Expenses include electricity, water, sewer, heat \n and expenses related to elevator service/inspection and security monitoring. \n o The previous estimate for library furnishing (Tucker Library Interiors) will be \n updated. \n o Samyn D’Elia Architects is updating a cost estimate for the minor renovations \n needed for the Historic School. \n o A motion was made (Ruell) and seconded (Staples) to transfer $850 from our \n 2019 general fund balance to the Building Fund Account, which will bring \n that account to $5,011.74. The motion was approved unanimously, 3-0. \n After reviewing the purchase/payment options offered by TCCAP, we determined that \n Option #3 was the most viable for a proposed 2020 warrant article. The elements of that \n option include: $525,000 selling price; 1.5% interest rate; 120-month term; $4,714.05 \n monthly payment ($56,568.60 annual equivalent); with no balloon payment. \n o Mardean will draft the letter to the BOS outlining this preferred option, with the \n addition of $100,000 for renovation and furnishing, and utilizing $95,000 from \n our capital reserve fund and $5,000 from our Building Fund account. The letter \n will also include the request to meet with the BOS, to determine whether the \n warrant article will be by petition or submitted by the BOS and to draft the \n appropriate legal wording for the warrant article.","bbox":{"left":0.177255,"top":0.162862,"width":0.7003870000000001,"height":0.38374899999999995}},{"text":"•","bbox":{"left":0.147843,"top":0.371434,"width":0.009019,"height":0.018562000000000023}},{"text":"Technology Plan \n • We reviewed the first draft of the Library Technology Plan, with a variety of suggested \n additions, formatting, and wording.
