Montauk Library Budget Vote Is Tuesday

Fri, 03/29/2024 - 08:49

Voting on the Montauk Library's 2024-25 budget will take place on Tuesday from 2 to 8 p.m. The budget proposal is for $2.17 million, which would increase taxes by about $20 for the year for a house with a market value of $1.08 million.

Voters will also select members of the library board. There are four candidates for four open seats: Linda Barnds, Lynn Hammer, Yasna Schiappacasse, and Lisa Valcich. The two candidates who garner the most votes will serve terms of five years; the other two will serve partial terms created when prior trustees vacated their seats.

More details can be found in the library's spring newsletter online at montauklibrary.org.
