Town Meeting Preparation:
It was hoped that Brackett Scheffy would be willing to come to the meeting this morning, but he notified Eileen Kelly that he had an emergency and was unable to attend. There are several concerns the Town Hall Restoration Committee did want to discuss with him prior to Town Meeting.
Mark Fournier questioned the cost and specifics to proceed with the Renovation project. He has construction experience and would like to help in any way that he can.
There was a question about amending Warrant Article 5.
Motion was made by Dick Keller to not recommend amending Article 5. Seconded by George Cilley. Motion carried 10-0.
There will be some hand-outs at voting on Tuesday, March 13th and a list of who will give them out was made.
The Secretary will write a letter to Bruss Construction to extend their appreciation for their making copies for the Town Hall Restoration Committee hand outs as well as all the other support they have provided the town.
Discussion ensued regarding what should be and not be presented prior to the Article 5 and how and what responses may be. It was stated that the Article was approved unanimously by the Selectmen and Budget Committee even though it does not state that in the Warrant Article.
Motion was made by Marcia Keller for Eileen Kelly to make the presentation at Town Meeting. Motion was seconded by all and Unanimously approved.
The next meeting of the Town Hall Restoration Committee will be on:
SATURDAY, MARCH 17, 2012 AT 10:00am.
Meeting Adjourned 1:30pm
Respectfully submitted
Marjorie R. Cilley
Secretary
