LFNAC Minutes – June 27, 2009

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
