[LISTEN] Community Matters – Prendergast Library October Meeting

JAMESTOWN, NY – During the Oct. 22 episode of Community Matters, WRFA provided a detailed recap of the October 2015 board of trustees meeting for the Prendergast Library in Jamestown, NY.

The meeting focused on several cuts to the 2016 budget in order to help close a $150,000+ budget deficit.

Also during the meeting, Jesse Marion (pictured) addressed the board and explained he and his wife Cathy (who is originally from the Jamestown area) would like to donate the money necessary to restore and maintain the library’s $3.17 million art collection.

This segment of Community Matters not only provides the public comment from several area residents concerned about the future of the art collection, but also interviews with Marion, along with local resident Nancy Bargar and Prendergast Board President Tom Rankin.
