Summary

Members discussed winter safety at the museum, including snow removal by maintenance staff, moving the mailbox, and placing a rope across stairs when closed; resident John Callahan voiced concerns about slippery decking.

Board members discussed safety concerns after noting how slippery the museum stairs and deck become in winter. Jason Payne said Jon, the building maintenance worker, will remove snow when possible, and the board considered moving the mailbox and placing a rope across the stairs during times when the museum is closed and the surface is slippery.

During Call to Audience, John Callahan raised the same concern, speaking about how slippery the decking gets at the museum. The minutes record these operational suggestions but do not show a formal directive to change mailbox placement or to install a barrier; staff follow-up was indicated for snow removal and potential interim measures when the museum is closed.
