Fayetteville Public Library
November 15, 1989, 2:30 p.m.
Present: Board Members Camilla Crouch, Bobbye Hay, Charles Kirchen,
Foster Park, Carol Phillips; Library Director Linda
Harrison
The Board met in a special called meeting, immediately following the
1:30 conference with City of Fayetteville officials to discuss the
1990 budget. Budget adjustments mere approved in response to indications
that approximately *70,000 in operating funds would not be covered in
City allocations to the Library in 1990. Most of the capital requests
apparently can be funded. Projected salary increases will be maintained,
but approximately *36,000 in cuts elsewhere bring the budget into
balance. We assume that the return of $50,000 in Library funds
committed to the Medark Building purchase in December 1988 will provide
some margin of operating funds at least for 1990 although some Board
members were concerned about possible budget difficulties for 1991 and
beyond.
Library Director Harrison was authorized to make the necessary changes
and to submit the revised budget to the City early next week as
requested.
Respectfully submitted,
Foster Park, Secretary
