

594
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,279
don't know if they have to

595
00:24:51,279 --> 00:24:53,039
>> if it has to be a field trip to go to

596
00:24:53,039 --> 00:24:54,559
the park. Probably does.

597
00:24:54,559 --> 00:24:54,960
>> Yeah.

598
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,799
>> But [clears throat] but even in the

599
00:24:56,799 --> 00:24:58,000
past, you know,

600
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,440
>> who who I I'm not like

601
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,440
>> it'd be nice to, you know, to take the

602
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,880
kids out to to read the story.

603
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,400
So anyways, it's there and I'm hoping to

604
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,559
keep it up through the first week in

605
00:25:08,559 --> 00:25:11,200
October because that is what my class is

606
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,279
and so I'll take it down then and I'll

607
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:15,840
put it away. Um I'm think I'm going to

608
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,480
try to use the little space under the

609
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:23,360
stairs to put the posts in

610
00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:26,400
um to store them cuz I don't have a

611
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,360
spare piece at my house to put them.

612
00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:31,200
>> Yeah. And Judy didn't want them back.

613
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,400
>> No, she doesn't want them back. So we'll

614
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,400
put them in that area. So that's kind

615
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:35,679
>> we have a little bit of space under

616
00:25:35,679 --> 00:25:36,960
there, I think. Y

617
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,480
>> there might be a space in the other far

618
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:39,840
corner over here, but I feel like under

619
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,200
the stairs is out of

620
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,360
>> I think it's safer. That's too close to

621
00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:44,480
the you know.

622
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,480
>> Okay,

623
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:47,919
so that's kind of my thought with that.

624
00:25:47,919 --> 00:25:51,279
So that is um Oh, that was my upcoming

625
00:25:51,279 --> 00:25:52,799
programs. So that's my big thing for

626
00:25:52,799 --> 00:25:54,400
September. I don't have a lot of other

627
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,320
things planned in September right now.

628
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,600
Um the friends of the library do have

629
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,520
their book sale on the 19th from 10:00

630
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,440
to 12:00. It's the same day as the Apple

631
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,159
Fest. Um, so hopefully it'll get people

632
00:26:04,159 --> 00:26:08,240
in here um to play around.

633
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,480
Um, the meeting space was used as a

634
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,279
workspace and then for the one party.

635
00:26:13,279 --> 00:26:15,120
Um, and then the friends of the library

636
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:17,840
have met three times. I think I put down

637
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,440
in here August 12th for their creating

638
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,559
the angel design. Um, 18th to do the

639
00:26:24,559 --> 00:26:27,679
book sort and the 26th to create

640
00:26:27,679 --> 00:26:31,919
creation of the Christmas angels. Um,

641
00:26:31,919 --> 00:26:34,960
I actually I do you want to share what

642
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,200
the design is?

643
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:38,799
>> Oh. Um yeah, we

644
00:26:38,799 --> 00:26:40,080
>> Well, it's time secret.

645
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,520
>> Well, I don't know. I mean, [laughter]

646
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,840
maybe it is. The reveal has to wait till

647
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,559
>> the friends do sort of keep that design

648
00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:53,360
secret until until they come to

649
00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:56,000
undecorate the undecorate the tree. Yes.

650
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,400
>> Okay. So, the angels are created or

651
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,799
being decided and they're being created.

652
00:27:00,799 --> 00:27:02,080
They're in the process of creation.

653
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,720
They're meeting again on next Wednesday

654
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:09,039
to do some more creation. So, um that is

655
00:27:09,039 --> 00:27:10,559
that.

656
00:27:10,559 --> 00:27:12,720
Okay. The telephone company, we didn't

657
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,640
have telephone for like 2 weeks. Um and

658
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,360
they finally came and fixed the line.

659
00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:21,760
And within that same time, I finally got

660
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,039
a quote and I signed the quote for the

661
00:27:25,039 --> 00:27:28,480
telephone company. Um, and I spoke to

662
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,880
this other gentleman about starting it

663
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,919
up and he was going to contact me for a

664
00:27:33,919 --> 00:27:37,200
date to transition

665
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,720
and I haven't heard back from him for a

666
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,440
date to transition yet. So, we are in

667
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,080
that limbo.

668
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,640
Signed quotes for the transition time

669
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,039
frame.

670
00:27:49,039 --> 00:27:50,720
Um, Green Mountain Sprinklers were

671
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,200
supposed to come on August 14th. I have

672
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,840
no idea what happened. Um, I do admit

673
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,159
that I noticed he didn't come. I called

674
00:27:58,159 --> 00:28:01,279
on the 14th and then I forgot about it

675
00:28:01,279 --> 00:28:03,120
for a little bit and I went away and I

676
00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:04,320
came back and I was like, "Oh yeah, the

677
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:05,840
sprinkler guy never came." And so I've

678
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,440
been call I've been calling him about

679
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,880
every other day since it came back. um

680
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,720
he's not gotten to call the

681
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,440
>> So I did reach out to and I don't

682
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,039
remember the other group's name right

683
00:28:19,039 --> 00:28:22,240
now but I did reach out to another group

684
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,799
that we had contacted in in the past um

685
00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:28,880
who had sent a contract to be signed but

686
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,039
then Green Mountain came to do the work

687
00:28:31,039 --> 00:28:33,760
and we didn't continue with that group.

688
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,520
this group needs some more um

689
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,200
information from us before they can come

690
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,960
do an inspection. So I can reach out to

691
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,320
them if um like me to.

692
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,240
>> Well, we

693
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,360
>> the motion from last time was for Green

694
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:52,960
Mountain Sprinkler, but if they don't

695
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,919
come, we we got to get those. It's not optional.

696
00:28:55,919 --> 00:28:57,200
>> Got to be done before the end of the

697
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,000
year.

698
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,159
>> So I can It's not an option that we

699
00:29:00,159 --> 00:29:03,919
>> So I can reach out to other company.

700
00:29:03,919 --> 00:29:07,039
>> They sent me an email with some

701
00:29:07,039 --> 00:29:08,559
information to fill out.

702
00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:11,039
>> Okay. um when I which I didn't complete

703
00:29:11,039 --> 00:29:13,039
because we were going I had the

704
00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:14,960
appointment with Green Mountain and to

705
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,960
continue with them so I can find that

706
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,440
email and

707
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,440
complete that part if you guys would

708
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,520
like me to to try to get the spranglers

709
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,200
inspected and I can still try to go with

710
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,159
Green Mountain. I'm kind of worried

711
00:29:26,159 --> 00:29:27,360
about the guy like I don't know why he

712
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,919
didn't show up and doesn't want to call

713
00:29:29,919 --> 00:29:31,919
me back. So

714
00:29:31,919 --> 00:29:33,279
>> yeah. Um,

715
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:34,799
>> do you want Jenny to do it or do you

716
00:29:34,799 --> 00:29:35,200
want to

717
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,279
>> No, you go ahead. Finish filling out

718
00:29:37,279 --> 00:29:38,960
whatever you can with that paperwork and

719
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:40,320
if you have any questions, give me a

720
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:40,559
call.

>> When are you leaving?

723
00:29:42,399 --> 00:29:43,360
>> The 11th

724
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:44,320
>> of September.

725
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:44,720
>> Yes.

726
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,799
>> Okay.

727
00:29:46,799 --> 00:29:49,120
I'm going to write that down.

728
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:52,080
>> Just so that we get that

729
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,200
taken care of.

730
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,120
The royal group came and the fire alarm

731
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,720
inspection happened and everything was

732
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,279
okay. The bill came. I passed it in to

733
00:30:01,279 --> 00:30:03,600
Amy. This was not a missed inspection.

734
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:05,600
The fire and sprinklers was a missed

735
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,840
inspection.

736
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,120
Um, Royal Group wasn't. They came, did

737
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,389
their bit.

738
00:30:14,399 --> 00:30:16,000
I don't know why I have StoryWalk there

739
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,840
twice. Oh, because I wanted to talk

740
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:19,200
about it twice. I think I told you

741
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,200
everything about Storywalk.

742
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,200
We're closed on Monday for Labor Day.

743
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:24,000
>> Yep.

744
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,080
>> And then the next meeting is October

745
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:30,230
7th.

746
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,399
And I think that that is it.

747
00:30:34,399 --> 00:30:40,070
>> Thank you.

748
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,960
My cast class is on cataloging.

749
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:48,470
>> Oh,

750
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,600
but not not like Dewey decimal or is it

751
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:52,240
Dewey decimal?

752
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,960
>> It's entirely all what's in there.

753
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,799
>> It's a different teacher. So, I'm not

754
00:30:56,799 --> 00:30:59,679
sure. Um

755
00:30:59,679 --> 00:31:02,240
I have just on cataloging and I'm sure

756
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,399
that all types of cataloging will be in

757
00:31:04,399 --> 00:31:08,789
there. Oh, good.

758
00:31:08,799 --> 00:31:14,799
So I will just uh did uh Judy Sheldon

759
00:31:14,799 --> 00:31:16,720
come in to you and ask about the art

760
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,159
club using the

761
00:31:18,159 --> 00:31:19,120
>> She did not.

762
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,480
>> Okay. So, um I guess I'll bring it to

763
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,399
the board then because the art club for

764
00:31:24,399 --> 00:31:28,320
the past since co has been using the

765
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:33,600
library um to meet the first Mondays of

766
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:37,120
the month of I believe it's just no

767
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,720
January, February, and March.

768
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,480
Um

769
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,240
>> on Mondays

770
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:45,760
>> at 1:00.

771
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,760
>> Well, I usually show up at 12:30. I have

772
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,640
a key. So, I I let folks in and then

773
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,960
we're always out before Kathy or

774
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:58,159
whoever's working that day um comes in.

775
00:31:58,159 --> 00:32:01,360
So, we've been doing it well since co

776
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,159
but

777
00:32:04,159 --> 00:32:07,760
we get that permission from you.

778
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,149
Room use is your

779
00:32:12,159 --> 00:32:15,190
Yeah, [laughter]

780
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:21,350
you've got the power. [laughter]

781
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,120
Is the board okay with her continuing to

782
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,679
use it on Mondays when the library is

783
00:32:25,679 --> 00:32:26,000
not?

