The Board of Trustees for the Marlow Town Library met on February 5, 2007 at 7 PM.

Present at the Library were: Jeanne Kennedy, Chair; Donna Chase, Treasurer; Jan Lane, Secretary; Alice Scharf; and Librarian Pat Strickland.

Secretary’s Report:

The minutes of the previous meeting, January 9, 2007, were read. Jeanne Kennedy moved that the minutes be accepted into the record with the amendment that the Treasurer reported that the Librarian must approve and initial all invoices. Alice Scharf seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.

Treasurer’s Report:

Treasurer Donna Chase reported that the balance in the Business Account is $3,600.23 as of January 31, 2007.

Old Business:

  1. Jeanne Kennedy reported that she spoke with Art Andreason, as we are still awaiting a newer computer for the Librarian.

New Business:

  1. Treasurer Donna Chase proposed that the Trustees open a separate, fee-free savings account to differentiate between regular monies and fundraiser donations. Jeanne Kennedy moved, and Jan Lane seconded, the motion. After discussion, a decision was made to hold voting on the proposal until Donna could more thoroughly check into the matter.

  2. It was reported that the town auditor claims the Library should not have been required to pay part of the federal tax of the Verizon utility bill. The auditor stated that the Library has, therefore, been overpaying Verzion. Trustees are awaiting word on this matter as the auditor looks into the situation.

  3. The Budget meeting with the Selectmen will be held Saturday, February 10th at 11 AM.

  4. The Trustees spent the remainder of the meeting working on a budget to present to the upcoming meeting with the Selectmen.

Meeting Adjourned:

9:12 PM

Next Meeting

Monday, March 5, 2007; 7 PM at the Library.

Respectfully submitted,
Jan Lane, Secretary
