• COMMUNICATIONS — A Thank You card from WDET News Director Jerome Vaughn, in appreciation for the library’s participation in the station’s Crossing the Line program, was circulated to the board members.

    Packets for 62 Days of Summer were given to each of the board members.

• DIRECTOR’S REPORT

    The library is 41% through the year. Income is trending higher due to monies received under
    Miscellaneous and Contributions; this will be reconciled when the income is recognized in the 
    2nd Quarter Budget Amendment in July.  Some expenditures continue to trend higher: Fringe
    Benefits, due to the MERS lump sum payment that was made early in the year; Insurance
    and Professional & Contractual, due to contracts, licensing fees and insurance premiums  
    having to be paid in the first quarter; Building Improvements, due to construction projects. All 
    of these areas will fall in line as the year progresses.

• 2020 Budget Discussion (Expenditures) 
  • Millage Rate — The maximum rate that can be levied for 2020 is 1.4851 mills; there was a millage fraction reduction as a result of the rise in property tax values in the township and the strictures of the Headlee Amendment.  Davis recommended that the board levy the maximum rate in the 2020 budget.
  • Property Tax Collection Rate — Davis stated that, while she would like to remain conservative in her projections for the property tax collection rate in 2020, she felt comfortable, based on actual collection rates from the last few years, in budgeting based on a projected 99% collection rate.

       The board directed Davis and Business Services Department Head Marian Nicholson to
       use the library recommendation for the millage rate and property tax collection rate when 
       preparing the first draft budget for the July meeting.

       D. Turner reminded Davis that the board would like to see a cover sheet of all board  
       directions that had impacted the proposed budget when she brings it to the board in July.
