Mary Ann reported that a letter from Primex has not been received regarding the liability status for the meeting room at the library. However, an email from our town administrative assistant will be forthcoming with the explanation she received from Primex regarding this matter. The email will go to Gail.
Bob reported on his findings regarding the possibility of putting up a mailbox at the library in order to discontinue use of the post office box. The Postmaster stated it would be feasible but that no dismount service would be available. She recommended a size and location for the mailbox. Posting the mailbox on the east side of the driveway just behind the sidewalk would allow the mail carrier to get off the road when making deliveries. The trustees will make a decision on this matter at a future meeting.
Meeting adjourned at 9:35 p.m.
