6. Erica will get in touch with Jay Tucker re: using the BNSYS grill for the Library dinner on Aug. 23rd.
7. A Christmas tree will be planted in memory of Robert Stauffer. Bea suggested that if we are still short on the cost for a new tree then the funds should be taken from the Special Projects Fund. Motion made and passed.
8. The question was brought up as to whether the library needs AC. It was decided it would be very costly and not necessary.
