Joint Library Agreement The Town objected to the estimated $10,000 Fiscal Agent cost and budgeted only $2,000. Clerk-Treasurer Tellier explained the request for two draft agreements (one for 50/50 split and the other based off equalized value) but the other information in the agreements came from information the attorneys had on file. Attorney Parmentier explained that now that there is a live dispute between the Town and Village on this, we have a conflict of interest since they do work for both parties. Minutes from 2008 do not constitute a binding agreement. Motion made by Trustee Brandenburg, seconded by Trustee Haak, to continue to negotiate with the Town on a Joint Library Agreement and to request a response from the Town Board by December 8 regarding whether they agree to the duties of the fiscal agent. Motion carried 7–0. Next Library Board Meeting: December 2 at 4 p.m. Village President’s Report - Appreciation expressed for staff support.
