OCTOBER 12, 2009

Selectboard Present: Whitney Aldrich (Chair); Jamie Teague

                                    (Absent: Sheldon Sawyer)

Mr. Aldrich advised that this is the continuation of the meeting that was recessed on October 8, 2009.  He called this meeting to order at 8:45 PM.

TOWN HALL CEILING:  Mrs. Teague spoke with Matt Blanc of Blanc and Bailey relative to clarification on two issues in the quote.  Because of the age of the building it may require some level of reinforcement.  They did reach an agreement.  Completion will be in 5-to-6 weeks. 

Mrs. Teague moved to award the repair of the Town Hall first floor ceiling to Blanc and Bailey for the amount of $22,500.00.  If any structural defects are found there will be a change order.  Seconded by Mr. Aldrich.  Motion passed unanimously.

The Selectboard asked Mrs. Clough to send out thank you letters to the other contractors who submitted estimates for repairs to the ceiling.

WEDDING – Saturday, October 17, 2009:  Due to delays in repairing the Town Hall first floor ceiling there was a consensus of the Selectboard to offer use of the Bandstand to the bridal party for their wedding ceremony on Saturday, October 17, 2009, free of charge.
