Minutes

Monday, September 14, 2020 5:03 p.m. I. Call to Order Present in-person at roll call were Finance Committee Chair Alan Herbach and Member Laurie Metanchuk.

Citizens to Be Heard None III. Discussion of CY2020 Wheaton Public Library Budget Mrs. Adamowski began by noting that employee retirements this year helped with the CY2021 personnel budget. The Friends of the Library is giving WPL $30,000 for next year’s budget. They are also going to try pop-up book sales in the library (this year, near the end of September). The Per Capita Grant that the Library applies for each year has been increased starting next year. Mrs. Adamowski said that Fines are down, and will probably continue to go down so they have been lowered in the revenue portion of the CY2021 budget. Overall, revenue is down around $100,000 as compared to this year’s budget. IV. Adjournment Mrs. Fenne moved and Mr. McHaley seconded to adjourn. A voice vote was taken and the motion for adjournment was carried at 5:46 p.m.
