LFNAC Minutes August 7, 2008

The Library Facilities Needs Assessment Committee met at the Hatfield Public Library at 6:30 p.m.

Present: Martin Antonetti, Dodie Gaudet, Susan Gaughan, Harold Green, Milton Howard, Sheila McCormick, Lynn Omasta, and Mary Williams
Absent: Mike Paszek

Mike has officially resigned from the Committee. We decided to continue with 8 members and not fill Mike’s position.

There was lots of discussion about the five architectural firms we interviewed. The top 3 are Durland Van Voorhis (DVV), Hale Associates and Drummy Rosane Anderson (DRA).

Our next step is to check references. Ann Larson from the MBLC suggested we talk peer-to-peer; i.e. Sheila will talk with directors, Dodie will talk with trustees and committee members will talk with other committee members.

We selected the following libraries:
Hale – Brewster, Wellfleet, Dennis and Newbury
DRA – No. Adams, Old Lyme CT, Norfolk MA, Millbrook NY
DVV – Chilmark, Mattapoiset, Middleton, No. Reading

ACTION ITEM: Lynn will check the DCAM site for reviews of these architects.

ACTION ITEM: Sheila will make the original contact and send names of people to call to other committee members.

ACTION ITEM: Committee members will call and talk with people before our next meeting.

MOVED, SECONDED, VOTED: To pay Sheila for the extra hours she has put into this project through June 30. From now on, she will be submitting her extra hours every two weeks.

The next meeting will be Saturday, Sept 6 at 9:00 a.m. at the Hatfield Public Library.
NOTE: Meeting was changed to Tuesday, September 2, 6:30 p.m. at the Library.

Meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,
Dodie Gaudet
Secretary
