Summary
The Stevens Point Public Library Board approved payments totaling $2,253.83, reviewed a May 6 purchase card statement of $18,283.37 and discussed budget timing; the board moved its July meeting to July 30 so it can act after South Central library system budget numbers become available mid‑July.
The Stevens Point Public Library Board voted to approve payments listed in the meeting packet and reviewed recent expenditures and year‑to‑date budget figures.
The board heard that checks and withdrawals since the last meeting included $2,180.94 in checks (copier) and automated withdrawals for phone and cable totaling $125.26, with another phone bill pending for $75.14; the meeting summary listed a total paid of $2,253.83. Staff also noted a May 6 purchase card statement totaling $18,283.37 and said the year‑to‑date spending as of May 22 was 35.5% of the budget.
A motion to approve payments as listed in the packet carried with the members present voting aye.
Separately, staff explained the timetable for the fiscal process: final numbers from the South Central system (SCMS) are expected after directors meet on July 17, meaning the board likely cannot act on a complete budget until after that date. Because county budget submission deadlines fall in August, the board voted to move its July meeting to July 30 (and keep the August meeting on Aug. 20) so the board could review final numbers and act before county deadlines.
Nut graf: The board approved routine payments and adjusted its summer meeting schedule to align with expected regional budget figures so it can consider a complete budget before county filing deadlines.
Ending: Staff will circulate purchase details and the packet lines; the board will expect updated SCMS numbers after the mid‑July directors’ meeting.
