Library Trustees - 11/4/2021

 

Rumney Library Trustees – Approved 3/8/3022

November 4th, 2021

 

The 3rd meeting of 2021 was opened at 5:30 PM with Trustees Roger Daniels, Lorrie Eaton, and Stacie Winsor present. Also attending was Susan Turbyne, Library Director.

 

Lorrie moved that the minutes from our meeting on September 22nd, 2021, be approved as presented. The motion was seconded by Stacie and unanimously passed. The approved minutes will be forwarded to the town office and placed on the Rumney Trustees blog.

 

A cash flow report for 2021 Third Quarter (July 1, 2021, thru September 30, 2021) was presented. Lorrie moved that the report be approved. The motion was seconded by Stacie and unanimously passed.

 

Stacie, our board treasurer, presented our budget request for the year 2022. After discussion, Lorrie moved that the budget request be approved by the trustees and forwarded to the town office. The motion was seconded by Stacie and unanimously passed.

 

On October 6th, Joe Chivell from the town office, let us know that Old Sweeps and Masonry out of Bristol would be able to come to repair the cover on the chimney that had been damaged by winds last spring. The board conferred by phone and email and took the following action. Lorrie moved that we accept the estimate of $650.00 from Old Sweeps and Masonry and have them do the work. The motion was seconded by Stacie and was unanimously passed. On October 29th, 2021, the work was completed, and the bill has been paid.

 

On October 20th, the boiler was inspected by Stephen C Sawyer representing Travelers Insurance who recommended two repairs: replacement of the water tube indicator and the pressure relief valve. Assistant Director, Jane Kelso, contacted Pemi River Fuels and scheduled the work for December 1st. Lorrie moved that we proceed with the repairs and having the boiler cleaned. The motion was seconded by Stacie and unanimously passed.

 

Tom Wallace spoke with Susan this afternoon and suggested we follow up with Margaret Dillion, the building and energy specialist whom we worked with in 2014 at the time of our addition and have her update her original report to today’s costs. We will request a follow up report after our “Button Up” project with Shakes and Shingles is complete. This will give us a comparison of heat savings because of our project. Lorrie moved that we engage Margaret Dillon to do the energy saving reports for the library. The motion was seconded by Stacie and unanimously passed. Tom will be our contact with Ms. Dillon.

 

Respectfully submitted,
Susan Turbyne, Library Director
