City of Muskego, Library Board - 7/21/26

The City of Muskego Library Board held a meeting on July 21, 2026, where they reviewed and approved the minutes and financials from June 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included updates on vendor performance, such as the library's book supplier Ingram and cleaning services, with a recent change in cleaning contractors and reimbursement for an erroneous window cleaning charge. The board also discussed upcoming capital improvements, including the installation of sail shades in the theater area, with pending quotes and budget considerations. Job descriptions for a part-time children's assistant and a full-time circulation supervisor were reviewed and approved with amendments, including adding background check requirements. The board conducted a detailed review of the 2027 operating budget, noting adjustments in materials, maintenance, utilities, and equipment costs, as well as anticipated increases in revenues from the Bridges library system. The budget aimed to remain nearly flat with minor increases primarily due to inflation and service cost adjustments. No new contracts were awarded during the meeting, but plans for contract renegotiations and vendor evaluations were discussed.