784
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,760
>> I will recuse myself from that one since

785
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:30,080
I'm on the art club. But yeah. Is it is

786
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,600
it every Monday or is it just

787
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,760
>> No, just the first Monday of the month

788
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,919
for those three months because we don't

789
00:32:35,919 --> 00:32:39,360
and the reason we do that is because

790
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,720
we don't like to use other people's cuz

791
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,679
the art club meets in people's homes or

792
00:32:45,679 --> 00:32:52,159
has for about 125 years and um but

793
00:32:52,159 --> 00:32:54,240
during COVID and some other times we

794
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,640
just wanted a place that was spaced out

795
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,559
and was handicap accessibility and

796
00:33:00,559 --> 00:33:04,320
didn't require people to drive.

797
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,799
>> Plus, people that are in the club are

798
00:33:06,799 --> 00:33:09,519
aging in terms of it used to be a big

799
00:33:09,519 --> 00:33:11,679
event to have it in your house, right?

800
00:33:11,679 --> 00:33:13,840
>> And now these people aren't really

801
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:14,960
prepared to do that,

802
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,760
>> right?

803
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:24,230
Some of them are 90s in their 90s. Yep.

804
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,600
But I just would bring that up

805
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:32,549
to the board. It's fine with me.

806
00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:34,640
>> Yeah.

807
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,399
>> As long as it's okay with Jenna.

808
00:33:36,399 --> 00:33:37,600
>> That's right. That's That's right. It's

809
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:38,960
my decision [laughter]

810
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,559
according to our policy. It's your

811
00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:43,440
decision.

812
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,549
>> Okay.

813
00:33:46,559 --> 00:33:48,960
Any other old business? Uh yeah, I

814
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,960
finally got in touch with the

815
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,799
um

816
00:33:54,799 --> 00:33:57,039
door guy.

817
00:33:57,039 --> 00:34:00,559
Um and I also got in touch with Rob. Rob

818
00:34:00,559 --> 00:34:05,840
has I gave Rob Walker some photographs

819
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:08,960
and some measurements and he hasn't put

820
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,560
anything together for me just yet.

821
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:18,079
And I had talked with Steve

822
00:34:18,079 --> 00:34:19,919
I'm going to bastardize his name, so I'm

823
00:34:19,919 --> 00:34:21,839
not going to say it. I will let you know

824
00:34:21,839 --> 00:34:24,879
what that spelling is. He gave me a

825
00:34:24,879 --> 00:34:28,480
price of 29.40.

826
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,240
2,940 for the door

827
00:34:32,240 --> 00:34:35,679
and for a contractor to install it would

828
00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:37,760
be $1,500,

829
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:39,760
which seems a little expensive to me,

830
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,520
but

831
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,599
I said I would bring it back to the

832
00:34:43,599 --> 00:34:46,720
board and I'm hoping that I get

833
00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:48,879
something from Rob so we have something

834
00:34:48,879 --> 00:34:51,760
to go with. Um, I did contact him again

835
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,399
today and asked him if he had a chance

836
00:34:54,399 --> 00:34:58,960
cuz it was uh the 24th was when he text

837
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,839
me last and I said

838
00:35:01,839 --> 00:35:05,760
um I asked him if he could build it and

839
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,520
give us you know give us an estimate to

840
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,160
build it and install and I haven't heard

841
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,520
anything back from it.

842
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,880
>> That's Rob your Walker Walker

843
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:17,920
>> and the other guy was Steve somebody

844
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,920
>> Steve

845
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,440
L U G

846
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:21,920
>> Y

847
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:23,280
>> O N Y

848
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,839
>> B U H.

849
00:35:25,839 --> 00:35:28,720
>> Oh, I can see. [laughter]

850
00:35:28,720 --> 00:35:30,480
>> Oh, Lugen.

851
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,920
>> Lugenba.

852
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:34,960
>> I have no idea.

853
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,400
>> Like I said, I don't I didn't really

854
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,160
want to mess it up. So,

855
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,800
>> okay. So, what would be nice is if we

856
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,960
got a quote from Rob Walker and then we

857
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:46,079
could say we had two quotes and we could

858
00:35:46,079 --> 00:35:48,000
decide on

859
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,920
>> our best one. [snorts] My first

860
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,320
>> Well, they're both less than the ones we

861
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:53,200
got from

862
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:53,599
>> Yeah,

863
00:35:53,599 --> 00:35:57,589
>> cuz um

864
00:35:57,599 --> 00:35:59,599
I'm

865
00:35:59,599 --> 00:36:02,079
Yeah. Um Richard said that it would be

866
00:36:02,079 --> 00:36:03,040
about five grand.

867
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,839
>> Kum. Okay. So, this is this is close to

868
00:36:05,839 --> 00:36:06,480
five grand,

869
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:07,760
>> right?

870
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,960
>> 4500. 4,500. My first reaction is, "Oh,

871
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,720
you've you've got a quote. We go with

872
00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:14,560
it." [laughter]

873
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,640
>> Well, someone back

874
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,720
>> and it's less than $10,000,

875
00:36:18,720 --> 00:36:19,119
>> right?

876
00:36:19,119 --> 00:36:20,240
>> Yeah.

877
00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:20,720
>> Which is

878
00:36:20,720 --> 00:36:22,485
>> Well, actually, we've had we've had

879
00:36:22,485 --> 00:36:24,720
[clears throat] basically now four,

880
00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:25,119
>> right?

881
00:36:25,119 --> 00:36:29,520
>> One was from the um Royal Glass and then

882
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,280
from

883
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,040
>> I can never remember their names over

884
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:37,280
there by Hannerford. Um they were 15,000

885
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,280
and Portland. That's right.

886
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:44,640
>> And Royal was uh 10 grand. But

887
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,680
>> both of them were wanting to place

888
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,760
everything to begin with, but I talked

889
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,359
Royal into just doing the lower half and

890
00:36:53,359 --> 00:36:56,880
that was 10 grand. So,

891
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,240
and we just want the door replaced.

892
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:02,400
So,

893
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,560
>> so do we want to do you want us to wait

894
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:06,960
until we hear from Rob or do we want to

895
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,240
go with

896
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:11,520
>> um if if I can get an something from

897
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,920
him, I will forward that to everybody on

898
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,920
the board and we can work it that way.

899
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,400
We'll do it through emails and work it

900
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:19,040
that way.

901
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:19,520
>> Okay.

902
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,880
>> One way or the other. and and my

903
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,440
reaction is if we don't hear from Rob or

904
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,280
he doesn't get back to you in a timely

905
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,000
fashion, we go with the other guy.

906
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,520
>> And he said he wouldn't be able to do it

907
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:32,720
until next year.

908
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:33,359
>> Okay.

909
00:37:33,359 --> 00:37:35,119
>> Well, I don't think anybody's going to

910
00:37:35,119 --> 00:37:36,800
be able to do it until next year. It

911
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,079
depends on, you know,

912
00:37:38,079 --> 00:37:41,270
>> weather,

913
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,240
» right?

914
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:44,640
>> But still, we get it in the

915
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,480
>> we get on his list.

916
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,400
>> Right.

917
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:49,839
>> Okay.

918
00:37:49,839 --> 00:37:53,670
I did call

919
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,599
John Trac I It might be Joseph Tracy or

920
00:37:57,599 --> 00:38:00,560
it's anyways Mr. Tracy at the glass.

921
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:01,040
>> Yep.

922
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,040
>> And he's got the picture. He says it's

923
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,320
something he thinks he could easily do.

924
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:09,119
Um he said the window would need to be

925
00:38:09,119 --> 00:38:12,000
releted. Um

926
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,680
uh but he is a master craftsman at this

927
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,280
part for those kinds of things. So, he's

928
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,599
going to call me back with a time or

929
00:38:21,599 --> 00:38:24,480
place. I'm not sure he cuz sometimes he

930
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,640
calls the library. So, if you hear

931
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:31,599
anything from a Mr. Tracy about the fan,

932
00:38:31,599 --> 00:38:35,520
that's what it is. Okay.

933
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,920
Uh he lives about an hour and a half,

934
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:42,720
two hours south. Um but he

935
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:45,440
I he he got back to me. It was a

936
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:46,240
>> Yeah.

937
00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:49,680
So, um, I did look I did look up

938
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,839
his work and

939
00:38:51,839 --> 00:38:55,359
>> it's pretty pretty spectacular. I I I

940
00:38:55,359 --> 00:38:57,119
would assume

941
00:38:57,119 --> 00:38:59,599
>> that we want it to look the same. We

942
00:38:59,599 --> 00:39:01,520
don't need any colored glass or stained

943
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,839
glass or anything, just the fan window

944
00:39:03,839 --> 00:39:06,480
as was in the original

945
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:09,200
>> building. So, that's what I told him,

946
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,119
but he said because it's that old and it

947
00:39:11,119 --> 00:39:13,440
would have to be [clears throat]

948
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,200
releted.

949
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,040
But he said there's only a couple broken

950
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,119
pieces and they would be easy to

951
00:39:19,119 --> 00:39:21,440
replace. But

952
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:22,960
yeah,

953
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:29,030
>> question

954
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:30,800
because that is something requested on

955
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,400
the HUD grant. Do we have to No, don't

956
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:34,880
have to.

957
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,400
>> That was not

958
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,560
>> not requested.

959
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:42,960
>> That that work was not considered in the

960
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:48,150
application for the HUD grant. Okay.

961
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:52,240
» The HUD grant was to um do the brick

962
00:39:52,240 --> 00:39:53,359
work

963
00:39:53,359 --> 00:39:54,560
>> and

964
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,320
>> some broken windows but not

965
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,320
>> ceiling of

966
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,880
>> all the windows and doors to the brick.

967
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,560
>> I was under the impression that that was

968
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:08,000
the stained glass window that was in

969
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:09,440
>> That's the fan window.

970
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,240
>> Okay. And that has nothing to do with

971
00:40:12,240 --> 00:40:15,680
the other windows. water damage or

972
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:20,630
anything like that.

973
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:25,750
» So, yeah, that's a totally separate

974
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,000
something the friends have tried to get

975
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,520
fixed for a very long time and it was

976
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:35,440
just Judy found somebody.

