• COMMUNICATIONS — E. Davis shared a “thank you” note from Board Chair M. Farell, in acknowledgement of the flower arrangement and keepsake angel sent by the board upon the passing of her mother.
   
• DIRECTORS REPORT — Davis informed the board that the Headlee amendment has triggered a Millage Reduction Fraction (MRF) and the new maximum millage rate that can be levied as of 2018 will be 1.5139 mills.  That number will be used in the 2018 draft budget proposal.

The MERS actuarial evaluation was received and will play into the larger conversation about closing out the employee pension; a special actuarial evaluation will need to be commissioned down the line to analyze the closure of the pension, but this report serves as a snapshot for beginning the discussion.

Davis reviewed the financial reports, pointing out that the library is one-third of the way through the year. While fringe benefits; professional & contractual; insurance; and capital outlay are trending high, they will all fall in line as the year progresses.

Business Services Department Head Marian Nicholson is investigating pollution and cyber liability insurance policies, with the assistance of our insurance broker, Carrico Maldegen.
