Approval of Minutes of February 5, 2026
On motion duly made and seconded, the minutes of February 5, 2026 were approved
unanimously by roll call vote with one correction, to change the time of adjournment to
4:40 p.m.
Chair’s Meeting with Judy Baldasaro
Chair Nick met with Judy Baldasaro from the IT Department to bring her up to date on
our database activity. Judy needs to perform several maintenance tasks to get our
database up and running. For example, when the town updated its license, certain parts
pertaining to our database were omitted and must be rebuilt by Judy. We will make sure
the database infrastructure is in good working order before we share details.
Approval of Announcement Letter to Selected Town Organizations
Glen shared the draft of his letter to key town organizations, announcing the completion
of our database and inviting groups to utilize this new resource. The letter incorporated
suggested edits by several committee members. The committee agreed that, at the
appropriate time, this letter would be sent to the selected groups.
Story Assignments
The remainder of the meeting was dedicated to assigning writing tasks to members.
Nick will send a summary list of tasks and volunteers. We are also missing a
considerable number of photographs. Nick has a large collection of miscellaneous
photos. He will review and extract any that we can use with our monument stories, but
we will still need to take fresh photographs of quite a few monuments.
The Committee voted to adjourn at 4:40 p.m. by roll call vote. Next Meeting: April 2, 2026.
Respectfully submitted,
Linda Dixon, Secretary
