- Call to order and purpose 1:43
- The chair called the meeting to order at 12:35 PM on March 24th, 2026, to get the committee's input on a one-page flyer for the Trotier roof and discuss how to distribute it. 1:43
- The chair said the Trotier roof project has been on the capital plan since around 2019 and that the district attempted to get into the MSBA process 4 times on it. 1:43
- The chair said the goal was to make sure people know the project is separate and distinct from the Neary roof project. 2:21
- Review of Trotier roof flyer 4:10
- A staff member said the project cost figures on the flyer are estimates and still have to go out to bid, and another staff member said MSBA requires the town to ask for the gross cost of the project. 6:04
- One board member said the project cost section could be clearer about reimbursement versus actual costs and that people should understand the approval covers the total cost so they do not get sticker shock. 7:56