977
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:36,320
>> Thank you.

978
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:37,040
>> You're welcome. [laughter]

979
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,680
>> Yes.

980
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:43,760
>> I will send you all of Mr. Tracy's,

981
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,680
>> you sent something out.

982
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,520
>> Yeah, I sent it. Did everybody got it

983
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,520
right with the pictures and everything?

984
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,520
>> Yeah.

985
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:56,640
>> So, I think um I think it's back in his

986
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:57,920
ballpark,

987
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:02,319
>> but um I will give him a call.

988
00:41:02,319 --> 00:41:03,839
That'd be nice to have.

989
00:41:03,839 --> 00:41:06,400
>> Yeah,

990
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,000
>> pretty soon.

991
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,640
>> Okay.

992
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,240
Any other new or old business?

993
00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:17,893
>> Well, yes, we're going to do the budget.

994
00:41:17,893 --> 00:41:19,359
[laughter]

995
00:41:19,359 --> 00:41:21,440
>> Well, that's what the main meeting is

996
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:22,960
supposed that's what our meeting really

997
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,760
is about today is our budget.

998
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:26,400
>> If

999
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:30,000
>> not really old, not really new. So,

1000
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:30,800
>> the budget,

1001
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,599
>> if you look at June's

1002
00:41:33,599 --> 00:41:34,560
statement,

1003
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,680
>> right, you'll see

1004
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:38,880
that

1005
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:40,960
>> where we ended up. Well, first of all,

1006
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:46,720
under salaries, we had $5,000 left over,

1007
00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:48,800
which

1008
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,880
almost feels like, you know, some of

1009
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,520
that some of that is that double month

1010
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,079
that we had. So, I don't know. Anyway,

1011
00:41:56,079 --> 00:41:57,760
that's interesting. [snorts]

1012
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:02,470
Um,

1013
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,480
and everybody got their pay increases

1014
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,640
last year.

1015
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,640
>> I I hope so. Yes. as far as I know.

1016
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:13,040
Right, Jenna? You got your raising

1017
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:13,599
everyone.

1018
00:42:13,599 --> 00:42:15,599
>> Yeah, Amy's pretty good on that.

1019
00:42:15,599 --> 00:42:19,839
>> And see the books. We didn't order as

1020
00:42:19,839 --> 00:42:26,720
many books. That's another place. And I would assume that don't don't you

1021
00:42:26,720 --> 00:42:29,040
think that's partly Jenny you getting

1022
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,040
>> I think it's the Baker and Taylor

1023
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,839
closing and not knowing where to buy

1024
00:42:33,839 --> 00:42:37,760
books from and me learning what to buy

1025
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:43,440
and how to buy. Um so I also there's

1026
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,040
been a lot of talk amongst the

1027
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,599
librarians about um the co average cost

1028
00:42:47,599 --> 00:42:51,440
per book is going up as well. Um, so,

1029
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:52,800
>> so that'll take care of that,

1030
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,119
>> I think. So,

1031
00:42:55,119 --> 00:42:59,200
>> um, the digital overdrive last year we

1032
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,680
increased it to 5,500

1033
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,200
and that's about what we spent.

1034
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:09,599
The media is way down. Um, we've got

1035
00:43:09,599 --> 00:43:13,440
$1,000 there, but we only spent $55.

1036
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,480
>> We don't Nobody's taking out the DVDs

1037
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:17,040
anymore.

1038
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,599
>> Sorry, I didn't take that statistic. um

1039
00:43:19,599 --> 00:43:20,800
with me

1040
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:26,160
>> so we could find some money there. Um

1041
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,880
the

1042
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,359
let me see

1043
00:43:31,359 --> 00:43:36,390
there was one other one automation

1044
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,800
under automation.

1045
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:43,200
Um well no that it's still it's still in

1046
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,839
there what I noticed in July that the

1047
00:43:45,839 --> 00:43:48,400
automation was already pretty high. you

1048
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:49,599
>> $800.

1049
00:43:49,599 --> 00:43:52,000
>> Is that because we have to pay twice a

1050
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,839
year six months around about $800?

1051
00:43:55,839 --> 00:43:57,280
>> That's going to be all right. Okay. And

1052
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,119
the other one is the inter library loan.

1053
00:43:59,119 --> 00:44:02,800
We spent $1,200 and only had 600 in the

1054
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,280
budget and we only had 600 last year.

1055
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,440
So, we [snorts] could take that money

1056
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:08,960
from

1057
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,760
the grant. The grant covers the grant

1058
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,000
pays the other 600. Oh, yeah. I knew

1059
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:15,119
that.

1060
00:44:15,119 --> 00:44:18,560
>> Okay. Okay. So,

1061
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,280
>> but so that shouldn't show a $600

1062
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:22,079
negative.

1063
00:44:22,079 --> 00:44:25,119
>> No, it shouldn't. It It shouldn't. But

1064
00:44:25,119 --> 00:44:28,240
it's very difficult for me to figure out

1065
00:44:28,240 --> 00:44:31,839
how Amy works the grants cuz it doesn't

1066
00:44:31,839 --> 00:44:36,720
seem to show up in her bookkeeping.

1067
00:44:36,720 --> 00:44:37,280
>> Okay.

1068
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:42,800
>> So, that's that's why I I do that.

1069
00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:44,079
All right.

1070
00:44:44,079 --> 00:44:48,240
So, the media, DVD, audio, we're just

1071
00:44:48,240 --> 00:44:50,000
not going to be spending that much on

1072
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:50,800
that anymore.

1073
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:54,480
>> I I was hoping that that is I I advocate

1074
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,800
for not keep putting that much in the

1075
00:44:56,800 --> 00:45:00,000
budget because there's I've have not

1076
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,240
purchased obviously that many DVDs. I've

1077
00:45:02,240 --> 00:45:06,000
gotten some um given by donation. I I've

1078
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,000
only been purchasing DVDs if people

1079
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,079
specifically request them because they

1080
00:45:10,079 --> 00:45:13,599
go out so rarely. What I was hoping and

1081
00:45:13,599 --> 00:45:15,680
what I would like to do is try to put

1082
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,480
some more money into programs

1083
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:23,760
um somewhere so that I could try to have

1084
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,160
um more programs at the library. In

1085
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,040
general, the speakers and program money,

1086
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,920
um, to my understanding, this budget

1087
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,839
line goes mainly to the summer passes

1088
00:45:35,839 --> 00:45:39,839
that people take and use a lot of and

1089
00:45:39,839 --> 00:45:42,319
that are

1090
00:45:42,319 --> 00:45:44,319
$7,500

1091
00:45:44,319 --> 00:45:47,599
per pass per year.

1092
00:45:47,599 --> 00:45:50,160
So, do we want to take like maybe Oh,

1093
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,960
you mean 500 out of the media and put it

1094
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,920
to the speakers and programs?

1095
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,680
>> I would I would like more flexibility

1096
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:01,200
with programming and the ability to get

1097
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,040
programs in here. So, that would I mean,

1098
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,520
if that is something that we could do, I

1099
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,640
would I think we can reduce the DVD

1100
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,599
audio money because I think $1,000 is

1101
00:46:11,599 --> 00:46:14,960
way too much. Um but if we wanted to and

1102
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,319
that was my thought to take some of that

1103
00:46:16,319 --> 00:46:18,160
from there and to keep it into the

1104
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:19,680
programs.

1105
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,520
>> So

1106
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:26,160
we've been I mean some of the um

1107
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,560
data that we've asked you to collect in

1108
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,640
the past

1109
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,839
several months um was mainly for this

1110
00:46:33,839 --> 00:46:37,760
reason. Where are we where are the most

1111
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:42,240
of our patrons really looking for items?

1112
00:46:42,240 --> 00:46:44,960
Are they looking for what kind of books

1113
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:46,880
are they using? Overdrive or, you know,

1114
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:48,800
Hoopla, Overdrive, those kinds of

1115
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:52,160
things. And, you know, put our money

1116
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:53,200
where they want it

1117
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:54,960
>> where where, you know, where people are

1118
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,680
really actually, you know, using using

1119
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,880
it. And like you said, um, you know,

1120
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,280
DVDs for a while there. I mean,

1121
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:04,640
everybody was using them all the time

1122
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,839
because that was now people

1123
00:47:07,839 --> 00:47:09,520
now. They can watch it on Hooplift. They

1124
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,040
want to stream it. Um,

1125
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,160
>> excuse me.

1126
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:16,640
or something like that. So, yeah. And um

1127
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:20,640
and seriously, the $500 for speakers and

1128
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,119
programs,

1129
00:47:23,119 --> 00:47:25,599
was that for summer?

1130
00:47:25,599 --> 00:47:27,200
the summer grant is is

1131
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,119
>> I mean because because the friends at

1132
00:47:29,119 --> 00:47:30,319
the library

1133
00:47:30,319 --> 00:47:31,520
>> do programming

1134
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:32,720
>> programs

1135
00:47:32,720 --> 00:47:35,680
>> um but

1136
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,560
we don't like we don't do any in the

1137
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,960
summer and Jenny might want to run some

1138
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:42,079
in the summer and the reasons the

1139
00:47:42,079 --> 00:47:43,520
friends didn't do it in the summer is

1140
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,440
because people go to the concerts on

1141
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:49,040
Tuesdays and Thursday nights. Um, so you

1142
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,560
know what it I don't have any problems

1143
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:58,240
with us bringing more programming. Um,

1144
00:47:58,240 --> 00:47:59,520
so yeah. Right.

1145
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,520
>> Especially if we've got this digital

1146
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,720
money that I mean uh media money that

1147
00:48:04,720 --> 00:48:05,920
we're not using.

1148
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,160
>> Right.

1149
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:13,040
So we lessen the DVD audio

1150
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,760
down 500 down to 200.

1151
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:16,880
>> Yeah.

