Votes at a glance: pantry trial, children's-room renovation and volunteer appreciation approved
At the meeting the board recorded several formal outcomes:

- Food pantry trial: The board approved a motion to house a food pantry in the library for a one-month trial beginning when a cabinet is secured. The motion directs the proposer to secure the cabinet and report back on usage and any rodent/orderliness issues at the trial's end.

- Children's-room renovation: The board voted to accept a donated gift and approved using it for renovation work that includes windows, lighting, sheetrock and painting; staff will collect contractor references and plan logistics for shelving and temporary accommodations.

- Volunteer appreciation: The board approved a motion to give a $200 co-op gift certificate to a long-serving volunteer as an appreciation award.

All votes were carried by voice ('aye') with no recorded 'no' votes in the transcript. Where specific dollar amounts, contractor quotes or donor details were referenced but not fully specified in the transcript, the minutes record them as "not specified" or "to be confirmed" and staff were asked to follow up.
