The meeting began at 8:04 with an online Roll Call & Reading of the Statement on Use of Virtual
Meetings. Minutes for March 17 were approved unanimously as motioned by Mark and
seconded by Melinda. There were no general announcements or public comments.
Slides for spring presentations
Mark & Cristina presented a draft of a slide deck to use in our final report presentations, and
members provided comments to fold into the slides. These will be further developed and
emailed to members early next week for review at the next meeting.
The committee discussed "feasibility and market demand" as it related to the slide with our
charge listed. It is unclear if this directive is meant to be programmatic, financial, or both.
Report draft
The committee established April 27, 7:30 pm as our target for the last public forum, and Cristina
will request a Zoom link from the town. Jeff will be confirming our meeting dates with the
Library Trustees and Select Board, which will be in-person (as we understand it).
Kathleen noted that she will be recruiting community partners to speak on the 27th in support of
the reuse recommendations, and as a testament to market demand from a user perspective.
The role of the Director needs to be fleshed out/expanded. Interpretation of the Stone should
begin before the building's restoration is completed. Cooperation with other Town committees is
important.
Market Demand
An appointed director could work on outreach and programming which might create more market
demand.

Cristina will provide the committee with a revised timetable of deliverables for final report
sections, and will set up an editorial group. Carolyn volunteered to help with the "next steps"
section. Members were encouraged to email her with updates to the sections they are writing.
Editing Subcommittee will be formed —Jeff H. indicated that he wants to be included (Other
individuals names to be added.) The committee discussed approaches on how to move forward
with the document, and designated Cristina and Meg to lead the process.
Adjournment
The meeting adjourned at 9:17, as motioned by Mark, seconded by Melinda, and unanimously
approved.
