Old Business:
Status of Town Line of Credit: No report
LEAD/KAS Update – No report
Asbestos: PRIORITY:Rebecca A. must be included in site visit with asbestos removal company! Sue A.
be sure Rebecca knows when this meeting is scheduled.
Pre-Construction Meeting: Rebecca A. Still need some information from VHT. See attached.
PRIORITY: Town still needs to contact Bob Neeld – Engineering Ventures and have a construction
contract for any visits, consulting during construction on an hourly/visit basis. Tasked to Sue A.
PRIORITY: Contract #2 Change of work order & Contract #4: Rebecca A. needs to update Architect
Docs to reflect finishing 1st floor (priority); and, the 2nd floor. Value engineering will likely come into play
that will affect the completion of the 2nd floor.
A&S Construction Contract: Rebecca Arnold needs to provide a contract for A&S completion of this
project, i.e. the construction phase…weekly meetings on site etc. This will help with fund-raising.
Construction Sign Update: Final approved Construction Sign will be emailed to Jenna Lapachinski-
PTVT by Sandy G. for approval. Jenna L. will provide the physical sign. Placement is inside the brick
planter in front of the building.
DRB Update: Continuance is scheduled for May 13,2026 at 7:00 PM.
Porta-Potty(s) Placement: Jay was asked to provide a letter authorizing placement of the port-potty(s) as
positioned by A&S Architects and provided to Jay B. Sandy G. reported that State regulations place a
restriction on the use of these ‘temporary toilets’ to 28 days per year. Events can be stacked into a day
but ONLY 28 days may be used during an entire year! This came as a shock to all. Seasonal use will be
investigated by Sandy G. This presents a huge need to fund the addition if the Meeting House is ever
going to be able to operate year-round.
