Council accepts community center board and approves master plan payment
Summary
Council approved acceptance of the community center board and voted to accept a $28,452.18 master plan; members discussed the town’s financial support for the center, how room rentals are managed, and building maintenance needs.
The council voted to accept the community center board and to continue a contractual arrangement under which the community center manages room rentals and the town contributes $300 per month for use of the facility. Several council members and center representatives discussed why the town pays utilities and how the center charges outside renters for room use.
During discussion, council members and community center representatives described maintenance needs at the building, including requests for new carpeting, hallway floors, gym floor work and repairs to an unstable basement stair rod. One councilor urged caution about losing the community center and said the town should avoid actions that would jeopardize it.
The Chair read the community center board roster aloud, naming board officers and advisors. The council then made a motion to accept the board and the contract as presented; the motion carried by voice vote.
Separately, a council motion accepted a master plan with a price of $28,452.18; the Chair called the ayes and the motion carried. The transcript does not show a detailed line‑item budget tied to the master plan in the supplied text.
