The minutes of the previous meeting were approved.
The committee determined that it should recommend to the Select Board:
- That the Board creates a committee, governing board or oversight group to manage the administration of the Bradford Area Community Center and the Board develop a specific charge or mandate for this group.
- That the Board specifies what their expectations of the BACC are, the expected uses, the types of programs and businesses that are considered appropriate, and the degree to which the users of the BACC are expected to cover the costs of the center.
- That the Board gets clarification on the use of the kitchen facilities (who can use them, and how clean-up is to be managed) and develop a complete list of items for use of the center as an emergency shelter.
- That the Board reinvigorates the survey previously developed about what people of the town want to see in a community center. Andrew has offered to help with this.
The meeting adjourned at 9:10.
