East Haddam committee outlines outreach plan: logos, local newspaper article and a central email for public input
Summary
Members agreed to iterate logo designs (favoring a town seal option and the phrase 'Path Forward'), plan regular small newspaper pieces, and asked staff to explore a town‑controlled email and digital storage solution so the committee can receive public comments centrally.
The New Library Siting Committee discussed early public outreach and administrative tools to gather input for the proposed East Haddam library.
A committee member presented two logo options created with an AI design tool; members generally liked the idea of a logo but suggested iterating the designs, avoiding clichéd phrases such as "lifelong learners," and considering the town seal or the phrase "Path Forward" as unifying options. The presenter agreed to produce several revised designs and bring them to the next meeting.
On outreach, the chair said she had drafted a short newspaper article to inform residents and that televised meetings would support transparency. Committee members asked for a single public contact point; the chair provided an email address (e.morgan at East Haddam Library System .org) to receive public comments and asked the group to confirm whether the town can provide server‑side digital storage so materials would be held on town infrastructure rather than personal cloud accounts. John Billett agreed to check with town IT/administration and report by the next meeting.
No formal vote or expenditure was authorized. Members agreed to iterate branding and publish outreach materials once the committee has clearer messaging and Laurel can review drafts.
