Municipal Space Study
Board reviewed a draft of Town Planner's Municipal Space Study dated
9-25-78. New office structure for Municipal offices was felt to be a
non-realistic approach to the space problem. The rehabilitation of the
Community Center to municipal office space posed an architectural
barrier problem and left the Library problem unresolved. The expansion
of the current Town Hall would involve less immediate expense, but the
Library space problem would have to be resolved first since this
expansion would involve use of the current Library building.
A lengthy discussion involving the following topics ensued, listing
the pro's and con's :
New Office building
Expanded Municipal building
Municipal building annex
Mandatory Referral
John Agnew had a question on the word "rentals" concerning the Mandatory
Referral Article. This was clarified. He now has no objection to this
Article and the Board of Selectmen will not object to this Article'.
Meeting adjourned at 9:20 P.M.
Respectfully submitted,
C.wJ. Keller