1152
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:18,640
and then take that money and put it

1153
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:22,800
towards speakers and programs

1154
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:24,640
>> digital overdrive. But I don't think you

1155
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,319
should zero it

1156
00:48:26,319 --> 00:48:27,680
>> that's that's why I said bring it down

1157
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,480
to like $200

1158
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:32,960
>> from a you're talking

1159
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,599
>> last year $55

1160
00:48:35,599 --> 00:48:39,280
>> $55 and I think I bought I did buy Toy

1161
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:41,680
Story 4 cuz a patron requested it and

1162
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,920
that was brand new and it came with all

1163
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:45,680
Toy Story

1164
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,640
>> DVDs recently and I bought the Penguin

1165
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,280
um lessons and I bought have not bought

1166
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,720
that many DVDs in general. this year.

1167
00:48:54,720 --> 00:48:57,440
I'm trying to think of since the change

1168
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,800
of budget. Um

1169
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,559
cuz it looks like people are using

1170
00:49:02,559 --> 00:49:04,480
digital overdrive.

1171
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:06,480
>> Um I know they're using Hoopla.

1172
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:07,680
>> Mhm.

1173
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:11,680
um [snorts] I think the biggest hit that

1174
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,960
the library is going to take in terms of

1175
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:16,960
um

1176
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:18,079
is the fuel

1177
00:49:18,079 --> 00:49:20,720
>> is going to be our fuel and utilities

1178
00:49:20,720 --> 00:49:22,240
because

1179
00:49:22,240 --> 00:49:24,559
we could see an increase in electricity

1180
00:49:24,559 --> 00:49:26,319
as well as fuel oil

1181
00:49:26,319 --> 00:49:28,880
>> and see we we were over budget under

1182
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,800
utilities. We were under for fuel. Yeah.

1183
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:33,200
>> Yeah.

1184
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:37,599
>> But that's just the luck of the draw.

1185
00:49:37,599 --> 00:49:39,359
Do we know how many gallons we use per

1186
00:49:39,359 --> 00:49:41,680
season? Cuz that's

1187
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,280
>> I don't should be able to figure it out,

1188
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:44,400
Bob.

1189
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:47,280
>> Yeah, I think I don't.

1190
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:49,280
>> We got it for like three

1191
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:50,240
>> 360.

1192
00:49:50,240 --> 00:49:51,520
>> I think that's what we

1193
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:55,359
>> I think it was 360 last year.

1194
00:49:55,359 --> 00:49:58,880
This is a new notebook. So,

1195
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:00,640
>> I think you're right. I think it was cuz

1196
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,359
that's what I got my fuel for about the

1197
00:50:03,359 --> 00:50:04,400
same time that we

1198
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:05,760
>> Right.

1199
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,520
Yeah, because they were actually, you

1200
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:10,000
know,

1201
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,119
>> I know that the off-road diesel went up

1202
00:50:13,119 --> 00:50:17,200
like 40 cents between this last time and

1203
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,280
the time before

1204
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:22,000
and and and all summer long it's been

1205
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,920
fluctuating up and down, up and down,

1206
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,200
and and in July the woman told me,

1207
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:29,680
"Well, the letter's going to go out and

1208
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:31,440
you're going to get this rate." It was

1209
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,079
like it it was wasn't a bad rate. I

1210
00:50:34,079 --> 00:50:36,319
mean, it wasn't great, but it was better

1211
00:50:36,319 --> 00:50:40,160
than no rate at all.

1212
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,240
And then last but then on Monday, I

1213
00:50:42,240 --> 00:50:46,000
called and um and I just asked her and

1214
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:47,680
she said, "Oh, I don't think there's

1215
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:48,720
going to be one."

1216
00:50:48,720 --> 00:50:52,640
>> That That's surprising that

1217
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:54,880
we only spent that much on fuel last

1218
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:55,440
year.

1219
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,240
>> I know. It was It was And

1220
00:50:58,240 --> 00:50:59,520
>> it was a cold year.

1221
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,559
>> It was, but we used less. Well, maybe

1222
00:51:02,559 --> 00:51:03,920
not. is less.

1223
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:07,119
>> I didn't use less. But But see, there's

1224
00:51:07,119 --> 00:51:11,510
another that 14,000

1225
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,880
» that got left. There's another place

1226
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:18,720
because there's 2,000 right there.

1227
00:51:18,720 --> 00:51:21,359
>> I I would lower that from 7,000 though.

1228
00:51:21,359 --> 00:51:23,760
>> I I think I would not touch it.

1229
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:25,520
>> Fuel we leave right where it's at.

1230
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:26,559
>> Y

1231
00:51:26,559 --> 00:51:27,359
>> um

1232
00:51:27,359 --> 00:51:28,800
>> Well, we've got to decide what to do

1233
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:30,960
with salaries.

1234
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,800
Well, we did

1235
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,920
ask for one, two, and 3%. We looked up

1236
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,440
the cost of living and it's 3

1237
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:45,430
2 to 3.6%.

1238
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:48,160
» I know that in past years we've kind of

1239
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,400
gone back and forth.

1240
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,079
Sometimes it's three, sometimes it's

1241
00:51:52,079 --> 00:51:54,000
two, sometimes we want to save,

1242
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,599
>> but we always find out what the cost of

1243
00:51:55,599 --> 00:51:58,160
living is.

1244
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:05,680
But but the thing is that it's almost seeming like if we take this

1245
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,640
digit if we take the media and move it

1246
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,280
down to speakers almost [snorts]

1247
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:16,160
everything else is where it ought to be

1248
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,240
except for the fuel.

1249
00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:21,430
>> Yeah.

1250
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,680
» Did we go over in utilities?

1251
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:24,480
>> I think we did.

1252
00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,319
>> Yes, we did go over in utilities. I

1253
00:52:26,319 --> 00:52:29,599
know5 almost $500

1254
00:52:29,599 --> 00:52:32,640
thermostat just the same. It doesn't go

1255
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,079
up and down like when you close the

1256
00:52:34,079 --> 00:52:37,200
library. Do you turn it down or it not a

1257
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,520
standard procedure to turn it down on

1258
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,160
over the weekend or not? Um

1259
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,480
>> I think I'll just I think that's been an

1260
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:46,480
issue in the past where it's been

1261
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,880
recommended by I think mccclurers to

1262
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:50,000
leave it at a

1263
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:51,599
>> at warm temperature.

1264
00:52:51,599 --> 00:52:54,400
>> Yeah. Cuz the building's too big to

1265
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:55,839
>> to go up and down. Yeah,

1266
00:52:55,839 --> 00:52:58,000
>> it takes it too long to recuperate.

1267
00:52:58,000 --> 00:52:59,520
>> Just keep it at one temperature.

1268
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,480
>> Yeah.

1269
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:04,319
>> But it could be the prices too cuz the

1270
00:53:04,319 --> 00:53:05,760
prices have gone up.

1271
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:07,680
>> Mhm.

1272
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:11,280
>> The usage of electricity is about the

1273
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,160
same as last year. When you look at the

1274
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,400
Green Mountain Power report, it's gone

1275
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:18,480
price has gone up, but the usage is

1276
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:19,760
about the same.

1277
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,400
>> Yeah. cuz there was a hike in [snorts]

1278
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:24,079
>> electric last year and there's going to

1279
00:53:24,079 --> 00:53:25,760
be another hike this year.

1280
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,160
>> Yeah. But we could take we could take

1281
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,400
that media money if we if we're saying

1282
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:32,480
that we're going to if if we left the

1283
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,680
media money at like $100 so that you

1284
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,280
could get something

1285
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:40,640
>> and then put half of that in utilities

1286
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:44,800
and half of that in speakers is is a

1287
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,150
thought

1288
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:49,839
because we do have

1289
00:53:49,839 --> 00:53:53,200
>> Well, I'm here's my car money.

1290
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,359
>> Yeah. Yeah. This is this is where my

1291
00:53:55,359 --> 00:53:57,359
thought is coming in now. If if we're

1292
00:53:57,359 --> 00:53:59,760
going to do that, let's take that money

1293
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,559
from media and put it up with utilities.

1294
00:54:02,559 --> 00:54:04,319
And anything you want to do for

1295
00:54:04,319 --> 00:54:06,160
programming, go ahead and take it from

1296
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:09,359
the Carnegie

1297
00:54:09,359 --> 00:54:11,680
money.

1298
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,319
>> Not too, but not to exceed. [laughter]

1299
00:54:14,319 --> 00:54:17,040
>> Well,

1300
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,972
>> I don't know if I'd say anything.

1301
00:54:19,972 --> 00:54:21,440
[laughter] And there should be a balance

1302
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:24,000
between adult programming and children

1303
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,559
programming. So it's equal or at least

1304
00:54:26,559 --> 00:54:28,559
near equal and I think some

1305
00:54:28,559 --> 00:54:30,720
collaboration too. The friends are

1306
00:54:30,720 --> 00:54:32,640
supporting programming.

1307
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:36,000
>> So I think to kind of you make sure that

1308
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,319
you're on the same page with what you

1309
00:54:38,319 --> 00:54:40,720
know they are willing to offer and and

1310
00:54:40,720 --> 00:54:43,520
make it a collaborative effort with

1311
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:45,359
programming.

1312
00:54:45,359 --> 00:54:47,599
But the the other thing is we've talked

1313
00:54:47,599 --> 00:54:50,800
in the past about trying to get more

1314
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:52,720
children into the library and doing

1315
00:54:52,720 --> 00:54:56,400
these afterchool events. kids kids are

1316
00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:57,839
you know parents are looking for things

1317
00:54:57,839 --> 00:55:01,237
for kids to do between three and five

1318
00:55:01,237 --> 00:55:03,599
[snorts] and you know there might be

1319
00:55:03,599 --> 00:55:06,559
something something there you know I

1320
00:55:06,559 --> 00:55:08,640
mean I'm not against doing adult

1321
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,760
programming but at all but the more you

1322
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:13,599
can get and like you did that robotics

1323
00:55:13,599 --> 00:55:15,839
thing but but that was there was only an

1324
00:55:15,839 --> 00:55:19,839
opening for six kids you know

1325
00:55:19,839 --> 00:55:27,670
there I'm sure you've got lots of ideas.

