can it ring, should we have a public hearing to determine policy? Deb will draft a policy for the next BOLT
meeting.
4. Fundraising – The meeting was called
to discuss developing strategies for our current mission of finishing the physical
job on the library. There is a need to
broaden our base of supporters and to spread the load. Mick stated that we need to recast our
position of what we’ve already done, and how it benefits the town. We need to identify the phases of restoration
and the costs of each, project a timeline, apart from
funding then shop the project with our synopsis and meet with supporters and
historic commission. We need state and
local support, and we need to look at how other towns have accomplished funding
the restoration of an historic town-owned building. Paul suggested throwing a thank you party for
donors to celebrate the completion of the first phase.
The Trustees still need to raise
what we already have—about $1 million.
Rep Sarah Peake is arranging a meeting 8/17 with Sen. Rob O’leary. We
need to develop a 1 page synopsis of what we need. The Packard Gallery Reception needs to be
organized immediately. Lyn volunteered
to head that task, with Deb’s help, and newsletters must go out. Deb & Lyn are developing web pages for
Capital Campaign.
5. Other Business and Correspondence –
For a future meeting, the Trustees will
develop a draft policy for performance on the concrete pad.
Furnace – Paul reported that a suit has been filed. We will wait a month for their reply.
