Out of joint. The inability of the two municipalities to reach an agreement on a new funding formula for the library and the Library Board filing a lawsuit against the town prompted the town board to decide to terminate the agreement, according to town officials.
Town officials contend that they are entitled to half of the library's assets and have asked the village to begin negotiations over how those assets will be divided. Village officials do not believe the town is entitled to assets since the town opted out of the agreement and the village plans to continue library operations.
From the 8/12/2014 agenda.
