OLD BUSINESS Committee Follow-up from Forum 2 The committee appreciated seeing a gathering of people that spanned a variety of expertise in town activities in discussing these ideas. The group would have liked to see a better discussion of what people seem to be interested in, but the forum wasn't set up to do this, so much as overview what the committee has learned in its process so far and receive feedback on that. It was encouraging to hear about the responsibility that the town feels about the building. It is understood that the Town owns it, but Library Trustees govern it. Our challenge remains to understand how it might be administered, and how it might be funded (vis a vis programming or other support). At this point in time,the process does not look to be short circuited by having an interested group come forward to provide administration or funding. The committee will continue to have conversations with groups on possible topics related to programming [multi-cultural center and] 1
