Review and Consideration of March 7, 2013 Minutes:
Motion was made by Beth Rodd to approve the March 7, 2013 minutes as presented.

Seconded by Marcia Keller. Minutes approved unanimously.

Town Meeting Feedback:

Much discussion ensued regarding should haves, should not haves, as well as what could or could not be done and what will be done at the upcoming continued Town Meeting for Article 4 on Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 7:00pm at the Bradford Elementary School. Much discussion involved seating availability, and the lack of it at town meeting. This will be improved upon one way or another for the continued meeting.

It was stated that there were 312 registered voters at the March Town Meeting with 308 voting on Article 4.

Much discussion took place on how and when to get constructive information out to the voters prior to the upcoming continuation of town meeting. Many different ideas and methods were entertained.

It was hoped that North Branch will be attending and speak for the Town Hall Restoration by reiterating that the Construction Manager process does put a guarantee on the amount of money stated, and if it should go higher, they are the ones who have to absorb it.

The next meeting date will be decided and posted.

No other business to come before the board, meeting adjourned 3:15pm

Respectfully submitted

Marjorie R. Cilley

Secretary.
