Summary

The library asked the committee to consider exterior repairs (siding, windows, repainting); a previous combined roofing and painting quote was cited at $65,000—6,000 with the roof having been replaced in 2023; committee requested updated estimates and clearer project forms.

A library representative emailed the committee reporting progress on interior accessibility updates and requested consideration of exterior repairs that remain outstanding. "The quote for the entire exterior roofing and painting was 65 to 70,000," the representative said, while noting the roof portion had been completed in 2023 and that an updated site visit was scheduled to refine estimates.

Committee members asked the library to complete the project-description form with itemized costs and to clarify which exterior items fall under town building funds versus library CRF. Members suggested trustees coordinate with the select board and provide up-to-date quotes and any available grant offsets so the committee can fold the project into the CIP recommendation.
