Business :
Tamara Dean presented a proposed budget for the fiscal year 2012-2013 . She discussed some of the conditions
that influenced her strategy for constructing the new budget. The City Council approved a 5% raise for the City 's
subsidy to the library , and approved a 3% raise for each employee . Great efforts were made in ensuring that every
library employee receives a 3% raise also. Tamara pointed out a few of the compromises that had to be made in
order to accomplish the goal. The employee theft insurance went up 200%; the maintenance contract necessitated
an increase; and the employer's RSA contribution escalated due to an increase in the number of employees
participating .
The meeting was adjourned at 6:50 pm .
Respectfully submitted,
Tamara Dean
