What it means: The portico area of the Lane Library is leaking, and causing internal repair issues in several areas. This funding request would address that, and convert unused space into a secure office with the construction of a wall and door. The final cost item relates to a website migration to better accommodate a large amount of historical data that the library has accumulated.
Those in favor say: The standing library budget is only $6,000 and does not allow for more significant expenditures without the support of the voting and tax paying public.
Those opposed say: No one spoke against this Article at the Deliberative Session.
Fiscal impact: Cost per $1,000 valuation is $0.013. A household valued at $400,000 would see a tax increase of $5.20 for 2024.
