SB Notes Tuesday Nov 15

• Both Hilma and Sue Lively did not  attend due to medical issues.
• Mail & Email;  
  • BoH email on concerns about moving the nurse's office to Jacobs Road.
  • Letter from the Council on Aging in favor of re-locating the nurse's office to Jacobs Road.
  • Offer from MIIA, our insurance  provider, presenting low interest options.  SB voted to accept.
  • Discussed way to have meetings online as well as in person using a Meeting OWL.  
  • Letter from a resident wanting to sell Jacobs Road,
• Need to schedule a meeting with the Finance Committee and Budge Litchfield on MTRSD FY24 budget.
• Salt Shed; a copy of the deed for Bray Road was given to Jeff Johnston. SB received a packet on hoop   structures for sheds.  Need to review previous plans and determine cost to update to include the salt shed.
• MTRSD update—a Zoom meeting was held to discuss whether the original agreement was factored into the MTRSD budget. No consensus was reached, Heath asked for more information which has not been received yet.
• Follow up discussion of Town Nurse office location
  • Robyn spoke with Claire regarding her preference to stay at CH.
  • The SB consensus is that the office should move for a number of reasons. The BoH had raised some issues which the SB feels have been addressed except the Bones & Balance class which could continue at the CH.
  • SB voted to move the office to JR when Hilma is available to plan the logistics.
• Naming JR—the building should have some way of being referenced. Will bring it up when Sue Lively is available. A kiosk is needed outside JR.
• Exterior lighting at JR has been upgraded to LEDs.
• COA has opened the senior room Saturday mornings from 9 to noon.
• 7:00 pm—Hilltown Youth Performing Arts Program, Inc.  Appointment with Jonathan Diamond who made requests for: 
  • a slop sink in the pre-school room which they would buy.
  • use of the walk-in  freezer for a 4 week period for summer program.
  • approval to create some gardens for their program in some neglected areas.
  • approval to paint murals (from the book Coraline by Neil Gaiman) on the gym walls which would remain until requested to be painted over.
• Jonathan feels that what is happening at Jacobs Road with the multi-purpose use of the school building for library, police, fire, senior center, and youth drama and recovery programs is a notational model for repurposing rural spaces.
