They've done the best they can. <br /> • Helene will make herself available clung February on a volunteer consultant bads. Helene added that she will <br /> be here at least half of the month of February and then will leave for Florida. <br /> At last Trustee meeting the Trustees created groups of 3 subcommittees. Jack Kowalski,Carlo D'Este and <br />' <br /> David Burton have been working in the personnel arena. Jack and David had after-hours discussions with <br /> Helene for a couple of hours;and they also met with Bridget. <br /> David met with Marilyn Farren,of Duman Resources for 2 hours last week. Cold hard facts are that a ern <br /> Thayer,Town Accountant,informed Marilyn that when Helene completes her tenure and money owed her i <br /> paid out the Library Director's salary fund will be depleted and will be short about$1,700 in FY-201 I. Since <br /> salary fund depleted and exha ted until calendar year 2011 (FY-2012),,dere are no funds to pay a new Library <br /> Director until July, <br />
