Library endowment fund reports strength and budget plans
Peoples National and Trust representative Janet Peters told Ottawa Library Board of Trustees that the endowment fund stood at $230,752.38 with nearly $10,000 in investment earnings added in 1995. The board approved moving funds to a new certificate of deposit as T bills mature, and discussed mailing solicitations for the endowment. A proposed 1996 library budget would raise the mill levy cap from six to 10 mills, shifting some costs to the library budget, with a net increase of 0.62 mill projected to raise about $22,000 to cover utilities and maintenance. The charter amendment would require a voter petition and general election vote if protesters gather enough signatures. Trustees assigned committees for the year and confirmed endowment and finance leadership.

RMH Faces June Shortfall as Costs Outpace Revenue
RMH revenues for June reached 1,014,184 with expenses at 1,043,550 generating a 29,366 operating deficit. Sales tax revenue added 87,234, leaving a net 62,702 gain for the month, while six month results show a 54,075 margin over expenses before tax and other adjustments. Hospital administrator Bob Bregant notes higher costs due to hiring and use of contracted nurses, with about 20 nurses added in two months. The board also approved Lockton Insurance as new provider for property and worker’s compensation coverage, offering broader services at similar or better cost.
