As the meeting got under way, the board
congratulated our Chair, Roger Daniels, for the honor he received earlier this
month when he was recognized by the Rumney Historical Society for the many
hours of service he has given the Rumney Museum over the past forty years. The
Selectmen declared September 11th, 2021, as Roger Daniels Day in
Rumney with a proclamation. Board members, Lorrie Eaton and Stacie Winsor thanked
Roger for his many years serving on the Byron G Merrill Board of as well, and
the contribution he has made to the library.
Lorrie Eaton moved that the minutes from
our meeting on May 17th, 2021, 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 Second
Quarter (April 1, 2021, thru June 30 2021) was presented. Lorrie Eaton moved
that the report be approved. The motion was seconded by Stacie Winsor and
passed.
Tom Wallace, our liaison with the firm,
Shakes to Shingles, reviewed their proposal outlining a plan of conservation
measures to make the Byron G Merrill Library more energy efficient. After
discussion, Lorrie Eaton moved that we accept the proposal from Shakes to
Shingles and move forward on this project. The motion was seconded by Stacie
Winsor and unanimously passed. Tom will forward this news to Shakes and
Shingles and will report back at our next meeting with the work schedule. The
board thanked Tom for his work on this project.
We will meet again in early November for
an update on the ‘Energy Conservation Project” from Tom, an update on the
“chimney project” from Roger and Joe Chivell, a budget proposal and a review of
our trust funds from Stacie, and a discussion on having our building inspected
to help with our long-term planning.
Respectfully submitted,
Susan Turbyne, Library Director
