The Fairfield Public Library board approved routine governance and financial items, voted to recommend a mural design for an electrical box, and deferred final changes to its code of conduct after extended discussion.
During roll call the chair confirmed quorum and the board approved the January minutes on a motion recorded at the meeting. Later, trustees approved the January reconciliations and pending February checks after a motion and second; the chair called the vote and declared the motion carried.
Trustees discussed two items tied to facilities and public art. After reviewing renderings and options provided by the Fairfield Arts Commission, the board voted to suggest the design by artist Justine Sullivan with requested adjustments (trustees asked the commission to consider adding the 'Fairfield Public Library' name or logo). The motion to forward that recommendation passed on a motion and second with a voice vote.
On policy matters, trustees reviewed proposed edits to the code of conduct. The town attorney had stripped a specific reference to perfume from the draft; members debated adding phrasing about viewing 'explicit' material and whether town policy or network filters affect content availability. Given remaining uncertainty, the board tabled that section and asked staff to consult with town counsel and return with clarified wording.
Other actions recorded at the meeting included scheduling and fundraising items (a tentative mural ribbon‑cutting set for April 19) and routine adjournment at 8:46 p.m. (motion carried). No roll‑call vote tallies were taken during the meeting; motions were adopted by voice vote as noted in the minutes.
