Minutes, Board of Directors Meeting
A special meeting of the Board was held at 4:00 p.m. on Monday,
January 26. All members were present.
The chief item of business for the meeting was to revise the budget
for 1981 in conformity with the revised allotment of $96,261 recently
approved by the Finance Committe of the City Board.
Ms. Foster called attention to the fact that the first payroll of the
year must be prepared quickly and that adjustments must be made because the
original budget recommendation was based on a requested figure of $104,400
for support from city funds. After discussion, a revised budget (see copy
attached) was approved, on a motion by Mr. Shelton, seconded by Mr. Parker.
Salary checks for January are to be based on the revised budget but employees
are to be informed that continuation on this basis is conditional on final
approval of the city's allotment by the City Board.
In discussion of the budget it was noted that a revised lease with the
Ozarks Regional Library is now needed to meet the increased costs of utilities,
etc., that must be met in 1981. Preliminary plans were also made for careful
evaluation of results of Thursday evening openings in order to determine this
spring whether to continue this arrangement.
In further consideration of regular business, approval was given for the
purchase of a new buffer for cleaning the floors.
The meeting was adjourned.
