May
17th 2021
The
1st meeting of 2021 was opened at 6:30 PM with Trustees Roger Daniels, and
Stacie Winsor present. Lorrie Eaton was available by phone. Also attending was
Susan Turbyne, Library Director.
Lorrie
Eaton moved that the minutes from our meeting on October 26th 2020 be approved
as presented. 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.
A
cash flow report for 2021 First Quarter (January 1 2021 thru March 31 2021) was
presented. Lorrie Eaton moved that the report be approved. The motion was
seconded by Stacie Winsor and passed.
The
following concerns having to do with old business were discussed:
·
Furnace Project – Tom Wallace and Charles
Buckley worked on the heating and energy saving projects proposal through the
months of November, December, and January. The drawings for a new hot water system
have been completed by Mr Buckley at no cost to us and a thank you to him has
been sent. Tom is waiting for some additional numbers and will then finish up
the proposal and present it to the board for approval at our next meeting.
·
Fire Alarm System – Our alarm system has
been malfunctioning for some time and money was set aside at the end of the
year to fix it. Due to covid and the library schedule being in flux, the work
has not been completed. We will proceed and set a date for the work.
·
Battery – It is the opinion of the building
safety inspector that we replace the battery that operates the outage lights
and signage in the new entry. Money was set aside for AES Electric to take care
of this at the end of the year but they have been unable to come. We will call
and schedule a date for the work.
·
Maintenance – The town has agreed to take
care of the mowing and Steve Daniels has agreed to neaten up around the outside
of the building. A final check will be sent to Oikle and Sons for cleaning up
this spring.
·
Mail Box – The new mail box has been
installed.
·
Replacement of the apron around the
perimeter of the building – It was agreed to table this project.
·
Closet/Safe area – This area needs to be
cleaned out and refurbished as part of the ceiling is falling down. It was
agreed that we will look for someone willing to take on this “small job”
repairing the ceiling and painting. Lorrie has a couple of people to call.
·
Damage on the roof, loss of some shingles
and metal cover on top of chimney has fallen off – It was agreed that we need to
have more information about what needs to be done. Lorrie and Roger have some
people to contact.
Respectfully
submitted,
Susan
Turbyne, Library Director
