Councilperson Barown gave an update on the Library. Currently the CV Library is part of the four County Library system and there is a $100,000 budget short fall and one of the ways to make up for this is to charge a $1 for any inner library loan book that gets sent to the CV Library. In the past this service has been free. The last three years the inner Library loan books came to about 2,500 books per year thus generating a $2,300 budget increase for the Town. Councilperson Barown is hoping this does not happen and would like to see the Library not have to pass this cost on to our patrons at the Library.

Supervisor Garretson stated the Museum is getting a nice renovation.

Question and comments from the public present:
None

Motion to adjourn-Councilperson Johnson Seconded by Councilperson Laughlin.
