The fourth meeting of 2017 was opened at 6:30 with Trustees Roger Daniels, Lorrie Eaton, and Stacie Winsor present. Also attending was Susan Turbyne, Library Director.


Lorrie Eaton moved that the minutes from our third meeting on October 4th 2017 be approved as corrected. The motion was seconded by Stacie Winsor and passed. The approved minutes will be forwarded to the town office and placed on the Rumney Trustees blog.


Susan distributed a report showing income/expense by category for year to date and Stacie handed out a proposed budget. Discussion ensued. Lorrie Eaton moved that we approve a budget request for 2018 in the amount of $48,551.00. The motion was seconded by Stacie Winsor and passed. Stacie will forward the approved budget request to the town office.


The Trustees were pleased with the new lighting in Merrill Hall. Fourteen lamps with LED bulbs have been installed. The rheostats have not arrived. Lorrie Eaton moved to reimburse Stacie Winsor in the amount of $689.81 for the cost of the lamps and bulbs. The motion was seconded by Roger Daniels and passed. A check was written to Stacie and signed by the other two trustees.


The next step in the Merrill Hall update was discussed. We agreed to gather information about possible insulation as well as wall board. We will share this information at our next meeting.


It was agreed to meet again on Wednesday, October 25 2017 at 6:30.


Respectfully submitted,
