Service Fees
Mrs. Kroll distributed a spreadsheet detailing the expenses and encumbrances of the project to date. Mrs. Kroll and Mrs. Sonderman explained the need to increase the appropriations for the project since the Board had previously budgeted only for contracted items. The increases are for items or services that have been added to the scope of the project since it has started. Mrs. Kroll noted that the increase for the Architect are for additional scope and also for alternates being chosen, and the changes for Library Design are for accounting purposes. Mrs. Sonderman reviewed the other items, and also requested $25,000 for furniture for various rooms. Mr. Fonte noted that since we are just six weeks into the project, it is important to make sure that we have enough funds available for any contingency items that may appear. He suggested that the furniture purchases should be tabled for now. After much discussion, Mr. Fonte moved, Mr. Smetana seconded to approve a total of $47,000 in increases to the appropriations as above without any increases for additional furniture for various rooms. Ayes: Mr. Fonte, Mr. Luikart, Mr. Shoup, Mrs. Ziarko, and Mrs. Zollinger. The next regular meeting of the North Canton Library Board of Trustees will be Wednesday, March 18, 2009 at 8:00 p.m. Adjournment: Thomas Shoup, President |
