Meeting called to order at 7:50 P.M. by S. MacCaffrie. This
meeting was posted to be held at the new LIB/COA facility however,
construction (fresh paint) made the conditions unsuitable and so the
meeting was adjourned to the town hall.

Various pieces of correspondence were read.
A motion was made, seconded and voted unanimous to accept a change
order in the amount of $2665.

minutes #30) on many items. It was noted that any action item must
not linger without being acted upon.

contractor.
