Board Committee Reports Finance Committee: Tera reported that the Finance Committee held a Zoom conference on Monday, May 11 with Ron Carpenter from Raymond James. First, the Committee recommended that the Library Board transfer $55,501.44 from the Library's Trust Endowment Funds. Then Carpenter recommended that certain Trust investments and equities be liquidated and that these cash assets be moved into stable money market accounts because of the volatility of the stock market. Full details of these financial movements can be found on page 14 of the May Board packet. The FY 2019-2020 budget continues to track well after ten months. Discussed also were the upcoming millage renewal elections for the City of Bloomfield Hills in August and the Village of Beverly Hills in November.

Building Committee: Suhay reported that construction on the Youth Room expansion resumed on May 7. Contractors are currently finishing off the drywall. Painting will start on May 19. Restroom renovation is targeted to be complete by the end of May. Overall, construction has been delayed by around six weeks due to the shutdown. Suhay referenced a detailed timeline prepared by The Dailey Company: physical construction of the building will be finished by the start of July; landscaping will start in June; and the entire project will be finished by the start of August.

  • ALA Responds to Financial Shortfall Doubling Down on Strategic Library
    Executive Board issues statement on ALA’s finances. American Library Association • February 14, 2020 For daily ALA and library news, check the American Libraries website or subscribe to our RSS feed. ALA responds to financial shortfall On February 14, ALA President Wanda Kay Brown and the Association’s 13-member Executive Board released a statement in response to financial shortfalls in the operating budget for the current fiscal year that were first brought to light at the 2020 Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia. It reads, in part: “FY2016–FY2019 had unplanned deficits in addition to the strategic investment areas. The unplanned deficits fall primarily into two categories: underperformance by ALA’s three primary revenue streams and overspending in several areas, with the greatest [overspend] in IT. The result is a financial situation that is impacting all areas of ALA.”... AL: The Scoop, Feb. 14; ALA Communications and Marketing Office, Feb. 14 Doubling down on strategic library advocacy Emily Wagner writes: “ALA invited more than 70 librarians and library supporters from key congressional districts to Washington, D.C., for its annual congressional fly-in—a two-day event focused on training and strategic meetings with members of Congress, held February 10–11. This year, the fly-in aligned with the release of the White House budget proposal for FY2021, which—for a fourth consecutive year—lays out the closure of IMLS. ALA’s incoming Executive Director Tracie D. Hall (right) opened the day by discussing library advocacy and ALA’s unique position in the nation’s capital.”... AL: The Scoop, Jan. 15, Feb.
