The Library is Number 6

Several inquiries have come into the Library regarding the July 29 ballot wording. (See below for additional Special Election information.)

The Library is part of Culture and Recreation, article number 6 on the ballot. Article 6 includes the Library's day-to-day operating budget - staff, books and materials, regular maintenance, etc. Article 6 also includes the Park Commission, Historical Commission and the Memorial Day events.

The Library is also mentioned in article number 7. This item is asking if voters wish to set aside funds for future capital expenditures - repairs, major upkeep, items beyond the regular operating budget. The Library's portion is $5,000 and will be set aside and added to future funds until it is needed.
