The Chappaqua Library Board of Trustees’ regular meeting was held October 19, 2026. The board approved a new facilities-management consulting agreement with William Calink, LLC, effective October 30: $1,700 per month, with additional hours billed at $85 per hour, including travel time. Trustees discussed the consultant’s value during an anticipated major renovation and the need for a succession plan. H2M’s facility-planning work is continuing, with cost estimators and engineers preparing a final plan for a future board meeting, expected in November. No construction contract or renovation budget was approved at this meeting.

The board also approved a $15,000 engagement with PKF O’Connor Davies for the library’s audit for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, as part of efforts to catch up on two audits and clarify capital-fund balances. Trustees reviewed outstanding checks, including checks related to retirees, and agreed to consult with the auditor and legal counsel about how to handle unclaimed funds and develop a related policy. The September treasurer’s report and bills were approved. No other procurement awards were identified.
