Tinmouth boards flag motion lights, rotten clapboards and accessibility concerns at community center
Summary
Board members reported motion lights that lack an off switch, rotten clapboards over the kitchen, and a bridge/ramp that may present an accessibility hazard; Sherry will send photos and staff will route repairs to school maintenance and town maintenance as appropriate.
Members raised multiple maintenance and accessibility concerns for the community center building and surrounding site. A speaker described motion-activated lights on the north side that have no on/off switch and a blown bulb that required the custodian to unscrew the bulb; Gail said she had asked maintenance to inspect the lights and roofers were scheduled to look at the building.
Sherry said she had taken pictures of a wooden bridge with openings that can "catch your toes" and will send a letter and photos to staff. The boards said internal building maintenance tasks (like lights and roof clapboards) should be routed to school maintenance where appropriate, and town maintenance (Tim) should be informed for town-owned elements such as the pavilion. The group asked staff to add these items to a maintenance schedule and follow up with timelines for repair.
