City of Muskego, Library Board - 6/16/26

The City of Muskego Library Board held a meeting on June 16, 2026, primarily focusing on budgetary and procurement matters related to library operations and capital improvements. Key procurement discussions included approval of the 2027 through 2031 five-year capital budget plan, which featured roof repairs, condensing unit and boiler replacements, security improvements, and public restroom renovations.

The operating budget for 2027 was reviewed in detail, with line-by-line discussions on wages, materials (print, audiovisual, electronic), maintenance, equipment, and computer charges. The board considered inflation impacts, vendor contracts, and grant funding reimbursements. Notably, the board discussed vendor relationships with JM Brennan Incorporated for boiler maintenance and the potential impact of new contracts for discovery catalog services. The meeting also addressed procurement-related operational changes such as the use of a Friends group debit card for programming supplies and the replacement of library IT equipment under city-wide contracts. The board voted to approve the financials and capital budget and planned further review of the operating budget in subsequent meetings.
