Thursday, October 29, 2023
The 4th meeting of 2023 was opened at 7:00 pm with Trustees
Lorrie Eaton, Robin Goldstein, and TJ Baumann present. Also attending was Susan
Turbyne, Library Director.
Robin moved that the minutes from our meeting on July 29th,
2023, be approved as presented. The motion was unanimously passed. The approved
minutes will be forwarded to the town office and placed on the Rumney Library
Trustees Website.
A cash flow report for the 3rd Quarter of 2023 was presented
and discussed. Robin moved that the 3rd Quarter Cash Report be approved as
presented. TJ seconded and the motion was unanimously approved.
Old Business:
Charitable Funds Request… At our last meeting Susan informed
everyone that Audrey Blodgett at Charitable Funds in Concord requires an annual
report on the library trust funds. After that meeting, Mark Andrews looked at
our paperwork and concluded that our five funds are savings accounts, not trust
funds. We need to contact Audrey about this and see how to proceed.
Roof… Joe Chivell, the selectmen, and Brad Eaton have been
working together to write the bid proposal for our roof work. Brad sent us a
draft bid and we will wait for the team to finalize it before taking further action.
Septic System… VLK Septic emptied our tank on 9/14/2023. It
took awhile for us to locate the tank and to dig it out. We added a collar to
make pumping easier the next time. Total cost was $748.00
New Business:
Heating Oil… The Town of Rumney has accepted a proposal from
Dead River Company for this winter’s oil delivery - $3.69 a gallon. Robin moved
that the proposal for $3.69 a gallon be approved as presented. TJ seconded and
the motion was unanimously approved.
2024 Library Budget Proposal… The remainder of the meeting was
spent discussing the budget request proposal to be considered by the Town of
Rumney for the year 2024. The proposal will be delivered to the town office.
With no further business, it was agreed that we adjourn.
Respectfully submitted,
Susan Turbyne, Director
