Several items on Celina's City Council agenda Tuesday deal with outfitting the new library in the Downtown Center, from the books on its shelves to the computers and network.
The council meets at 4:30 p.m. at the Celina Council Chambers, 112 N. Colorado St.
Money carried over for the collection
A budget amendment on the consent agenda would roll $995,171 in purchase orders from the last fiscal year into the current one, all for the library. It includes $851,117 for library books, $87,232 for library interiors and $56,822 for Bibliotheca expenses, according to the finance department's memo, which describes the spending as being "in anticipation of opening the Downtown Center Library."
The money comes from fund balance.
The same amendment would add $13,732 for a higher-than-budgeted mini excavator for stormwater crews, and set aside $25,000 for full medical exams for all police officers this year.
