The Library Facilities Needs Assessment Committee met at the Hatfield Public Library at 9:06 a.m.
Present: Martin Antonetti, Dodie Gaudet, Susan Gaughan, Harold Green, Eliza Langhans, Lynn Omasta, Mary Williams.
Absent: Milton Howard
Harold distributed the budget to date.
The quote for geotechnical services came in at $6,000. That seems somewhat high. We decided to get another quote since we don’t need the services right away.
Received an invoice from Stephen Hale for copying, shipping, etc.
MOVED, SECONDED, VOTED: pay the invoice.
Eliza, Harold, Stephen, Patience Jackson, and Rosemary Waltos had a very long conference call the previous week. Patience is concerned about some of the features of the design of the new building. The design follows the building program which was approved by the MBLC. We agree that safety and security of the staff and patrons is extremely important. We will make sure no design feature compromises safety or security.
We need written approval from the Hatfield Planning Board regarding our plan for parking.
Rosemary thinks having a model is a good idea. We don’t need one yet.
Next step: Trustees have requested a meeting with the Selectboard to request LFNAC be reconstituted as the Library Building Committee.
There is no need for this committee to meet again.
The meeting adjourned at 9:29 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Dodie Gaudet, Secretary

LFNAC Minutes – June 4, 2009
The Library Facilities Needs Assessment Committee met at the Hatfield Public Library at 6:38 p.m.
Present: Martin Antonetti, Dodie Gaudet, Susan Gaughan, Harold Green, Milton Howard, Eliza Langhans, Lynn Omasta, Mary Williams.
Susan described some libraries she visited recently on the cape. Dodie reported on the renovated Forbush Public Library in Westminster. Dodie also noted at the MBLC monthly meeting that morning, it was reported the next construction grant round is likely to be July 2010. Some of the libraries that have been awarded state grants are still trying to secure municipal funding. The deadline for doing so is December 2009, but they will be given an extension until June 2010.
We reviewed Harold’s report to the Hatfield Library Trustees and made some minor changes.
MOVED, SECONDED, VOTED: present the report to the Library Trustees.
We will ask the Trustees to request a televised meeting of LFNAC and the Trustees with the Selectboard. We are requesting that members of LFNAC be appointed to the Building Committee. One or two more people might be added.
We need to make sure our finances are in order. Eliza will review all invoices and make sure there is an up-to-date spreadsheet listing expenses.
We will send a press release to the Gazette about the progress of LFNAC and letting people know there are plans of the proposed addition/renovation at the Library available for comment. Comments may be made on Post-It notes attached to the plans or in a notebook next to the plans. The press release will be sent to coincide with the naming of the Building Committee.
Our next meeting is Saturday, June 27 at 9:00 a.m.
The meeting adjourned at 7:18 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Dodie Gaudet, Secretary