1326
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,880
» There's lots of programming options and

1327
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,000
oftent times I do feel like some of the

1328
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:36,640
children's programmings like if I do

1329
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:38,240
them with the wreck, they could just be

1330
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:40,800
free and that's not a problem there. But

1331
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:42,240
if you want to get somebody that's

1332
00:55:42,240 --> 00:55:45,359
exciting and fun in, it's not that the

1333
00:55:45,359 --> 00:55:46,880
wreck programming is not exciting and

1334
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:50,240
fun. Let me stop that one there. I I if

1335
00:55:50,240 --> 00:55:52,400
you want to get something different in,

1336
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:56,880
they can be costly and there's a lot of

1337
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:01,440
um other areas that like I I just think

1338
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:06,640
if there was more room with programming,

1339
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:10,480
there could be more options. And

1340
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,040
um and I do I do think that with the

1341
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:14,559
Carnegie money if we can set aside some

1342
00:56:14,559 --> 00:56:17,359
of it and do like a monthly lecture

1343
00:56:17,359 --> 00:56:19,440
series or monthly something that's

1344
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,240
Carnegie History America

1345
00:56:22,240 --> 00:56:24,559
>> Library

1346
00:56:24,559 --> 00:56:27,280
that would exciting

1347
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,359
>> but I'd also you know like if you start

1348
00:56:29,359 --> 00:56:31,359
those routines I'd like to be able to

1349
00:56:31,359 --> 00:56:32,880
continue things like that and we don't

1350
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:34,960
have Carnegie money for forever. So, if

1351
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:38,079
we can increase the budget to allow for

1352
00:56:38,079 --> 00:56:39,839
those options, we can continue with

1353
00:56:39,839 --> 00:56:42,240
those. Like part of it, I'm I am going

1354
00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:47,040
to get children's books with the cliff grant. And so, my book budget is

1355
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:50,880
going to be larger this year, but I also

1356
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:52,480
think we should not reduce that book

1357
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:56,000
budget because I don't want to have to

1358
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,799
reask for more later.

1359
00:56:58,799 --> 00:57:03,280
>> Right. Just my thought to those

1360
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:06,079
parts, too. things are more expensive to

1361
00:57:06,079 --> 00:57:06,880
have and I think

1362
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,200
>> how much how much are you looking for in

1363
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,599
terms of programming then

1364
00:57:11,599 --> 00:57:13,280
>> I'm not entirely positive and I'm sorry

1365
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,920
that I don't have a good answer there.

1366
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:16,400
Um

1367
00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,160
>> I mean because some people will charge

1368
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:19,440
you $250.

1369
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:20,079
>> Yep. And

1370
00:57:20,079 --> 00:57:23,040
>> some will charge you 550

1371
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:26,160
>> and some through the humanities may only

1372
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:28,960
be $75 plus

1373
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:32,000
>> uh travel fees. So, I think there's, you

1374
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,240
know, different ways that, you know, we

1375
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:35,920
can

1376
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:40,559
support the programming here. Um, but it

1377
00:57:40,559 --> 00:57:42,480
might it might be nice for us to really

1378
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:45,680
have a better uh working knowledge of

1379
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,400
just exactly how much, you know, and and

1380
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,760
the friends can chip in

1381
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:55,119
um as well. Um but, you know, that's a

1382
00:57:55,119 --> 00:57:57,200
friend's decision, not a not a board

1383
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:58,400
decision.

1384
00:57:58,400 --> 00:57:59,760
So um

1385
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:01,760
>> how how has that worked in the past?

1386
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,400
Does does the programming ideas come

1387
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,040
from the friends and bring it from the

1388
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:10,640
friends to the librarian or does the

1389
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:12,559
librarian come up with ideas and bring

1390
00:58:12,559 --> 00:58:13,680
it to the friends?

1391
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,160
>> I think it's both. [clears throat] Yeah,

1392
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,079
should be both, right? Have you gone to

1393
00:58:18,079 --> 00:58:19,920
the friends with any ideas yet?

1394
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:21,599
>> I have.

1395
00:58:21,599 --> 00:58:24,240
>> And I know that the friends have already

1396
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:29,109
come with in with ideas.

1397
00:58:29,119 --> 00:58:33,190
So,

1398
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:34,480
» the friends are always looking for

1399
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:35,599
ideas.

1400
00:58:35,599 --> 00:58:38,079
>> We really are. Um, and Jenny's and

1401
00:58:38,079 --> 00:58:39,680
Jenny's, you know, brought brought

1402
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:43,270
stuff. [clears throat]

1403
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,280
» I do like the idea that Alyssa has.

1404
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:50,160
Bring it down to $100 for the media and

1405
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:51,520
audio.

1406
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:52,640
>> I didn't say that.

1407
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,160
>> I thought you said to bring bring it

1408
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,640
down to $100. That way it was still open

1409
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:57,520
and you could still

1410
00:58:57,520 --> 00:58:59,839
>> Well, I mean I I think you still need I

1411
00:58:59,839 --> 00:59:00,480
wouldn't

1412
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,200
>> get rid of zero.

1413
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:04,640
We're not going to get rid of the line

1414
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:05,200
item.

1415
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:08,799
>> No, we So I I do like the idea. Maybe it

1416
00:59:08,799 --> 00:59:10,319
was Chris who said bring it down to

1417
00:59:10,319 --> 00:59:11,839
$100.

1418
00:59:11,839 --> 00:59:16,480
>> Um so if we take the media down to $100

1419
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,559
>> and we need at least 500 in the

1420
00:59:18,559 --> 00:59:20,880
utilities

1421
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,359
because that's how far we were before.

1422
00:59:23,359 --> 00:59:26,799
So 5,000 in utilities.

1423
00:59:26,799 --> 00:59:29,920
>> 500 5,500 for utilities.

1424
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:31,760
>> Yeah. 5,500.

1425
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:34,559
>> Oh, I see. Wait a minute. Last year it

1426
00:59:34,559 --> 00:59:36,640
was4500

1427
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:40,271
and this year it's 5,000.

1428
00:59:40,271 --> 00:59:43,359
[snorts] So we actually spent 5,000 last

1429
00:59:43,359 --> 00:59:46,319
year and we're budgeted for 5,000. But

1430
00:59:46,319 --> 00:59:48,000
you're saying it's going to go up again

1431
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:50,720
>> for next year. Yeah, it's going to go up

1432
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,480
because all these tariffs that Trump has

1433
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,960
been putting on us and there I've been

1434
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:56,640
hearing in the news that Canada's going

1435
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:58,079
to be like, "Yeah, keep it up. We're

1436
00:59:58,079 --> 00:59:59,119
going to raise your rates."

1437
00:59:59,119 --> 00:59:59,440
>> Right.

1438
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,119
>> Or cut you off. One of the two.

1439
01:00:01,119 --> 01:00:02,880
>> Yeah. I'm waiting for Canada to cut to

1440
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:04,960
cut us off. Which Vermont would be

1441
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:09,190
>> So if we go to the 5,500,

1442
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,280
we if we go over, we go over,

1443
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:12,079
>> right?

1444
01:00:12,079 --> 01:00:14,079
>> I mean, but at least we have some of it.

1445
01:00:14,079 --> 01:00:17,839
>> All right. And that leaves us with 400

1446
01:00:17,839 --> 01:00:20,079
>> for programs.

1447
01:00:20,079 --> 01:00:23,119
>> So we'll go up to 900 for the programs

1448
01:00:23,119 --> 01:00:24,960
then.

1449
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:28,160
>> All right. So far we haven't

1450
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:30,319
>> Do you think that would work, Jenny?

1451
01:00:30,319 --> 01:00:31,440
>> We'll try.

1452
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:31,920
>> Okay.

1453
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:32,720
>> To start with.

1454
01:00:32,720 --> 01:00:35,440
>> Mhm. And you've still got car You've

1455
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:38,319
still got some Carnegie money. And this

1456
01:00:38,319 --> 01:00:42,400
would this would ease us,

1457
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:44,720
right?

1458
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:45,920
Thank you.

1459
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:47,760
>> Okay, so let's go over everything else

1460
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:51,119
except for salary. Um, let's start at

1461
01:00:51,119 --> 01:00:54,240
the bottom. Postage, has that gone up?

1462
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,319
Post the price of stamps has gone up to

1463
01:00:56,319 --> 01:00:58,400
81 cents a stamp. So, that has

1464
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,119
increased. I have not purchased postage.

1465
01:01:01,119 --> 01:01:03,040
The postage that has been purchased has

1466
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:06,400
been Amy um buying them for herself to

1467
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:07,359
do the

1468
01:01:07,359 --> 01:01:08,000
>> send out bills

1469
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,640
>> the bill to do the bills and it's she

1470
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:13,760
spent 156 for her whatever she

1471
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:14,640
purchased.

1472
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:16,480
>> And do you sometimes use

1473
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:20,240
>> I have a small rule right there um in

1474
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:25,040
the drawer and um when I mail I have not

1475
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:28,960
mailed a card envelope letter at all.

1476
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,599
I've only mailed inter library loans and

1477
01:01:31,599 --> 01:01:35,200
that is dollars um and then um get

1478
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:37,200
reimbursed through the petty cash for

1479
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,040
those. So

1480
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,760
>> you've been at 150 or

1481
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:46,960
>> Yeah. I mean I've had a role of

1482
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:49,520
because I send out letters when we when

1483
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,160
anybody donates anything to the library.

1484
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:54,480
I send out letters and you know and

1485
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:55,599
that's

1486
01:01:55,599 --> 01:01:57,040
>> well you know I don't want to lose

1487
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:59,280
patrons so that um I have to mail out

1488
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:01,359
letters but yeah

1489
01:02:01,359 --> 01:02:01,839
>> I mean

1490
01:02:01,839 --> 01:02:03,599
>> but you know I because I send all the

1491
01:02:03,599 --> 01:02:05,119
thank you correspondence. Mhm.

1492
01:02:05,119 --> 01:02:06,400
>> Yeah.

1493
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:09,040
>> Okay. So, leave that at 150. Inter

1494
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:11,200
library loans.

1495
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:14,480
>> I haven't heard anything about the value

1496
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:17,119
changing for the inter library loans.

1497
01:02:17,119 --> 01:02:18,640
So, um it would

1498
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:23,040
>> the cost of gas might go up which would impact

1499
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:26,559
>> in general, but they the what was it?

