Item F2
Discussion of FY 2019-2020 Budget Proposal
The City Council approved the budget on September 10 after eliminating the 7.75 FTE's previously
added to the budget in August. This affected the library's increase of .80 FTE even though there was no
impact to the budget. This brings the library's FTE budget and org chart back to status quo as shown in
the marked-up attachment.

From:Sapna Purawat <purawat@gmail.com>
Sent:Thursday, September 05, 2019 10:41 AM
To:Ed Meedel; Steve Fosselman
Subject:Resignation letter
Dear Mr. Meedel,
I regret to inform you that I will be resigning as Board Member of Grand Island public Library. I will be able
to continue serving until the end of September.
The reason behind my resignation is that I have been offered a job opportunity in California which will
require my family to relocate. I am so proud of all we have accomplished in the past 3 years, and I have
no doubt the board will continue these successes in the future.
The position I’ve held on the Board for the past three years has taught me more than I could have hoped.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to gain insight into the library and for the guidance which has
lead me to become a stronger leader.
Yours Sincerely,
Sapna Purawat
