While the purchase of some furniture and shelving will be required, that existing in the current facility can be re-used. The money, said Ross, can be accommodated from the building reserve fund for library development or the county's provision for unforeseen. There would also be moving costs. Treasurer Dave Carey had also included written comments in the report that funds were available in the capital reserve fund and general reserve specifically for the library strategic plan. When the move occurs, said Ross, after the meeting, is now up to North Huron council. "The library board is the tenant.
