The director briefed trustees on library capital planning, noting that a full replacement of the library parking lot will not be submitted for FY28. The Facilities department found that required site engineering to protect the water table and manage runoff with granite additions will make the project too expensive to fund soon. The project will instead be proposed for town capital planning two to three years in the future. Outcome: Capital parking lot request deferred to future town capital plan cycles.

The board discussed a communication letter drafted to the Department of Public Works regarding maintenance delays and the library parking lot. DPW Director Bill Cundiff joined the discussion to explain that full parking lot repaving is a capital project that requires a town meeting warrant article sponsored by the trustees rather than a DPW operational repair. Cundiff offered to assist the library with engineering contacts and project scoping to bring a capital request to Town Meeting. Outcome: Trustee leadership agreed to review correspondence and coordinate directly with DPW on capital scoping.
