There was a lengthy discussion about the need for the work, with members questioning whether certain aspects of the project were necessary, and whether there was a priority to the elements of the job. There was a general concern about relocating offices and related expenses such as carpeting and paint. Ms. Vine spoke to the issue of need, and explained that the Town has a responsibility to keep the building in good working order, to increase efficiency, and to be as welcoming to the public as possible. She explained that there will be significant upgrades inside the entrance to the building to better service the public and direct them either to the Town Clerk’s office or other appropriate locations.
