Library Director’s Report

  •  There was no circulation report available for January as the bugs are still being worked out of the new Horizon system
  • Fran is working on new policies: a behavior policy, a Patriot’s Act policy and an unattended children’s policy. In conjunction with the latter, an incident report will be filled out by the staff if there is a problem. She is also working on a new evaluation form for the staff.
  • There was a problem with the elevator and the elevator company fixed it but this was not covered under our maintenance contract. Amount was approximately $200.

 

Old Business

  • Community Survey- Jeff has finished the design of the survey and Mark has begun the input which should be finished by the date of the next trustees meeting. Trustees should begin to think of what types of information we want to know form the survey.
  • The Community Calendar- Jeff has been unable to reach Robin Boyd about getting this set up. MJ to email Robin
  • Craft Class- Lisa Gillis will begin a 4 week crocheting class tonight with 9 residents signed up.
  • Calligraphy Class- MF will contact Yolanda Walsh after the March trustees meeting
  • Portsmouth Children’s Museum traveling exhibit- MF will contact them after the March trustees meeting
  • Scrapbooking class- Joy Buzzell has offered to teach this class later in the spring. MF to follow up with her.
  • Oak Point- MJ discussed her meeting with Diane Savoie and the following was decided. The trustees would like to replace the condensing unit and compressor as soon as feasible. To accomplish this, $6750 could be utilized from the A&E warrant article for design and construction management services from Oak Point. The $10,000 in the current CIP account could be utilized as could the $13,000 plus interest in the compressor account. We will appear before the Town Council on February 12 and ask that $20,000 be placed in a warrant article to establish a HVAC Development fund. We can utilize a portion of that $20,000 to complete the condensing unit and compressor replacement project.

 

New Business
