Bryant Library trustees adopted a $4,980,336 budget for the 2015-16 fiscal year on Monday that will join the Roslyn School District budget and board of education candidates on the May 19 ballot.
The budget calls for $4,860,836 to be raised in taxes – a 1.4 percent increase from last year – and the remaining $119,500 in non-tax revenue to come from the use of the library’s fund balance, grants, state aid and various fees.
All but $906,583 of the budget is set to go toward staffing, including $2,787,600 in salaries, $435,469 in retirement obligations, $212,594 in social security/medicare payments, $473,260 in health insurance and $45,330 toward workers compensation.
About $117,050 will be put toward building operations, which trustees said includes the $32,000 replacement of a flat roof and other various repairs, while $120,000 will be put toward capital improvements.
The library plans to spend $366,695 will toward materials, including books, magazines and digital literature.
