Present: Rob, Harry, & Aaron Meeting called to order at 7:00pm
- Minutes from August meeting read and accepted
- There was a discussion about the need to formally vote on accepting/amending meeting minutes. Rob spoke to Jeanne Pryor and George Roberts (Town Clerk) and both advised that a formal vote is a good idea. Rob moved that we have a show-of-hands vote to approve minutes. Harry seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
- No treasurer’s report
- Communications
- Received a newsletter from the Department of Conservation
- Received a national business furniture catalog
- Craig (new Town Administrator) sent a notice around addressing recent complaints about the cleanliness of Town Hall’s interior and exterior. All future complaints are to be addressed to the Town Administrator.
Directional Maps – Rob disassembled the West Becket frame (upright posts are salvageable). Crossmemebers may be okay also – Rob is filling with exterior wood filler to try to salvage. Aaron contacted sign vendor to inquire about using Plexiglas over the maps – there should not be any issues in doing so. Rob is getting pricing on Plexiglas from several vendors: County Glass = $134 /sheet Berkshire Plate Glass = $100/sheet. Aaron will contact, via email, a person at Sabic that Rob was given contact information for, as a possible source for Plexiglas (Doreen.canzanella@sabic-ip.com). Given the expense required to fix the frames for the maps, Aaron moved to set a $600 limit to fix/winterize the maps. Rob seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
Apothecary – Rob continues to wait for a response / action from the homeowners
Historical Plaques – Aaron has contacted SignSmith several times – is waiting on reply.
- Rob wrote a thank you note to Skip (Dish Hollow proprietor) for trading us postcards to add to our collection.
