An important message from Joe Wertheim, regarding proposed cuts in RAD funding for the Mt. Lebaon Library:
Special Board meeting-Wednesday, July 8, at 4 p.m. in the RAD conference room, 1610 of the Regional Enterprise Tower, 425 Sixth Avenue, Pittsburgh. This meeting is to discuss projected revenues for the remainder of 2009 and 2010, as well as any other matters (which would be the proposed ACLA formula). Public speakers have to register by 10:30 a.m. the day of the meeting; comments are limited to 3 minutes.
Contractual Asset hearings are August 25 and 27 at 3:30 p.m. Same location.
(ACLA is a contractual asset)
Board meeting & prelim budget release: Sept. 29 at 4 p.m. Same location
Budget public hearing-October 21 at 3:30 p.m. Same location
Board meeting & adoption of 2010 budget--December 1 at 4 p.m. Same location
The RAD, however, will not vote on the formula until sometime in September, after they have heard the budget presentations from all the assets.
The RAD Board's next Board meeting will be September 29 at which time they release their preliminary budget. Public comments can be made at that meeting.
There will still be time after that to speak to the RAD at the October 21 budget public hearing.
The RAD adopts its final budget at the Dec. 1 Board meeting.
There is time before the vote to contact the RAD members to express your concern about the negative impact on our library if the ACLA formula is allowed to stand.
Thanks for your help.
Joe Wertheim, President
Friends of the Mt. Lebanon Public Library
