Old Business

Ray was on speaker phone.
Dave from Bay Path was also on the phone. Ray asked if Bay Path would be willing to do the work on the electrical panel. Dave said it is possible.
After receiving a quote from Bill Senecal, that amount needs to be added to the current estimate. It will be based on material only.

New Business
- Paul will get quotes for equipment in the new studio
- Library Trustees discussed leaving the layout as planned; they need space for paper work and offered shelving as an alternative in the back room area.
- Library Trustees are working with Charter on a dedicated Wi-Fi line and asked if we can negotiate to receive free of charge. Paul will get further clarification.
- Paul mentioned the possibility of a renewable wish list for the library in lieu of utilities payments. The committee does not want to go this route. It was agreed we will provide a onetime only payment. We will pay for our usage of utilities.
- There was discussion on the annual percentage of revenue from Charter. At this time, the committee is considering 3%.
The next meeting will be held on April 9th. The meeting adjourned at 7:58 p.m. All were in favor.
