Library trustees meeting held on 10/14/2025, primarily focused on a detailed budget workshop for the upcoming fiscal year. Discussions center heavily on line-item budgeting, particularly concerning salaries, the inclusion or exclusion of Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs) and merit increases, and the restructuring of budget lines for transparency and risk mitigation in case of a default budget. Key points of contention and negotiation include funding for digital resources (like the GMILs consortium and e-books), legal services, and miscellaneous operational costs like printing, utilities, and supplies, ultimately concluding with the board voting to approve a total budget figure.