1500
01:02:26,559 --> 01:02:31,599
Six $685 was what the

1501
01:02:31,599 --> 01:02:33,280
grant

1502
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,280
didn't cover.

1503
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:40,160
It looks like $38. Yeah. Got my in $50.

1504
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:41,599
>> Yeah, I think we had to raise it at

1505
01:02:41,599 --> 01:02:43,280
least that

1506
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:50,309
>> $650.

1507
01:02:50,319 --> 01:02:52,240
» The fiber connect. I printed that one

1508
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:55,920
out. You still have

1509
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:59,200
automation and membership dues

1510
01:02:59,200 --> 01:02:59,760
seem to be

1511
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:01,599
>> well the fiber connect that's that's

1512
01:03:01,599 --> 01:03:03,680
zero because we have a grant for this

1513
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:05,599
>> that gets covered but we have to put it

1514
01:03:05,599 --> 01:03:07,760
in the budget

1515
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:09,920
>> right but then it ends up getting added

1516
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,559
back in again. She didn't add it in in

1517
01:03:12,559 --> 01:03:14,640
July but it does in

1518
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:16,480
>> How long is that grant good for?

1519
01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:18,960
>> I think we still have $4,000 I think is

1520
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:19,359
what it is.

1521
01:03:19,359 --> 01:03:21,200
>> Well it they gave us a chunk of change

1522
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,760
is what it is. It's not a grant for the

1523
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:24,480
um

1524
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:25,119
>> okay

1525
01:03:25,119 --> 01:03:27,599
>> for the um automation

1526
01:03:27,599 --> 01:03:29,200
the fiber connect.

1527
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,520
>> So we have 10 that's where our $10,000

1528
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:32,559
CD

1529
01:03:32,559 --> 01:03:34,880
>> and when that money's gone that money's

1530
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:35,920
gone.

1531
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:41,589
>> So that was the money.

1532
01:03:41,599 --> 01:03:44,799
» I think we have it because Chris takes

1533
01:03:44,799 --> 01:03:46,079
out the 901.

1534
01:03:46,079 --> 01:03:49,828
>> I take out money periodically for it.

1535
01:03:49,828 --> 01:03:50,960
>> [snorts]

1536
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:53,839
>> So technically we have $3,000 that we

1537
01:03:53,839 --> 01:03:56,720
have to pay a year for that for the

1538
01:03:56,720 --> 01:04:00,000
>> we get build and Chris pays the bill but

1539
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:02,160
it's from that pot of money.

1540
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:05,200
>> But just because that's the way the

1541
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:07,200
federal [snorts] government

1542
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,240
had had us do that in the past.

1543
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:13,280
>> The budget line stays zero though.

1544
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:15,680
>> The budget line can stay zero for it.

1545
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:18,400
>> We we always put in whatever how much is

1546
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:18,720
it?

1547
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,760
>> No. See the the budget line is zero and

1548
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:23,839
then the money go just gets put in the

1549
01:04:23,839 --> 01:04:24,319
pot.

1550
01:04:24,319 --> 01:04:26,000
>> In the past we've always had to put

1551
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:28,160
enough money in to cover the cost of the

1552
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:30,240
bill even though we have the money in

1553
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:31,839
the bank. Okay, that's just to let

1554
01:04:31,839 --> 01:04:34,160
people know that yes, we do get build

1555
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:35,920
that is the cost. We have money in the

1556
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:37,359
bank to pay for that because one of

1557
01:04:37,359 --> 01:04:38,880
these days

1558
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:40,960
>> we are going the money was not going to

1559
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:41,680
be there.

1560
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:43,920
>> Okay.

1561
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:45,359
>> All right. computers. We

1562
01:04:45,359 --> 01:04:47,039
>> and that was just the way we always did

1563
01:04:47,039 --> 01:04:51,039
it with the um and it was based on free

1564
01:04:51,039 --> 01:04:53,039
and reduced lunch, you know, what

1565
01:04:53,039 --> 01:04:54,799
percentage we paid, but that that

1566
01:04:54,799 --> 01:04:56,240
program's

1567
01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:58,799
>> USAC. Yeah. So then the fiber connect

1568
01:04:58,799 --> 01:05:01,920
we're putting in at $2,000 then

1569
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:09,670
>> I would I would put in $2,000

1570
01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,079
» even though it's [snorts]

1571
01:05:12,079 --> 01:05:14,400
you know and and it's like any budget,

1572
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:14,799
>> right?

1573
01:05:14,799 --> 01:05:18,319
>> We we'll what we'll spend is 2,000 what

1574
01:05:18,319 --> 01:05:23,520
we get in we'll get $2,000.

1575
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:24,640
So it

1576
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:27,520
>> it equals Yeah. There's a balance of

1577
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:28,160
zero there.

1578
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:30,000
>> Yeah.

1579
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:31,839
>> In automation, we're just going to keep

1580
01:05:31,839 --> 01:05:33,440
it at two grand.

1581
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:36,470
>> Yeah.

1582
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:39,680
» Cuz that's $800, right? You said

1583
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:42,880
>> Yes. It It's 800 twice a year.

1584
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:43,280
>> Yeah.

1585
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:46,000
>> So we we had about 500. We also have to

1586
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:51,029
buy automation

1587
01:05:51,039 --> 01:05:55,039
scanner things and labels and yeah.

1588
01:05:55,039 --> 01:05:56,000
>> Okay.

1589
01:05:56,000 --> 01:06:00,480
>> And the membership is pretty good. And

1590
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:03,200
computers, we had some money left over,

1591
01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:05,680
but the explanation was that was because

1592
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:08,079
of the computer that Carol purchased

1593
01:06:08,079 --> 01:06:11,359
that never was sent was more than the

1594
01:06:11,359 --> 01:06:13,440
computer I ended up purchasing. And so

1595
01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:16,240
that is why that excess was there.

1596
01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:18,559
>> And we never quite know what happens

1597
01:06:18,559 --> 01:06:19,520
with computers.

1598
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:21,790
>> They're all working well right

1599
01:06:21,790 --> 01:06:23,440
[laughter]

1600
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:26,240
stay working.

1601
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:28,079
>> So we'll keep that at the 12.

1602
01:06:28,079 --> 01:06:34,309
>> I would

1603
01:06:34,319 --> 01:06:37,670
supplies

1604
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:39,599
» I have not purchased copier paper this

1605
01:06:39,599 --> 01:06:42,319
whole past year cuz there was enough in

1606
01:06:42,319 --> 01:06:44,559
there. I'm getting down to it. I don't

1607
01:06:44,559 --> 01:06:48,000
know what a ream of copier paper costs.

1608
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,160
Um5 $6

1609
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:51,520
>> for the

1610
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:54,400
>> for for a box. 500 ream is 500 pieces of

1611
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:54,960
paper.

1612
01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,039
>> Okay. So, I meant the box of them.

1613
01:06:57,039 --> 01:06:59,920
>> So, it's got to be 50 or Yeah.

1614
01:06:59,920 --> 01:07:00,799
>> Yeah.

1615
01:07:00,799 --> 01:07:02,640
>> So, that would fit in with what's left

1616
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:03,280
over.

1617
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:06,240
>> 18. There's

1618
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,240
>> you only you only spent about half of

1619
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:09,839
the budget last year. Mhm.

1620
01:07:09,839 --> 01:07:12,559
>> But that How much does it cost? Like the

1621
01:07:12,559 --> 01:07:14,799
guy comes in and he cleans the copier

1622
01:07:14,799 --> 01:07:16,160
and all that good kind of stuff.

1623
01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:18,079
>> I have not had him come do that.

1624
01:07:18,079 --> 01:07:20,079
>> Okay.

1625
01:07:20,079 --> 01:07:22,000
>> I might just ask

1626
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:22,480
>> what.

1627
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,559
>> So, we'll keep it at the 18.

1628
01:07:24,559 --> 01:07:24,960
>> I would.

1629
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:28,630
>> Yes, I would.

1630
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:31,039
» And inspection. See, we didn't we didn't

1631
01:07:31,039 --> 01:07:32,559
spend all our inspection money, but

1632
01:07:32,559 --> 01:07:34,640
we're going to, so I would leave that

1633
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:37,119
alone. Um, I don't know if your report

1634
01:07:37,119 --> 01:07:40,400
shows the It was $500 from Green

1635
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:42,799
Mountain Sprinkler in the previous

1636
01:07:42,799 --> 01:07:44,480
inspection and I don't think that this

1637
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:45,280
one shows that.

1638
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:46,319
>> I don't think it does.

1639
01:07:46,319 --> 01:07:47,520
>> Um,

1640
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:50,400
>> so we'll leave it at the 25.

1641
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:52,160
>> I think we have to leave it at the

1642
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:53,520
$2,500.

1643
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:55,280
>> Yeah,

1644
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:57,119
>> I don't think they've gone down.

1645
01:07:57,119 --> 01:07:58,640
>> No.

1646
01:07:58,640 --> 01:07:59,920
>> And repairs,

1647
01:07:59,920 --> 01:08:01,280
>> we'll leave that at the five.

1648
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:08,160
>> I would leave that alone. And the travel in the past has always been

1649
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:13,039
for Terry Deamassie to go to they have

1650
01:08:13,039 --> 01:08:14,240
show every year

1651
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:17,679
>> about different programs for the library

1652
01:08:17,679 --> 01:08:20,000
and uh and Terry's always gone and

1653
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:23,759
gotten all that information. Um is there

1654
01:08:23,759 --> 01:08:27,279
any travel you need to do?

1655
01:08:27,279 --> 01:08:29,199
Um at a couple different conferences

1656
01:08:29,199 --> 01:08:30,799
they're starting to do them together. I

1657
01:08:30,799 --> 01:08:32,400
went to the one in Burlington. and I

1658
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:34,319
didn't put in for reimbursement of

1659
01:08:34,319 --> 01:08:35,199
traveling up there.

1660
01:08:35,199 --> 01:08:36,080
>> You can do that.

1661
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:38,080
>> Um, and then

1662
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:39,839
>> there's a couple like there's going to

1663
01:08:39,839 --> 01:08:42,799
be a director's conference in November,

1664
01:08:42,799 --> 01:08:44,880
late October. I can't remember. I mean,

1665
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:46,719
there are a couple different

1666
01:08:46,719 --> 01:08:49,520
conferences.

