A motion was made to amend the agenda to approve the minutes from 12/04 and
12/08. The motion was seconded and approved. The minutes were accepted as pre-
sented.
Mary McGoldrick and Mark Toomey reviewed with the Committee the results of the
Summit meetings (12/19, 12/29, 1 /2) and the meeting with the architects (12/15).
The Summit meetings have yielded positive conversation and are in response to the
questions in the letter Capital Budget distributed at STM. A google doc has been cre-
ated and should be completed within the next few weeks to address those questions.
The meeting on December 15 with the architects involved conversation surrounding
possible efficiencies (in both size and cost) that might be realized in this next stage of
design work. Some ideas include:
- Relocating the archive and storage space currently proposed for the base-
ment in the addition to the basement of the Town Library
- Moving the large meeting room proposed for the second floor to the basement
- Moving one of the offices currently proposed for the first floor of the addition
to the second, thus shrinking the overall footprint
- Relocating the elevator
- Revisiting the idea of aligning the second floors of the addition and 1857
building
Tom Reardon made a motion to adjourn at 7:20.
