Board of Trustees Meeting
Fairlee Library
January 12, 2022
Approved Minutes
In attendance: Cyrie Lange, Beth Reynolds, Charlotte Williams, Jen Johnson, and Joy Weale
  1. The meeting was called to order at 7:06 PM by Cyrie Lange.
  1. Minutes of December 8th meeting were approved unanimously, on a motion by Cyrie, seconded by Jen.
  1. Librarian’s Report: See document included with these minutes. Beth might talk with Frank Godfrey to see whether she can call him when trash/recycling needs to be removed rather than having him come weekly. All Access: our contract allows us four hours of service per month. We need them to come in: the fax machine, receipt printer, and Xerox printer all need to be communicating with the new WiFi setup. Covid: we agreed that Beth needs to let the Trustees know ASAP if she feels the need to reduce numbers of folks in the Library or go curb-side.
  1. Treasurer’s Report: We have received the end-of-year report. We do have some questions on a few items, particularly the electric. Beth will look at details for that line item.
  2. Old Business: Beth will be meeting with the Rec Council and will ask them about helping with a VINS pass.
  3. Library Enhancement Project Report: Beth presented Jay’s sketches of a smaller addition. There are three separate cost units: parking lot/landscaping, new addition and interior renovations, and systems (HVAC etc.) What needs to be determined is what entities or organizations will be responsible for finding funding for the three units. At some point we need to plan for re-siding the existing building. At our next meeting we will discuss likely costs of the outside work and the HVAC systems.
Meeting adjourned at 8:55 PM. Next meeting will be February 9th at 7 PM, in the library, with masks and distancing.
Respectfully submitted,
Charlotte Williams, Recording Secretary
