Questions Arise on Ridgewood Library “Donations”

My questions to the Library:

Who requested and who authorized the use of reserves to be marked as a donation? What was the amount? What meetings and discussions took place to determine this course of action, and who were the participants of that meeting?

Who proposed and who authorized the donation from Friends? What allows Friends to use donated funds in ways other than what is indicated on the webpage?

Who authorized to present the full amount of Bolger funds even when the match is not yet available?

Who worked on the page where the funding discussion is listed? Who oversaw and authorized the overall presentation? Who checked the figures?

Which Village Council members (if any) and/or employees were involved in putting together the presentation, and in what capacity?

Were there any discussions as to whether the “donation” figures are not accurate, and presenting this at a recorded public meeting in order to convince the Council to vote for a municipal bonding resolution would be a transgression of code of ethics?
