- There will be an informational meeting on March 26, 2016 held by Corvus Training Group, however a location has not yet been announced.
- Kelly Gale, architect hired for the Town Hall restoration, arrived and reviewed the issues that would need to be addressed before offices could be moved back into the Town Hall. Concerns regarding electrical, handicap accessibility and interior construction/office set up were discussed. Kelly reiterated the necessity of complying with the State regulations. The Board stated that there are only five weeks until the move into Town Hall and there is a lot that needs to be done. The plan is to address only that which is necessary to occupy the building and to do so with the final restoration in mind (so as not to have to “undo” work later). Once the offices are moved, the Board will continue to work with the Town Hall Restoration Oversight Committee on the building’s restoration. Kelly indicated that her workload is quite heavy right now, but that she was willing to help out on a limited basis. She agreed to send a fee structure proposal to the Select Board.
Accounts Payable and Payroll Manifest reviewed and signed.