1667
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:51,839
>> I would raise it up to 150.

1668
01:08:51,839 --> 01:08:52,719
>> 150.

1669
01:08:52,719 --> 01:08:55,279
>> Yeah, cuz Yeah, if we're doing mileage,

1670
01:08:55,279 --> 01:09:00,080
what is it now per mile? It's like 70

1671
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:04,080
72 and a2 73 cents a mile.

1672
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:07,359
>> So yeah, $50 won't will take you

1673
01:09:07,359 --> 01:09:08,400
>> won't take you far.

1674
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:14,070
>> Nope.

1675
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:16,080
» Yeah, because anything library related

1676
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:19,839
like that, Jenny, um we do cover the

1677
01:09:19,839 --> 01:09:26,870
mileage for you. Okay.

1678
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:27,279
digital

1679
01:09:27,279 --> 01:09:29,279
>> digital overdrive. We went we went over

1680
01:09:29,279 --> 01:09:31,120
on overdrive

1681
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:35,440
>> but but this year's budget [snorts] is

1682
01:09:35,440 --> 01:09:38,880
$500 higher than last year's was

1683
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:40,159
>> 5,000

1684
01:09:40,159 --> 01:09:43,279
>> it's $5,000 but we were going No, wait a

1685
01:09:43,279 --> 01:09:44,480
minute. I'm I'm looking at the wrong

1686
01:09:44,480 --> 01:09:47,759
one. Digital drive. It's $5500

1687
01:09:47,759 --> 01:09:49,679
>> for this year.

1688
01:09:49,679 --> 01:09:51,040
>> which is what was spent last year,

1689
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:52,799
>> which is what Yeah.

1690
01:09:52,799 --> 01:09:54,239
Do we want to keep it at that?

1691
01:09:54,239 --> 01:09:56,400
>> No. Okay. Oh, I'm looking at the wrong

1692
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,800
one.

1693
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:00,239
>> No, you're looking at the right one.

1694
01:10:00,239 --> 01:10:01,600
>> Yeah, I know. But I was looking at the

1695
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:04,960
wrong one on this page

1696
01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:09,669
>> because we spent $5,537.

1697
01:10:09,679 --> 01:10:10,719
» Right.

1698
01:10:10,719 --> 01:10:13,440
>> So, we didn't go over much, but I think

1699
01:10:13,440 --> 01:10:15,120
more people are using

1700
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:18,719
>> So, you want to make it 6,000?

1701
01:10:18,719 --> 01:10:20,320
>> I think, Jenny, more people are using

1702
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:23,120
the digital overdrive. Correct.

1703
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:27,520
>> They are it's used um

1704
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:30,640
>> well we can look and see what our

1705
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:32,960
>> 158 borrows

1706
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:36,719
um this past month and that is about

1707
01:10:36,719 --> 01:10:38,560
consistent

1708
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:39,199
and

1709
01:10:39,199 --> 01:10:42,880
>> does it does it go are they different

1710
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:44,800
prices for different books? Is that

1711
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:47,280
that's the hard part? Audio books can be

1712
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:50,480
about $100 a book and then digital books

1713
01:10:50,480 --> 01:10:54,400
are less or um and then it does vary by

1714
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:57,360
like how long you want the book for or

1715
01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:58,000
how many

1716
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,960
>> how many months you want or

1717
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:05,440
>> things. So it is expensive in general,

1718
01:11:05,440 --> 01:11:07,280
>> but a lot of people are using that

1719
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:11,270
service rather than

1720
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:14,400
I I would I would I know I hate to raise

1721
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:18,080
the budget too much, but um

1722
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:20,480
it costs money.

1723
01:11:20,480 --> 01:11:21,840
>> Go to six.

1724
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:23,760
>> I I would go to six. I don't know. What

1725
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:27,199
does everybody else feel? Yeah,

1726
01:11:27,199 --> 01:11:29,760
>> I think we'll sp Well,

1727
01:11:29,760 --> 01:11:31,679
I mean I I mean we're a library. We have

1728
01:11:31,679 --> 01:11:34,159
to provide books.

1729
01:11:34,159 --> 01:11:36,880
>> Do you want to [snorts]

1730
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:39,760
play with the book

1731
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:41,760
budget

1732
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:44,239
there for that? I mean that's we already

1733
01:11:44,239 --> 01:11:44,640
got

1734
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:48,320
>> you have a better idea of

1735
01:11:48,320 --> 01:11:50,640
how you want to do that.

1736
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:51,920
>> Honestly, I don't want to play with the

1737
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,239
book budget but I that is a I mean

1738
01:11:54,239 --> 01:11:55,679
because That's what we're all about.

1739
01:11:55,679 --> 01:11:57,600
>> Yeah. Yeah. And

1740
01:11:57,600 --> 01:11:59,040
>> I mean, we have to heat the building.

1741
01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:00,800
That's our That's our [snorts] thing.

1742
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,120
But we also want to make sure we have

1743
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:08,149
things to read for kids and adults.

1744
01:12:08,159 --> 01:12:10,400
» And And you know, everybody's going to

1745
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:14,400
computers, but there's a swing back.

1746
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:18,320
That's you know, at at schools, they're

1747
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:20,000
going to they're taking away the

1748
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:23,600
computers and going back to books. So,

1749
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:28,070
we'll see

1750
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:29,840
because but this is after because I

1751
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:32,000
don't have the I won't have the grant in

1752
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:36,400
2028 either. It's this year the 2027

1753
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,480
that has the cliff money,

1754
01:12:38,480 --> 01:12:39,040
>> right?

1755
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:42,080
>> So, it it's it's the next year that

1756
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:44,320
>> So, we keep it as it is.

1757
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:45,040
>> I

1758
01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:47,679
>> or do we need to increase it?

1759
01:12:47,679 --> 01:12:51,120
>> I would say keep it as it is.

1760
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:53,040
and workman's comp. We haven't gotten

1761
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:54,640
anything from the insurance company,

1762
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:55,360
have we?

1763
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:58,159
>> No, we did. We just paid it. And I think

1764
01:12:58,159 --> 01:13:04,149
the bill was just signed upstairs.

1765
01:13:04,159 --> 01:13:07,120
» Do you know what that was?

1766
01:13:07,120 --> 01:13:08,800
>> I don't remember. And it's in an

1767
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:10,400
envelope

1768
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:13,679
when it was a lot. I remember being

1769
01:13:13,679 --> 01:13:16,000
like, "Oh my gosh, what is this bill?"

1770
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:21,760
Um, it was a lot. It was over $1,000.

1771
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:23,199
I'm sorry. Do you want me to go grab it

1772
01:13:23,199 --> 01:13:24,239
upstairs?

1773
01:13:24,239 --> 01:13:25,280
>> No. Well,

1774
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:28,080
>> but the bill comes once a year.

1775
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:29,440
>> Yes.

1776
01:13:29,440 --> 01:13:33,760
>> And it was 13 1300s last year. [snorts]

1777
01:13:33,760 --> 01:13:35,840
>> Um 1350. No, it was

1778
01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:37,040
>> paid 12 last year.

1779
01:13:37,040 --> 01:13:43,830
>> 12,200 last year and we budgeted 1350.

1780
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,880
It It didn't come through on on July's

1781
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:48,640
bill.

1782
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:49,520
on July's.

1783
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:52,159
>> No, it's upstairs. So that's August or

1784
01:13:52,159 --> 01:13:54,640
September.

1785

>> you want to go up and

1787
01:13:58,480 --> 01:14:00,880
>> I can go grab it.

1788
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:06,709
Don't have it down here.

1789
01:14:06,719 --> 01:14:08,400
» I'll be right back. I'm sorry.

1790
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:10,400
>> Sorry.

1791
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:12,480
>> And And if we're if we were going to go

1792
01:14:12,480 --> 01:14:16,560
up 3% on the payroll, it would be 3%

1793
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:18,560
of

1794
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:21,910

>> On [snorts] the other on the other on on

1799

this one here, it'd be that number 3% of

1800
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:34,800
that, right?

>> See what it is at three and see what it

1803
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:41,040
is at 3.2, Chris, because 3.2 is the

1804

1808
01:15:04,719 --> 01:15:06,719

>> Okay, good.

1810
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:08,159
>> Oh, yeah. We'll keep

1811
01:15:08,159 --> 01:15:10,400
>> I think we can keep the same.

1812

01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:19,270
Yeah. 1350.

[laughter]

1816
01:15:23,199 --> 01:15:26,320
Well, that'd be a nice race. Um, and I'm

1817
01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:28,640
because I'm not really sure

1818
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:30,880
>> because we had Carol and Jenny working

1819
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:36,070
at the same time. So, that's that.

1820
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:38,719
» So, do we want to take 24 budget?

1821
01:15:38,719 --> 01:15:40,320
>> But wait a minute. No,

1822
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:44,800

1823
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:46,480
>> not in 2026.

1824
01:15:46,480 --> 01:15:48,080
>> No,

>> Yeah.

1828
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:59,510

1829
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:02,159
» All right. If you take

1830
01:16:02,159 --> 01:16:08,560
3 If you take 3.2% 2% of the 54 274 I

1831
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:11,199
get 1736.

1832
01:16:11,199 --> 01:16:14,719
Somebody else should do that math

1833
01:16:14,719 --> 01:16:26,950
just to double check me.

1834
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:28,960
» Did you guys do fuel?

1835
01:16:28,960 --> 01:16:30,480
>> No, I think we're going to keep it the

1836
01:16:30,480 --> 01:16:30,800
same

1837
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:32,880
>> cuz this is the right 50. This is the

1838
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:34,719
number we're multiplying by. Right.

1839
01:16:34,719 --> 01:16:38,149
>> Right.

1840
01:16:38,159 --> 01:16:40,880
» It's got to be pretty close cuz 3 * 15

1841
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:42,880
is 15.

1842
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:47,750
>> 3.2.

1847

getting there?

1848

Well, if we're going to keep this,

1849

>> but what is that already? What

1850
01:17:34,159 --> 01:17:37,600
percentage did we already go?

