LFNAC Minutes – April 23, 2009

The Library Facilities Needs Assessment Committee met at the Hatfield Public Library at 6:35 p.m.

Present: Martin Antonetti, Dodie Gaudet, Susan Gaughan, Harold Green, Lynn Omasta and Mary Williams. Also present: Stephen Hale, architect.

Absent: Milton Howard

Most of this meeting was spent discussing preparations for Town Meeting.

We decided to do a bulk mailing to all town residents with basic information about the project. Will the grant pay?

We also decided what exhibits we need from Stephen to present at Town Meeting. Front & back elevations, 3 floor plans and site plans plus outline specs and cost estimate based on specs will be copied back-to-back and stapled into a packet to distribute at Town Meeting.

We are owed an outline spec per the contract. It will be needed for a more accurate cost estimate. We are also owed a rendering. Do we want it at this point or later? We decided to wait on the rendering. We will have a rotating 3-D image displayed on a laptop at Town Meeting. We will need the rendering before we ask the town for money for construction.

Stephen had revised some of the drawings since the open house on Saturday. More refinements were made at this meeting.

Our next meeting is Thursday, May 7 at 6:30 p.m.

The meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m.


Respectfully submitted,

Dodie Gaudet, Secretary
