There was no
old business.
Under new
business, Francine
reported she met with the Supt. of Schools and they discussed issues concerning
traffic, etc. during construction. They will continue to communicate and assess
any potential problems. She also met with Jeanette and Abby of Tai Soo Kim to
go over floor plans for both library and town hall temporary space. She also
visited the space at Town Hall and contacted School Technology Director Jim
Morrow, and Bibliomation representatives to discuss data connections.
Tim met with To
Design and town officials to discuss the parking and driveway plan. The town
planner and sanitarian were pleased with the work done so far. Steve Jacobs
expressed concern about gutters (there are currently none) and drainage issues.
The distribution boxes of the current septic system will be checked to monitor
that they are functioning properly. There also needs to be a gauge put on the
current well to measure the current amount of water used.

Presentation: Richard
Szczypek introduced John Wilcox, the new project manager. Steve Collins discussed
questions presented by the committee regarding mechanical/electrical systems. It
was noted that the site and parking plan will be presented to the Town Planning
Committee in time to have it discussed, and possibly approved, at their
December meeting.
Richard presented
the preliminary budget estimate done by AZCorporation, which he recently
received. The architectural team has not had time to go over details of the
estimate and will do so before our next meeting. Richard pointed out areas that
need clarification.
Steve mentioned
the possibility of keeping the current well for lawn watering after connecting the
building to public water. He also discussed options for location of HVAC
systems. Putting basement space under the new construction would be one option,
but would add cost. Otherwise, space could be taken from the floor plan. Using
attic space was the least desirable plan.
Plans are
proceeding to move the children’s section to Town Hall.
Pay bills: Tim presented the bill for the
contracted installment due Tai Soo Kim. Irma moved that we authorize payment of
$9,945.00 as billed. Second by Bob Socha. Voted unanimously.