1851
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:41,040
>> Yeah, but this is 2027 on this sheet and

1852
01:17:41,040 --> 01:17:45,120
we're deal and we're doing 2020 28.

1853
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:48,480
>> Okay. Yes, it's it's really hard. You

1854

1855

1867
01:18:21,360 --> 01:18:24,640
these changes do to the budget?

1868
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:26,159

1869
01:18:26,159 --> 01:18:27,040

1878

01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:37,520
>> I get 2.3.

1975
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:38,639
>> Yeah. No. Yeah.

1976
01:23:38,639 --> 01:23:41,360
>> Yeah. So, about 3%.

1977
01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:43,760
Well, 2.3 isn't isn't

1978
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:45,600
>> that's a pretty low percentage.

1979
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:47,760
>> Yeah.

1980
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:51,750
Less than

1981
01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:53,679
» less than the cost of living.

1982
01:23:53,679 --> 01:23:56,870
>> Yeah.

1983
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:59,760
» Okay. And so if and and the only thing

1984
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:02,639
that we really did

1985
01:24:02,639 --> 01:24:05,440
we we juggled some money

1986
01:24:05,440 --> 01:24:08,320
>> and and and we can say we're going to do

1987
01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:10,639
a little bit more with but see our more

1988
01:24:10,639 --> 01:24:12,719
with programming was was out of the

1989
01:24:12,719 --> 01:24:15,120
medium money. So really

1990
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:17,920
>> we we we switched the numbers around a

1991
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:21,040
little bit and because we were

1992
01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:23,360
>> it's really salaries and utilities.

1993
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:25,440
>> Yeah. And we don't know.

1994
01:24:25,440 --> 01:24:27,280
>> Yeah. Yeah. in terms of I mean and we're

1995
01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:29,120
keeping the util well we raised

1996
01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:30,960
utilities but we didn't raise fuel oil

1997
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:33,040
because we still came in a little under

1998
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:34,998
and we'll all pray for a really warm

1999
01:24:34,998 --> 01:24:36,000
[laughter]

2000
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:37,440
>> winter but

2001
01:24:37,440 --> 01:24:39,280
>> do you want me to make the motion?

2002
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:42,629
>> Sure.

2003
01:24:42,639 --> 01:24:46,960
Um, I move that we

2004
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:48,880
submit

2005
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:52,960
a budget for fiscal year 2028

2006
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:57,669
totaling $14,2160

2007
01:24:57,679 --> 01:24:58,800
that in

2008
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:00,320
>> 6ent

2009
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:01,199
6 not.

2010
01:25:01,199 --> 01:25:03,760
>> I thought it was 60 because it's because

2011
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:09,679
I wrote 60 down here. 6 cents.

2012
01:25:09,679 --> 01:25:13,120
and to include a 3.2%

2013
01:25:13,120 --> 01:25:21,430
increase in salaries.

2014
01:25:21,440 --> 01:25:25,760
And you can say that it averages 2.3%

2015
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:29,280
increase on on the total budget. 2.3%

2016
01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:44,229
increase.

2017
01:25:44,239 --> 01:25:46,480
Need a second.

2018
01:25:46,480 --> 01:25:49,440
So, it's been moved that we submit a

2019
01:25:49,440 --> 01:25:53,750
budget of $14,216

2020
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:57,679
with include which includes

2021
01:25:57,679 --> 01:26:03,110
3.2% 2% cost of living raise

2022
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:07,440
and is an overall average of 2.3%

2023
01:26:07,440 --> 01:26:09,040
increase.

2024
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:12,560
>> I'll second that.

2025
01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:13,920
>> All those in favor

2026
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:15,440
>> this has got a question I think.

2027
01:26:15,440 --> 01:26:17,440
>> No, I'm just going to abstain. This is

2028
01:26:17,440 --> 01:26:19,840
really difficult to do to get all the

2029
01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:22,080
information during the meeting and not

2030
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:24,320
have anything ahead of time to review

2031
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:26,400
and be able to ask questions and think

2032
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:29,040
about. So it' be nice to review what we

2033
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:29,520
did.

2034
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:32,239
>> Do you want to wait till next month?

2035
01:26:32,239 --> 01:26:33,840
>> I think that would be helpful just so

2036
01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:36,080
that I can kind of wrap my arms around.

2037
01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:38,480
I'll table

2038
01:26:38,480 --> 01:26:42,239
>> Do you want to re But I don't want to I

2039
01:26:42,239 --> 01:26:43,840
don't want to hold anything up either,

2040
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:45,360
but I just

2041
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:45,600
>> Yeah.

2042
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:47,440
>> Well, we're ahead of the game

2043
01:26:47,440 --> 01:26:49,679
>> cuz we don't usually do it in September.

2044
01:26:49,679 --> 01:26:51,520
>> We don't usually do it in We usually do

2045
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:52,719
it in October.

2046
01:26:52,719 --> 01:26:56,080
>> Yeah. Um, Ron's not going to be here in

2047
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:57,120
October.

2048
01:26:57,120 --> 01:26:58,239
>> But that's fine. You guys

2049
01:26:58,239 --> 01:27:01,199
>> and I'm not going to be here in October.

2050
01:27:01,199 --> 01:27:02,880
>> I'm going to be in Alabama.

2051
01:27:02,880 --> 01:27:04,400
>> So, the three of you will need to be

2052
01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:07,760
here. Are you going to be here?

2053
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:08,560
>> Yes.

2054
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:12,639
>> Other other than if we don't approve it

2055
01:27:12,639 --> 01:27:14,560
in October, we have to approve it in

2056
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:17,199
November. And that's when the budget has

2057
01:27:17,199 --> 01:27:20,400
to be in is in November.

2058
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:23,760
>> So, yeah.

2059
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:26,080
See what trying to

2060
01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:30,080
>> should I ask Danny about that

2061
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:32,320
>> the person we ask is

2062
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:35,520
>> so the 4th would be the first

2063
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:36,000
>> oh

2064
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:37,520
>> Wednesday of November

2065
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:38,560
>> I think we could probably

2066
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:40,320
>> I think cuz I think it's by the 11th we

2067
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:41,040
have to have that in

2068
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:42,880
>> something like that to the town office.

2069
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:45,520
>> Yeah. So that gives us time to to

2070
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:46,560
revisit

2071
01:27:46,560 --> 01:27:48,880
>> and maybe by then

2072
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:51,120
>> we're going to try and find out how much

2073
01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:52,880
>> clarity on the fuel

2074
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:53,600
>> fuel's

2075
01:27:53,600 --> 01:27:54,239
>> maybe

2076
01:27:54,239 --> 01:27:56,639
>> and you know and and we're asking 18

2077
01:27:56,639 --> 01:27:58,080
months in advance.

2078
01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:00,159
>> So it's not how much it is tomorrow.

2079
01:28:00,159 --> 01:28:02,000
It's how much it's going to be 18 months

2080
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:02,800
from now.

2081
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:04,880
>> And and we're not going to have a lot

2082
01:28:04,880 --> 01:28:08,560
more information for you um Alyssa two

2083
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:09,600
months from now.

2084
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:12,719
>> No. the the whole thing is

2085
01:28:12,719 --> 01:28:13,120
>> um

2086
01:28:13,120 --> 01:28:13,280
>> a

2087
01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:14,400
>> lot to think about.

2088
01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:15,840
>> Well, it's a lot to think about and it's

2089
01:28:15,840 --> 01:28:18,239
I think it's um especially somebody new

2090
01:28:18,239 --> 01:28:21,440
coming in to look at this budget in this

2091
01:28:21,440 --> 01:28:25,679
capacity. It's a lot to soak in to get

2092
01:28:25,679 --> 01:28:27,526
handed when you walk into the meeting

2093
01:28:27,526 --> 01:28:28,719
[laughter] and then [clears throat]

2094
01:28:28,719 --> 01:28:30,239
okay now we're going to vote on it. It

2095
01:28:30,239 --> 01:28:32,560
just doesn't feel like you've put not in

2096
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:34,000
general. I don't feel like I've put a

2097
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:35,600
lot of thought into it and I want to

2098
01:28:35,600 --> 01:28:36,880
make a thoughtful decision.

2099
01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:38,400
>> Okay,

2100
01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:40,000
>> we respect that. Thanks.

2101
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:41,679
>> We'll table it until November.

2102
01:28:41,679 --> 01:28:44,400
>> Yeah, we'll table till we Well,

2103
01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:45,120
>> yeah,

2104
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:46,960
>> unless you want to do it on October if

2105
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:48,960
nothing really changes. But Jenny in the

2106
01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:51,760
meantime can maybe you know take a look

2107
01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,159
at if there's

2108
01:28:54,159 --> 01:28:57,840
a pressing need um for you know with

2109
01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:00,000
Cliff books and if she wants she thinks

2110
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:02,320
she needs more money in

2111
01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:03,199
>> in programming

2112
01:29:03,199 --> 01:29:05,360
>> and programming and books let you know

2113
01:29:05,360 --> 01:29:07,840
we can we can make we can make those

2114
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:12,390
adjustments

2115
01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:14,080
» and and you know what in the and in the

2116
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:16,719
meantime

2117
01:29:16,719 --> 01:29:18,560
we can call Samson and see how much fuel

2118
01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:20,800
we use.

2119
01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:24,880
>> Yeah.

2120
01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:27,679
Just what we spent last year on fuel

2121
01:29:27,679 --> 01:29:30,000
just

2122
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:31,600
>> doesn't seem like a whole lot unless

2123
01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:32,400
somebody

2124
01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:35,440
>> Is the tank empty?

2125
01:29:35,440 --> 01:29:36,800
>> No, we can go look.

2126
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:37,920
>> We can look after.

2127
01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:41,040
>> Yep. I make uh I move we adjourn at

2128
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:43,120
7:30. I second it.

2129
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:44,719
>> All those in favor? Hi.

2130
01:29:44,719 --> 01:29:45,120
>> Hi.

>> 7th.

2133
01:29:49,199 --> 01:29:50,960
Seventh. October 7th. So, what's in my

01:29:50,960 --> 01:29:51,520
minutes?

2135
01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:54,920
>> October 7th.
