Library Finance Committee

Monday, September 20, 2021 6:23 p.m. I. Call to Order Present in-person at roll call were Al Herbach and President Laurie Metanchuk. Absent: Finance Chair Simone Morton and Joe McHaley. Library Director Betsy Adamowski, IT/Facilities Manager Ed Sirovatka and Library Finance/Business Office Manager Lisa Christell-Sandri were also present. Ms. Morton entered the meeting at 6:27 p.m. II. Citizens to Be Heard None III. Discussion of Wheaton Public Library CY2022 Budget Mrs. Adamowski began by noting that the revenue includes a Friends’ donation of $30,000 and, by using Wheaton’s increased census number, the 2023 Per Capita Grant was estimated at $79,600. She pointed out that the Replacement/Renewal funds were being fully funded and that the Personnel FTE (full-time equivalent) remained stable. She then went over the Library’s budget sheets for each department. She concluded with an update of the estimated General Fund numbers for the end of CY2021. Ms. Morton thought that calling the Replacement Charges (formerly Fines) Fees & Charges was more descriptive. That got consensus from the group. IV. Adjournment Ms. Morton moved and Mr. Herbach seconded to adjourn. A voice vote was taken and the motion for adjournment was carried at 6:49 p.m.
