MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
OF THE TOWNSHIP OF NEPTUNE

July 8, 2009

CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL

The meeting was called to order at 5:05pm by Luke Tirrell.  The following were in attendance:

Mike Palermo – Luke Tirrell – Joe Krimko – Claudia Mooij – Kevin McMillan.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES

A  motion was made by Joe Krimko to accept the minutes of the June 10^th meeting.  Mike Palermo seconded the motion.  Motion carried.

TREASURER’S REPORT

• The report was read by Mike Palermo.  Marian is still talking to the municipal software technicians  in order to get the reports to run correctly.  It was decided that next year all meetings will be scheduled  after the 10^th of each  month because  bank statements do not usually arrive until the second week of the month.  Collections brought in $99.02 for the month of June.

• ----check from the trustee account for $3444.98 to the general fund.  Motion was made by Kevin McMillan to accept the report and pay the bills.  Mike Palermo seconded the motion.  Motion carried. 

COMMITTEE REPORTS

There were no reports for the month of June.

OLD BUSINESS

• Marian met with Ursula and the suggestion was that since these will be actual cases on the docket, that we limit it to no more than ten a week.  The Board decided to start with accounts owing over $100 and to report back with results at the next meeting.

• A discussion was held on the holiday structure.  There was a “soft” consensus on being open on Good Friday, Martin Luther King Day, President’s  Day, Columbus Day and Veteran’s Day .  Floating holidays would be given in exchange  for these days.  It was suggested canvassing the patrons with a checklist to get their feelings on being open or closed on these days. The discussion will continue at the next meeting.

NEW BUSINESS

• A discussion was held on the 2008 audit.    It was suggested that everyone read through the  entire draft and report back at the next meeting so that the Board can  formulate a  response to the audit.

• Resolution # 8-09: Hiring Margaret To, effective July 9, 2009 through August 21, 2009, for a maximum of 12 hours per week with no benefits, at an hourly rate of $8.80. Motion to accept the resolution was made by Joe Krimko.  Mike Palermo seconded the motion.  Motion carried.

• A thank you letter from Marilyn Tirrell and the “Get Employed Program”  was read.

ADJOURNMENT

After all business was concluded, the meeting was adjourned at 6:05pm.  Motion to adjourn was made by Kevin McMillan and seconded by Joe Krimko.  Motion carried.
