(KNZA)--The Morrill Public Library Board of Directors is recommending that a levy be added to the Hiawatha city budget for 2022 to fund library employee benefits.
Library Director Erin Verbrick met with the Hiawatha City Commission Monday evening to make the request on behalf of the board.
Verbrick said the levy would allow them to move a current part-time employee to full-time and increase wages. Verbrick is currently the only full-time library employee.
The proposed levy would be in addition to the current levy for library operations.
Commissioners took no action and were expected to discuss the request during a budget work session following the meeting.
The Commission is expected to approved a proposed 2022 budget for publication at their June 28 meeting.
