Library Trustees - 5/17/2021

 

Rumney Library Trustees – Approved 9/22/2021

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
