Ad Hoc Committee advances purchasing policy, budgets maintenance discussion
Leach Library Trustees · Meeting of May 13, 2026
NH LONDONDERRY — Leach Library Financial Ad Hoc Committee refines purchasing policy before full Board review. Interim Director Donna Plante presented three years of maintenance and utilities expense data, revealing overspends in the maintenance line and costs tied to the January building closure; Treasurer Azra Palo agreed to consult the town Budget Committee on electric, heat, and water projections. The committee finalized purchasing policy revisions removing "professional services" from exemptions, setting the unapproved-purchase threshold at $1,500, and clarifying conflict-of-interest notification timelines; the draft moves to the full Board June 4 agenda.
A separate discussion of Town Councilor Shaun Faber's proposal to reassign maintenance responsibility to the town remains under consideration.
