Library feasibility committee charter changes discussed; public hearings and bond notices scheduled
Summary
Selectboard discussed reducing voting membership on the Library Feasibility Study Committee after a trustee resignation, carried several agenda items to Feb. 2 for further review, and scheduled public hearings for bonded and petition warrant articles.
Selectboard members discussed edits to the Library Feasibility Study Committee charter after a trustee resigned and the committee paused interviews with engineers and architects. The board said reducing the committee's voting membership from seven to five could make obtaining a quorum easier; Eddie Arnold said he would meet with the committee to gather input and asked whether a Selectboard member wished to serve (Arnold said he had too many commitments to take it on).
The board carried several items to the Feb. 2 meeting, including the town report, Board & Committee Responsibilities document, and exterior lighting estimates for Town Hall while awaiting a second bid. The Selectboard also set deadlines and public‑hearing dates: post notice for bonded articles by Jan. 27, hold bonded-article hearings on Feb. 2, and hold petition-article hearings on Feb. 17. The board additionally discussed next steps on the Pierce Pond Dam removal and who will draft the RFP for removal bids.
The board closed the budget hearing at 10:10 p.m. and scheduled additional meetings (including Jan. 26) to handle public and nonpublic items ahead of town‑warrant deadlines.
