Summary

Clerk and board discussed inventory of building keys and 4-digit door codes, a proposed $1,500 website budget line, and whether to hire or compensate an assistant for administrative tasks; clerk said she can continue core duties but needs clear directions for any additional work.

The meeting included a series of operational items: the clerk asked members to provide four-digit door codes and discussed the distribution of master and regular keys; members agreed the clerk could temporarily reissue existing codes and would cut additional keys as needed. The board also talked about alarm/camera backups and who should be able to check the building remotely.

On administrative support and the website, the clerk clarified that bringing on an assistant was intended to cover extra tasks, not to replace core clerk duties. A trustee proposed adding $1,500 to the website budget to cover hosting and incremental maintenance beyond the contract. The board discussed whether to offer a small stipend or post a role with a job description, and requested clearer direction for staff on responsibilities.
