The Chappaqua Library Board of Trustees held their regular meeting on July 20, 2026. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of the June 2026 Treasurer's report, which highlighted a positive budget performance with 100% tax levy collection and some outstanding bills. The board approved staff salary increases effective July 1, 2026, with differentiated raises for full-time and part-time employees to encourage more full-time staffing. There was also discussion about future IT expenditures, including the potential purchase of library machines to reduce ongoing costs and exploring consulting services to optimize IT spending. Additionally, the board approved the promotion of a staff member with an associated salary increase. No new contracts or capital projects were explicitly mentioned, but strategic planning efforts with H2M for a master plan were underway, and building maintenance such as roof repairs was anticipated.
