Other Business
Library Roof: The Selectmen received the assessment report from Ian Blackman. He recommended that the Timber Frame repairs should be done at the same time as the roof. This will add approximately $1,500 to the roofing project. The other structural repairs can be done at a later time and could cost between $500 and $1,000. Nancy recommended rewording the Library Roof Warrant article to include the repair work.
Lucille Noel presented the Selectmen with a current quotation for the roof project.
