The Board met on January 16, 2025. The meeting opened with approval of the November 14, 2024 minutes (motion by Kliggie, second by Maggie, unanimously approved). The Treasurer reported Revolving account expenditures for November and December for van gas and provided updated ending balances for the Revolving and Misc. Grants funds. The Q2 fiscal-year comparison data report was reviewed with no significant changes noted; the report will be presented in graph format at the February meeting.
In the Director’s report the Board discussed operations items: a decision was made to repeat the scanning accuracy test in six months and to review results to determine if further testing is needed. The Costello Center railings have been installed. A van-rides graph showed an increase in 'Needs' riders; the Board agreed a narrative will be added to future graphs to explain trends. Staffing changes were reported: Program Coordinator Andrew Suggs will be leaving on January 24, the position has been posted, and Mayor Gove has established a new hiring process with interviews conducted by a panel. The Board agreed to reconvene on January 24 to address concerns about the hiring process. Additional information about Board expectations provided by Art will be discussed at the next meeting.
