-Overview of the Town’s plan for turning over its financial investments to an outside firm and options we have in terms of our endowment accounts being a part of that process.

New Business, including items not reasonably anticipated by the chair- votes may be taken
- Review a proposal for a structural evaluation of the building by Johnson Structural Engineering

- Discuss applying on behalf of the Town for a Green Communities grant (CMRCP) for building improvements (possibly for installing mini splits?)

- Discuss Employee review to be conducted for the Director by the Town Administrator (T.A. seeking Board input through board chair)


Old Business - votes may be taken
-New Town e-mail addresses were created for all municipal employees. I’ve been informed by the T.A. that this should be the main address that the library uses for the Director- update library contact on website?

-Submitting warrants electronically- is there a reason why this still isn’t being done? What can we do to get that process started?

-Update on phone system- is it still giving us troubles?

-The Board voted several months ago for the Director to hire a “per diem” Library Assistant in order to avoid library closures on non-holidays, to fill in if someone calls out sick, for vacations and emergency leaves of absence. Has this position been advertised? If not, what is the hold up? The Town Administrator confirmed that this would not be considered a new position since it would fall under the same job description and salary line item as our current Assistant. What can we do to help get this process started?
