2) The public and non-public minutes of January 8, 2008 were approved.
3) There was a discussion concerning the police, who and when made the decision to make them an addition to the proposed building, and the size of the proposed addition (approximately 360 sq. ft.). Their present office is approximately 550 square feet. The heated garage is 18 x 30 feet.
4) At 11:50 AM, by a unanimous roll-call vote, under RSA 91-A:3, II d, the Committee went into non-public session.
5) At 12:25 PM, the Committee came out of non-public session and by unanimous roll-call vote under RSA 91-A:3 III voted to keep the minutes sealed. They did report that a unanimous vote was taken to present the issue in two warrant articles, the first to be a $850,000 bond issue for the building as originally planned and the second for an additional $75,000 bond issue for the addition of the police office.
6) The Committee discussed having an “architect of record”. Don stated that he had no ego problems with this. I was felt that it would be better to have the drawings reviewed by an independent architect, especially where life safety issues were concerned. There was a unanimous vote that Jeff Thornton be asked to fill this spot.
7) Estes & Gallop need to be invoiced for their work.
8) The meeting adjourned at 12:40 PM.
Respectfully submitted
