next ARPA grant was applied for and we expect approval. Funds will arrive in

Building Maintenance – Board asked Michelle to put a
notice in the Grafton News announcing that the board is looking for bids for
electrical work, interior painting and a heat pumps project. Michelle will also
call about the fire/smoke alarm monitoring company.
Annual Budget--FY23 budget was approved, after a brief
Executive Session to discuss payroll. After ending executive session, the board
approved the FY23 budget with the following modification: salaries (library
director, bookkeeping, and library assistant) will increase by 7% and payroll
taxes will increase accordingly, starting July 1 2022. Michelle will make the adjustment to the
budget and distribute to board members. She will also talk to the town clerk to
see what documentation is needed to adjust the payroll with the town.
7. New Business:
Board chair asked that board meeting time be rescheduled,
as most evenings will no longer work with work schedule. After brief
discussion, the board voted to move the monthly meetings to the 4th
Monday of the month from 10-11am. Michelle will alert the Grafton News and make
the change of schedule known on our website.
