Building Committee Meeting Minutes - approved 3/10/2010
Thursday, February 18, 2010
The Library Building Committee met at the Hatfield Public Library at 7:04PM.
Present: Harold Green (Chair), Dodie Gaudet (Trustee Liaison), Mary Williams, Sue Gaughan, Eliza Langhans (Librarian)
1. Call to Order. This meeting was rescheduled from 2/10/2010 due to weather.
2. Review of Minutes. MOVED, SECONDED, VOTED: Approve last meeting's minutes.
3. Received an invoice from Stephen Hale for copying, shipping, etc.
MOVED, SECONDED, VOTED: pay the invoice.
4. Discussion of CPA application article. Harold asks whether we should propose the article now or include it with the rest of the Building Project proposal. Acting now could help keep up public awareness of the Building Project and our process, but could also be potentially confusing. On the other hand, if we tell our story carefully, we could minimize confusion. The committee agreed that it would be a good idea to talk to Bob Wagner and will invite him to our next meeting.
The committee reviews the CPA application questions and criteria. Harold shares the current draft and committee members agree to work together on the application through Google Docs.
4. MOVED, SECONDED, VOTED: Accept the resignation of Lynn Omasta due to health reasons. The committee deeply regrets having to accept this resignation.
MOVED, SECONDED, VOTED: Sue Gaughan will replace Lynn Omasta as vice-chair.
Lynn was also Contracts Administrator but a replacement for this position is not immediately needed and the position could be taken by the Project Manager when hired.
5. Dodie reports on the Foundation meeting and we discuss the upcoming joint Foundation and Building Committee meeting. Five dates are proposed and Eliza will run them by Stephen and then put out a Doodle. At the meeting we will give a history of the Building Project and review the schematic designs, making sure to go over our decision-making process for those who are new to the project.
The meeting adjourned at 8:18PM. Our next meeting will be at the library on 3/10/2010

Building Committee History and Mission
A year ago, The Library Facilities Needs Assessment Committee (LFNAC) completed its charge and presented its recommendation to the residents of Hatfield at the annual town meeting. The committee had hired an architect, considered various scenarios and come to the conclusion that the best solution for the much-too-small Hatfield Public Library was to renovate and add on to the current building.
LFNAC recently evolved into the Building Committee with some changes. Ed Lesko was appointed as the Selectboard's representative to the Committee and Bryan Nicholas has also joined the group. Members of LFNAC who are continuing on the Building Committee are Harold Green, chair; Susan Gaughan, vice-chair; Dodie Gaudet, Trustee liaison; Martin Antonetti, Historical Society liaison; and Mary Williams. Lynn Omasta and Milton Howard have were not able to continue but we thank them for the many contributions they made. Recently appointed Library Director Eliza Langhans is an ex-officio member. The new Committee is planning a series of forums to solicit comments about the plans and will be applying for CPA money to help fund the renovation. This blog includes the Minutes of all Building Committee meetings.
