There will be a fee to replace lost library cards. Valerie also said that she'll be gone for the next couple of months and wanted to let the rest of the board know if someone wanted to attend in her place.

REPORTS/DISCUSSION/ACTION:

1. INTRODUCTION OF NEW BOARD MEMBER, BETH MOLBURG (NO ACTION REQUIRED):

   Everyone introduced themselves.

2. DISCUSSION AND APPROVAL OF ANNUAL BUDGET FOR THE FY ENDING JUNE 30, 2011. (MOTION REQUIRED):

   Doug Haag asked for verification that the staff portion of the budget is based on a 3% increase.

   There was discussion about the increase in the Debt Service Levy and the impact on property owners.

   Amy Carvalho asked about the decrease in Misc. Professional Services. Some of the money in this category last year was for RFID expenses that weren't spend and won't be needed since that project is done. Also taken out was Architectural consulting fees.

   Amy asked about the difference between the total tax rate on the final budget vs. the tentative budget. The tax rate on the final is a little lower, and that's because the tax payers in Boulder City are paying their taxes.

   Doug Haag moved to approve the budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011. Gary Berger seconded. Motion carried.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Items raised under this portion of the Agenda cannot be acted upon until notice provisions of Nevada's Open Meeting Law have been completed. Therefore, any action on such items must be considered at a later meeting.
