January 31, 1989
Members present: Chairman Nigro, Vice Chairman Graham, Secretary
Ziegler, Selectman Russell.
Under Liaison Reports, Vice Chairman Graham indicated that four
members of the Board of Selectmen attended a luncheon at the
library for recipients of the Employee Awards Program for 1988.
The program is a success and it is nice to honor employees who do
an exceptional job. .
The Board of Selectmen reviewed the new programs and capital im-
provements as presented by the Town Manager. The Board commented
on the following:
1. Capital Equipment that is intended to reflect efficiencies
needs to be justified.
2 . The Library should consider charging for the meeting room to
offset some of the expenses, i.e. for replacing the kitchen.
This could be done in a manner similar to that used by the
School Committee.
3. The stairway connecting the Library parking lot to Deering
Street may need to be improved. In addition, the pos-
sibility of placing planter islands within the parking area
was discussed.
The Board of Selectmen supported the idea of starting on a
sidewalk and curb replacement program.
There was discussion on improved custodial services. The Board
asked what the current staff levels of custodian are, and what
the optimum would be.
The Board indicated, with the possible exception of additional
custodial staff, no new programs would be able to be funded this
fiscal year.
Due to an electrical power failure, the Board of Selectmen ad-
journed its' meeting at 10:00 PM, on motion by Graham, seconded
by Russell.
Respectfully Submitted,
Secretary
