Assemble tools, which include but are not limited to:
*budget forms
*pen and pencil
*cupcakes for breakfast, Sun Chips for lunch
*cigarettes
*gallon o' Diet Pepsi
*adding machine
*number whiz and good buddy to run adding machine
*cell phone
Then, you will need to...

*use a cell phone to call for information from inside the library
*crunch numbers, and pencil them in
*call the Board President for back-up
*when the Board President can't help, have *him* call for backup
*have the backup (who is several states away) call you back early next week to help with the ONE MAGIC NUMBER that NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHERE THE HELL IT CAME FROM ON PAST BUDGET FORMS
Be sure to...
*Summon people to the meeting room on occasion to consult on some numbers

*Take advantage of the restorative powers of Koodie Hoo's for lunch to gear up for an afternoon of more number crunching, erasing, adding, calling and beat of thy head against a table
*Wear comfortable clothing (NIN shirt, jeans, Doc Martens) for sprawling on floor in despair
*Stop at 5pm - there's no need to have something like a little budget encroach on your weekend.
Take it from us - this method works every time! :-)

Sounds a lot like the steps one might take to come up with a resurfacing budget :)
Wow - that all sounds like too much work. ;) I'm glad you survived it!
